Same here 😩mine was a little stiff I use the same yarn brand

I can’t wait to make one of these

Rebecca Stacey how many skeins did it take you to do the second group sizes?

Hi Deborah. Yes, you could size this down for a child. You'll need to start with an odd number of stitches, making your panel twice as wide as you want the cardigan length to be from shoulder to hem. Then, work the rows of the pattern until your piece is more than 1/4 the chest measurement when measured from the foundation edge to the top of the last row. I hope this helps!

I also want to make this for children. My 9 year old grandaughter asked for one and I'm sure her four sisters will want one too. Problem is she doesn't live near me so I can't measure her and I don't know if they will understand where I'm asking them to measure

Hi Ruth. If you aren't able to measure the recipients, you could just ask them for their clothing sizes. Then, you could go by the Craft Yarn Council's standard body measurements for each size. www.craftyarncouncil.com/standards/child-youth-sizes Keep in mind that those are body measurements, not measurements for the finished garments, so I would recommend making the finished chest measurement of the cardigan a bit larger than the measurements given. You could take the chest measurement in the size chart, add at least 6 inches, and divide the total by 4. This would give you the finished height (from foundation edge to top row) to work for each panel. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions. :)

I would try to either find two skiens that have the same color at the start of them and use one for each panel, or use only one skien that has the same color at both ends (check the tail on the outside, and the tail on the inside while you’re at the store to see if they start with the same color). The only other way I can think of would be to use a ball winder and wind up approx half the skien, attempting to split the skien at the middle of a color transition. Then, use the ends you cut apart as your starting tails. Use the winder to wind up each half into two, equal-sized skiens to work from. I’m sure you can cut out a color transition when you’re finished with the first panel to make sure you start on the same color, but that would waste a bunch of yarn. Hope this helps. I’m super curious to find out how she did it!

Hi Robin! I actually did not try to make the color change match at the seam. It just so happened that one panel in Size 1 used up about 1 color repeat in this yarn. If you want to make sure the colors match, the suggestions offered by Aurora Alchemy in the previous reply are good methods. Hope this helps!

Yay For Yarn Great idea! Thanks to both of you ☺️

If you wanted to make this cardigan with #1 Superfine yarn and a different hook size, I would not recommend attempting to change the pattern unless you feel comfortable altering patterns on your own. The hook size you use would depend on which size gave you the drape and feel you want in the fabric with your own personal crochet gauge. You would also need to recalculate the stitch counts and row counts based on your gauge with that hook and yarn to make the pattern work with that yarn. I hope this helps!

​@@YayForYarn please can you tell me the multiple of it so i can adjust it to my gauge

Your stitch count needs to be an odd number, so the multiple is 2+1.

@@YayForYarn thank you sooo much 🥰

I am a not so confident advanced beginner with the same question about using a fingering weight yarn . Can you tell me how your project turned out? What adjustments did you make?

If you feel comfortable altering patterns to be worked at a different gauge, then yes, it could be done with a smaller hook size. I hope this helps!

Hi Tess! All of the measurements for all sizes of this project are included in the free written pattern. Please see the link in the description box for the free written pattern. Thanks!

Hi Diane! If you'd like to adjust the length, just start with an odd number of stitches that gives you the length you want. I hope this helps!

Hi Marci! Either side of the work could be used as the right side. As for sewing the seam, it's just a whip stitch, so it doesn't matter whether you stitch from the right side or the wrong side of the panels. I stitched my seams from the right side. Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Hi! The amount of yarn required for each size is included in the free written pattern, which you can view by visiting the first link in the video description. I hope this helps!

@@YayForYarn thanks!

Hi. To adjust the length, you'll need to use an odd number of stitches for your total stitch count. I hope this helps!

Hi Sheryl! All of the stitch counts and instructions for the other sizes not shown in the video are available in the free written pattern. You will find the free pattern by clicking the link in the description box. Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions!

All of the stitch counts and information needed to make all 9 sizes are given in the written pattern. You can view the free version of the written pattern by visiting the first link in the video description. I hope this helps!

Hi Mary! Just decide how long you want the cardigan to be from shoulder to hem, and double that measurement. That is how long you want each panel to be. The stitch pattern requires an odd number of stitches. So you'll need to choose an odd number of stitches that will give you the length you want for your total stitch count. You can then make the row of foundation double crochet with that number of stitches, and follow the pattern as normal to finish each panel. I hope this helps!

Hi Lisa! Yes, there is a free version of this pattern. The paid version is the printable PDF, which can be purchased with PayPal via Ravelry. The free version of the written pattern is available to view on my blog. The link to the free version is the first link in the description box. Hope this helps!

Hi Joan! Yes, you could make a ruana from this pattern. Just add more rows to each panel (to make them wider), and don't sew up the side seams. I hope this helps!

Hi Marcia. Are you referring to joining the panels with something that looks like the eyelet row so the stitch pattern flows across the back seam? You could do that if you prefer. I think it would look best to work a partial row of eyelets along the foundation edge of one of the panels before seaming. Hope this helps!

Hi! This would depend on the fiber content. In this case, I used acrylic, which is machine washable. So I could just wash it, without having to block again. If it were made of something like wool, which is not machine washable, you would need to hand wash and lay it out flat to dry. Wool can get stretched out of shape when wet. There are different ways to block different types of fibers, so if you're looking for more info on blocking, see my video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9OKadt6ttmbaZ8.html I hope this helps!

Hi! Yes, you can use wet blocking if you prefer. I hope this helps!

Yay For Yarn thanks for your response.
