This was very very informative. I aspire to learn to make my own sweaters but it dawns on me finally that i am woefully lacking about HOW exactly that these garments are constructed. So I have been trying to remediate myself about types of yarns methods of construction, etc. Your sweaters are amazing btw!
if you don't want your increases to spiral, then put the stitch-marker one stitch after the stitch you would normally put it on the row that you are not increasing :D This way you can do cables that run straight down from the neck without them eventually running into your increases!
How do we know if we should increase every row or every other row? Say you use double crochet a the project grows further do you do less or more increase rows?
Good question! When doing single crochet it should be every other row, double crochet it should be every row, but you will need about half as many rows of double crochet to make the same amount of fabric as single crochet.
I am loving that argyle sweater you’re wearing!! Is it crocheting or knit? I really love argyle and there aren’t many patterns out there! Do you have a pattern for it? Oh thank goodness you’re doing crochet!! There are actually more crocheters in the world right now, but it seems like there are more knit patterns! Maybe it’s just me.😜
Benjamin Krudwig I would love one! Maybe a little less complicated. It can be for a male or unisex, it doesn’t matter. I’ve only seen a purse with a small argyle pattern, but never a sweater. If you can make one or point me in the direction of one that would be great! Thanks.
this seriese video is very nice. i wish you explained a bit slowly and added cm of measures bcz some ppls first language isn't english and think in cm, not in inch. thnx.
Hello- I just love your lesson videos. Quick question just to confirm- you continue your increase rows until you get to the total # of body (chest+arm) stitches for your measurement? So in your case, you stopped at 154 total stitches? Thanks
hello there!!! first i have to say that you are incredible!! i have one question... should i stop increasing for the sleeves??? i begin with 26-6-26-6 for the neck and the body must be 61-12-61-12..... if i increasing both i ll pass the 12 for sleeves...
??? Does anyone know what a raglan sleeve is ?? Didn't think so and definitely not the guy demonstrating one ? Named after Lord Raglan who lost an arm and wanted less material obstructing his sword pulling ability. Hence the raglan sleeve is very narrow at the neckline and forms a wide v shape to accommodate the arm like the trucks shirt in his 1st lesson
Thank you for the feedback and history lesson! However this crochet sweater technique is indeed called a raglan increase based on the location of the increase.
@@BenjaminKrudwig I see you increase before and after your markers but you don’t have a marker diving the front? How does it work to increase the sleeves and back but not the front or am I missing something in the video where you also increase the front? 😬

You're welcome!
Hi Benjamin 😊 you tube has been hiding you from me. Very nice work😀. Glad I found you this morning.

Hey! this was a knit argyle sweater that I think I was bought at target. (It was a gift) Are you looking for an argyle pattern for crochet? :)

exactly!
Bejamin, can I use the same method for dc and other stitches?

Continue increasing for the sleeves until you reach your measurements.
I'm having the same issue 😔

Do I increase in the back as well?
Yes you do :)
