hello friends!! a few of you have already commented this, but I did want to clear up my misused of the word "crochet" in this video: the motion I was doing was actually "hand knitting" - as you can tell, I'm still a noob at all this but thank you everyone for correcting me!! 🙈💗

"I don't know who's buying yarn at this time" me, a knitter: *slowly hiding my three hampers of yarn in the closet*

@sarahpan DO NOT WASH IT!!! I'm sorry to bring you the bad news when you did such a good job, but you didn't use yarn, you used roving, thats the stuff that gets turned into yarn. Unfortunately this cardigan isn't going to hold together for a long time and it's going to pick up a lot of stuff. Importantly if you wash it you will felt it, it will turn into a solid, stiff piece and will also shrink a little. Maybe think of this as a practice run if you really love it or as a photography piece if you don't want to remake it. Keep it inside a protective bag when storing.

As a very experienced knitter, I give you high fives for your ingenuity, problem solving and creativity! If you can figure out how to make a garment having never knitted in your life and just using your hands, you would pick up knitting with needles with no problems! Great job!

Hi! Just FYI you need to be very careful with this sweater. The yarn you are using is basically roving (unspun yarn). Hand wash in cold water. Don't wring it out. Lay flat to dry. If you snag on something be very careful. Don't pull. You'll break the yarn. You did a good job. Just be careful with this sweater. If you are it will last a long time.

I doubt the yarn will hold up over time, theres and yours, because the yarn doesnt have any structure, yarn like that, which is basically just the hair itself, will break down and fall apart. Those chunky knit blankets and sweaters end up being way to expensive to make with not much pay off. At least they are cute tho!!

omg it turned out so good though!!!

Hi Sarah, you did a really good description of the process, and I hope the viewers who are also new to yarn crafting took note of all the things you learnt along the way. Making things from yarn can be very pleasurable and you dived right in, and hopefully if you do any more you will use the experience gained from this piece eg, use yarn as opposed to roving, measure yourself to get a better idea of what size you need to make, have an idea of the way the pieces fit round you, and use a yarn type that you find comfortable on your skin, and something that you find pleasurable to work with long enough to complete a piece. The stitches you made were very even which is part of the charm of a well made piece, and you have a good eye for colour (liked the way the sweater toned with your hair!) The need to have something immediately is something crafters have to overcome as the key to making something yourself is delayed gratification (!) but the payoff is you will end up with something unique to you and the satisfaction of having made it yourself. Well done for completing your item, not something everyone achieves first time out, hope you will now feel confident enough to tackle other projects. Making stuff is good for the soul, enjoy!

Just a warning to beginners: If you are ever thinking of hand knitting(knitting with your hands instead of using needles) I recommend not doing that because the ending of the product might look well but it won't hold up. It could be a couple uses and it'll fall apart.

Been lookin at multiple tutorials for this and sooo far this is the best, easiest to understand. I love how you show us tha work

Absolutely in love with the results ! I am a compulsive crocheter (I literally crochet with no goal and undo my pieces to reuse the yarn) I guess I'll try to make a chunky cardigan like this when I'll have saved money to buy these chunky yarn (expensive compared to what I earn but still so satisfying !!)

I couldn’t get miras tutorial out of my head for days 😂 this style of sweater is so cute!!

despite it not feeling comfortable lmao it looks amazing on you!!

hiya! just a smol tip: what ur making is more similar to knitting than crochet. knitting will produce those v shaped stitches that you see, whereas crochet stitches are more like knots. nevertheless, the sweater looks great!

Exactly why I’m starting to love Crocheting! You can literally make anything out of yarn that’s like $5 dollars.

Omg you did such a good job, it was so hard to hear your mom was so harsh about how you did it, which made you feel like you had to redo it. Ugh I just wanna give you a hug. You did an incredible job and it made me want to try to knit a big sweater like this cause idk why but crocheting scares me lol

Stuff to know about roving/unspun yarn/the material Sarah used to knit this: -it is hella weak, it’ll break apart super easily -washing it can break your washer -it gets MAD dirty -even gentle animals can tear it up -it gets ruined in the washer/dryer anyways

It looks adorable.You did very well for not having any experience or pattern. Kudos!

Girl,u keep making me wanna do new things and I'm all for it✨✨

i think you did an amazing job! it looks quite well crafted and maybe like... a super good pillow to use on a train ride

Remember practice makes perfect! I'd love to see if you'd revisit this one day and try again. Sweaters are a daunting task but you nailed it!

diy queen back at it again 🤩 i think i found my new project for the holidays and i OOP- AN AD 😱 you go girl!! it was timed so perfectly too

I think i just found a new hobby thanks to you 😍😍 this is so cute

Oooo the color block is really cute!

You did so well. I love knitting and have not tried garment yet. I am working on doing baby garments first cause it is great practice. Anyway if you redo it measure yourself or at least with this box style construction measure from shoulder to shoulder and add about 2-4 inches depending on how oversize you want it. That way when you do front panels you have room for the neck opening. The colors are cute and looks so cute on you. You did awesome and don't be discouraged.☺

This video is so relaxing to watch (especially when ur procrastinating bc uni is stressful af) loved the editing! It actually turned out so cute, it reminds me of icecream 🍦 That juggling attempt in the intro was adorable haha

Please make an updated tutorial based on new tips/tricks. I love this!

it looks amazing sarah

I like it, I am starting one for my granddaughter. Thank you for your time 😍

The color combination in this❤️❤️😘

good job!! came from mira's channel and girl you are so funny I love watching this. for some reason I dread knitting, but you almost made it easy for me lol if not the perfectionist in all of us is stopping me to try this because I already know my knots will be all wonky and I'd probably start over so many times too!! >__< subscribed and can't wait to see more!

That yarn sheds!

Hi you did pretty good for your first sweater don’t give up keep trying!!!!❤️❤️❤️

“Stomach rolls” Girl, where?!

In-store yarn stocks have definitely been a struggle since the pandemic started!! I started crocheting a couple years ago and you can bet I've been doing a lot more since I'm home all the damn time!

Literally so cute! Thanks for the info

it looks SOOO good!!!!

This was such an easy tutorial! Thanks a lot! Can't wait to make mine ;)

I admire your persistence! I avoided that style of yarn, because it was expensive and didn't look like it would hold up. However, good on you for making something you can wear😄

I liked the sweater very much and while your video plays I have been working for 7 hours redoing a blanket sweater. I made it way to big now I'm almost finished. Whew. My eyes are burning. Anyway redo your sweater till it's perfect you won't regret it.

This should have way more views! 💕

Be careful this yarn isn't really yarn and will fall apart easily :(

BAHAHA >:) I love this video so much. It's soooooo sweet to see all these talented women crocheting diy sweaters, and they look even better than these overly priced brand sweaters costing $400+

just discovered ur channel and i love it 🤪

Girl you KILLED IT🤩 This is soooo cute. I wanna try this but knowing myself I prob will take like 2 months instead 😆

Thats so cute 🥺 i'm not sure what kind of yarn you used, but I watched a video where someone knitted a little square with roving wool like those huge blankets you see on Pinterest, and within a week on their couch, the entire square fluffed apart, and got a bunch of stuff stuck in it, and after they washes and dried it, it got all hard and gross, so be careful with your sweater if the yarn pulls apart easily!

lovee thiss 💗💗💗

I feel like another row around the whole front and around back of neck and back down the front will give it more room I’ve done that and it worked for me :) Also it’s really pretty! 💕💕

How does this hold up so far? The "yarn" doesn't seem like it has much structure. In those cases knitted or crochet pieces will end up like trash quite fast. I hope, in this case it does hold up after so many hours of work put in.

Wow obsessed 😍

Dang this turned out really well! Even though you said you made it in 2 days, that still sounds really fast because I don't think I could make this in 2 months lol props to Mira for making it in 3 hours 😩😩 I really liked the colors you picked and wow that power pose at the end 👏 I see that your family is still roasting even though you moved out LOL but I think you did a great job on this!

be extremely careful with it because roving yarn gets ruined very easily

Omg it’s so cute

Looks awesome! I wanna make one now

2 seconds in...I already liked the video :)

ooh wow this is so cool! it looks like knitting but seems easier. lol my hands sweat like crazy with i do those fuzzy furry stitching things. the color coordination that u picked is so pretty. this video is indeed saving u money for the cardigan and earning u some ad sense hhahaa. i love it. so cool to see cool refreshing content

hi! One question, what brand of merino wool did you use to knit the sweater?

I wanna try this now. If a clueless being can do it, so can another clueless being!

I also bought the materials a while back but wasn't so successful. I will try again, thank you for this. ❤️

What crochet stitches do I use if I wanna use a hook? Does anyone know?

I really want to make this But everyone is saying it won't hold up after a while, should I use different type of Yarn of something? Please help :(

Great sweater😍

Where can I find that yarn? I dont know the name ..

Where do I buy that type of yarn????

what is the material of the yarn that you use?

Omg 😱 it looks amazing 🤩 please make a tutorial for a hat

Cute!💗

God I am really considering making a knitting youtube channel to actually provide useful information because there are so many videos like this right now telling people to do things that will result in ugly sweaters that will fall apart and be uncomfortable.

Can you use small yarn tho?

So cute! :)

love it

Can you tell me how much yarn did you use?

gloom has that sweater!!

Beautiful

It looks super cute but watch out I heard that straight up wool shreds really easily!

how many yarns to make this sweater ??

This is actually more of like knitting than crochet hehe but it's cuuute 💕

Omg I need this, about to go to the yarn store NOW, Beep beep lol

I want this!!!😍😭😭

I will probably never be this early for anything for the rest of my life 😂😂😂

Wow congratulations 👏👏👏

But does it even keep together in the washing machine?

Hellloo from turkey .itss look so good. I love it. How many balls of yarn did you use?

You could make a collar to go round the neck. It would sit better on you then and feel more comfortable. You have given me an idea that I can use for the wool I have

It's so pretty but how do you wash it 😧

Which size is the wool?

So cute

Beautiful and color are cool too 😄 ... can't we do this with crochet? As I only know crochet xD

Just stumbled upon this video...You are adorable!

Which yarn is this?

y’all best not be skipping the ads 👏🏽

Just a quick question for anyone who can answer: Is it possible to get rid of the bulky stitching at all? I would like to try this but have it comfortable, so if anyone can tell me how, it would be greatly appreciated!

omg I love this but I would add big buttons at the last like 4 rows and add button holes

It looks so daunting to make cuz it looks tough to make, but it’s so cute 😣

i've never seen the original sweater before lol yours turned out pretty cute tho

Can someone write ✍️ down the name of the yarn pls?

Okay.... awessome

Will you show step by step view of Chonky sweater

This is so cute!! I feel like this would be super hard. Great job!!

Omg you should've done the mattress stitch to connect the pieces! That way you don't have any extra/thicc seems :)
