It makes such a difference to be taught by experts!
Thank you!
I watched your blocking video after taking a Kristen Myrmel Norwegian sweater class (she included the link with her instructions) and I saw your beautiful armhole facings...so happy you are sharing that here today...I did not realize it was machine sewn.
❤️
I’m always amazed at how easy you make everything look it encourages me to keep trying new knitting projects😉
We are very glad to hear that!
Hi. My 10 year old girl just watching this video. She just crochet her first Barbie doll clothes yesterday. She has had an interest in knitting a sweater for some time. So hopefully in my lifetime she does complete a sweater. I love watching your videos. We live in Alaska.
You two create tutorials like no other. I bought yarn yesterday to try the granny square scarf. Still not sure on the joining but I'm going to try. Thank you again.
You are welcome!
I’m going to try this today! I have teo sleeves to steek and sew on the first Norwegian Setesdal style sweater I’ve made, Thank you for a thorough tutorial- fingers crossed for a good finish,
You are welcome and good luck with your steeking!
This has encouraged me to make a sweater. I now know I can knit a facing on the sleeve itself to cover the raw edges of the sleeve opening on the body of the sweater.
That is great to hear!
Thank you so much! This is just the video I was looking for as I’m about to finish my first Setesdal sweater 🙏🏻
You are welcome!
I'm so glad to have access to all of the tutorials you have done! I am especially happy to see this as I am fairly new to knitting! I almost screamed when you cut the fabric! and was greatly reassured when you kept calmly explained how safe it was because of the preparation you had done! Arne, you make everything seem so simple and I feel encouraged to try to make a cardigan. Thank you to you both for trying to keep everything simple. I appreciate you both, Rosa Nance
Thank you Rosa, we are glad that you find them useful. Steeking is not as scary as it seems!
Thank you so much. I am new to steeking, and your tutorial was so very helpful. As an aside, I have about 1/2 of the Redd Barna completed. Love the pattern!!!
We are glad you found it helpful!
wow, you managed to make something that scares the life out of me look really easy!! Thanks guys xx
Ditto
So enjoyable to watch these pleasant men teach so many techniques that are so important. Love the two of you.
It IS stunning ❤❤❤. Thank you!
LOVE THE WAY you both explain in details every thing you show us how to do it THANK YOU !!! I enjoy watching your videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are welcome!
I really enjoyed watching this it is brilliant, thank you.
You are welcome
Thank you for sharing this 💛
I really got a tonne of knowledge from these tutorial videos! I'm thrilled to be able to "custom fit" a garment to someone now as opposed to having to increase and decrease and then it doesn't fit my husband because he's tall. 6'4" and I have to alter all the patterns and this just works so much better! No more guessing games trying to fit and tailor.
I always imagined steeking to be a terrifying experience but this makes it look very simple. Thank you!
Give it a go, it is not as difficult as people think!
Yes, I can do this! It'll be my FIRST sweater.
hey guys... I only know basic knitting . but I enjoy watching you to see the process... waiting for the next part....
This is amazing I was so nervous when you cut into the body to put the sleeve in. Great video as always, I'm off to watch part 2 😃
Have fun!
I'm very impressed with this cardigan! I'll have to try this technique. I have so many projects, I'm having a problem with getting them all done! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you!
Im already learning and the video just started. Measuring the chest. I NEVER thought I'd need any of the information on the yarn band except the yardage. Mind blown. They figured out how many stitches and rounds of stitches his cardigan would be! Just like that! Like I said, Mind Blown
I ended up on this video because Kate (Last Homely House) mentioned Steeking in her last video. I couldn't quite get my head around that concept so I immediately thought - Arne and Carlos must've done one on this and Voila!! I feel better now.
😍
Awesome video! I love how you do the sleeve facing to hide the steeked edges.
OMG, this is so clever. Thanks for the tutorial. Will do this in the sweatshirt I'm knitting now.
Glad it was useful for you! This is part of a series so make sure you catch them all.
Hi guys I came across your video tutorials and have to say I was so impressed by your teaching that I have to described. I have never known how to work out the amount of stitches and rows for custom made garment but thanks to you now I know
Hi Cynthia! Thank you for subscribing and welcome ti our channel!
It is really nice watching with the lake in the background!
So glad I stumbled onto your video’s can’t wait to make a cardigan! Thank you both!
Welcome to our channel Laurie!
Arne & Carlos would you consider adding a tutorial about different methods of picking up stitches for different yarn weights and garments?
Such as picking up on horizontal edge, vertical edge, curved edge, any topstitching methods where a strong clean line is important, and different considerations for bulky yarns?
The perfect neckband continues to elude me. Thank you as always for sharing your knowledge!
It's only lately I heard the term, Steeking, and wondered what the heck,, now I know, thank you, will give it a go & I do like the procedure and making the facing on shoulder seams. Thanks
What a wonderful technique. I don’t think I would be comfortable in cutting through the knitting. Maybe one day I will be confident enough. 😊
It is a lot easier than you think, just follow the series step by step❤
Arne, you knit and sew so beautifully!
Thank you Susan!
An excellent tutorial....thank you! The view from your window is absolutely stunning:)
Love you fellows!💕💕💕would love yo come to Norway and “stay -cation” for a bit. Hugs!
Arne is a kick! Carlos straight serious but sweet!
Highly organized and fun!
Impressive! I loved the way to do it! I used to do decreeasing and increasing like old style, but it its easier! I will practice in my new proyect! Thanks a lot, greetings from Mexico!
Wow, I have never seen a sweather worked this way. You are very brave. Love the yarn. My yarn shop carried a lot of your yarns. I am hooked. Would love to see you come to Nova Scotia😊
Love our yarns. Will watch all videos on making sweater Norwegian method, and then locate yarns online. Fabulous!!
WOW AWESOME 👏👏👏👏👏🙏❤️🍾🥂
wonderful video!!! thank your for your help!! i love knit sweaters that I receive from my grandmother and would like to become good and give to others!
You two are amazing! I found your channel today and I love you guys!! I'm so glad you make these videos!! Thank you!!!
That makes such a beautiful finish. I could not wrap my mind around cutting a swatch through knitting. But seeing how this is done makes total sense. Beautiful way to seam and not have seams on the side. And your yarn creates that pattern? I think I could do this! On to part 2.
Have fun and yes, you can do it Tina!
You two guys are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!
just did my first armhole steeks. thanks for the easy to follow instructions
Brilliant!!
Thank you!
oh wow, mind blown 😲❤
Thank you this was very interesting never thought of using my sewing machine
Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Mexico😊
Very nice
Thank you Eastlyn.
Merci beaucoup Arne et Carlos pour la vidéo (Paris, France)
Wow, that's how you do it Thanks for taking the time to educate
It's tempting to try this, I was wondering last week how you would sew a knitted item. Then I came across this video
I just discovered you late last night. I love the way you present your videos. Don't worry about inches or finding the correct word in English (American); we understand perfectly. I love the look of your yarns. I'm working on a sweater right now and will definitely try out your socks. Maybe in the future you could offer a workshop. It would be awesome to learn and stitch with you in person.
If you can find Elizabeth Zimmerman’s book Knitting Without Tears - that might help.
I’m a big fan of both of you. I’ve been knitting off and on since I was a teenager. After watching your UA-cam videos, I have been inspired to take another go at knitting a sweater for myself. Previous attempts have been epic fails for various reasons: poor fit, saggy yarn. It was discouraging to invest considerable time and materials and not have a good result. Do you have a favorite beginner pattern or set of instructions?
Excellent video!!! ❤️🐑👏🏼🐑❤️
Thank you so much Arne, great work. I love your Videos and tow of you .
Greetings from Zurich.
Thank you Christin!
So good to see someone doing that! I would be terrified to cut into weeks of blood sweat and tears!
It is not as scary as it looks!
Arne is the real thing!
Great and thorough demonstration as always.
Thank you!
Great video. Nice and succinct. I use the very same Bernina 801 sewing machine as you do. Approx 35 yrs old and works great.
A&C that is amazing.The horse in the Window is very beautiful xoxo
Love your sewing machine. I also have a Bernina 830! Wonderful workhorse of a sew8ng machine!
It is great.
wow you make this look so easy thank you
Beautiful thank you. :)
You are welcome!
Absolutely brilliant!! Thanks guys! Tusen Takk!!
Thank you. Ive learned a new method.👏😃
I love your VIDEOS!!💜
Don’t you have to complete the first flower then join the second flower to the first flower, then continue with the rest of your flowers. I am going to enjoy doing this blanket. Regards from New Zealand.
Hi Mary, thank you for your comment. We attach them afterwards, not as we go along
You guys rock ! 👍🏻Love your videos
Suzi Q i
omg... you two are so adorable... love your videos...xx
This was very informative!
Good to hear!
Got you, Carlos, ha! I saw you knit (while Arne was sowing the sleeve in) the english way!! Was there a special reason for? Just teasing! Love you both so much.
😀❤️
U both are great artist
Like the wool
Your work and your videos are so great. Thank you . For a woman because of the measure of the chest would you make a cardigan the same way? Thanks. Carla
I will admit watching you guys cut the knit after sowing it almost made me panic! deep breaths
Dear Arne and Carlos, Could please let me know where in the US I could purchase the colorful yarn you've use to make the cardigan. I have looked everywhere. I would like to make a cardigan with the red color varigated yarn. Love your videos. You two have such great passion with the work and it shows in the video instructions. Thank you.
I think you can only purchase it on line from their shop. I’ve asked knit shops in my area of Michigan and they all order it from them.
I know there is a store that sells some of their yarn here in Colorado called The Wooden Spool and they do have online purchases available to anywhere
Clever
Thanks!
Thank you so much for supporting us!
You guys make it look so easy! Is this an actual pattern or just knit to size based on the guage?
Hi - thanks for the video. Lovely garment. Just one question, did your sleeve have any shaping? It looks like you just knit a tube without shoulder shaping.
I would love to have a handmade Arne & Carlos sweater. I wear an xl. Please send to Gemlik where I might never need it since it hasn't snowed here in a couple of yrs, but I will wear it anyway. 💙💙💙
😀😀
Thank you! I keep seeing cut steeks for necklines, cardigans, and armholes, but so far, had not actually seen how the armhole was handled. WOW! One question, will this method work for non-wool (sticky) yarn for instance, acrylic, or cotton?
You will just have to try, it is hard to give reccomendations when we have not seen the yarn.
Thank you for showing me how.
You are welcome Blase!
Just came across this video - wow, you were so much ahead of time with your T-shirt, Carlos. A man wearing a face mask! Who would have known, that not much later, we all are wearing masks!
Psychic😂
Sorry, one more question. How did you increased stichs on the sleeve? Thank you. Carla
This video helped me a lot! I only have on question. When I hid the seam with my facing, there was so much garment that the sweater got very bulky. Is there something to do about it?
Thank you for this video. But, I have to think that there are some increases along the way?
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
so interesting. I am wondering how to measure for a woman....around the largest area of the chest? then would there be decreasing or increasing? is there decreasing/increasing on the sleeves? I want to try this.
Do you have to add extra stitches in for the steak?
Thank you! Do you ever steek your knittings?
If the waist is a larger measurement than the chest, do i take the waist measurement instead for the width of the cardigan
Won---DER---FULL! :)
Thank you William!
Hello, this is a excellent method for a sweater, but I would like to do a crew neck sweater and not a cardigan. How do you go about measuring the opening for the neck and calculating the rib? Thanks
Can a garment be made smaller using this technique
How do you know how many stitches to increase in the sleeves
How did you decide the length of the sleeve is since it seems it would be longer the the arm of the person as you bring it up to the shoulder.
What if you have a pullover that you bought in a store but think it would look better as a cardigan. Can it be steeked?
If you are making an added stitch steek for a Fairisle sweater have you ever knitted a garment with a buttonhole steek. Say you make a two stitch buttonhole on one of the fronts, can you also make a two stitch buttonhole on the steek so that when you turn the steek into the garment the buttonholes correspond. I.e. there is no button band as such , just a faced front. Hope you can understand what I mean !
Would be a help to know if this does work out . Obviously you couldn"t do it with very thick yarn.
Best wishes, Angie
Thank you for sharing Angela!
