My partner and I are Kiwis living in New Zealand but he grew up in Iceland until his twenties. His heart, children, grandchildren are in Iceland. We cannot travel there yet, so I am determined to soothe his heart by attempting to knit an Icelandic sweater for him. Your videos have given me the confidence to just do it. Thanks so much!

I did enjoy this video and the music also and I can easily follow your video but I think people do need to have a little knowledge on knitting for it to really be a “beginners guide”. To me it’s it is more like a “knitters guide to beginning knitting Icelandic sweaters”. I have knitted many year including in the round and colour work I am not sure any real beginner would find it so easy so they may need to go and learn a few basics first but we’ll worth it to make these type of garments.

Agree 100% I’ve knitted for years and many sweaters but I’m completely lost right from the cast on....half the stitches?...then picking up 3 rows below or something, maybe I’m having a dumb day, I’ll try another day lol.

Agreed as well. This lady picks up the stitches to M1 from the 3rd two below, I've always wanted to make an Icelandic sweater, they are so beautiful.

I really appreciate that you go step by step with patterns on your channel. I live in the Midwest region of the US and knitting isn’t very popular here. In fact, I don’t know anyone personally who knits. So it’s kind of impossible for me to ask questions when I don’t understand something about a knitting pattern. Your videos have inspired me and given me the courage to make more than just hats, socks and mittens. 😂 I’m no longer scared! Thank you!!!

Wow! So many tips, the cast on, the hot water to loosen the circular needles coil! I wish I found you earlier! Saving you for future projects!!

Hello. Great tutorial. I have a problem though. When I connect the sleeves and the body on the 80cm needles, I find it difficult to knit around the sleeve areas because of the armhole stitches that keep the needles together, and those stitches are very stretched ( the armhole ones ) . Is there any trick to knit without stretching them?

Why do you make an extra stitch when casting on ,only to slip it over the first stitch when you join? Is it to make the join neater? I love these sweaters. Definitely going to make one after Christmas! Thank you!

When counting do you include the sleeves ?? Thank you

MY Wife and I love those sweaters. Where is the pattern?

Hi! This is my first time knitting a sweater and I found your video is so helpful for me. However I have one question, I follow your pattern and I knit size S, when I move to the body part and finish the rib your pattern did not mention adding more sts. And in your video, you added 6 sts more. So I wonder what should I do in this case? Thanks a lot!

Is the announced advanced video already online?

COMO PUEDO ADQUIRIR LOS PATRONES ..??gracias.

I have a question. In this video you say to add stitches after you complete the ribbing for the body. In the pattern that is not mentioned. I am knitting a size Small and have 132 stitches cast on. Can you please confirm which is the correct instruction before I move forward?

@yuhaknitting

2 жыл бұрын

That’s right! 132sts for size S. Sometimes patterns have this increase in number after the rib part to have it slightly tighter, but it is also ok with the same number, but smaller needles 😊

One more question. As I am looking at this closer, my stitch count won’t add up. I have 50 stitches on each sleeve and 132 on the body totaling 232 stitches. Per the written pattern, it says the total number of stitches for size small should only be 200 (232 is for the largest size). Help!

In the pattern for the sleeve it says “place x number of middle stitches on stitch holder and knit second sleeve” - but you put all the stitches on a holder. I’m not sure what to do?

I am enjoying knitting your pattern, but I have just come to review your video and I realize the pattern I downloaded is different from what you are doing on here! On my pattern, there is no step to increase 6 stitches evenly after the bottom rib band on the body! I have already knit the body without those increases. Did the pattern get changed or was it somehow omitted in my copy?

My concern is now getting to the yoke, the pattern may be off. However, interestingly, the number of stitches is correct! You say I should have 208 when sleeves are joined to body to start the yoke and that is the number that I have. The 208 divides evenly into the 8 stitch pattern repeat, so it looks like I will be fine. I'm just confused by the difference in my pattern and yours! 😅 Am I doing it right? I hope so. It is a really nice pattern!

Thanks but I couldn’t understand how many stitches you add and I couldn’t understand why don’t you use the circular needles The especially when you take the stitches in the beginning after you use different yarn colour which stitch you take it and put it in the needle

Si esto estuviese en español sería mucho más fácil

I am learning to knit with the continental way of holding the yarn on the fingers of the left hand. I see you do purl differently. I need to see it more slowly.

I am very sad right know, i made 2 sweaters with your pattern and both came out terrible, the yoke comes out way too high😪

Some random guy in Texas: que?

Please can you not use a circular needle for the sleeves because the double pointed needles are just to hard for a beginner like me. I know that there are knitters who use only circular needles for the sleeves as well.

After 11 months still no reaction, not very nice of you is it?
