PLEASE READ THIS COMMENT The way this square yolk is made so its not wide at the neck as to slip down the baby's shoulder or be too gappy at the neck. THE 1st round the corners are shared by the stitches. Even though you are making corners on the VERY FIRST ROUND there is NO INCREASE. YOU will have 50 stitches after round 1. go into each corner with 2 stitches a chain and 2 stitches you WILL be INCREASING BY 16 NOT 8 AS I SAID IN THE VIDEO Only Round 7 will increase by 8
the rows are as follows
row 1 - 50 stitches row 2 - 66st row 3 - 82st row 4 - 98st row 5 - 111st row 6 - 126st row 7 - 135st I do apologies for the mistake.
I want to make this but this comment confuses me and I feel like I can’t do it.
Row 5 should be 114 row 6 130 making 7 138
Thank you for this correction, I have frogged this 3 times before reading the comments and finding this correction, now on and upward, loving this cardigan, can I make this larger for my 23 & 27 year old grandsons
@@gillianabbott760 I agree, that’s what I get. I was getting so confused as it’s an increase of 16 each row except the last is my understanding
@@kkelly3047 exactly. I did it 3 times neither matched hers. When i put up that she was wrong don't think she liked it but if you are earning from subscribers you should get it right
On row 1 you should have 50 stitches then increase 16 stitches each row up to and including row 6 gives the following
Row 2 -66 st
Row3 - 82st
Row 4 - 98st
Row 5 - 114st
Row 6 - 130st
And row 7 is only an increase of 8st giving 138st
I hope this helps others who bare confused by the video
Thank you! 👏
I love watching your tutorials they are always so clear and you take your time to explain the pattern as you go along and you do it very well Thank you 😊
Dear Alison, thank you for this tutorial. I have been wanting to do a baby cardingan, and you explained it so well, I made two cardigans already and they are perfect. I’m doing my third one for my first Grand child arriving in March next year. Can you do a video on how to make easy woolly baby boots and beeny please. Thank you and I love love love your accent ❤
Hi on the second row you do 2 treb ch1 2 treb what do you do on the third row how many in the corner do you do
If you watch the video again I can't remember if it was 1trb 1 chain 1 treb in corners or 2trble 1ch 2treble
I seem to be making a bit of a mess of it I keep getting more stitches and yes it’s 2 treb 1 ch 2 treb how many do you add to the corner on 3 row maybe I’m having a moment I have done this pattern before so I don’t know why number not matching up x
I started making cArdigans about 4 years ago. I just learned top down method this past year or two. I made afghans, hats, scarves, baby blankets, etc. for about 40 years. Then I stopped crocheting for 10 years due to arthritis. NowI crochet all day and my hands are better than ever. The movement seems to help. Anyway, I just wanted to say how making garments opens up a whole new world of crochet!!
thats why i crochet and dont knit it helps my hands keep moving
I'm crocheting since I'm 12 I'm 54 now and still doing it, never made a baby's cardigan before, this is my first time trying it, and I love the way u make them💕🌻
It sure does, and it good for the head space
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel I sent u an ema a while back did u get it it’s Tracy
This deffo not working out for m it’s more circular than square looking
This is such an amazing tutorial! The step-by-step instructions were so clear and easy to follow, and the finished project looks absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent and expertise with us.
Thank you Alison for this video. I've been dying to try a baby cardigan but didn't have the confidence to try. You make it look so easy and I'm looking forward to giving it a go. I love the little baby dress you did too so I look forward to seeing how you did that.
I can't get the same stitch count that you are. It increases sixteen stitches per round not eight. If I do one chain one and one the count is your number but don't know how to do only four increase on last row
Hello Linda, i got the dame problem, how did you solve this ??
Thank you for such a concise and easy to follow video I have been trying to get to grips with making a yoke and I couldn’t get it right, I’ve just started watching this video and you’ve just showed me what I was doing wrong 😊thank you ❤️xx
25.06 approx for going back for second sleeve ❤ this is beautiful cardigan 🤩😁 this tutorial is perfect thank you
HELP! I’m not great at maths, and I’m probably wrong, but after the initial corner row, if you are doing two double crochet, one chain, two double crochet, doesn’t this add up to sixteen not eight.
I’ve tried it exactly how you have done it but my rounds have gone 50, 66, 82 ext.
where am I going wrong with this😂
By the way it looks right, just not adding up 😔
yip your right i do say in the pinned comment i got the math wrong but it still works i just tried to tell the stitch count because people end up asking what each row count is, Just covering all the bases ha ha ha but getting it wrong hahaha I will use my old brain as an excuse im no good at maths either Linda xxx
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel oh thank goodness I’m not going mad 😂 we are good together then gal, and obviously as well as being hopeless with the maths I’m no good at reading the instructions in the drop down thingy either! 😂
I’m so grateful for this pattern, nearly done it just sleeves to go and this will be my first ever crochet garment! I’ve been crocheting and knitting for years, always crochet blankets and knitted garments but you made this look so easy it encouraged me to try. So thank you so much. 💜
Hi Alison I’d love to add a hood to this what is the right way to make one? 😊 thank you
i would go around the collar pick up stitches and work in rows until you think its big enough then simply sew the edge together if you know what I mean.
Thank you for this. I just made all the granny squares for a baby blanket that I will be sending to a friend in Sweden. I was looking for an easy to do cardigan to go with it and this one seems easy enough. I am in the US and am left handed. I plan to sit and write out all the instructions you gave in the video so I can work on this even if i dont have my laptop or phone handy. I have never made an article of clothing so this will be a new challenge.
Thank you Aleson YOUR very good ❤
Hi was wondering if you had a link for the dress and romper please and thank you in advance love your video
Thank you Alison, my friend has been asking me to make some baby clothes for a charity she is involved with but I don’t enjoy working on such small items tbh but I’m definitely going to have a go at your cardigans. I think young mums will love the cardigans as they are modern & a little different from the usual baby knits available.
I do It to charity. Thanks you for the idea!!!! Could you make shoes too? Thanks from Brazil!!!
Love this from South Africa
Do you have tutorial for matching pants?
no sorry
Thank you so much Alison. I have done one and starting another. I have watch all and written it out including your important well made points. You are a brilliant tutor. I have never made a garment before.
Absolutely beautiful Alison!! I love the baby cardigan easy one too thank you 😊 ❤️
Hi Alison,
I tried your pattern.it came so beautiful. Thank you.your teaching is so simple to follow.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you Allison I have been looking out for this .
How much yarn do you need please?
i used 100g
I just followed this tutorial and made the lovely cardigan. My first one ever.
THANK YOU!!!!
Could you maybe do a tutorial on baby booties to match pleaseeee? 🙏🏻 xxx
Brilliant ❤️glad your feeling better i also just had covid Yuk Can you show us a pattern for the white bobble cardigan please. Congratulation. im getting ready for my first great granchild lol ❤️
Oh thank you! I’ve been waiting for this 🥰
Love your accent..and clear instructions 👍❤️
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve only been crocheting 2.5 weeks and I’m so pleased with how mine has turned out. Your voice is so calming I could listen to you all day. I’m from Aberdeenshire x
❤thank you for this video. I love how you explained everything, and how you repeat the steps
Got confused with the sleeves, after which round do we have to reduce the stitches?
Soo much easier than the ones I've tried to do before , you really make it do able, and not over complicated, thanks a lot can't wait to see more variations 😁😊
You're very welcome!
Awesome 👍🏾 thank you 🌻
I just finished my first attempt at the cardigan. It was tricky for me because I am left handed but I think it turned out rather well. I plan to do another one but will keep the video running for it. I watched the video and took notes but I think Ineed to use the video too. :D
Great job!
I got completely lost around minute 23:27. Where exactly are we going around? Do we still do the corners the same way?
Yes corners are all the same
My counts only come out with 50 in the first row and 90 in the 6th if I only do a dc(tc), ch1, dc(tc) in each corner.
you only do that in the last row the other rows is UK 2trb 1 chain 2trb
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel but in your video you tell us the stitch count and the only way we can make that stitch count work is by only doing 1 inc in each corner? Which is right. I’ve started and am now stuck on round 6 due to this confusion. Don’t want to frog if there is an error
Hello Alison, I am slightly confused and a beginner. Do I just do two trebles one chain two trebles in each of the six rows please. Jen
If I remember correctly I did 1 stitch 1 chain 1 stitch you can do 2 it will make a bigger size
The maths is definitely wrong at 12.58. You’re increasing by 16 stitches not 8 in rows 1-6. This is extremely confusing and needs to be clarified to stop people frogging due to thinking they’ve made an error when in fact it isn’t it’s a mistake in the explanation. It’s a shame as it’s an otherwise useful tutorial but is causing so much confusion
it is in the pinned comment its been there the whole time the video has been up. i made a mistake in the video when i said the wrong increase amount human error but i corrected it in a pinned comment as soon as i realized i didn't say 16 unfortunately people dont always read the pinned comments. i will edit the comment so tit reflects the verbal mistake
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel I have noticed there is still a mistake in the numbers in that pinned comment also unfortunately, which is still causing some confusion. Hence I’ve commented a couple of times. I have found your tutorial extremely helpful and totally understand mistakes can be made. I am not criticising just trying to help others who are also having the same issues I (and others) have had. I am very grateful for your support and time making these videos as without them I would never have made my 1st cardigan. I’m now ever so slightly obsessed and love making them
I just finished my 3rd cardigan using your video. It was so easy to follow, and mine came out so lovely. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I just finish my first baby cardigan!! Thank you so much, Alison, for your help! I'm doing this to help premature babies at the hospital!! 😍💕💙
many many thanks for you vdo,,,,,i am fom Bangladesh mame❤❤❤❤
You are most welcome
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I'm not good at reading patterns. Your descriptions and tips are great. Thank you
Glad you like them!
don't know what im doing wrong 48 ch start in Fourth from hook then 7 then 11 then 14 then11 then 6 doesn't add up a always have 3 left when i need 6
I am having one extra at the end. I was so happy to find easy tutorial but will need to choose something different
If you turn after the slip stitch on the sleeve you will make the sleeve pattern match the body pattern x
Will do that with next one.
Thankyou so much, you are such a insertion, Im half way through.xxxx
You are so welcome
I love your explanations, and the you encourage the knitters to think by themselves, good for you!!!
You are a fabulous teacher! Where can I find more things to crochet with you
On my channel there are 100's videos
Thank you. I can't wait to try this. I have a great grand daughter coming in October.
Wonderful!
Could you do some adult versions please that would be fantastic x
Im working on it Jo
Thank for this video!
I was able to make my first baby cardigan with your video.
I found your instructions easy to follow even if i did have to replay parts till i got the hang of it.
I'm looking forward tobgoign through your other videos and seeing what else I can make.
Hi Alison, it appears to be that each one of us is coming up with the same stitch count of over 100 by the end of Row 6. I'm going by what @MoTheCat3 mentioned.
Hi Alison, this is just an amazing tutorial. I love following you. I have a question re sizes. Each cardigan I gave done has been a different size. I don’t know what I’m doing. I’ve tried a 3.5 size hook for a new born baby. It’s now ready to fit a one year old. Is it the yarn or is it me ? Can I cut down on stitches to make it smaller? Thanks so much.
I am so confused over row counts do i use 4 in each corner or 2 someone please tell me
2 stitches do the chain then 2 more stitches all in same corner stitch
Giving you an increase of 16 stitches for each round
Va rog sa subtitrări și in limba romana
The sound quality is very good 👍🏻 well done
Thank you Zak Xxx

Hi Allison thank you for the video it's the only way i can crochet i have done a few of you're patterns thanks again 🎉
Thankyou so very much Alison. I just finished this baby cardigan and it turned out beautiful in spite of the difficulty in stitch counting in making the yoke. Appreciate your simple and detailed instructions specially for the corners.
Just made my first crochet cardigan thanks to you. Thank you SO much. I especially like the attention to detail. And the edging is great (I think I’ll use it instead of crab stitch in the future). ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. Love the pattern.
Do you have a pattern with a hoodie on it?
Yes iv just uploaded a hexagon cardigan / jacket tgen I added a hood look on my channel for both videos
Hi Alison, I'm having my first baby in June 2024 and cant wait to make some of these lovely cardys for my little one! Thanks for the brilliant video. All the best! R x
This fabulous thanks, new to this. Can i just check what type of yarn and hook size please. I can't see that mentioned. Apologies if i have missed it
I would love the pattern for the baby romper using the square neck cardigan pattern
Very nice tutorial i want to make for 6 to 12 month child for that same stich 48 or more than that please let me know
hi loved the video but you put 4 trebles in each corner so that would make 16 not 8 but worked it out in the end
I would really like to make the little blue and white romper. Could you give information to make one. I made the cardigan and loved it. Thought the romper would make a cute set. For a baby boy.
Sorry Thank You, You are showing right handed. I didn’t realise until after my first comment.
I must say this was a delightful tutorial 😊 while I was crocheting I was listening to the dialogue of a romance movie filmed in Ireland. Your accent sounds so similar, soothing and familiar. Thanks for sharing your talent I will be sure to subscribe and try more of your tutorials.
Hello Alison, just want to thank you first. This is my first sweater and my only concern is that the alignment in the front does not line ip
Have You got one for Right handed or do You learn how to do this with Your left hand. I can understand what You are doing, just wondering as I am right handed. Thank You. You are Fabulous.
I followed the video and have crocheted a beautiful piece!! Thankyou ❤
Hi Allison , have just finished the cardigan , love the edging , also like how you did the sleeve , I made one before this one , and on each round of the sleeve you had to turn your work , I wasnt happy with the seam , but had no problem with your sleeves .Thanks again .
Alison thank you so much, I love this pattern ❤
I’m am well pleased to be learning with you today and I’m very excited to see more, you are appreciated by me always. 😇🙌💕

Following this tutorial. Wondering if there is a written version. I like to try to read and understand written patterns too
Hi there… this is gorgeous.. is there any chance you have a written version?!
THANK YOU SO MUCH.. BUSY WITH BABY CLOTHES... GOD BLESS YOU. 💐❤️🙏
Please can you redo the video .im sick of trying now.
Thanks Alison. I'm very new to crocheting and with my first grandson coming along, I'm excited to move on from scarves, hats, and granny square blankets. This pattern, with your excellent and clear instructions will move me up a notch or two. Getting started right away!!!
I’ve been sent here by Janet Nash . TFS your video 🤗🤗
OMG 😳 this is the most beautiful and understand tutorial ever!!! Thank you so much 😂
Hey Alison love the cardigan it looks easy so I’ll give it a try! Thank you
I've just come to the end of my first trimester and can finally crochet some clothes for my baby due November! Thank you so much for this super easy tutorial! 💞💞
Would love to see more baby items please ... Many Thanks xx
I've watched your video and found making this cardigan so simple and easy thank you for posting this 🙂
Very nice I made one no trouble thank you very much x
Hi can you make it smaller for premature babies?
Dear Alison, I tried your project right away as I have been wanting a simple but nice pattern. However, I found I did not get the same stitch count each round if I did 2 dbl, ch1, 2 dbl, in the corners. I kept coming up 16 stiches over instead of 8. So I went back to round 2 and just did 1dbl, ch1, 1dbl and then my count matched. Now I am stuck on round 7 trying to figure out how to only have 94 total stitches.
I found the same, so fudged it
Mo it only increases by 8 stitches from the 2nd row even though you do 2 one chain and 2 into the corners. Because you use the same chain space to make the 1st set of corners. you should have 50 stitches after the 1st row then 58 and so on. (It might be easier to say do 6 trebles then make a corner in the next stitch, then 10 trebles then a corner) but you still have 50 stitches because the very 1st round each corner is counted as part of the line. Try it again as in the video for your 1st round count your stitches it should be 50, then do your 2nd round with the 2 one chain and 2 in each corner count your stitches and it will be 58 stitches on the 2nd round, 3rd row will be 66 4th will be 74 5th will be 82 6th will be 90 THEN do row 7 which is only 1 stitch 1 chain 1 stitch in each corner. Doing it this way keeps the square neck from being to wide around the baby's neck and wont slip of their shoulders.
I agree, I’ve found it’s increasing by 16 the way I’m working it. I don’t get how she’s coming up with her stitch count. I have Row 1 50
Row 2 66
Row 3 82
Row 4 98
Row 5 114 and row 6 130. Don’t want to frog my hard work 🥹
I’ve had the same problem. I actually froze the screen and counted the stitches and each side increases by4 not 2???
@@charliepercy2923 I’ve now completed 2 of these and both get the same stitch count and increase of 16 not 8 following the instructions given. I’m sticking with my figures as detailed above from now on to complete more as I know it works.
So cute. We’re you going to do a 1 to 2 year old cardigan?
