hello friends!! a few of you have already commented this, but I did want to clear up my misused of the word "crochet" in this video: the motion I was doing was actually "hand knitting" - as you can tell, I'm still a noob at all this but thank you everyone for correcting me!! 🙈💗
Really curios did it break yet? Bc it looks like you are using rover and that tends to crumble
Well I didn't care..I knew what you meant..Great Job and thanks for share and inspiration!!
You can still add shape by going around the edge again.. Its absolutely gorgeous though.
I am so obsessed with this. It’s so beautiful and you are just adorable. Love it❤❤❤
One question, what brand of merino wool did you use to knit the sweater?
"I don't know who's buying yarn at this time"
me, a knitter: *slowly hiding my three hampers of yarn in the closet*
YESS lol I crochet and I have purchased yarn way too many times this year!
Right?? Between crochet and knitting, I have four underbed containers and a literal bookshelf of yarn haha
I feel like this video showed up in my recommendation solely because of this comment 😬😂
Omg i am actually currently crocheting an ear warmer while watching this.
I am addicted to yarn. I love to crochet. I have over $800 stash. When I want to make something and no money I go to my storage. I have about 18 containers with yarn. I've been collecting for 9 years. Plus I have a huge box of hooks and knitting needles. I'm older and don't go many places so it's really a sanity saver.
@sarahpan DO NOT WASH IT!!! I'm sorry to bring you the bad news when you did such a good job, but you didn't use yarn, you used roving, thats the stuff that gets turned into yarn. Unfortunately this cardigan isn't going to hold together for a long time and it's going to pick up a lot of stuff. Importantly if you wash it you will felt it, it will turn into a solid, stiff piece and will also shrink a little. Maybe think of this as a practice run if you really love it or as a photography piece if you don't want to remake it. Keep it inside a protective bag when storing.
thank you i just used this yarn for a sweater and almost washed it!
I came here to say you throw that in the wash and you'll have a nice little felted sweater!
It breaks my heart when I keep seeing people use roving
I literally just watched knitters explain how wasteful using rover is with this trend. You get to use it a few times? dirt particles easily stick to it, it's easily gonna break apart, and when you wash it, it's gonna get really stiff. So yeah, according to her, PRICEY is the word because after spending all that money, it's gonna go straight to the trash.
Charlotte Cox how u can u tell the difference between roving and real yarn
As a very experienced knitter, I give you high fives for your ingenuity, problem solving and creativity! If you can figure out how to make a garment having never knitted in your life and just using your hands, you would pick up knitting with needles with no problems! Great job!
Hi! Just FYI you need to be very careful with this sweater. The yarn you are using is basically roving (unspun yarn). Hand wash in cold water. Don't wring it out. Lay flat to dry. If you snag on something be very careful. Don't pull. You'll break the yarn. You did a good job. Just be careful with this sweater. If you are it will last a long time.
What’s a better yarn? I would love to try!
@@siopao6720 look for a yarn similar to Bernat Softee Chunky. Something that is spun (you'll see 2 strands).
@ It's simply Elle Thank you, I appreciate this info.
I doubt the yarn will hold up over time, theres and yours, because the yarn doesnt have any structure, yarn like that, which is basically just the hair itself, will break down and fall apart. Those chunky knit blankets and sweaters end up being way to expensive to make with not much pay off. At least they are cute tho!!
Exactly what i was thinking when I saw that the yarn wasnt spun... I can only imagine how this will look after a month. Throwing it in the wash and dryer will only felt it and shrink it
I would be extremely surprised if this didn’t pill all over after the first wear. I hate that Pinterest and others are telling people who don’t know better to use this giant yarn to make things. It’s so expensive. :(
@@rlwillo I’m a newbie, which yarn would be better to use for this?? 🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@dazedandcontent7079 the name of this type of thick yarn is classed as 'super chunky' (silly, but it is the official name). If you look up super-chunky yarn on eBay/Amazon/yarn shops then you should be able to find this type of yarn to use. If it looks like two strands of yarn twisting around each other, then this is a more sturdier yarn to use for your project - hope this helps!
I totally agree it’s not like normal yarn taht is one threw the whole thing it’s just a bunt of hair gathers and slowly will tear
omg it turned out so good though!!!
OMG HELLO!! YOU'RE LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE UA-camRS 🥺💖
@@sarahpan what omg that means so much because literally I love your videos ❤️
hiya! just a smol tip: what ur making is more similar to knitting than crochet. knitting will produce those v shaped stitches that you see, whereas crochet stitches are more like knots. nevertheless, the sweater looks great!
ahh thank you for the tip! I definitely conflated the two when I was learning how to do all this so I might've incorrectly coined the term "crochet" here and there - i'll definitely be more conscious in future videos 😅 and I really appreciate the heads up!
Crocheting does produce V shapes sometimes. Not always but certain stitches do ♥️☺️
You can crochet those v stitches texture! Although it produces a thicker fabric. Crochet in general creates a thicker fabric than knit (and I think crochet is more versatile and easier to pattern)
@@sarahpan use the faux knit stitch. It will do it for you
despite it not feeling comfortable lmao it looks amazing on you!!
Thank you sm!! 💖
Just a warning to beginners: If you are ever thinking of hand knitting(knitting with your hands instead of using needles) I recommend not doing that because the ending of the product might look well but it won't hold up. It could be a couple uses and it'll fall apart.
Exactly why I’m starting to love Crocheting! You can literally make anything out of yarn that’s like $5 dollars.
I couldn’t get miras tutorial out of my head for days 😂 this style of sweater is so cute!!
ikr mira's video and sweater were GOD-TIER ✨ also same hahah I love these chunky sweaters 🙈
Stuff to know about roving/unspun yarn/the material Sarah used to knit this:
-it is hella weak, it’ll break apart super easily
-washing it can break your washer
-it gets MAD dirty
-even gentle animals can tear it up
-it gets ruined in the washer/dryer anyways
hey i just want to ask what right yarn should i use when making this kind of cardigan? i really wanna try ittt
@@daxiana_ t-shirt yarn (probably the best pick, but it isn't as fluffly) or some jumbo chenille or velvet yarn should work for this
Absolutely in love with the results ! I am a compulsive crocheter (I literally crochet with no goal and undo my pieces to reuse the yarn)
I guess I'll try to make a chunky cardigan like this when I'll have saved money to buy these chunky yarn (expensive compared to what I earn but still so satisfying !!)
Hi Sarah, you did a really good description of the process, and I hope the viewers who are also new to yarn crafting took note of all the things you learnt along the way. Making things from yarn can be very pleasurable and you dived right in, and hopefully if you do any more you will use the experience gained from this piece eg, use yarn as opposed to roving, measure yourself to get a better idea of what size you need to make, have an idea of the way the pieces fit round you, and use a yarn type that you find comfortable on your skin, and something that you find pleasurable to work with long enough to complete a piece. The stitches you made were very even which is part of the charm of a well made piece, and you have a good eye for colour (liked the way the sweater toned with your hair!) The need to have something immediately is something crafters have to overcome as the key to making something yourself is delayed gratification (!) but the payoff is you will end up with something unique to you and the satisfaction of having made it yourself. Well done for completing your item, not something everyone achieves first time out, hope you will now feel confident enough to tackle other projects. Making stuff is good for the soul, enjoy!
It looks adorable.You did very well for not having any experience or pattern. Kudos!
Been lookin at multiple tutorials for this and sooo far this is the best, easiest to understand. I love how you show us tha work
Girl,u keep making me wanna do new things and I'm all for it✨✨
Remember practice makes perfect! I'd love to see if you'd revisit this one day and try again. Sweaters are a daunting task but you nailed it!
i think you did an amazing job! it looks quite well crafted and maybe like... a super good pillow to use on a train ride
Oooo the color block is really cute!
The color combination in this❤️❤️😘
“Stomach rolls”
Girl, where?!
it looks amazing sarah
I think i just found a new hobby thanks to you 😍😍 this is so cute
Omg you did such a good job, it was so hard to hear your mom was so harsh about how you did it, which made you feel like you had to redo it. Ugh I just wanna give you a hug. You did an incredible job and it made me want to try to knit a big sweater like this cause idk why but crocheting scares me lol
it looks SOOO good!!!!
You did so well. I love knitting and have not tried garment yet. I am working on doing baby garments first cause it is great practice. Anyway if you redo it measure yourself or at least with this box style construction measure from shoulder to shoulder and add about 2-4 inches depending on how oversize you want it. That way when you do front panels you have room for the neck opening. The colors are cute and looks so cute on you. You did awesome and don't be discouraged.☺
Literally so cute! Thanks for the info
I like it, I am starting one for my granddaughter. Thank you for your time 😍
diy queen back at it again 🤩 i think i found my new project for the holidays
and i OOP- AN AD 😱 you go girl!! it was timed so perfectly too
Omg thank you girl! And yess def a cool holiday project to try 💕
(hehe ya girl out here for the cheddar 🧀)
This was such an easy tutorial! Thanks a lot! Can't wait to make mine ;)
In-store yarn stocks have definitely been a struggle since the pandemic started!! I started crocheting a couple years ago and you can bet I've been doing a lot more since I'm home all the damn time!
I LOVE FINGER KNITTING!!! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!
This video is so relaxing to watch (especially when ur procrastinating bc uni is stressful af) loved the editing! It actually turned out so cute, it reminds me of icecream 🍦
That juggling attempt in the intro was adorable haha
Omg hehe I was procrastinating my work by making this video too 😂 and thank you!! As you can see, I am definitely not a juggler 💞
That yarn sheds!
Please make an updated tutorial based on new tips/tricks. I love this!
This should have way more views! 💕
Girl you KILLED IT🤩 This is soooo cute. I wanna try this but knowing myself I prob will take like 2 months instead 😆
ahh thank you gal! and low key it's not as hard as it looks! 💞
I admire your persistence! I avoided that style of yarn, because it was expensive and didn't look like it would hold up. However, good on you for making something you can wear😄
Hi you did pretty good for your first sweater don’t give up keep trying!!!!❤️❤️❤️
I feel like another row around the whole front and around back of neck and back down the front will give it more room
I’ve done that and it worked for me :)
Also it’s really pretty! 💕💕
just discovered ur channel and i love it 🤪
I liked the sweater very much and while your video plays I have been working for 7 hours redoing a blanket sweater. I made it way to big now I'm almost finished. Whew. My eyes are burning. Anyway redo your sweater till it's perfect you won't regret it.
lovee thiss 💗💗💗
Looks awesome! I wanna make one now
good job!!
came from mira's channel and girl you are so funny I love watching this.
for some reason I dread knitting, but you almost made it easy for me lol if not the perfectionist in all of us is stopping me to try this because I already know my knots will be all wonky and I'd probably start over so many times too!! >__<
subscribed and can't wait to see more!
Omg it’s so cute
Wow obsessed 😍
How does this hold up so far? The "yarn" doesn't seem like it has much structure. In those cases knitted or crochet pieces will end up like trash quite fast. I hope, in this case it does hold up after so many hours of work put in.
ua-cam.com/video/AAWbVvwlovI/v-deo.html
Be careful this yarn isn't really yarn and will fall apart easily :(
It’s fibers
@@karenshort3880 right^^ roving I think
This!!! I wish she would pin this comment :( maybe she'll get lucky and it'll "set" a little when she hand washes it.
Thats so cute 🥺 i'm not sure what kind of yarn you used, but I watched a video where someone knitted a little square with roving wool like those huge blankets you see on Pinterest, and within a week on their couch, the entire square fluffed apart, and got a bunch of stuff stuck in it, and after they washes and dried it, it got all hard and gross, so be careful with your sweater if the yarn pulls apart easily!
Dang this turned out really well! Even though you said you made it in 2 days, that still sounds really fast because I don't think I could make this in 2 months lol props to Mira for making it in 3 hours 😩😩 I really liked the colors you picked and wow that power pose at the end 👏 I see that your family is still roasting even though you moved out LOL but I think you did a great job on this!
thanks Ryan! I was definitely second guessing the colors at some point but thankfully everything kind of came together at the end 😄 and ahahahaha don't remind me that my family is just savage to the core 😂
I also bought the materials a while back but wasn't so successful. I will try again, thank you for this. ❤️
tip for u: please dont use roving yarn like she did, it didn't have structure so it wont hold up in the long run
Thank you for your reply. I knitted it already and turned out great! ❤️
Do you have a video showing you’re finished knitting projects
Beautiful
be extremely careful with it because roving yarn gets ruined very easily
ooh wow this is so cool! it looks like knitting but seems easier. lol my hands sweat like crazy with i do those fuzzy furry stitching things. the color coordination that u picked is so pretty. this video is indeed saving u money for the cardigan and earning u some ad sense hhahaa. i love it. so cool to see cool refreshing content
haha thank you gal! the roving yarn was definitely an experience to work with but surprisingly not that difficult! 💖
@@sarahpan ahh great to hear. got some gift ideas for xmas lol
Great sweater😍
love it
This is actually more of like knitting than crochet hehe but it's cuuute 💕
noted! I definitely mixed up the two while making this video 😅 but thank you so much for the pointer! 💖
Cute!💗
So cute
It looks super cute but watch out I heard that straight up wool shreds really easily!
I want this!!!😍😭😭
2 seconds in...I already liked the video :)
Okay.... awessome
hi! One question, what brand of merino wool did you use to knit the sweater?
love your videos! If you don't mind me asking, what camera and editing program do you use?
Canon t6i and adobe premiere pro!
Omg 😱 it looks amazing 🤩 please make a tutorial for a hat
Wow congratulations 👏👏👏
So cute! :)
i've never seen the original sweater before lol
yours turned out pretty cute tho
Thank you so much! 💕
Omg you should've done the mattress stitch to connect the pieces! That way you don't have any extra/thicc seems :)
ooh thank you sm for the tip! :)
y’all best not be skipping the ads 👏🏽
👀
You could make a collar to go round the neck. It would sit better on you then and feel more comfortable. You have given me an idea that I can use for the wool I have
This is so cute!! I feel like this would be super hard. Great job!!
thank you! :)
Hellloo from turkey .itss look so good. I love it. How many balls of yarn did you use?
I wanna try this now. If a clueless being can do it, so can another clueless being!
What crochet stitches do I use if I wanna use a hook? Does anyone know?
God I am really considering making a knitting youtube channel to actually provide useful information because there are so many videos like this right now telling people to do things that will result in ugly sweaters that will fall apart and be uncomfortable.
Omg whats a better yarn to use to make this sweater??
You should do it !!! I really need good advice with knitting cos I’m hoping to do more with it in my textiles degree !!!
please do it ill subscribe
Please do it, I need it very much haha
@@dazedandcontent7079 well, not roving for a start. If you want to make something extremely bulky, I'd invest in giant needles or a hook, and with something so bulky, probably better to whip stitch panels together rather than the sort of slip stitch/binding off method she used
BAHAHA >:) I love this video so much. It's soooooo sweet to see all these talented women crocheting diy sweaters, and they look even better than these overly priced brand sweaters costing $400+
Omg the way you secured the pieces is genius!! I was so half ass with mine ahahaha - also was lint not an issue with you?? I leave a trail of lint every time i wear mine lol
Omg girl don't even get me started! I somehow end up lint in my mouth now even when I'm not wearing it 😂😂😂
I really want to make this But everyone is saying it won't hold up after a while, should I use different type of Yarn of something? Please help :(
Where can I find that yarn? I dont know the name ..
This and the harry styles cardigan have been my dream to crochet! Hahah now I feel like I gotta do it! It's a sign haha 😂😂Wish it was more comfy tho cause its so cute!!!
omg yess go for it!! honestly now's the perfect time for sweater weather 💞
Have you seen brunaticallity's tutorial for the harry styles sweater?
How do you prevent felting and misshapen products after cleaning them with unstructured yarn?
Washing in the sink with warm water and shampoo then laying the finished garment flat, to dry, will help prevent miss-shaping. It is also the best way to care for home knit/crochet.
As for felting, I would not have picked that yarn for that cardigan as it would felt really quickly due to lack of structure, especially in the armpit aria (no offence Sara) sweet can/ will increase the risk of felting.
If you are going to do this pick a yarn with structure (twists in the wool) research the type of fibre you are using Marino (sheep wool) vs. a polyester yarn will behave differently (content and linen are used in a lot of summer patterns) . And make shore it’s lose around the armpit.
As a knitter I'm cringing at the 'yarn' you picked. It's actually called roving, which is basically yarn before it's spun and becomes yarn. Avoid putting this through the wash. It will fall apart very quickly. If you ever make anything like this again, it will also be much quicker with needles. As tricky as it is to learn, it will save you a lot of time.
what is the material of the yarn that you use?
It looks so daunting to make cuz it looks tough to make, but it’s so cute 😣
gloom has that sweater!!
It tuned out so good! But sadly if worn too much it will fall apart easily since the fibers of the wool don’t have any structure. It’s downfall of using that loose chunky wool yarn.
Where do I buy that type of yarn????
Can you use small yarn tho?
Would you mind linking the jeans you’re wearing at 7:40? I’ve been looking for a pair just like that :)
It's the vanilla star acid wash black corduroy pants!! I got it at macy's but can't find it on the site - I resized them in my resizing jeans video b/c they were actually a pair of large skinny jeans originally
Love your glasses
Beautiful and color are cool too 😄 ... can't we do this with crochet? As I only know crochet xD
Can you tell me how much yarn did you use?
omg I love this but I would add big buttons at the last like 4 rows and add button holes
I will probably never be this early for anything for the rest of my life 😂😂😂
