I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for using straight needles, they're all I have right now and I need to wait the circular ones I want to be in restock and it's taking forever 😭

Thank u so much😘. Finally someone is teaching me knitting with straight needles, I've been looking all over the internet and almost started to feel that I can not make anything with straight needles knitting. 😍you are so talented the way you made the neckline and decreases in the sleeves. I will start practicing on my old, over practiced on yarn, and who knows maybe with your easy and comprehensive explaining I might get good at it enough to actually buy some new yarn. (I'm a beginner at knitting and English is my second language, sorry). I wish you goodluck on your channel and wish you teach more straight needle knitting projects. 🌸🌼💮

It looks so incredibly cute, I love it! 💖

Did you see this on Mia Maples channel. I did several months ago and then resaw ( not a word btw) it tonight. So... I came in to see if I could find it and saw your interpretation of the jumper. I HAVE to do this. I’ve been a knitter for 50 years so I should be able to do it. Thanks for the inspiration. Good luck 🇦🇺❤️

@Sig33

Size 7 needles should work, but it depends on your yarn (I recommend using the needle size that’s on the yarn label, but if not, try knitting a small square to find the gauge, and then use it with your measurements to create a pattern). I hope this helps :)

I’m not sure I have the stamina to make another sweater, but if I do, that’d be an awesome one to try!!
Do you have a written pattern on Etsy or a tutorial you used for the neckline? It is the one area I am finding hard to fully understand.
@Sig33
3 жыл бұрын
I didn’t use a specific tutorial, but look up how to pick up stitches, and once you’ve picked up the amount of stitches that were on one side of the neckline, start doing rows of ribbing, continue doing rows of ribbing until you’re happy with the height of the neckline. Then cast off and do the same thing on the other side of the neckline. After, stitch up the 2 sides of the neckline together on the sides. I hope this helps!
Hello, I was wondering if you could tell me when shaping the neckline when I am decreasing my rows from 43 count to 30 ( I am on left shoulder side) ~ do I decrease only on the knit row by knitting 2 together, then a normal purl row? or is it on every knit row decrease 2, purl row decrease 2 then purl. Thank you Ahh I am so confused

4:33 I don't understand, after you did 43 knit stitches, did you then slip 4,one after another, like slip1, slip another and another and another until you slipped 4 (slipping all 4 stitches on the same right needle)? Please respond?

How to make my size swaeater
Can I use the same measurements to crochet it?
@Sig33
3 жыл бұрын
The measurements in inches will totally work, but in terms of stitches, I’m not sure. I recommend looking at your yarn label, calculating how many stitches and rows in a 1x1 inch square (or cm), for both knitting and crocheting, and then compare. If they’re the same measurement, it could totally work (keep in mind the stretch of the stockinette stitch though, you might want to make the crochet sweater slightly bigger since it probably won’t stretch much). Hope this helps!

I got 90 stitches by multiplying the width in inches I wanted for my front panel by the amount of stitches for a one by one inch square with the yarn I was using (I got that info from my yarn label). I hope that helps!

try practicing on a smaller piece to get the hang of it, use circular needles, or if nothing else works, you could knit it separately and stitch it on or even crochet it! hope this helps
