woman, i could hug you. I'm at the very beginning of my knitting journey, and though I can crochet, knitting has been a little challenging. I have watched at least 4 other videos of this raglan and had NO CLUE what was going on. You made this SO easy to understand. I know i can do this now without confusion. AND another hug for doing a smaller version so it sinks in and chunky yarn so we can see your stitches. I watched the entire video glued to the screen. No yawns here. You're a fantastic teacher! Your pace and vocal instruction are right on the money, even for a beginner. Subscribed! Added to my list, and even bookmarked. Even jumped on your website and signed up for the newsletter. I don't see a need to watch any other channel. THANK YOU!
I wish I had found this video at the beginning of this pattern! I was trying to find the hood and now I know I could have done the sleeves much better. They don't look awful, but you are my SHERO!!
I would not have been able to knit this sweater without this fabulous tutorial! It's for my granddaughter expected 2/18/23 and, although I'm advanced beginner, I really needed the step-by-step instruction. Thank you!
Brilliant knitting video. Lovely clear instructions. I have purchased your pattern and have now finished the cute little hoodie. Took two days and I am really pleased with it. Will be making more for my future Grandchild. I have never used double pointed needles, but with your in depth video, you gave me the courage to try. And it was a success. Thank you for taking the time to make a great video. Thanks again. Diane (uk)
I have watched and learned from quite a few of your videos but I must say this one was over the moon! I believe a beginning knitter would be able to knit this sweater with your video to guide her/him. cb
Fantastic little hoodie. Can't wait to knit this (I am going to be a grandma for this first time in May and it is a little girl). Your tutorials are so clear and informative and a joy to watch. Thank you.
I love how well you explain everything in your videos! This is my first sweater I’m trying, and you make it look so easy I’m gonna have to try it! Thank you
Wow thank you for your patience on teaching us how to knit this bautiful sweater.....its very beautiful...you are a good teacher full of love and patience....
Hello, just saying, I love your videos!! I have learned a ton. I want to do one of these sweaters and socks and the yarn has been discontinued. What other yarn can I use for this pattern? Thanks
I had a heart attack when you pulled the dpns out of that sleeve 25:08. But, then I realized that you are a master knitter and would have no problem picking them back up again. I want to make this baby sweater. It is too cute!
Thank you for the tutorial. Your video is very straight forward and get to the point clearly. I’m tempted to buy this pattern but it only comes with a few baby sizes for $9. As kids growing so fast, I wish this pattern could have more sizes to fit toddler. Thanks again.
One of my goals for 2016 is to knit myself a sweater. I've downloaded your Zasio Sweater, but I think this project is going in the queue ahead of the Zasio. It will be a good learning experience and some of the techniques look the same. Presently finishing up my first pair of Align Fingerless Mitts and they're great. PS...Love your nails!
+Grace Hill Hi Grace, that's a great idea. I had to chime in because I did pretty much the same thing and it worked so well! I used Staci's "Learn to Knit a Woman's Sweater" pattern and how-to videos to knit my very first sweater ... about two years ago. It's on her website. I can't recommend her tutorials highly enough. My sweater came out really well and now my best friend wears it. If you're on Ravelry, my project is at: www.ravelry.com/projects/KnitsByCampfires/learn-to-knit-a-womans-sweater
Hi, I'm thrilled you made a baby sweater tut! LUV THIS! I'm knitting a baby sweater now, & that underarm area is tricky. My sweater looks loose due to those "backward loop cast on stitches". I hope I can use my 9"Circulars to close the under arm & knit the sleeves. ***I like this pattern, because it uses bulky yarn.
Ciao Stacy, prima di tutto voglio ringraziarti per questo video per me molto istruttivo e ben fatto, anche se comprendo solo il 10% sono riuscita a scrivere le spiegazioni... ti seguo da un po' di tempo ed apprezzo molto la precisione e la linearità dei capi che spieghi!
I was worried about picking up 24 stitches along the body because I had followed a different pattern from a different company for another baby sweater, and in that sweater the button band drew in. I sent my worries to the pattern developer, and they said to stay with the pattern since my gauge was right. It turned out perfectly. This was a quick and easy knit that will last for many generations of grand kids. So easy to knit. Stay with the pattern. It is done correctly!
hi Stacey, hope I got your name right, I love your tutorials, they are very well explained and the help & tips you give me does help, luv ya , your the best and only person I go to get inspired, or as you if I need help. thank you, you have great tutorials, love them, keep it up, luv ya x your intermediate knitter who's willing to learn. thank you Stacey, love your work and ideas. take care .luv ya x
I left in the scrap yarn at the sleeve. Thank God I did because I made a huge error in picking up the underarm stitches. Tinked it back and fixed it; easy peasy!
I love your work and have made many projects from your videos. You actually taught me how to knit! I think your next project should be the "Stripey Duffle Coat" by Kate Coats. I would love a tutorial on it since I bought the pattern and now can't get past a certain part.
muchisimas gracias por hacer y compartir este video, me resuelve muchas , muchas preguntas sobre tejer este sueter para bbs. Fantastica la explicacion , gracias y a seguir poniendo mas videos.
I have spent HOURS online with minimal success searching for a chunky baby cardigan pattern. I visited my LYS and started a similar, but hoodless, cardigan using DK yarn (the label doesn't say DK, but I'm using US 7 needles). NOT BULKY, as they didn't know of such a pattern. 🤦🏼♀️😩 It's a top-down raglan pattern, just like you've demonstrated here. Wish I'd found this video BEFORE I started!!!!!!!!! I didn't understand the pattern instructions for the sleeve -- there was an increase in the first row, then decreasing. ????!!!! So I am knitting one (test) sleeve without any decreasing. I think it will be fine, especially as it's for a baby, and should be easy to put on/take off. So far it looks fine, and I can always tip if it's terrible. (I noticed that this sweater's sleeves do not appear to be shaped either. Although I haven't seen the actual pattern.) Your instructions and filming are spot-on. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀😍
Hola esta muy hermoso me encanta el tutoriales no hablo inglés pero entendí perfectamente muchas gracias por compartir y que Dios la bendiga un saludo fraternal desde Venezuela
thank you for the great pattern .. i love your tutorials even i have a small difficulty because you speak quickly and english is not my language...but thanks again your are great teacher,,,kisses
This was a great tutorial to watch. Do you have anything to teach how to turn a regular seamed baby pattern into a top down sweater? I’m thinking why not do it this way. It would be perfect.
Where did you get those buttons and/or where’s a good place to shop for buttons like that? I tried Jo-Ann fabrics and couldn’t find many good options; most of their buttons are the flat kind.
Hi, I'm an Aussie grandmother, love how easy this is as l have Rheumatoid Arthritis and this looks doable! You don't say what size needle ? You do say bulky wool however we have ply here Is it possible to tell needle size and ply? Please !
I´m from Sul do Brasil. my name is Jordânia. I love knitting. your channel and adorable learned a lot. I´m sorry. My english is not very good, but I have been trying to improve.
That is ADORABLE!! I wish it was available in toddler sizes. My 6mo grandson is already in 18 mos clothes, so this wouldn't work for him... I wouldn't dare make anything smaller than a 2T or even 3T, as he's growing SO fast (and big!)
That seems like it would work, but just doubling numbers would make a sweater that no longer had correct proportions to fit. This pattern comes in three sizes - 0-3 months, 4-8 months, 9-12 months.
Instead of the 3 needle bind off for the hood, could you Kitchener stitch the hood closed? I can do either one, just wondered...I'm one of those weirdos who actually LIKES the Kitchener stitch! :-)
+Catherine Noble - yes, it will work, but I'm not sure that I recommend it. The 3-needle BO provides some structure in the hood, and the Kitchener stitch would not. I haven't test knit it with the Kitchener stitch, but I'm thinking the structure the 3NBO gives is probably important, since the hood is a lot of fabric.
Hi Stacey I'm a beginner knitter and was eyeing this hoodie out as a first project -but after watching the tutorial through I'm wondering if I shouldn't start on something simpler -what is your advise?
I'd say this is an advanced beginner project (with the tutorial), but watching the video is your best gauge for whether or not you think the project is appropriate for your skill level.
This is adorable, I wish you would do the whole sweater from start to finish so we could work along with you until completed, would love to make 4 of these, please make tutorial from start to finish so we can work along with you, PLEASE
I show all of the techniques used in the pattern...it would be a month-long video if I showed every stitch! If you have good basic knitting skills, this pattern is not difficult to follow, and I show what might be new techniques in the video.
I'm curious about something in the construction. Is there any reason you couldn't use kitchener stitch to finish the hood? Three needle looks easier, but kitchener leaves no seam so there is no bulk to possibly irritate a tiny head. Does three needle give better definition to the hood, or is it completely a personal preference matter?
+324cst - from a previous comment/answer - yes, it will work, but I'm not sure that I recommend it. The 3-needle BO provides some structure in the hood, and the Kitchener stitch would not. I haven't test knit it with the Kitchener stitch, but I'm thinking the structure the 3NBO gives is probably important, since the hood is a lot of fabric.
i spent an enjoyable snowstorm evening watching your videos...i did use your coupon code to access the honeybear hoodie discount on ravelry, but it said "Verypink" was not a valid code...did it expire do you know?
Hi love your videos and my niece is having a baby thinking of making this hoodie but I am a visual learner if I buy the pattern will u give step by step video pattern of this hoodie.
I was looking for and easy adult sweater with a hood to knit for myself when I saw the picture for this one and I knew I had to have it. Even without a written pattern it's going to be easy after watching this tutorial. Since you already made a kid size sweater, all you have to do is measure your husband's neck and figure out a comfortable size for him. Then check your gauge and adjust your cast on stitch numbers accordingly. Then just knit as you did the smaller size. You might want to make button holes all the way down the length of the sweater instead of just 2 on the top. That's how I'm going to knit mine. Hope that helped.
Hi, I love the sweater but my daughter-in-law is allergic to wool. Can you recommend an acrylic yarn? Also....can you use to strands of yarn to create a bulky yarn?
Hmm...I don't know of an acrylic yarn that's going to give you the same results, but I don't use much acrylic so my knowledge there is limited. But yes, you can hold multiple strands together to create a bulky yarn. Here is my video on knitting double stranded: ua-cam.com/video/3fPPd00tndI/v-deo.html
I've just come up with a genius idea that means I never have to use scrap yarn for holding stitches again! You do need 16 in needles or at the very least another cord to do it. Slip the stitches onto the 16 in or chord and then just knit the stitches of the first row that you are knitting onto the double pointed needles, spaced as you fancy!
+Al Malmsten - yes, that's why interchangeable needle sets include cord stoppers - so you can use the cords on their own, with the needles removed, as stitch holders. :)
This is so clever, I'm a beginner knitter, I'm knitting a scalf in garter stitch I'm absolutely loving it. I'm an English knitter., I wonder if you could recommend a book that I can learn from? Many thanks Sam. X
+Annielle - sure , you can just work the same ribbing around the neckline that I demonstrate for around the hood. That would make it a regular, non-hoodie cardigan! Really that simple.
"St st" is an abbreviation for "stockinette stitch". If you're knitting a flat piece (back and forth, like you said), that is knit one row, purl one row, repeated throughout the piece.
The markers help you keep track of where the increase lines are. You don't have to use them if you prefer to count each row, but it's much easier to use them.
Great video, love this pattern. Can you tell me what knitting needles your using and where to get them? Also, I went to the Spud and Chloe website but you can't buy yarn from this site, do you have a site I could go to to purchase this color yarn, I love this color for my two newborn granddaughter's and would like to make both of them one before winter is over. Thanks so much for your help. Tammy
The needles I'm using are Knitter's Pride Cubix, available from many retailers, including Amazon. As far as the yarn goes, in the video description field (just below the video) I give a link to the page on the Spud and Chloe website of retailers where you can find the yarn.
Thank you so much. I know the link didn't work on my phone so I'll try from my laptop. Appreciate your help, thanks again. Love watching your videos I'm learning so much from you.
Stacy, when knitting the hood the instructions says to put and knit 16 to middle on each side total 32 stitch then it saus to continue st st fir 3 rows. Does this mean to knit and purl would equal 1 row? Thanks Stacy for your help I'm just not understanding what this means exactly.
Thank you for this great tutorial. I have a question: what adjustments need to be made to the pattern and the size of needles if I want to use less bulkier yarn for this project, say Medium 4?
Sorry - altering the gauge in the pattern really requires starting from scratch and rewriting the entire pattern. If you're looking for something like this in a different yarn weight, I suggest using the Advanced Search Ravelry feature to find a different pattern in the gauge you're after.
Thanks for this! One quick question - where did you get that cute little notions box that you used in the beginning of the video (to pull your tapestry needle from)?? I need one of those!
I made two for each of my grandkids. Now I need to make one for my 3 y/0 grandson. How will I calculate/adjust the pattern for my growing grandkids? Thanks
I don't recommend trying to resize the pattern unless you're really experienced with modifying patterns...it is easier to find a similar pattern on Ravelry that is sized for a 3 year old.
Hi... just wanted to know if I can a detailed instruction of how to knit this cute hoodie as m just a beginner... how many stitches to cast on for a 0-3 month old baby n other details.. thanks:)
+TEJASHVINI VIJAYAKUMAR - this video is made to accompany a written pattern. All of the info you need, including cast-on numbers for the different sizes, are in the pattern. You can get your copy here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/honeybear-hoodie
Would love to gift these to my granddaughter for Christmas. I will call my LYS to see if they carry Spud & Chloe! Do you mind if I ask the colorways you used for the hoodie and socks? Thanks,

I love this tutorial have to make this baby sweater for my 6 no.grandchild.Thank you for another fun lesson .paula
love this pattern - i have some bulky/chunky wool - can i knit this hoodie with smaller needles and go a size up? it's for a newborn
I have spent HOURS online with minimal success searching for a chunky baby cardigan pattern.
I visited my LYS and started a similar, but hoodless, cardigan using DK yarn (the label doesn't say DK, but I'm using US 7 needles). NOT BULKY, as they didn't know of such a pattern. 🤦🏼♀️😩
It's a top-down raglan pattern, just like you've demonstrated here.
Wish I'd found this video BEFORE I started!!!!!!!!!
I didn't understand the pattern instructions for the sleeve -- there was an increase in the first row, then decreasing. ????!!!!
So I am knitting one (test) sleeve without any decreasing. I think it will be fine, especially as it's for a baby, and should be easy to put on/take off.
So far it looks fine, and I can always tip if it's terrible.
(I noticed that this sweater's sleeves do not appear to be shaped either. Although I haven't seen the actual pattern.)
Your instructions and filming are spot-on. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀😍
Oops. RIP it, not TIP it. Soz!!

Love this sweater pattern! Wish there toddler sizes available.
GREAT tutorial! How do you know how many stitches under the arms to pick up? As I was watching you knit, it looked like there were more to pick up...
Wonderful video, as usual. You are a great teacher !
Marvellous! As always! x
Amazing tutorial thanx for all the help through each step

i love this video very informative and explained very easily how to follow this pattern
Hi! I love your videos. Can you please tell me where you get your Stitch markers. They look easier to use than the hard ones
That is ADORABLE!! I wish it was available in toddler sizes. My 6mo grandson is already in 18 mos clothes, so this wouldn't work for him... I wouldn't dare make anything smaller than a 2T or even 3T, as he's growing SO fast (and big!)
why not double the cast on number for the biggest size, given in the pattern and you will have a larger size
That seems like it would work, but just doubling numbers would make a sweater that no longer had correct proportions to fit. This pattern comes in three sizes - 0-3 months, 4-8 months, 9-12 months.
Oh sorry, my mistake :[ live and learn eh :)
hi staci i am 8 years old and i can't buy the pattern and i need to knit the hoodie can you give instructions
It seems to me I can do the bottom edge and button band in a different colour. Any reason that would not work. I already made one in pink solid
Instead of the 3 needle bind off for the hood, could you Kitchener stitch the hood closed? I can do either one, just wondered...I'm one of those weirdos who actually LIKES the Kitchener stitch! :-)

Hi love your videos and my niece is having a baby thinking of making this hoodie but I am a visual learner if I buy the pattern will u give step by step video pattern of this hoodie.
+sadia naim - yes, the pattern makes the steps very clear. The video demonstrates the techniques used, so they work together.
Does this sweater have a bigger size? For Adults? It was such a fun one to make for my kids. Wanted to knit one for my husband.

This is so clever, I'm a beginner knitter, I'm knitting a scalf in garter stitch I'm absolutely loving it. I'm an English knitter., I wonder if you could recommend a book that I can learn from? Many thanks Sam. X
How many stiches in project
Very nice mam. Thanks. God bless you and your family
Hello from Germany, Thank you so much for this supeeer Explained video, Thank you Thank you...GREAT WORK... Kind Greatings.. Maria
can also show us how to knit the baby pants?
Just amazing! Thank you!
This is a great pattern! Do you have any suggestion what to do with the neck edge if I don't want a hoodie?
+Annielle - sure , you can just work the same ribbing around the neckline that I demonstrate for around the hood. That would make it a regular, non-hoodie cardigan! Really that simple.
Thanks!
Hey I was just wondering when a pattern says continue st st for 3 rows. and your knitting back and forth. Is that 3 knit and 3 purl?
"St st" is an abbreviation for "stockinette stitch". If you're knitting a flat piece (back and forth, like you said), that is knit one row, purl one row, repeated throughout the piece.
is compulsory to put the markers
The markers help you keep track of where the increase lines are. You don't have to use them if you prefer to count each row, but it's much easier to use them.
Great video, love this pattern. Can you tell me what knitting needles your using and where to get them? Also, I went to the Spud and Chloe website but you can't buy yarn from this site, do you have a site I could go to to purchase this color yarn, I love this color for my two newborn granddaughter's and would like to make both of them one before winter is over. Thanks so much for your help. Tammy
The needles I'm using are Knitter's Pride Cubix, available from many retailers, including Amazon. As far as the yarn goes, in the video description field (just below the video) I give a link to the page on the Spud and Chloe website of retailers where you can find the yarn.
Thank you so much. I know the link didn't work on my phone so I'll try from my laptop. Appreciate your help, thanks again. Love watching your videos I'm learning so much from you.
Stacy, when knitting the hood the instructions says to put and knit 16 to middle on each side total 32 stitch then it saus to continue st st fir 3 rows. Does this mean to knit and purl would equal 1 row? Thanks Stacy for your help I'm just not understanding what this means exactly.
@@tammyaltic2254 - one knit row is one row, one purl row is one row.
Thank you so much Stacy, I'm still learning all the in and out of knitting. Love watching your videos, learning a lot.
Thank you for this great tutorial. I have a question: what adjustments need to be made to the pattern and the size of needles if I want to use less bulkier yarn for this project, say Medium 4?
Sorry - altering the gauge in the pattern really requires starting from scratch and rewriting the entire pattern. If you're looking for something like this in a different yarn weight, I suggest using the Advanced Search Ravelry feature to find a different pattern in the gauge you're after.
Thank you. I appreciate your help.
Is there a link where I can buy the yarn ? I don't see the option on the website provided.
The links are all on my website, here is the direct link to the yarn:

Just out of curiosity, could you replace the three needle bind off with the kitchener stitch?
+SSgtTaylor96 - yes, that can be easily substituted.
Great insights but I wonder why not to use circulars on the sleves?!
If you have tiny circulars, or you use magic loop, you can knit them that way.
Thanks for this! One quick question - where did you get that cute little notions box that you used in the beginning of the video (to pull your tapestry needle from)?? I need one of those!
+scubadivider - here is a link, it looks like the pink color is no longer available:

+VeryPink Knits Thank you for this link. I purchased two, one for myself and one for my hubby and his guitar picks.
I made two for each of my grandkids. Now I need to make one for my 3 y/0 grandson. How will I calculate/adjust the pattern for my growing grandkids? Thanks
I don't recommend trying to resize the pattern unless you're really experienced with modifying patterns...it is easier to find a similar pattern on Ravelry that is sized for a 3 year old.
VeryPink Knits oh thank you for the advice. I’ll do look for similar ones then
what size is this pattern for? I'm looking for a easy pattern for a 4 year old boy.
You can click through to my website (link in the video description field) for more info, this pattern has sizes 0-12 months.
Great tutorial
Hi can the sleeve be knitted with circular needles instead of double pointed? I don't have a set of double pointed but I want to try this sweater.
Yes, you can use a circular needle and the magic loop method to knit any small tube instead of using dpns.
VeryPink Knits thank you

Would love to gift these to my granddaughter for Christmas. I will call my LYS to see if they carry Spud & Chloe! Do you mind if I ask the colorways you used for the hoodie and socks? Thanks,
+Deb Rouse - my finished sweater is in Flannel, and the pink color I used in demonstration is Rocket. The sock colorway I used is Neopolitan.
+VeryPink Knits, I was just going to ask the same question. Love this pattern and the colours. Bought it already, thank you!
Thanks so much!
How many chains
While I wait to win the needles drawing I'll watch all your sock videos, cuz I don't get how to do the heel!!
pink❤🥰
Is there a way to do the sleeves using the magic loop method or do I need to go ahead and order the dpn being that I don't have any. Thank you!
+flaca3398 - if you prefer using magic loop, you can always substitute it when DPNs are called for in a pattern.
+VeryPink Knits thank you for taking time to respond. Love your channel!
