Love it! Jenna, the stitches you dropped for the distressed look will continue to "run" unless you somehow secure them to the row below. I know you wanted a hole and not a full on unravelling. Your sweater is WONDERFUL!!

Came here to say this. Jumper’s fab. Don’t want her unravelling all the way!

Yes! She could also do a combo of ssk and yo to make holes without any laddering or unraveling. I think that might be how the holes she showed were created (could be wrong, the image was hard for me to see).

yeah the way to fix that would just be casting off a stitch in the middle but not completely letting it go

@@UnsolicitedThoughtsOfARose it's hard to see in very large stitches like this but i'm pretty sure the original sweater didn't have a yo/ssk hole but actually a dropped stitch/ladder the technique i've seen before for it is yo where you want your stitch to stop falling, (mark the new stitch so you don't accidentally drop its neighbour), knit normally until you reach where your stitch should start dropping, get the stitch off your needle and watch it unravel until the yo.

@@iyawakarehen That sounds cool! I’m used to working with smaller stitches.
I’ve legit been searching for a tutorial for this exact type of (diy fishnet like) knit for half a year now and couldn’t find anything as easy and comprehensible as your video!! Thank you so much for this!! Your sweater turned out absolutely stunning!!
Drop stitching is actually a thing! But you could add a yarn over and knit a few rows, then drop the stitch that is in the row of the yarn over. That will give you control over your drop stitches! I searched for bubble knit technique and learned it there

Make more of this.....am enjoying your tutorials
For your balaclavas, that kind of wonky stitching can even itself out if you block! AKA depending on the yarn washing instructions hand wash in the sink and wring the water out with a towel and then lay it flat to dry, it works miracles for uneven tension
You absolutely saved the look with adding the extra color!!! Love you sm and love your style! At first I was like hmmm not sure about that then you always come through with the coolest stuff
I love your knitting and crocheting videos!! And your energy is immaculate lol

i love youuuuuu!
Love this , this is exactly the vibe I’m going for ! Just starting working with yarn ! I’m definitely excited❤️
Love Love Love this! Now I'm going to make myself a sweater with this free style knitting stuff. You are so fun to watch. Thank you!
Your video is so funny and light hearted and positive! I have loved all the hand crafts since I was a little girl so this was really fun to watch and the end result is a custom one off design which, lets face it, are the best! Great job and thanks for sharing!
for the hand dyed yarn hanks you should totally order a swift!! the swift and the yarn winder work together like magic and it’s so satisfying!
I used this video to make a very over the top pink, purple, and orange sweater for my 6 year old. It turned out beautifully and she is going to be obsessed. Thank you!
the first video ive ever watched of your content but you seem like a wonderful person, i rly like how you actually showed clips of you knitting and i for sure will be knitting a sweater inspired by yours:) hope you have a nice day !
Right now I'm working on sewing up a couple of knitted sleeves. I'm so excited!!!
Thank you sooo much! I’m knitting more than a year, but only now I realized how to knit a sweater!!! Btw thanks for the idea to use a hook!
Jenna!! You've inspired me to try to crochet a sweater without a pattern! I've never made a sweater before and I've been crocheting for a month! (I've made 2 hats and a very wonky blanket lol.)

I want to make a sweater like this but I only kind of know how to crochet. I hope you love your sweater!
I loveee this video!! You’re really bringing trendy crochet/knit wear content on youtube! Which is very rare 😭
I love your video's!! I dye my own yarn that I knit and crochet with and trust me a yarn swift is life changing along with the ball winder you have. They do open and collapse and store easily. So if you have room I would recommend one.
thank you for this 🥰! I’m a baby knitter but I understand this well and will be giving it a try. My fiber arts heart is so grateful i love ur vids
I came across your channel a few days ago and I must say I'm in love. Your work, your vibe, everythingggg is amazingggg
You ALWAYS make videos that I need ! I’m obsessed with ur content
I have those on my pins because I was planning on free knitting but I wasn't experienced enough. Thank you for this😭❤️
I have been looking for inspiration to do a free hand knit - FOUND YA!!!!!. Anyway, I found this cute sweater on Pintrest I've been wanting to make and just figured it out. Now your video laid the blueprint /picture - so I can now see how I'm to move forward on this project... Thanks...

This is the exact content I needed for that messy look. thank youu

Can you do a quick tutorial on how you attached everything together with crochet? And how you made a collar and stuff?
WoooooW. I love it!! Good job, Jenna!!

Love love love what you did. Thank you for your inspiring content.

I am going to try this.
Love this tutorial...Thank you, Jenna will definitely subscribe to your channel and these is the way I was taught as a child to make sweaters and stuff 🤣 because I wasn't very good at math and plus knitting swatches and all that other stuff wasn't a thing for me
Love it.. great job❤️❤️❤️
Haha, this is so fun to watch, your finished sweater is kind cool. Just need to secure the drop stiches from further dropping then you are good to go. by the way the color is stunning!

u have such a great vibe
thank you you are the best
wow, Jenna really did just pull off a haute couture piece like it's no big deal
LOVVE IT!!!
I like it buuuut Jenna did you secure the drop stitch because if you didn't it will keep unraveling. But since it is 100% wool it might not unravel easily. Get a drop of water felt up that drop stitch to the inside of sweater or somehow tie it down so it doesn't keep dropping. I hope it doesn't move much because it looks like roving yarn and that is usually a little sticky to itself. TIP. If you want a drop stitch knit two together and make make a yarn over to replace that stitch . When you knit back you have a hole. Also if you want a large hole you yarn over twice and when knitting back knit into the double yarn over creating a large hole. Either way it look great and interesting. Maybe u would use needle bigger than yarn but not too big of the stitches like you did for a nice lacy top for the summer over sport bra etc
looks amazing, I need a tutorial how to drop stitches to make it look distressed like you did it :)
Girl ive been neeeeedding content Like this to get ideas how to do cool stuff Like this and where did you get the needles
You are talented and funny , I loved the sweater when you thought it was a granny , now I think it’s a Frankenstein 😂 . But you pull it off very well 😀
I love watching your creative process
Very cute! And very Jenna!
I love your video it‘s so simple but i wanted to ask where in the row you add the two stitches
That yarn is from Chile, my home coutry OMG!
Love your Videos so much, greetings from germany 💛
hi Jenna! have you considered knitting shorts or pants? would love a tutorial from ya 💚
Love the knit how it came out but I learned nothing on how to knit it lol, you seemed all over the place but I enjoyed the video in general
Wow!! Did you make the brown Patagonia sweater you’re wearing?! It’s amazing
I highly recommend you get a swift for that hank yarn I promise it helps a lot 😂😂😂
The way you dropped the stitch 😂😂😂😂 you said NOPE 😂😂😂😂😂… I’m weak lol 😂😂
Hi ! Very interested in know how much wool was needed to do this

i really want to make this top but i didnt understand how to (and i cannot find any other tutorial).. Could you do a deep dive tutorial on this top (cause it looks so confusing as hell)??
Don't worry about whether you're knitting Continental or English, knit however you want to! If it works for you then there's no reason to change to a different way of knitting. I taught myself to knit backwards so I wouldn't have to turn my work while knitting a flat piece, lol. There are no rules, do what makes you happy!
Could you make a crochet version of this?
I ADORE the sweater you are wearing in this video 😍 did you thrift it? Love from Germany 💕🧶
What’s the weight of the yarn? Btw this turned out so cute! Like something you’d see on Pinterest
omg you have to see this it’s so funny so i knew your channel by accidentand we have the same name and we both do crochet and knitting and we both listen to crime podcast while we're working
Your crocheting is amazing could yo7 please do more of them.
How much yarn did you use? Its lovely
I got exactly the same wool wrapper..? I don't know the English word, but this thing changed everything, never invested 15€ so good
Jenna I love your videos! Ive recently started to knit and youve been such an inspiration. Also, ive been wondering where youre from, just out of curiosity, and then at 9:17 you said "mark öut" and i knew you were canadian! Anyways, thank you for the videos!
Off topic a little but do you have tips for making a dog sweater? I thought I'd start there before I tackle making one for me
PS. Have you tried flicking cause that might be easier to pull yarn when stitches are a bit loose when knitting.
Most people don’t Continental knit with super chunky needles but if you wanna knit a faster you should try flicking. It’s still English style knitting but it’s faster
How much of the hand dyed yarn did you end up using?
