It's so nice to find a video that is showing how to do a sweater size larger than small! Thank you so much !
Brilliant! I have been searching for v neck knitting all over and found not very clear descriptions. Your's is brilliant! Thank you so much! ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for being literally the only video I could find that actually explained how to knit the v neck
So true.. I have been looking for a good explanation & couldnt find. So I came back to this one which I had knitted 2 years ago. Will knit a different colour😂❤
I really like this yarn for this particular pattern. This sweater is easy with your instructions. I’m going to knit a sweater out of this yarn for me & my Frenchie too, lol. Thank you for a great tutorial!
Yay!! Happy knitting to you! ❤️
Hello I really want to make this sweater but I am having trouble understanding how to calculate the stitch count. I was wondering if you could tell me the stitch counts for a large and a 2xl? I usually understand gauging but I'm having trouble
Thank you so much for sharing,it's easy to follow and well explained, would like to see more tutorial from your channel,lots of ❤️
Looking for a beginner friendly pattern and slouchy sweater...I found this.. Great find. GOD BLESS
Wonderful explanations. I like it. I am just making my first sweater. Do not stop with making videos. Great inspiration to us.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you are enjoying the tutorial! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, I finally found someone explaining how to knit a tight and nice v-neck opening!
Just what I was looking for! I have a V neck pattern I want to make and though it says it’s “easy” the neck part is very confusing. I have some great yarn coming in the mail and about given up until I found this video! I am so looking forward to learning this technique!
All my life i wanted to master this technique of v neck.excellent instructions and demo, really made it easy
Me too, couldn´t figure out how to make the v-neck tight. Funny how hard it seems for people to explain the simplest of v-neck without a border or ribbon (dont know the name for it :) )
@@abjar4630 I think the border/edging you're talking about is called ribbing.
You are an amazing teacher
Thank you!!
This is super helpful. I suggest working a left leaning decrease on the left side (ssk) and a right leaning decrease (k2tog) on the right side. It’s a bit neater.
Very beautiful!! Very Well explained, thank you.
That sweater is gorgeous! Do u have any tutorial of a similar sweater in crochet?
I would love a crochet version too!!
Lindo esse sweater e parabéns pela explicação. Thank you!!! I love it! It s very beautiful.
Thanks for sharing☺️
Please upload a knitting tutorial for round neck sweater
Sounds nice
Thank you for this easy tutorial !!!!!
Love it very detailed explanation ❤
I love this, thank you!!!!
So a couple weeks ago I purchased a velvet knit v- neck sweater form target and it is so beautiful and soft, at first I thought it might be crocheted and I could recreate my own cause I am a crocheter. So after some googling I found your pattern (literally perfect timing) and I realize now that the sweater I bought was knitted not crocheted and your pattern looks IDENTICAL to it. So I am really excited to make this! It’s ambitious of me to make this as my very first knitting project but I am hoping my crochet experience will help a little and I’m determined to get this done! Anyways long story short thank you for this pattern, it’s beautiful!
That's soo funny! A target sweater actually inspired this project for me - it was probably the same sweater!! I wish you luck on your knitting journey, let me know how it goes along the way! If you're on instagram be sure to tag me @justbecraftyblog so I can see your progress!
@@JustBeCrafty this sweater looks lovely! I think I found a new project to start. May I ask how many skeins of yarn you needed?
@@NA-yq4pe Thank you!! Yarn amounts will depend on the size of sweater you're making so you'll want to refer to the written pattern. Links to the written pattern can be found in the description box. Happy knitting!
Nice tutorial! Thank you
Thanks for the tutorial. I have fingering yarn.How do I determine the no.of stitches to cast on and modify the pattern?
for adding Spanish subtitles to the video. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Brittany! Really enjoyed making it!
Yay!! I'm so glad!!
Hi there, thanks for this awesome pattern/tutorial. I was wondering (in theory!) if you could make this jumper longer - could you just increase the length of the body before getting to the neck?
Yes, that would be lovely!!
Thank you for detailed explanation! I watched many videos, but yours is the most detailed video for beginners.
Thanks so much.
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Hermoso, gracias!
I love your work 💞👏👏👏
Thank you so much 😀
Such a helpful video. Please post video of how to make some comfy knitted pants.
Such a good idea! I've not attempted pants but this might have to be added on my to-do list!
@@JustBeCrafty Would be awesome. Because your videos are so helpful and easy to follow. I have only knitted scarves before, this was the first time I knitted a sweater. The written pattern also easy to follow. Would love more videos of sweaters, blankets and beanies 😀
Hi I'm knitting this sweater and your instructions are clear and easy to follow. But when it comes to ssk, i'm struggling. I thought ssk was left leaning and k2tog was right leaning and other you tube videos seem to confirm. was this an error or is there such a thing as an right leaning ssk. I keep taking it out and re-watching your video and it still leans left. Help
It’s possible that there’s an error and that it is supposed to be K2Tog so I would go with your gut.
Beautiful tutorial, please correct me if I'm wrong . The size needles in UK mm are u using 4.5mm and size 5mm thankyou.
Mam pls tell me that how I decrease v neck in open sweater for ladies in velvet wool
how much chains for a size 3x please I am having a hard time LOVE this but I figure it out also its my first time knitting or crocheting clothing?
Blimey T. Bout 145
What are the measurements for your different sizes? (I can’t find it on your website) and I don’t know if my mom’s a XL or a XXL.
Is there a suggestion for a substitute for polyester yarn? I will need to use natural fibers.
I want to ask can you use redheart yarn number 4 to make this sweater
Hi Rose! The yarn in the pattern (Vel-Luxe) is a #4 yarn. You can definitely use a yarn substitution but just note it will be really important to check your gauge (whether you are subbing the yarn or not) to ensure proper fit.
You might need to play around with needle sizes to obtain the right gauge. As long as gauge is met, your sweater should come out the correct size.
But please also note, that the drape and ultimate look of the sweater will change if using a different type of yarn.
Hope this helps! Happy knitting!
Hiiiii thanks so much this looks so great! I was just wondering what other yarns I could use baby velvet yarn?
Bernat baby velvet
Hello, I was wondering how to calculate the different stitch counts for the sizes? I'm making a large but I have no idea how many stitches to cast. Please answer soon if possible.
@@GabriellaCook789 There’s a linked pattern in the description of this video that has written instructions for every size. It includes the amount of stitches needed.
Would like to make this sweater but your free pattern is missing the table of sizes/finished measurements - looks like you have a faulty link since it just shows “[table Id = 1/]”. Comments are closed on your blog so have to post here. Have tried viewing in safari, chrome and google and all are missing that table. Can you fix that link? Thanks
I thought I'd followed the instructions correctly but my sleeves measure 24 inches after finishing the final purl row, I've followed the large size. Will this really make a difference when assembled? 😊
On your link to the pattern it just shows the sizes in inches. But what are the stitching amounts we need?? I have been looking for hours
Ava Galustian ! Did you figure it out?
Yes I also really would love to know
You have to keep scrolling down the page until you get to the first part of the written pattern. Then it’ll say CO and then the number of stitches written in order from XS to the largest size.
Is it possible to do this with straight needles please??
kellyann ward I’m using a straight needle and yes it works perfectly fine
Out of curiosity does double pointed needles work as well?
@@maryb3380 I personally prefer not to use double pointed but there’s a possibility that it would work. It may be difficult tho since there’s no closed end which could cause your stitches to slip off. I would use either circular or straight needles.
Will it make it significant difference if I just use one circular knitting needles?
No that shouldn't matter. Using a smaller needle for the ribbing just makes the ribbing a tad more fitted. As long as you make a swatch and match the gauge listed in the pattern you're good to go!
@@JustBeCrafty I just started my back panel and I did the exact same steps for the ribbing, knit row and purl row, but it turned out much tighter than my front panel. Do you have any tips as to what I should do?
I started making the medium. I went up to a size 9 needle because my I got 14.22 stitches in 4 inches using the size 8 needles. I have completed 55 rows for the front of the sweater and I think it’s going to be too small! Is there anyway I can make it bigger at this point, or do I have to start over?
to avoid the ssk on the right side of work, I do the sl.1 and p2tog. on the wrong side of work.
I hate the ssk.
Hi! Emmm.. i have a silly question. I want to make this sweater for my husband so it fits him and not slouchy. He is size M as per chart in inches. Also i wish to make it with 10ply yarn that goes with 5mm knitting needle. Will this work?? I cant think and imagine. Thanks!
um.. could someone help clarify for me how much yarn is needed cause i couldn't really understand the [3(4, 4, 5, 5, 6 ,7)] part...
I believe that for an extra small you need 3 balls, small-medium 4 balls, L-XL 5, 2XL 6 balls, and 3XL 7 balls. I hope this helps!!
Me too! Haha so confused 🤣
Do you have a tutorial for a rounded neck sweater?
Hay, this is my first time for knitting.
You wrote that the size of the needle is US 7 and US 8, but I don't have US 7. What if I use US 8 and US 9? Is that okay? Is there something I need to know if I change the needle size? Thank you 😊
You should use the recommended needles that go with your yarn. Typically if you knit with needles that are too small the stitches will be too tight for the yarn weight, whereas; knitting on needles too large could cause your work to have an uneven tension and holes here and there.
Thank you. I'm in the process of knitting this also. Is there a certain app you use to make your videos? I'd like to start some crochet and knitting tutorials.
I film using my smart phone and edit everything in iMovie :).
How can I get or buy full instructions for this sweater and patterns for other sweaters also the teenagers .
Can I do this with straight needles?
This could probably be done with straight needles since it isn’t worked in the round, some people prefer to use circular needles because you get more length to work with.
Do I must use long tailed cast on? Or can I change it another cast on method?
Feel free to use your preferred cast on method ❤️
@@JustBeCrafty alright. Thanks for the reply ✨
I'm having trouble understanding the gauge, what are the stitch counts for a large and a 2xl?
What size in millimeters are the knitting needles please UK size ?
Do you have to use velvet yarn or not
I do not have pattern and only decreased first row. How mi going to fecrease the folowing rows up to the top?
Hi Hugo. As mentioned in the videos, you'll need to refer to the written pattern as you work along with the video tutorial. You can view the pattern for free on my blog it's broken up into 3 parts - *Front and Back Panels*, *Sleeves*, and *Assembly*, or a printable PDF version of the pattern can be purchased in my shop. You can find these links in the video's description.
Because we are all multiple sizes, this pattern is written in multiple sizes, and each size will have different stitch counts and different row counts, so it is impossible to complete the pattern from the video alone. You'll need to reference the written pattern for stitch counts and row counts as well as other pattern specifics. The video is intended to be a visual companion to the written pattern.
I hope this helps. Happy knitting.
What size knitting needles did you use
She used a 4.5mm and 5mm
What size does this make?
Hi Natalia! The pattern has directions for sizes XS - 3XL. All the information you need regarding yarn amounts and the written pattern can be found at the links listed in the video's description box. You'll need to following along with the pattern as you watch the video as each size will have different stitch counts, row counts, yarn amounts, etc. Happy knitting!
How many stiches do I need for a L size pls?
How many ball of yarn did you use?
How many yarns did you use?
How much of the yarn u used 4 the XL sweater?
Please make a velvet sweater with round neck
If you are making a round neck you would skip the V neck portion and make your front and back panels exactly the same. The only difference would be that when you get to the last few rows of your front panel you’ll need to cast off however many stitches you find to be comfortable for around your neck in the middle of the work. For example if you had 54 stitches and you found that having 18 stitches is the perfect amount for your neck opening you would start the row by knitting 18, cast off the next 18 stitches as though you were finishing the piece, and then knit the last 18. Then you would continue knitting the left and right sides until it is the same as your back panel.
How can i get the free pattern it want open up
What size sweater did you make on the video?plz let me know 🙏🙏
Size large

Can you help me making this with #4 weight yarn?
The yarn she used is also #4 weight.
Could you tell me how much GRAMS of wool needed to knitt this sweater?
Approximately 450 g
what does the numbers on your website pattern when it says Mark center stitch with a stitch marker; 26 (30, 33, 36, 40, 43, 46) is it inches rows or stitches?
Hello there! The numbers listed in this instance is the stitch you'll want to mark as the center stitch for your size respectively: xs (s, m, l, xl, 2xl, 3xl).
@@JustBeCrafty thanks!
How much yarn is needed for this sweater size with this wool type.. can anyone tell..
It tells you in the description.
Thank you!i have a question tho? How do you adjust the pattern for thicker yarns? Im sort of making it up as i go along but that doesnt really look as good. Do you have any advice on gauge adjustment?
Hi Kristen! Using a thicker yarn for this project will alter the size of the garment, and ultimately give you a sweater size much larger than the size measurements listed in the pattern (for your particular size).
Changing this would alter stitch and row counts in the pattern and requires calculations. Unless you're able to match the gauge listed in the pattern, the sizing will be off. For an easy adjustment, you could try sizing down a size or two, and that might work - so if you're a Medium, maybe try working a Small or X-Small. But unfortunately without making the sweater myself with a different gauge, I can't guarantee a good fit.
@@JustBeCrafty thank you for your answer!i will keep this in mind! Ive also tried using a store bought sweater as a reference for measurements and accounting for how many stitches to an inch. Its helping as a stsrting place so i can better figure it out. I love your pattern!
kristen yarbrough
That’s exactly how you’ll get a decent size!
kristen yarbrough
There are a lot of chunky yarn sweater designs on UA-cam! I would just go by a swatch!
@@kristenyarbrough4287 hi Kristen.. Just wanted to know how did it go for you?
How many balls of yarns did you use? Thank you
Yarn amounts will be determined by the size sweater you're making. You can find this information in the written pattern here: justbcrafty.com/2019/08/the-velvet-slouchy-v-neck-knit-sweater-part-1-front-and-back-panels.html
Is this 4.5 mm us 7? Or 7mm needles?
it's 4.5mm
Hi!! I loooved this pattern and i want to make it but i noticed there is a mistake in the links provided on the description box regarding the circular knitting needles, when i press it, it takes me to the stitch markers. Which brand of needles are u using here? Are this boye?
Thank you for catching that! I have updated the link. Yes, my needles are boye. I suggest the interchangeable set only because if your gauge is slightly different than mine, you can easily adjust by going up or down a needle size rather than running to the store.
I ended up using my individual needles only because my interchangeable set was being occupied at the moment, lol. But you should grab whatever works best for you!
Hello can you make a video but not in circular needles?
The pattern would be exactly the same but on straight needles. You’d still turn after every row and you’d have to make sure that your needles are long enough for the stitches required.
I'm Vietnamese I don't know your language, could you give me this shirt chart?
How long did this take to make??
hmm... its hard to say! But I'm thinking in the 20-25 hour ballpark. Thats a really great question. I need to time myself because I know that is super helpful info to know when looking for a new project!
How much yarn do we need??
Yarn amounts will depend on the size of sweater you're making so you'll want to refer to the written pattern. Links to the written pattern can be found in the description box. Happy knitting!
I finished this panel and was confused as to why it was so big and realized I used 8mm needles instead of us 8 and I’m extremely annoyed with myself 😂 I’m gonna finish it but still
Noooo 😭😭😭 but it is supposed to be oversized!
Thanks for sharing! Do you have v neck cardi top down(not raglan) and short kimono sleeve wrap top version??
Not yet, this is my first knitted garment. I am planning to make more, so please stay tuned!!

This is front side but no body teach us how to knit back side and connect each other in Vneck.
There are links to the other videos for the back and the sleeves in the description of this video.
Can this pattern also works with normal needles ?
Αννα Κλουκινιωτη if they’re long enough.
@@AnitaStellium in what kind of size?
I am so annoyed by these videos all including this kind of needles! why tho?!
Unfortunately circular needles are kind of a necessity for working wide garments. You would need to use knitting needles that are 30 inches long to be able to fit all the stitches on there, and that would be super cumbersome! Circular needles are actually super easy to use once you get the hang of them, I promise! :)
@@lizzygrant1990 instead of being annoyed by everyone using them, how about trying them out? They are much easier than straights, and you can find inexpensive ones to try. There's a reason "everyone" is using them!!
can you make one for a round one :/
Did anyone see that she made the back part of the sweater?
You castes on too fast. Could've get it.
