My daughter is always after me to knit more sweaters for her "dolfie dolls" so I have changed the guage to 4mm for the rib and 5mm for the body and sleeves using a worsted weight (#4) acrylic yarn. I'm going to surprise her with a new jumper for her dolls every day in December along with a treat in the "mini" closed bottom jumper. Thanks guys!

I love this cast on, and since I learned magic loop first, I find it less fiddly than multiple DPNs. As you say, it’s what you learn first that sticks! These are adorable. They would make great gifts (or wrapping for small treats) in a Secret Santa scenario, too!

Love the little jumpers. See you Wednesday for another great sit and knit. X

i‘m a very slow knitter struggling with sockknitting for christmasgifts so i‘m not able to knit this little sweaters this year but i‘m really hooked for the countdown to the countdown for christmas 😹 … it’s the most wonderful time of the year … singing 🙃 ( be glad you can’t hear me 😹 ) have a good time ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for showing magic loop and sweaters! my mom would knit sets of Norse mittens that were xmas decorations that were about 2 in. x 1 inch and she knit with toothpicks!..4 or 5 picks at a time like double pointed...that was before magic loop was born!

I too just purchased the Advent Sweater Pattern and the Norwegian Yarn from Rowan via your link. I think I will string them from my fireplace....they are so adorable. Thank you for the WONDERFUL TRIP to Setesdal! It was better then any travel show I have ever seen and the countryside was so beautiful and the artisans were so facinating! I have watched each episode multiple times and keep learning more things each time. And Carlos, all the work you did for the translation was EXCELLENT and much appreciated! I look forward to another journey into a different section of Norway next summer, maybe to Bergen or Oslo? I have traveled through Norway and have always told everyone it is like "heaven on earth" as each twist and winding road leads to another adventure. But, to see it thru the eyes of you designer's eye is very special! Thank you so much too for sharing all the Setesdal patterns too. I cannot tell you which episode was the best as they all were so unique and ending with the wonderful interview representing the music of Setesdal. When I traveled there with my daughter her high point was in Bergen at the Home of Edvard Grieg as she is a pianist. We traveled in June and joyously had a wonderful snowfall as well. I can't wait to get started on these adorable sweaters and I will have a very special Advent Calendar! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and I look forward to another year of wonderful episodes....I love Sit and Knit for a Bit as we really get a feel for your life, and the technique and special episodes are so unique to any other You Tube Channel. Would you consider sharing more of your sewing knowledge? I have sewn all my clothes since I was 8 years old and love when you have sewing segments as well....it was especially interesting to see how you sew a Norwegian Sweater together. You have had such special lives and are a real Norwegian treasure. Carlos, since you are from Sweden would you consider a trip to some part of Sweden? My special interest is the Crafts of the Sami people. Just something to consider....Thanks for all the joy you bring me and getting me through Covid lockdown alone with my doggies. It was like having friends in the house with us. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!! Most Sincerely, Sandy

Because I find you both so charming, I taught myself how to knit last year. I had so much fun making Christmas balls. :). I bought the little sweater calendar pattern for this year, and I can’t wait to try them. But I haven’t a clue how to add the sleeves. Could you please do a slow tutorial on how to do that? I would really appreciate it!! :)

I can’t even knit. But I still need this calendar. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Thank you boys xxx

Those jumpers are awesome. Have a. Wonderful day. God bless and keep you both well and safe

Yes no favourites....the sweaters so cute. Can't wait till we start count down and put this year behind us.

Each single sweater of your calender 2021 is so pretty. The figure and the colours. Thumps up. 👍👍👍 I can't believe it, in 10 weeks christmas 2021 is over. I remember exactly Arne' s cookies bakery and knitting balls for the tree. Years run too fast.

I am on my second sweater. This time I am using magic loop for the whole thing. Seems more comfortable for my old bones. It is nice to see the whole side while looking at whole pattern. May keep using this method. Next I want to try doing both sleeves at same time. I just hope the edges are not too loose. I enjoyed the story of how you met. We will celebrate our 50th next June. Trying to decide where to travel. Thanks for letting me visit with you guys.

These are cuter than the Christmas balls last year!

those are adorable ! You two make Christmas so much fun , can't wait for the whole shebang to start ! Have a wonderful week !

Great! So Cute! Just bought the pattern. I might do an initial instead of a number, and use them as gift tags. (I know for a fact I will never finish the calendar this year...)

Carlos is correct, it is tough to choose best one!

I’m so smart!!!! That’s how I do toe up socks on magic loop!! Cool! I love your idea for calendar…❤️❤️❤️👍

I’m here for the closed cast on on Magic Loop for the 2023 advent, but may go buy the sweaters!

The jumpers are super, it would take me much longer to knit them, but love to see them.

The closed cast on reminds me of one I have used called Judy's Magic Cast On, w/ DPNs for socks. I've never tried magic loop so this is a learning adventure for me!

I have the pattern and will get the yarn tomorrow! I love these sweaters! I use Judy’s Magic Cast-On, as modified by Cat Bordhi, on my toe up socks and knit all small circumference items with 2 - 16” circulars which I prefer over DPNs and magic loop. I have quite a stash of those needles as I like to knit my socks concurrently and usually have two or more sets going!

LOVED seeing all the jumpers completed together. It seems many fans are already knitting them! I am seeing them pop up in my feed already this week. 👏👏👏 A great tutorial for the closed cast-on with magic loop. I know it will be appreciated. And thank you for starting the holiday season knitting early. Can't wait to see what you reveal during Advent.

❤️❤️❤️ A daily dose of Arne and Carlos makes me very joyful😊

Also Arnie's sweater is fabulous.

These little sweaters are adorable! Now to decide which colors. Thanks for a pre-Christmas launch to get into the spirit!

I love making little sweaters as ornaments for people who ask me to make them a sweater throughout the year lol.

You can cast on with 2 circulars, which is my preference. Love all the sweaters.

Arne gives great tutorials. I could watch them all day.

You guys are amazing.

This video will be on repeat a million times! What is easy for you is not for me! Who knows, I just may get it after the one millionth and one try! The sweaters are ever so cute. I love this calendar idea. I don't know how long this will take me to finish. There is Christmas in July, right! Oh the things we will learn this season! Can't wait! Keep it all coming! 🥰😊😁

I love the little sweaters.

This is the cutest stinkin idea ever!! Love it!

Those sweaters are adorable!

I really hate magic loop, all that pulling. But I am happy to say that using 2 16” circulars works great! No long loop of cord to pull. And the can be used for the whole sweater. Front on one, the back on the other. Love these beautiful mini sweaters! My Grandkids are going to love finding treats in these! ❤️

I love Christmas, too! And I do make new "things" every year!

I could not believe my eyes when I saw these little cuties. I bought the pattern and can't wait to get started. Thank you for being so clever and designing such wonderful pieces.

Awwwww! they all so cute!!!! Love this so much! 😍

I love the little sweaters. Fun to be thinking of the Holidays coming.

Oh these are wonderful. Cannot wait to start knitting them. So excited 🧶🧶

I never enjoyed doing magic loop, but knit with 2 circular needles the Cat Bordhi. You can do this cast on with two circular needles. Just the way I learned to knit socks top down. Beautiful little sweaters.

I have been using magic loop for years and once you get used to it it is a lot of fun. What I also realized was I have developed a Christmas tradition with the both of you! I must say I cannot do a Christmas without seeing the countdown and I just adore it every single year❤️

I love them!

These Jumpers are beautiful. I can't wait to get started. Happy Knitting everyone.

Alright I have my pattern and now I understand the closed cast on. Let the Advent preparations begin!!! Thank you.

I just learned Judy magic loop for toe up socks. Perfect timing. I bought the pattern, now I’m ready to knit those cute little jumper. I’m sure my niece & nephew will love them. Thank you always for great pattern.

Those jumpers are adorable!

I love the jumpers!

This is like the simple double cast on Cat Bordhi used for some of her designs-so simple and smooth.

You guys are so creative. These sweaters are adorable!

I’m so glad I found you guys, I have learned so much from you.

🤗 I love these little sweaters - so cute! Take care.🎄🎅🏼

I found this pattern a bit to late for 2021, but given the fact I am not a very experienced knitter, nor a very fast one, I think I'm just in time to pick up this project for next year. I found this explanation very clear and easy to follow! So thank you again.

Very informative once again you are a great teacher Arne Thank you

Such cute little sweaters.

Just knitting #2. Love the patterns. Soooo cute. Hard to pick a favorite!

I just crocheted a little sweater for a friend. I left it open and it was a cozy for his beer bottle. I may try this in crochet- a great way to dip my toe into colourwork this way!

Those little sweaters are so cute! Thank you for showing the closed cast on. It helped me understand how magic loop works too as I am also a double point person.

😂 just followed the cast on technique on very very slow speed, perfect although I couldn’t help a giggle at how you both sounded like you had hit the bottle 😂😂😂👏👏

The little sweaters are beautiful thank you for the magic cast on I've been knitting a long long time and never used it but Arne made it look easy I've learned something new xx

I am all in with this advent jumper knit. Can’t wait to cast on. Thank you for sharing your inspiration 🧶

I love this idea - beautiful! You two are amazing - and I love all your Christmas season videos!

Really adorable ❤️

How FUN! I had to purchase the Advent of Sweaters! I can't wait to get started. I am not familiar with the magic loop, I watched you but probably will end up watching you a gazillion times to get it right. Thank you both for always, always sharing joy. I love you two!

Great tutorial. Love the jumpers. 🇬🇧

Great jumpers love the colours great video.

Those little sweaters are so cute! I can imagine all sorts of goodies in them. They could also be ornaments. 😀

These are so adorable! I bought the pattern this morning and I'm planning to make 3 sets. One for each of my 3 granddaughters to have as a family tradition and keep sake😅 thank you so much

Wish I could knit, these are adorable

I just bought this pattern today, you guys have a wonderful skill , i am new in knitting, i have a wish to knit these beautiful sweaters. Thanks

Those little sweaters are so beautifully cute 😍The patterns are on my table let’s start and have fun! Thank you Arne and Carlos it’s such a good idea !

I am currently knitting my first colourwork project - the Finnmark Cowl. I am loving it so thank you for inspiring me!

I love this pattern. Thank you so much for making this fun advent calendar. I have never knitted a sweater from bottom up I was wondering if you have video on sewing the sleeves on. Thanks

I’m excited to get started. Thanks.❤️

Love these! You could keep them open and put them in a nice bottle of beer, cider or maybe wine as a gift. ♥️

Wunderschöne Arbeit und Design. 👍👍👍👍 Herzlichen Dank 🌻

So cute!!! What a talented pair you are!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I also use double pointed needles…my grandmother taught me when I was 6……a treasured memory

I have my pattern. They really are very cute!! Can't wait to get started.

I LOVE this project!! The little sweaters are so sweet. Maybe one day I will learn to knit?? In the meanwhile I will continue to watch and enjoy you two. I'm looking forward to the Christmas count down too! Christmas is my favorite time of year. Thank you for sharing!!

I bought your pattern this morning and I’m half way up the body of no.1, thank you I’m having such fun making it! I plan to use them as a community advent calendar, hanging them up day by day as a surprise for my neighbours and community.

Beautiful idea… great looking little sweaters. You two are always fun. 🥰

I love the Addi crazy trio for stuff like that. Or I love them in generall vor everything that is usually done on thinner dpns.

Yay magic loop..love it..these are super cute..thx a million guys..👍❣🧶

You two have been so busy this summer! I think the elves must have arrived early to help you with knitting these adorable jumpers - how else could you have gotten them all done between the fireplace project and the Setesdal trip and video production?

Just love the little sweaters! You made the closed cast-look so easy. Can’t wait to try it with the Rowan Norwegian Wool designed by our own Arne and Carlos! The colors are scrumptious!

This will be my Advent Calendar for this year! I've already bought the pattern! ❤️💚

Finally figured it out after trying and starting over many times. I used the magic loop over the dpns. Waiting for the tutorial on how to attach the sleeves! Thanks.

These are so cute! I may have a go at them😊

These little sweaters are so cute. Thank you! And Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!!

Thankyou Arne and Carlos, these little sweaters are beautiful! This will be my first venture into colour work since my daughter was little - she’s 39!! Wish me luck! ❤️

Very cute sweaters!

Thank you for the early release of the Advent Calendar. The Tutorial was a good review of the closed cast on

Those little jumpers are darling. But I cannot start another project. Can't. I am trying to finish a small Christmas table cloth, stamped cross stitch embroidery, yes, to have finished by this year 😋 that I picked up as a kit at a yard sale this summer. I have finished so many UFO's this year I have amazed myself. I looked at your Rowan yarn. Lovely. I have to order after I look at your pattern book. Between you two and Kate/last homely house I have been inspired to accomplish more. So less reading more doing.

Hi Arne and Carlos...I am so happy...the little sweaters are so cute! By the way I would love to see a crochet thing for the next calendar. Thank you for doing these amazing stuff 😍!

You have made this simple to understand and taken away the demons I had lurking around magic loop and especially around closed cast on (Judi's Magic Cast On). Thanks so much for the lesson. Ha det bra!

Exquisite. Thank you.

I LOVE THE SWEATERS ❣️ Thanks and greetings, Lily 🌸

Loved the Setestal series, I hope you can do more series that highlight artisans in other places too, once Covid is behind us. It is fascinating to learn about other cultures through art. The Advent sweaters are adorable, thank you for getting them out early! I am getting a lot of my Christmas knitting done now, will see how it goes!

ah, judy's magic cast on! i learned this just earlier today when i started knitting the beautiful maude tee from petiteknit. i love the seamlessness it gives, very pretty!

These small sweater are such a good idea, they could also be swatches for different color projects. Thanks !

These sweaters are so cute! I've already got the pattern and I hope to complete a few of them in between the other things I'm working on. Thank you!
