woman, i could hug you. I'm at the very beginning of my knitting journey, and though I can crochet, knitting has been a little challenging. I have watched at least 4 other videos of this raglan and had NO CLUE what was going on. You made this SO easy to understand. I know i can do this now without confusion. AND another hug for doing a smaller version so it sinks in and chunky yarn so we can see your stitches. I watched the entire video glued to the screen. No yawns here. You're a fantastic teacher! Your pace and vocal instruction are right on the money, even for a beginner. Subscribed! Added to my list, and even bookmarked. Even jumped on your website and signed up for the newsletter. I don't see a need to watch any other channel. THANK YOU!

I used Staci's "Learn to Knit a Woman's Sweater" pattern and how-to videos to knit my very first sweater ... about two years ago. It's on her website. I can't recommend her tutorials highly enough.

I was worried about picking up 24 stitches along the body because I had followed a different pattern from a different company for another baby sweater, and in that sweater the button band drew in. I sent my worries to the pattern developer, and they said to stay with the pattern since my gauge was right. It turned out perfectly. This was a quick and easy knit that will last for many generations of grand kids. So easy to knit. Stay with the pattern. It is done correctly!

Hi, I'm thrilled you made a baby sweater tut! LUV THIS! I'm knitting a baby sweater now, & that underarm area is tricky. My sweater looks loose due to those "backward loop cast on stitches". I hope I can use my 9"Circulars to close the under arm & knit the sleeves. ***I like this pattern, because it uses bulky yarn.

I have spent HOURS online with minimal success searching for a chunky baby cardigan pattern. I visited my LYS and started a similar, but hoodless, cardigan using DK yarn (the label doesn't say DK, but I'm using US 7 needles). NOT BULKY, as they didn't know of such a pattern. 🤦🏼♀️😩 It's a top-down raglan pattern, just like you've demonstrated here. Wish I'd found this video BEFORE I started!!!!!!!!! I didn't understand the pattern instructions for the sleeve -- there was an increase in the first row, then decreasing. ????!!!! So I am knitting one (test) sleeve without any decreasing. I think it will be fine, especially as it's for a baby, and should be easy to put on/take off. So far it looks fine, and I can always tip if it's terrible. (I noticed that this sweater's sleeves do not appear to be shaped either. Although I haven't seen the actual pattern.) Your instructions and filming are spot-on. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀😍

I've just come up with a genius idea that means I never have to use scrap yarn for holding stitches again! You do need 16 in needles or at the very least another cord to do it. Slip the stitches onto the 16 in or chord and then just knit the stitches of the first row that you are knitting onto the double pointed needles, spaced as you fancy!
@verypinkknits8 жыл бұрын
+Al Malmsten - yes, that's why interchangeable needle sets include cord stoppers - so you can use the cords on their own, with the needles removed, as stitch holders. :)

I'm curious about something in the construction. Is there any reason you couldn't use kitchener stitch to finish the hood? Three needle looks easier, but kitchener leaves no seam so there is no bulk to possibly irritate a tiny head. Does three needle give better definition to the hood, or is it completely a personal preference matter?

I was looking for and easy adult sweater with a hood to knit for myself when I saw the picture for this one and I knew I had to have it. Even without a written pattern it's going to be easy after watching this tutorial. Since you already made a kid size sweater, all you have to do is measure your husband's neck and figure out a comfortable size for him. Then check your gauge and adjust your cast on stitch numbers accordingly. Then just knit as you did the smaller size. You might want to make button holes all the way down the length of the sweater instead of just 2 on the top. That's how I'm going to knit mine. Hope that helped.

"St st" is an abbreviation for "stockinette stitch". If you're knitting a flat piece (back and forth, like you said), that is knit one row, purl one row, repeated throughout the piece.
