My favorite way to knit sleeves is 2 at a time in a long circular needle. Then I can keep my tension and pattern consistent. ❤

I would like you to know that i have been knitting off and on for at least 50 years and I watched this one video of yours and learned 3 new ways to do things that I always just made up a way to do it as i didnt know how…. You have cleared up so many little things for me. Thank you thank you thank you

I would love to see more full knit tutorials from you for beginner knitters to create full projects like this. Love this sweater❤

Finally I found well explained, well showed and well presented tutorial of how to knit a sweater!! And thank you for the small tips like how to connect yarn and things like that!! I have unfinished sweater, because I had no idea how to continue with the top. Thanks to you, I will be able to finish it finally!!! Thank you so much!! 💕❤️💐

I’m part way through this sweater! I’m in the process of hand spinning yarn from a raw fleece I processed myself, from which I will eventually be knitting a sweater, but I’ve never knit a sweater before, so figured I should probably do at least one from commercial yarn before I dare use hand spun. This fit the bill perfectly!

LOVED this tutorial. Ur English is great and u r not verbose (which can b confusing). U r a very good teacher. I think I'll try chunky for first sweater hopefully in future as I'm disabled. Thanks.

Loved your tutorial. You make sweater knitting look so easy I want to try it. Your sweet personality shows through your teaching

I've just finished this sweater! It is my first ever sweater, too! Thank you so much for the written and video instructions. The video, especially, was super helpful. I've learnt a lot during this entire process and I'm so excited to start a new project ❤️🌟

What a lovely detailed tutorial! You've addressed most issues that can lead to knitting frustrations for newbies.

Will you please make more knitting tutorials, some for a bit more advanced techniques? I absolutely loved your sweater haul and would love to see more things of the sort.

Hi, nice profile picture 😝

Thanks for sharing your content! I really enjoy your enthusiasm and your approach to knitting, i am currently making this jumper for myself and am so pleased with how its going! Really enjoy making things and knitting myself, seeing that other people do to only adds to that joy! Xxx thanks again

Oh! And l am impressed about the tip on the prolonging the thread... You are such a wise knitting person! You save and make clean looking knitted sweaters! Admirable!

Hello Kika! Greetings from the Philippines..I always enjoy your videos! I returned to knitting just last year 2021 inspired by your videos..my mother taught me knitting but I did not take it seriously. Now I believed I'm hooked to knitting!!! Thank you for the inspiration.

THANK YOU! I have learned so much. I never knew what knit in the back side was and how to eliminate the holes when adding on a stitch. This is the kind of thing that makes sweaters have a better finished look. You are wonderful. Ann, NC, US

I am really grateful for the pattern and the video tutorial, huge thank You!

Beginner knitter here. I found your instructions very clear and helpful. I bought and made this pattern because I really needed practice with purling, increasing, and consistency with tension. My sweater is finished and it isn't great, but I learned a lot. It turns out that my inconsistent tensioning is my biggest problem. Honestly, I am happy even though it isn't perfect. It will still be fine for the frigid desert mornings and evenings in the house. I will try making it again, better the next time, as it is a very comfortable sweater. Thank you ❤

Kika! I'm enjoying this knitting of a sweater so very much! Thank you! God bless you! I'm almost done with the front piece!

I’m so excited 🥰😊. I’m being waiting to do something to wear with my hands❤️. Thank you 💐

I love Drop Wish yarns. Thank you for the free pattern. I will start casting on this weekend and hopefully I can wear them next Sunday for brunch :)

I have just finished this sweater, although I screwed up the neck a bit but it still looks good and I am very proud of it! I adore the Drops yarn. Now off to raid your other tutorials for ideas of what to make next! 😊 P.s I have asked for your book for Christmas. Best wishes 😁

Best tutorial ever for a beginner like me! Thanks so much, im sharing this to my friends who are also beginner knitters!

Love your patterns and tutorials. I can't believe I just recently found your channel. OMG, I love your help knitting these gorgeous tops!

I just finished my first sweater, too! The tutorial is very detailed and easy to follow, and I had so much fun knitting. My sweater turned out beautiful and cozy. Thank you very much from Ukraine!

Thank you for sharing , I am very happy to be the proud owner of my first home made jumper 😍😃 I love this knitting channel it has given me the skills I’ve wished x x Thank you x

Thank you so much! ❤️ The tutorial is amazing, can’t wait to knit my own sweater.

Thank you Kika! I am going to start on this sweater this week! Love all your videos! 🤍🧶

New to your channel. Thank you for the pattern. I have always wanted to knit my own sweaters. You have given me the inspiration to give it a go. This style of sweater is great for a petite person. Your tutorial is easy to understand and I like the close up shots of the knitting stitches. Again thank you from Judy Lou in Indiana, USA.

this is the best pattern ever after i am done with this order i will start on the sweater for my self this tutorial is on point and does not do clickbliat than other channels do and dont show how to knit a sweater for begginers thank you for this complete tutorial now i can make my own clothes

I just started knitting 3 months ago and I've worked my way up to sweaters. I've done a few top down and im honestly scared to try some other patterns especially the ones that requires me to sew the pieces. Because of your videos and the resources you provide you've got me hooked on your videos and I'm now off to buy your book to show my support. I appreciate all the free resources you've provided ❤

I purchased my yarn today and started this sweater! So fun! Thank you!

Kika!! You are so amazing, thanks for this tutorial. Lots of love to you and I hope you keep doing things that you love and sharing them with us 💕😚

Thank you for the lovely pattern. I appreciate your generosity.

I like that this is knitted, flat & seamed. I find this a to be a much better fit than the knit in the round stuff. Thank you for sharing and posting.

Hi Ms. Kika. With climate change, I'm teaching myself along with this tutorial, how to knit a sweater. In the past years, It hardly got cold enough to put on a sweater during winter here in the Gulf of Mexico, now all has changed. The temp the past 2 winter, drop to around 35 f degrees. May need to buy a coat as well. Thank you for such a fun instructional upload. Patricia-South Padre Island, Texas

Hey Kika, I finally mustered up the courage to knit my first sweater, thanks to you :D I have just ordered Drops Wish in the colour sea-green. Can't wait to start this project!

How many yarn balls do we need to order?

Great tutorial, thank you. I like the twisted rib, I will use that on my next sweater. I love your videos and patterns.

I just finished mine and I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for the instructions and helpful video. I was worried the neck hole would be way too big, I ended up using 5mm needles to knit the neck ribbing and it tightened it up perfectly and it doesn't flay outward. It took me about 1 month to make. One helpful tip I learned is to leave the ends really long before cutting them, so you can use that tail to sew the pieces together instead of adding more yarn on.

Hi! I like how you explained everything! In appearance, l thought it is not from the beginning, the entire story of knitting a sweater, yet, now l realize that all made sense and l understood it. It is what matters! I also noticed that each step had something different from all l make my sweaters! Yet, all l learned is that each knitting person has her own style and that is good and each new thing one finds out, can improve the style! So, thank you very much for your kind and very competent explanatory tutorial. I just loved listening and seeing it!

Downloaded the pattern ( thank you! ) and ordered the yarn. So excited ooh!

I learn so much from ur videos. THANK YOU ! i´m just a beginner knitting my first sweater

I just loved this video. Finally one video enough "easy" 👍👏🙂

This is amazing. Easy and it comes beautiful.

I really enjoy your kitting tutorials as i am new to knitting and can’t really read patterns

Thanks for the tips on exchanging needles when puring.

Very nice. I'm working on mine now. I can't wait to finish this project. It's so fun. Thank you. Kika. You're the best! Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🙏 🤗 👍 🎄 🎁

If you have interchangeable circular knitting needles, you could do as she suggests by putting different size needles on either side of the cable. The larger on the side you will knit with, and the smaller needle on the side you purl with. With the right side facing you flat, the larger needle would be on your left

Great sweater! I'm excited to knit one. ♡

Your energy travels miles ‼️

This is amazing!! Thank you so much 😀 it turned out lovely 😊 suggestion for another video - stitching the pieces together, I’m struggling with this one 🤦‍♀️

Hi there!! Kika explaines nicely how to stitch the pieces together in her another video "how to knit the chunky cardigan"...i found it very well explained and showed in detail, i think it will work well for the brunch sweater...just going to do that this afternoon🤗👍🤞🧶😉

Finally a video I can confront, that I feel I can make 😊 After 6 months of knitting rectangles I'm ready for a sweater 😅 Thanks Kika

Very nice sweater ! And quite easy to make it, thanks !

You're so creative! That's a good instruction.

This pattern was easy to follow and I loved the result! For fellow knitters, I had to essentially double the amount of increases in the arm to add width and length because the original pattern just did not suit my body (I made size M). I also referenced these videos for joining seams: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZapvNmBnNCqc6w.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/ho2apbOmo8WXmbA.html Happy knitting 🥰

I'm still watching your tutorial, but I just want to say that after I changed to combined knitting style (when I purl, I loop the yarn clockwise instead of counterclockwise), my knit and purl stitches became pretty much the same size. When my wrists are hurting, I purl in the Portuguese knitting style. It's much faster to purl this way and the purl stitch matches my continental knit stitch. :) Now I must go back and finish watching your vid!

Ive just ordered the Drops Wish Wool on Etsy. I'm in New Zealand and am a beginner knitter so I'm excited to try this pattern thanks heaps for the video and pattern.

I love your channel❣️ I enjoy watching knitters...do creative...and beautiful 😍. But many only showcase their work but do not offer much in teaching and technique 😉. And as a perk... you have a very positive...peppy...pleasant presentation. Sprinkled with easygoing humor...Thanks! Congrats on your book btw!

I think it would help me a lot! Thank you for your great work, keep going, I wish you all the best! Best regards, Doro

This is the lady that bought your book. I am trying to knit a sweater utilizing another book. I have read your book from cover to 29.lol! I haven't looked at the patterns. I am scrapping my sweater (got it down until the sleeves lol), but, I am going to try your instructions. I loved the pages in your book(paper feel) and most of all the heartfelt words. They touched me. Because of this very thing, I have a good feeling. I will take a photo of my/your sweater and share it with you. I even liked the size of your book. Ms. Hurt

Thank you, Kika! I live in a very warm country. I am planning to knit this sweater without the sleeves, so I will have a vest... Any suggestions? Maybe another tutorial video? 😊

Thank you so much I certainly will give this a try 😊

Thank you very.much for the pattern.

Hallo Kika! Vielen Dank für dieses Video und diese leicht verständliche Anleitung. Jetzt traue ich mich auch an meinen ersten Sweater. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland

Exactly what we beginners love. Straight forward pattern and explanations. Are you thinking of posting how to knit a cardigan then Iam with you.

Thank you so much for the pattern and for all your help. I hope i will be able to figure out how to do this for a 3 year old. If i keep subtracking the proper stitches maybe that will work? thanks again for a most delightful video !!

thank you I had knitted my first sweater for Barby when I was six , now I am 58 )

AMAZING thank you so much!!!

Hi Kika, I know you are very busy, but would you do a video(or did you do one?) where you're showing your favorite knitting tools, needles and all that stuff. And what you are using for your different projects? I really like to watch your videos. I've learned a lot, get inspired and i'm always happy to see a new video:) Greetings and a happy holiday 🎄

I would happely pay, for an online course from Kika. Professional and an honest smile

I definitely miscalculated how much yarn I would need. I bought the "air" version of the yarn you used and still went solely based off the weight in grams. so instead of 4-5 skeins of 100g (140m) yarn, I bought 10 skeins of 50 gram (150m) yarn. my American brain got so confused! I didn't realize until after my purchase was finalized my mistake. maybe I can make a matching cardigan to go with my brunch sweater lol!

ooooh thanks for sharing!!!!

BEAUTIFUL oh my god ❤️

Thank you for a lovely tutorial. Can we knit this in the Round using Circular needles. ?

Ahhh I’m still working on my scrunchie ! I’ve also just realised I’m doing stitch on one row and pearl on every other row, not just pearl, bugger. But am happy with results so far. Will make two, just so I can see what the pearl stitch looks like on it’s own. Will hashtag to Instagram today.

I will try to do a video on that, good to know :) Yes so in the pattern it will say how many grams or meteres/ yards you use for the different sizes, so then depending on the weight of the ball of yarn (on the paper label it alwyas says how much it weighs and how many mentres/yards it is), so you then have to do a bit of math :)

Amazing

Nice. Love. Love.

Could you tell me what kind of yarn you used for this sweater. I love the colour. Thank you much!
