Knit a Cozy Sweater in One Piece | Beginner Friendly Knitting in the Round DIY Tutorial (Part 1)

[@O7ghostX]

I feel like for a lot of knitters because they're so experienced they don't explain anything in the pattern, and I get that. But when you're a beginner it's really annoying. I bought the yarn for a pattern from garnstudio (I know. I know) and since their pattern is already hard to decipher, not explaining anything as to how you increase and why at this specific spot, makes it really hard. So thank you. Thanks a lot!

[@WellLovedKnits]

I'm so glad you found this helpful!! I can 100% relate to you

[@cyanidesungrl]

agreed, I’ve been trying to search for some kind of visual explanation for raglan increases and this video explained it PERFECTLY! even ”beginner” patterns skip over a lot of important info

[@maddiemoe5335]

I learned crocheting because I got videos beginner friendly and you can find soo many videos where they explain so easily. I can't say the same about learning knitting. :(

[@lauramontesinos5261]

This video is SO HELPFUL. I've never really understood how this type of sweaters worked. But now I feel confident enough to start mine. Thanks!

[@amnaqureshi7346]

this is literally the best tutorial I’ve ever watched on beginner sweater making

[@orapronobis2149]

What a brilliant tutorial! As some have already noted for beginners at times we love a pattern that is beginner friendly but the video tutorials are missing steps, reminders or explainations. Brilliantly you have mastered a true tutorial that is beginner friendly. I can not wait to begin this make. Your actual showing of the swatches make so much sense to see visual the outcome of stitiches from various yarns to include the transfering of another needle. Thank you for gifts and talents in such a wonderful and yes again, BRILLIANT tutuorial.

[@IrinaZumba]

If you can, please make more videos. I watched this a while back and came back to find it again because it's so good and made knitting a sweater seem more possible than ever. Would love to see another raglan or just more techniques. Also, the diagram explaining the collar and the markers is amazingly helpful. Thanks so much!

[@FridayKnits]

Top down knitting is everything! Also love your yarn choice! I might work with 2 strands of something similar in future!

[@aspengrey1898]

That sweater is top tier. So cozy, chic and beautiful .

[@lsl43deo]

I’ve never knitted, but now am seriously considering it. I am starting to watch instructional videos and follow up with a very plain project, as I wish to master at least two primary stitch types, and proceed from there. We had a beautiful Persian Ginger cat, who I rescued following a massive and rather destructive tropical storm in our city. We named her Molly. Like your beautiful Molly, she always supervised all work we were engaged in, be it splayed on the laptop keyboard, reading a book, or anything else. Kitties are indeed special. Thank you for sharing your ideas and time. Kisses and “scritches” to Molly. ❤️🌷❤️

[@Nicolescorpiodragon]

This is the best explanation of the stitching process for a top down raglan knit I've seen. You have really great camera work and it makes it easy to see each step. Thank you.

[@WellLovedKnits]

Glad it was helpful!!

[@demelza32]

Thanks for this. I am a noob to making jumpers(I think I made one when I was a teenager) , and have dabbled in knitting continuous lengths . I love the look of home made jumpers, but have avoided investing some time into it. I love sewing on my machine and am crafty by nature. I will give it a go now, if you don't try something you don't know how you will be with it!!

[@mollyoxy]

I was struggling with M1L so much but they way you do it is sooo much easier! Thanks

[@WellLovedKnits]

Great to hear!

[@earthyandfree]

Will you make a detailed video of every detail? Like how to make every stitch, how to do it all?

[@sheenamatherne6546]

Your videos are helping me so much. I have such a hard time keeping track of my stitches and where I am in the pattern. Thanks!

[@TotallyYari.]

I bought your pattern and this is my first time ever knitting anything (I’m a crocheter)... I’m a little confused on the “raglan” term but hopefully I will get it! I just finished the collar and it doesn’t look bad 🤩 I also am using 3 strands of yarn bee romantic yarn 🧶 I hope it comes out! If not, I’ll try again lol

I'm currently working on this sweater and wondering which method you would recommend for joining two skeins of yarn together when we are at the end of one skein?

[@emmanuelleh7218]

Your videos are really well made ! I'm still trying to learn crochet but I'm definitely considering trying my hand on knitting soon. I'll go straight to your store as soon as I do ! (Also how cute are your cat's little white paws...)

[@ofirbenborhoum5469]

How many stitches did you cast on at the beginning of the collar ??

[@marlenapuawska5531]

what a great knitting case. Could you tell me where I can buy it? :-) Kind regards

[@kitkatherine23]

What length of needles do you need? Also how many balls of this yarn did you need? Its a lot more affordable than wool and gang from wool warehouse so i was going to buy it to save money but it seems like a different size and yardage.

[@jennyvandenhoven135]

What is the tittle for part two? The sleeves and body separation?

[@Dr3amingAwak3]

If I decide to knit this project with a thinner yarn. Should I swatch to match the gauge in the pattern?

[@tagqasim4668]

This looks really helpful, thank u so much & ur cat is so cute 🙂

[@wilfred660]

Do you increase every row or every other row in order to reach the armpit area. Probably this is a lot of increases unless if we start the neck area small

[@xxxana838]

Your videos are beautiful but with how many stitches we have to start? Or how much cm we have to achieve around? Thank you a lot 😊

[@YourGirlKath]

sorry if this is a dumb question but I can't really tell- for the two strand knitting are you using to different skeins of yarn? I've never done two strand but like the idea.

[@WellLovedKnits]

Yes, I'm working with two skeins at a time :) If I have an odd amount of skeins, I usually unravel half and cut it to work with 2 strands.

[@deisyyohanasupelanofonseca4746]

Me encantan tus diseños😍 y tu gato!🐱🐈 Sería genial que tus patrones estuvieran en idioma español 🌻

[@belen8353]

could you explain how to make the raglan sts in the first row without increases please? love your pattern!

[@WellLovedKnits]

Hi! Essentially you would just knit one row while placing the stitch markers. That will mark out the two raglan stitches and then from there you would M1R + M1L to increase every other row.

[@argentlorena]

how many skeins of yarn did you use?

[@msyuliayusuf]

Lovely tutorial!! Thank you. Just wondering what i should do if im not using interchangeable needles?

[@WellLovedKnits]

Hi! It's not much different actually :) You would just take the other pair of needles when you're ready to switch out and knit with those, transferring the stitches from the old to new!

[@msyuliayusuf]

@@WellLovedKnits thanks for your reply! Should i also buy a certain length for the cable when buying circular needles? I’m seeing a few options e.g. 60cm, 80cm, 120cm and I’m not sure which one is suitable for this project

[@hodafathy7879]

sorry but English isn't my first language so sometimes I can't recognize what you are saying so I can't understand many things about the pattern like the increases why did you choose these spots and why did you change your needle size to a larger one I see knitters most of the time or even always do this and I can't get it I also wonder if it would be wrong step to knit a sweater with only one needle size ? sorry I asked a lot of questions but I am really a beginner knitter ( I am a crocheter ) so I am little bit confused when talking about knitting

Hi! I'm hoping to try this pattern, but using just one strand of yarn (instead of your two). If I do this, how does the pattern change (if at all)? Would I need to use smaller needles and add more stitches/rows? I haven't bought the pattern yet, but wondering if it also provides instructions on how to knit using just one strand. Thanks!

[@erical3755]

I would like to know this as well!

[@jenniferadachi568]

@@erical3755 I actually watched a different video on knitting gauge and it really helped! I was able to knit a swatch using the yarn/needles I have and then just adjusted it to match the gauge listed on the pattern! (I'm using a single strand of bulkier yarn than she uses in the video + 9mm needles and it's working really well so far!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g17Pp5WwndZmnNE

[@WellLovedKnits]

Yes, unfortunately since the pattern calls for two strands there is no instruction for only one strand. I'm glad to see you found a resource to adjust the swatch :)

[@Doorto_theriver]

I’m so confused because she gauged with one strand at the beginning of the video. Twice! Two swatches of one strand. But then she did the IG poll and went with double strand. So did the first strand match the gauge of the second? So confusing.

[@shirleycoonce8726]

@@Doorto_theriver I agree. I'm confused as well. To me, 2 strands with bulky yarn would be a coat. Not a sweater.

[@dcantu-paez4308]

I didn’t understand about not adding stitches every other row at the end of the video? Can you explain?

[@WellLovedKnits]

You alternate increase rounds when knitting the yoke. Basically you work one round while making increases and then on the next round you would knit without increasing. You’d continue this until you reach the number of rows specified in the pattern :)

[@dinoglob6264]

How do I know how many stitches I need for the ribbing of my sweater?

[@kyradonohue3537]

I am on the newer side to knitting and only have circular needles 12 mm, should I buy size 10 mm as well and how would I switch them if they are not the interchangeable ones?

[@UnsolicitedThoughtsOfARose]

Yes, you will need both. It is really simple to switch them. Let’s say you are switching from 10mm to 12mm. In your left hand you have the stitched on the 10mm needle. In your right hand hold the empty 12mm needle. Start knitting with the two different sizes until all the stitches from your left 10mm needle are transferred onto your right 12mm needle. Then just start knitting regularly with the 12mm needles! I hope this makes sense, it’s a bit hard to write out!

[@katringabrielle4672]

I bought your pattern and watched the video twice. What are raglan stiches? How do you do them?

[@WellLovedKnits]

Hey there! At minute 3:38, I go into setting up the sweater. The raglan stitches in the pattern are normal knit stitches. The divide the sleeves and body and you make increases just before and after them at the markers.

[@katringabrielle4672]

@@WellLovedKnits thank you so much!! I’m a beginner and was so confused.

[@Frost-mv4pz]

@@WellLovedKnits How do you figure out how many stitches you need to have between the reglan stitches? In your project it looked like 2, but in the example (the circle) it looked like the ratio was a lot smaller between the back and the sleeves for instance. Btw your video is great, just what I needed to make my own sweater. Haven't done one before and you made me understand how to begin.

[@ellastukenkemper2961]

Hey, I'd love to make this sweater with some yarn I already have. The only problem is that it's way smaller than the one you're working with so for a 10cm/10cm gauge it's 15 stitches/18 rows and I'd use 6mm needles. Do you know how I can calculate your instructions to fit my yarn? Also thank you for your wonderful videos, I only just found them but I'm already so in love :))

[@ellastukenkemper2961]

@Cayla hey, so what I ended up doing is calculating all of her stitches x1.5 since 10cm for me are 15 stitches and up until now it worked perfectly :) I'm just onto the sleeves now :) good luck!

[@Peachlollies]

I’ve just purchased your pattern for this sweater after finally mastering my stitches, I’m in the UK and on a budget so would Paintbox Acrylic Aran yarn work for this pattern? Or do you know of any reasonably priced yarns that would be a good substitute I get lost in the yarn search....

[@cavelleardiel]

Thrift stores are a great place to find yarn.

[@nicolerandall9491]

This is probably a really dumb question, but could you knit this sweater using thicker wool in just one strand for the same effect, never done double strand knitting before and it makes me nervous

[@WellLovedKnits]

You could, you just need to find a yarn that meets the correct gauge. Actually I tried to do only one strand with this yarn, but ultimately decided two strands worked best :)

Are you doing the increase rounds on knit rows or purle rows? because i see you doing knit stiches after the increases in the video but in the patters it says to knit one full row between increase rows, and im just confused :DD when do you purle then? xD sorry if its a stupid question, maybe my brain is just not working xDDD

[@JaredNotJerrad]

Hey, just bought the pattern. Can i also knit with one strand or does it have to be two strands for the pattern to work out?

[@amhesse2097]

It is all about the gauge being the same as the pattern calls for, so the stitches make the right measurements. If 1 strand doesn't equal the gauge (stitches per inch) then it won't be the measurement expected in the pattern that is written expecting you to use 2 strands. But if your 1 strand is super chunky and meets the same gauge as her 2 strands you should be fine.

[@neena8918]

Would be nice if it was more detailed :/ you didn't say how many stitches to cast on.
