We used Alpaca Silk Dk in Insurgent colorway for the pattern shown today: www.expression...
Advanced Beginner - For those knitters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Stitches include: basic drop stitches, mattress seaming.
Notes From the Designer:
•Cumulus is a quick weekend knit project that adds interest and excitement to your wardrobe. This top features sections of simple openwork stitches and basic drop stitches with a combination of Garter Stitch and Stockinette Stitch backgrounds designed to keep things interesting while you knit.
•Simple seaming creates an open shoulder design that can be easily altered for those who wish to make their tee in a more traditional style. Slit seams on each side and a longer length on the back make this a fun and flirty piece that is perfect for layering as temperatures fluctuate. In keeping with the customization theme of this design, I have included 8 sizes ranging from bust size 32” to bust size 60” with 2” of positive ease.
•Rectangular pieces are knit flat from the bottom up and then seamed together using the mattress stitch with guidance from the schematic diagrams included in this pattern.
We hope you ENJOY!!! Chandi and team

To make the shifting clouds be what you please.” -Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Wonderful! 💕
Oh such a beautiful seam.
Thanks! 💕
You are such a delight. I wish all teachers were like you. Thank you for making seaming enjoyable. I will never cringe again. Have a blessed day.
Great example of mattress stitch. I love seaming and the structure it gives garments. Easy peasy.
😁😁💜
This is the best mattress stitch tutorial that I have seen! I have watched so many on UA-cam and none of them had visual and oral instruction so synchronized. Thank you!
Thank you so much! 😁
Can’t wait just ordered this pattern and yarn your such a positive light
Amazing and pretty easy.
You speak in such a lovely and carefree manner with innocence ,I feel inner happiness after seeing your lovely face. You are truly a beautiful and lovely soul.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope you have an amazing weekend! ❤️
Very nice. I don’t knit much and have completely avoided any knitted piece with a seam. I will come back to this video if I decide to knit something with a seam. Thank you for all of the lovely patterns.
❤️❤️

You are so welcome! 🥰
Thank you for introducing mattress stitch! It’s does have a nice and professional finish. Like it a lot and your instructions are often clear to follow.
Well I'll be darned ... I had no idea it could be this easy. I am one of those who have avoided projects with seams like the plague. I just put a couple patterns in my shopping cart, from your web site, and they have seams. Now I don't have to debate on whether to get them or not. Thank You so much!!! 🌻
Perfect! 🤩
This was really useful!! I’m just beginning knitting but love your channel , you made learning how to cast off a breeze 💕
Awesome! Thank you!

You know what I think it’s the first time I see a video so clear and now I’m not as reluctant to make a garment. Thank you for this video. Very helpful.
You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!
My 16 yr old daughter watched this with me bc my mom taught her how to sew when she was little. I think she loves you as much as I do! She loved the sound effects and couldn't get over how pretty you are and how cute your voice sounds. Maybe I'll get her knitting yet.❤
This makes me sooo happy! ❤️❤️ We'll get her knitting! 😉
This was very helpful Chandi!
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
I usually crocheted my seams together but I live how easy this is. I will use this from now on.
Yay! 😃
Thank you!! I can knit anything but avoid seaming. You've demystified this so easily for me where photos in instructions could not.
Awesome! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the perfect demonstration and zooming in for a close up which takes out the guess work out.
❤️❤️
Thanks dear ....magical

Chandi, you definitely made this a more enjoyable task with this tutorial. Thank you!

Thanks for tutorial - I think I got it now. Love your videos
❤️❤️❤️
I'm with the majority, I find seaming daunting and I'm a seamstress!. But you make it seem (see what I did there) so easy. Love your videos, so much fun to watch!
😂😂 I like what you did there! Thank you so much! ❤️
Love the pattern love this for the summer thank you I no all about sewing I was a mending front leaving school we had to mend all sorts off seams holes this brought back memories xx happy Friday x

Thank you for making me smile...🤗🥰😚
😘😘
Very helpful ! Thank you ... first time I see this technique done up close and slow enough for me to understand how is done 👍🙂❤️Thank you
I'm so glad that the video was helpful! Thank you! 😘
Wow 😍 It's magic 🥰🥰😍😍😍
😍😍
This is one of the best tutorials on mattress stitch. Really easy to follow. I'm making the Hadi Tee and was a little worries about seaming...not any more
Perfect! So glad it was helpful! ❤️
I Love those drop stitches. Thanks for the seeming tutorials it is always the hardest for me. You make everything look so so easy. Will see if this is so when I give it a try! Worse than seaming is weaving in ends!
I hear ya! Weaving in ends can be a bit of a challenge. You've got this! ❤️❤️
You are just make my day. What a pleasure to see your video. I sew like you do without your "bloop" but I try the next time lol. Have a beautiful sunny day
Have a wonderful weekend! ❤️
Wow! What a great video! I wish I had watched this when I first started knitting!
I'm so glad you like it!
Oh my god I am crying laughing with you and the Bloopers in this video! You tell hubs he is a lovable gnome😂 I am also a lover of seam... so magical.
Yes, he is a precious gnome!! HAHA! Yay for seaming lovers!!!
Thank you so much for the free pattern!🥰. And the stitching hint. I love stitching also, but like you, I’m also a seamstress. And I think the mattress stitch is so satisfying!! I love pulling it closed. Anyway, can’t wait to start this pattern. ❤️💕
Yes! It is incredibly satisfying! 😍😍
У Вас тонкий вкус и чувство меры! Самые чудесные вещи просты в исполнении! Вы прелесть и хороши в своих блузках!
Thank you so much! 😘
Chandi, I am loving your videos. This seam instruction is fabulous! I've never done seams for knitted projects before. I have to say I don't think I'll ever have a problem with it after today. It actually looks fun and simple. Thank you for the lovely pattern and instructions. P.S. love the bloopers too!
You can totally do it! ❤️❤️
So looking forward to making this! Thank you for the pattern and the tutorial! These videos make mt Friday morning coffee so much better and inspire me to pick up my needles!
I'm so glad you are going to make it! I hope you have a wonderful day! ❤️
Ty Ty Ty!!! Now I shall not avoid knitting clothing items. This actually helps me as a very seasoned crocheter as well. Btw, My husband could hear me watching your video and he started laughing as he heard you making the same sounds I do when I'm feeling goofy whilst crocheting/knitting LOL Love your bracelet and bee ring!
Yay! You've got this! ❤️❤️😻
Beautiful pattern! Great tutorial on seaming! Thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad you like it! Have a lovely weekend! 😍
Thanks Chandi! You too!
After watching your demo it seems easy to do. Thank you for sharing 😉👍❤️ ... Love the bloopers at the end ☺️
You've got this! 😍😍
You are just too adorable! Love your videos - this is very helpful - have a wonderful day 😍
I hope you have an amazing weekend! ❤️
Thank you thank you thank you Chandi! Absolutely perfect timing - I have three projects knitted/crocheted (and another almost done) that have been completed except for putting them together....all because I was dreading that part. This stitch looks like fun so I cant wait now to get stuck in! Woo hoo! xoxo
Yay! I'm so glad the video was helpful! You've got this! 😘
Now, I need to learn how to knit! Thank you so much, this tutorial was very helpful!

Thank you for the lovely pattern and this VERY helpful video 😍 will you do a video on weaving in ends? (In projects without the ridge to hide the thread) 🙏
We will definitely do a video on weaving in ends!
Best tutorial ever! 😊💕
😍😘
@@ExpressionFiberArts 🤗💖
Awesome! Can you do a video for doing this in crochet?? Also where do you get your darning needles? They are so cool!!
We can definitely work on doing that in crochet! I appreciate the suggestion! I get my darning needle from my knit kit. Here is a link for you: theknitkit.com 💕
Здорово!!!👏👏👏Красота!!!
Thank you so much!
Chandi, Thank You so much for the beautiful pattern, I was looking for a nice spring/summer top. You and Tim are too cute together__don't ever outgrow that! 💖🙌🙌🙌😺
Thank you so much, sweet one! 🥰🥰
Love this video! I always have trouble finding the right place to stitch when seaming. This really helps a LOT! Wish that crochet seams were as clear to seam. Or are they and I just have issues finding the matching stitches? Hmm.
They are a little different! I think we will do a video of seaming your crochet patterns. ❤️
@@ExpressionFiberArts YAY! That would be wonderful and much appreciated. I love your teaching style as it's thorough and never too fast to grasp. Thank you!
Grazie mille 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are welcome! ☺️
Looks great. But can you do the same for us crocheters?
We will make a video for seaming up your crocheted items!
you are so cute!! I love how you explain things,, thanks
You are so kind! Thank you! 😍
Hi is there one that shows seaming up textured pieces. I'm doing the Esquire sweater for my hubby and there's several stitches that are different. Do you have one that shows this?
No, we don't have a tutorial on that topic. Sorry about that.
Garden gnomes are super cute!! Who were you calling a garden gnome? Lol 💗
My hubby. He was being super silly! ❤️
Thank you so much for your video. I love your needle. Where did you find it? It looks so easy to thread the yarn through. I always have the hardest time with that 😄
I have it in my notions pack from the knit kit. theknitkit.com/collections/the-knit-kit/products/thenewknitkit
Can any of these patterns be converted to loom knitting? I have issues with arthritis in my hands and I can’t needle knit
I'm not sure. I don't know much about loom knitting. Maybe some of the simpler shawls and scarves, but I'm not sure. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Did you just say that you love weaving in ends? Oh dear May I send this graphgan I crocheted last year for my brat which is uhm queen size and still need its zillion ends to be weaved in? Love your enthusiasm😁
😂😂 ❤️❤️
Que pena que no entiendo el idioma,pero me gusta todo lo que haces. Gracias
Thank you!
❤️
@@ExpressionFiberArts esto,es lounico qque entiendo
Can you be any more adorable!? Would this also work in crochet? I have the Cirrus made for my daughter, have yet to seam.
I would check out slip stitch seaming or single crochet seaming for crochet patterns. ❤️
Hello Chandra, do you use the same stitch for Crocheting?
I would check out slip stitch seaming or single crochet seaming for crochet items. We will definitely do a video for crochet as well!
Great tutorial. Thank you. I haven’t knit or crocheted in months because it makes my thumbs hurt.
Thanks! I'm sorry you thumbs are hurting. I hope you are feeling better soon. ❤️
ExpressionFiberArts I wish I knew of some way to continue knitting without the pain.
You like seaming because you also sew and are comfortable with hand stitching.
Definitely!
How can I found the patern please?
You'll always find the pattern links in the video descriptions. Here is the link: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/cumulus.html

How does one stitch crochet together??
Stacy, same concept!
Is there an equivalent to this for crochet? Thank you!
The seaming or the pattern? 😊
God bless
🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
💐💐💐👍👍👍

Кто сказал, что сложные и замудренные вязанные вещи красят женщину!!
❤️❤️
I always avoid seaming.
I hear ya! ❤️
Usted es una mujer guapa y me gustan las prendas que elabora
PERO ESE SOMBRERO QUE SE PONE LE QUEDA HORRIBLE. .
I'm so glad that you like the tutorials! 💕
