Knit a Classic V-Neck Vest // Step-by-Step DIY, Knitting Pattern

[@jazmynlizbeth483]

I’m a very experienced knitter, but sometimes it’s fun to just do a quick project with thicker yarn. Absolutely love the vest! Such a gorgeous and classic design.

[@meeegnn]

adding this to my making list, i absolutely love your tutorials, it’s so clear what to do and it really helps with your patterns 😊

[@WellLovedKnits]

I am so happy to hear that!! Thank you so much for being here :)

[@ombradeisogni6586]

Omg I've just finished today to knit my very first vest (a completely DIY pattern that turned out strange but cute ). I just need to sew the front and back together (yes, I did It on straight needles, and I realized I need to buy circular ones asap 😂🙈) and you uploading this has just me feeling the current *vest mood* I'm in

[@WellLovedKnits]

Sweater vests are my new favorite! OMG yes you need circular needles haha I don't know what I'd do without mine..

[@dianaanonymous5794]

If you ever feel comfortable enough to do a tutorial of this vest *with* the cables, please drop a vid! I love how yours came out

[@ombradeisogni6586]

I'm also very glad to have found you because we use both english style so it's easier to follow through instead of others that use continental style And I'm definitely going to try to knit cables inspired by this video (even if I'm a bit afraid since I'm a beginner 🙈)

[@WellLovedKnits]

You definitely can knit cables!! I'm honestly so envious of continental knitters, I just don't know if I have the patience to learn at this point hahah

[@ombradeisogni6586]

@@WellLovedKnits same! I tried It but I was so uncomfortable, guess I need to practice a lot or maybe just accept it's not really my style lol

[@sedraalnakib4140]

I’m definitely doing this this is my next project and I’m rushing so I start this

[@irenecortez7819]

Just purchased this pattern. I hope I can make it with my beginner knitting experience. Love it.

[@weiyao498]

Very nice of you using pattern terms . Important to those who want to follow pattern.

[@emmanuelleh7218]

This vest looks so freaking cute ! Love the chunky yarn !

[@rimakells7891]

I just wanted to say you are a very good youtuber you give the whole details... Thank you

[@fcarol9602]

Thank you for your wonderful patterns. Can you add the part of twisted stitches of your V Vest and the technic to do the braided line above the V Neck? Thank you so much!

[@janetoler7938]

You did an excellent job on that vest. Love it!!!

[@solangesouza6277]

What a beautiful work ! Thank you for sharing it ! 😊💗

[@noviered]

this was such a great tutorial! im a beginner and it was so easy to follow. thank you so much!!

[@ashlynmd]

how long did it take you to finish this sweater vest? if you don’t mind me asking 😁 i’m also a beginner knitter and i would like to attempt this project 👀

[@josephinap4167]

I bought the v-neck vest pattern and would love to knit it with the cables!❤️ So I was wondering how many stitches wide the cables are? And how much space is between the two of them?

[@traceylea5550]

I have also bought this pattern and would love make a second vest but this time with cables. Do have any addition info so i can use this pattern pls. many thanks

[@martinenord3302]

Hey, I just have one question. I’m apparently knitting the vest using 3 colors and a check pattern just like the original pattern. I have to change colors every row and there’s a lot of threads I have to secure in place and attach. Is there an easier way to change color all of the time? It’s very time consuming and I’m just wondering if there’s a method that would save me some time. Love your vest btw!

[@Rosa7388]

I'm not sure what method you're using to secure your yarn, but I can recommend watching Roxanne Richardson's Stranded Colorwork series. She talks about and demonstrates various methods of securing yarn when working in fair aisle but it can apply to other types of projects where you switch colours. I found her videos quite helpful.

[@yayoos6070]

I wish everyone peace and health and happiness

[@unplugandreadwithme]

Thank you so much for making this tutorial!! I have been waiting for this and its so helpful! 💗

[@민스누피]

You're video makes me feel comfortable! Thank you :) Love it

[@WellLovedKnits]

I love hearing that! Thank you for watching my 🌸💘⭐️💕

[@olgarodriguez1579]

At the end where you do the v , you pick up 2 , and then you slip the the other one , yours looks perfect , mine doesn’t have that little v in the center , do you do it in all rows ? I just don’t get those little v’s in the center of my collar 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@beimilyvan]

Very nice vest, I loved it! Thank you, blessings.

[@randomgirl01300]

I bought the pattern and I'm so nervous about starting. Wish me luck!

[@ellaraeheyns7132]

I’d love to see a tutorial on how to make those super cropped sweaters where it’s like basically just sleeves and a polar neck

[@sofia-ej2zz]

so cute! is this tutorial beginner friendly? this would be my first project

[@you.3158]

Hey!! How are you? Lemi tell you its a really help full tutorial, thank you, i have a question, what is the best size of needls for newbees??

[@sudhasharma9188]

Beautiful knitting. Please tell how many stitches did you cast on?

[@Grace-tg8yk]

I was looking at your website and I was wondering what yarn you used for your Retro V-neck sweater?? I love the color and would love to know

[@milagros273]

this tutorial is so useful!! do you also need to make decreases for the armband?

[@iamvengeful]

Im here wondering the same thing, haha!

[@ginacox7465]

I'm so confused. I just bought the linked pattern, but it has no directions for the cabled version!?

[@BrittonS.]

She said in the beginning that this is her first time using cables so she doesn't know how to explain the process and that the vest is intentionally plain to allow for personal customization.

[@aprilsart]

As a total beginner of knitting，I watched every V-neck titled video in this channel and still had no idea how to do it😢 l

[@catherineb6889]

Hey, I'd recommend to stay away from complex stitches like this cable one. A video that I found useful as a beginner myself was this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goO3k6iegdKSoMU

[@frankiesmith3663]

Hi, I have a quick question, you say that the pattern calls for aran weight yarn held double, but on the pattern it doesn't specify if it's held double or single, just wondering which it is! Love the pattern btw:)x

[@WellLovedKnits]

Hey! Yes you should knit with two strands together throughout :) unless you are substituting!

[@treewat3685]

@@WellLovedKnits I've just got the pattern of this for Christmas excited to start! was also wondering if I could just use a thicker yarn instead of 2 strands together if the gauge on the swatch works out right?

[@bethanywhite2950]

Do you have a pattern for that garter stitch cardigan you're wearing in this vid? It looks so cosy 😍

[@FarzanaAinsworth]

Im Making a sweater for the first time can you tell how to choose the size approximately like number of Stichels to begin with anf how many rows of knitting in the body !

[@gialucci]

Wow I am so intimidated to try it.

[@lidasantander2714]

Nice BUT how many stitches for medium size yarn 4 ply ?❤️

[@Marveahmd427]

Can you please please do another video of this with ribbing instructions. I would really love to do this vest with the ribbings design, but I am a beginner and I do not know how to follow written patterns.

[@teona819]

I am planning to do this with a thinner yarn. Hopefully, it goes well.

[@mantuun_buuz]

How did it go?

[@alanalythe3589]

how cool! wow

[@betharra6543]

Seria muy bueno pongas subtítulos en castellano. Están lindos tus tejidos😊😊

[@devasales964]

hello, how many yarns did you use to make this?

[@danh303]

This is an old comment but I recently recreated the cable knit vest in this video with the same yarn and it took 4 balls/skeins for me! Hope this helps :)

[@monicalindberg9147]

🤔 I'm lost.. In some Swedish tutorials the middle stitch with a marker are there from when devide the two front pieces when starting to shape the v neck Now when trying to put the knitted band I do not understand what to do with this "middle stitch with a marker around it". Plz help 💕

[@1jessdabest]

@well-loved knits - down the center how did you do the little v accent stitches in the body? Also, what cast off method do you recommend?

[@BrittonS.]

I think the V stitches are regular knit stitches because the rest of the background is in purl stitches making them stand out. Also I personally use the German cast on and knit 2 tog cast off for anything that needs to be stretchy like rubbing and then for the neck I’d just go with a basic cast off

[@1jessdabest]

Thank you!!

[@187.evelina]

good step by step like a begginer obviously will understand how to do all of this by grabbing yarn and needles, and by u showing "oh i did this i used this" yeah such a great explanation

[@ReeniEspino]

Hi! Just found your channel and patterns! Returning to knitting after awhile away (5 years or so)... you mention here that you sized down on the needles to work with the Paintbox bulky instead of 2 strands of Aran like in the pattern -- what should be the gauge for the new yarn? My daughter loves the look of this, i found some yarn that is 9 st=4" on sz 13, will it work the same? TIA for the help!

[@BrittonS.]

Sizing down on the needles for the bigger yarn should make the gauge the same as the original and if she doesn't say the exact measurement in the video it is likely just to get people to buy the pattern on her etsy shop as it would have all of the specific details needed to make the sweater.

[@CharleneDandelion]

I seem to pick up less stitches on the right side of the collar than the left side.. I find it hard to see where I need to pick up stitches because of how the line is formed by the increases. I hope it goes well. Its been a struggle :P

[@chipeinedovee9438]

This is so so good 😍 But we don't get the materials here 😥😥

[@reyhanmustafaeva544]

As a beginner I wanna say that I really don't like that u don't record full working process and also I really don't like when u miss explaining and showing how u did some patterns, for example in this video how did u and when did u add cables, maybe for experienced ppl ur videos r very useful, but for real beginners ur videos are not full and very hard to follow.

[@BrittonS.]

She said at the beginning that this is her first time making cables so she can't explain it well enough for a video yet. Also her not being specific in the video gets people to go buy the written pattern to use with this video.

[@tagqasim4668]

@@BrittonS. I believe that ppl are entitled to voice their own opinions based on their own level of expertise and how any tutorials are useful for them or not without someone getting defensive and trying to silence them! It's about the usefulness of the content, and everyone is different. This video is most certainly not for beginners, and it's most definitely not a step-by-step diy at all, its more like a quick run down. Many people offer much more in-depth actual "tutoring" and how-to details that are helpful for viewers of all levels while still offering & selling the pattern, while others are extremely skimpy with details. And while it's their prerogative, it's equally viewers' own prerogative to voice the contents' usability for them. No offense to anyone.

[@BrittonS.]

@@tagqasim4668 i didn’t say anything negative just that the video is vague on purpose so she can sell the pattern. I agree it isn’t a full step by step tutorial but it’s also not supposed to be. You’d be better of with free written patterns or KZbin videos if your a beginner. Or just buy her pattern and work it with the video as intended.

[@GoldBlackLotus]

Because the video is supplementary to the pattern. You need to learn to read patterns if you want to make stuff like this.

[@DYUKUSHIMAN]

Exactly. When it has "step-by-step" in the title, you'd expect a step-by-step tutorial... but I do understand that people want to sell their products.

[@delfinasanagua9623]

Hi! Hope you are doing great! I have a question, I have other needles the ones that are straight and don’t have a cable, can I use those?

[@catherineb6889]

Yeah, just make sure your needles are long enough for the number of stitches made

[@kelskie924]

can we use the straight knitting needle?

[@BrittonS.]

Anything worked back and forth can be made on straight needles as long as it fits on them but it would be hard to do the neck and arm ribbing on straight needles as they are in the round. There's probably a tutorial for it somewhere.
