If you think I can help you with your knitting ask me a questions here it may give me an idea for my future video - you can use this method of caluclating stitches and rounds but also switching it around and from drawing your own sweater and measurements you can get info how many sts you need for a certain gauge
hiii video is very helpful, i hv a little doubt about casting stitches, how can i decide that how many stitches should i cast on for neck(for top to down reglan) or for hip area(down to up reglan) according to body size?
@@sanhitasoubharisharma6924 Easiest way is to cast on knit a few rounds. Put sts on hold on waist yarn. Soak that little piece, dry and try it on. Collars have a tendency to stretch (due to holding the weight of the sweater) so maybe knit with smaller knitting needles
Hello! Currently knitting my first top down raglan sweater. Please could you let me know what method you used to change colours? Do you change at the beginning of the round and on an increase round or knit round? I've watched tutorials on how to do a jogless change but not sure how to incorporate it into a raglan sweater. Thank you!
@@kelbyenglish4329 you can totally do it at the beginning of the round & use the lift first stitch of last colour round (I presume you are knitting in the round) when you finish first round of new colour
Thanks for your quick responded. How appreciated . The reason I asked for help with Bottom Up because the design I wanted to use is one way going up if I use Top Down my design will be upside down. I’m trying to use the Flax pattern by reversing the pattern I’m not sure it will work. Majority of the bottom up tutorial are showing how to attached sleeves and no mention of how to start . Yours are so clear. Thanks a lot👏
OMG - you're doing that THING I learned in 11th grade with your 4-quadrant calculation: Mr Carter drilled it into us - "cross-multiply by the reciprocal to find the variable!!" Who knew it would keep coming up in Real Life. Helpful video - thanks.
💕😅 Well at least you know how it’s called. I learned it to get percentage at school but unfortunately I didn’t follow teacher’s formula even though I was getting results right 😅💕 It will also work for calculating yardage compared to grams or even sts knit
Thank you. I needed this explanation! I hope you had a Merry 2022. Happy New Year 2023.
Thank you so much for the clear explanation. One of the best and clearest video I have watched.
I’m glad you like it. It’s very helpful to know it. I used this formula to guess how much yarn I’ll need for the project in my Lights and Twigs show it’s in the pattern. I might record video about it.
Wow I love to knit a very hard patterns but always followed the gauge. With your explanation I can use any yarn and different gauge to my sweater. Very long but very detailed so it will be the same pattern but different gauge. Great thanks so much 🥰
Beautiful sweater!! I'm a newer knitter. I want to knit my Grandkids a sweater. 10, 7, 6 and 4 yrs old.
Thank you so much for the clear explanation.😊❤
Awesome love the assistance of your help in changing the type fingering to DK weight or whatever you need to do. VERY helpful for me. Thanks for your patience.
Love the sweater you are wearing. Your design? Can I see a full picture?
Thank you ☺️ The sweater I’m wearing is not my design but a friend from Canada. I have a finished object about it in playlist sweater and link there to the project page and from there you will find her pattern. Have fun Its fingering weight.
Good tutorial ❤
Glad you think so!
Excellent video! Thank you. I have often had wool I like, a pattern I like but they don’t match and had no idea how to resolve. After this I can! Yay! Brilliant 👏
Glad it was helpful!
Tou did amazing explaining how to knit a sweater. Thanks!
Peggy Bork Thank you 💕
Love this - thank you! Clearly explained and demonstrated.
Gostaria muito de aprender,mais complicado de entender obrigada ,
Thank you so much for this video and all the detailed explanations and all the effort. Now I have more confidence to tackle my first sweater. Gauge is such a big deal, and so hard to achieve whenever trying to follow a pattern with the yarn in your stash. Thank you and your mom for the cris-cross method.
Glad it was helpful
You are great teacher 😊👍! Can you do wishbone sweter tutorial🙏?
Thank you 😊♥️ Designer has a tutorial check my episode 12 where you will find in video description link to her video. Im actually uploading ep 13 where I might put the link there too. I still need to knit sleeves 🧶
That is great! I am knitting my first colorwork sweater (it is more like a dress actually), from sport yarn to fingering yarn. I calculated the stiches the same way you did, and I have also noticed that I could knit a size M to get a size XS. It made my life so much easier!!
Cristina Procaccini Brilliant, I think my calculations cover the smallest size in the pattern but I didn’t check all numbers 💕
Perfect explanation, just what I needed. Thank you
Thank You 😊 I’m happy you like it
Knitting from neck downward all in one piece. Thank you.
Hai Barbara, could you please explain how to increase the yoke.? Cause I don’t understand and I preferensi the knit all around as yours.
I’m not sure do I understand correctly. You are asking about any type of increases like make 1 or backloop cast on stitch or yarn over increase ???
Amazing tutorial. First of all i was charmed by every color in the video. Your eye colour, sweater color andd mini sweater cuty color
Thank You 😊
hello thank u for sharing such a important information with us this help me vry much but now i want to know how neckline is knitted means front looking
Thank you for this tutorial
Happy you enjoyed it 😊♥️
This is an amazing video
Anna Salvamoser-Goldberg Thank You so much 😊💕
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
🙏 Thank you so much!
I’m happy you like it
This presentation is very good 👍👌
❤️ Thank I tried my best ☺️
Thank you so much the math actually makes sense to me now
Will you please make a video of Bottom Up Ragland sweater in the thinner yarn the used a 4mm needle. I can't use larger needle caused my hand a lot of pain.Thanks. By the way this Flax sweater the neck is high, How do I make it down lower?
3 years after the original posting of this video and it's still one of the best explanations on UA-cam! Thank you 🌞
Thank you :)
I loved this one Barbara, very good! Could you make one explaining how to create a pattern yourself, how to figure out the numbers, create charts, write the pattern etc..... ;-) xx
Edelweiss Spinster I probably will just need to design a few successful sweater patterns myself first 💕
@@Knittingilove I'm sure you will! ;-) xx
Bello,bello,bellísimo milagro I found you
Thank you for this amazing lesson! I want to make the sweater but I want a looser neckline than in the pattern. How do I recalculate the pattern for a more open neckline like yours? Thank you!
You either can take bigger size of knitting needles to get it slightly loose or cast on more stitches
@@KnittingiloveThank you! If I cast on more stitches, do I need to recalculate where the raglan increases happen?
@@kimmykim417 Yes, but as your collar will have more sts you just check the number of the reglan increase in a few rounds ahead and see which round matches your number and where the stitch markers are placed so you can put it there. Think of it as if you took scissors and cut the collar to make it wider so you just took that much away. In this case you make collar wider without changing the size of the sweater you want to knit. 🧶
Bless you !@@Knittingilove
Dank je
Gern geschehen 🥰
Nu kan ik eindelijk mijn trui breien
What's the calculation for under arm stitches,like you said its 8 stitches in each side, any math for that? Why not increase the yoke to 16 stitches ,I mean for chest contour?
I presume the no. Of sts for the yoke equals the chest measurement but as we need extra sts to lift arms up they add that amount under arms. That’s make sense?
Thank you for making this helpful video. I was looking for information on how to calculate or problem solve the raglan increase part. But couldn't find it in the video. My pattern says: Gauge 10 sts, 16 rows. My Gauge says 19 sts, 22 rows. So, the proportions are quite different. If I calculate everything, I don’t have enough rounds for all the necessary increases. I need more round but if I would make more rounds, then the upper part of the body would become way too long. I can only make 8 increases per round right? What to do? Please help!
Please double check is the pattern telling you that the gauge is in 4 inch or 2 inch first. Sounds right but also you could try to make more decreases per round and see. I think with that gauge it will knit up pretty fast.

Since the Flax sweater comes in both Worsted and Sock weight patterns, could you take the sts from the regular Flax minus the sts for the Light Flax, divide them by two and add them to the sts for the regular Flax to get DK weight?
I tried to do that with your calculations and ended up with only 2 sts more than you for the cast-on.
I here this for the first time. I don’t know 😅💕
❤💖💖💖❤
Thank you so much that was a brilliant tutorial I’ve learnt so much and I’m going to have a go and do my own calculations the only thing I don’t know is how to work out the calculation stitches to cast on under the arm could you please tell me how to do that Thank you again waiting for your reply
I presume you are referring to sts that are casted on when we separate for body & sleeves ? Well I believe you can add sts there to make that 1 inch (2.5 cm) positive ease over there or even more just remember these will be for sleeves & later when you pick up for body
Hi yes in the schematic there were eight stitches that were Cast on so you recommend 1 inch worth of stitches to cast on would be fine have I got have understood that correct
@@ranijhumat9601 yes minimum but you can have more depends of a sleeves or body style - most important have enough sts for your arm circumference + 1 inch for movement
I wanted to know how to work out the formula when I want to change a pattern for my own gauge Really love the way you explain to meand excited to do my own
@@ranijhumat9601 I am here if you need me. I am happy I could help
Hi when I did the calculations followed your maths I came up with 84 stitches am I making a mistake ? your maths says cast on 80 front & back 26 arms 16+16 Waiting to hear from you
Do you have a tutorial for flat knitting calculating a raglan from bottom up?
No, I dont made it yet 😊
How can I download this pattern for an 7 yrs
any tips for raglan round (top down) decrease part? when i get to the armholes and the decrease lines are not matching, they goes round too
( instead of this / \, they go like this / /) i dont know what im doing wrong. pls help. im lost 🥴
First of all if you are knitting top down you are increasing (adding stitches) from neckline to the bust/chest+sleeves part. The way you are increasing is important. You either increase to the left or right to get \ (M1L) or / (M1R) [or other types of increases leaning certain way. When you knitting bottom up you will decrease to get \ (Ssk) to / (k2tog). The increase ratio will depend of your Rnd gauge to get perfect lengths but most cases you increase in body, sleeves & back section at the same time - I hope this make sense
@@Knittingilove you’re right, it makes sense to me now.. i think im too focused on following the pattern that i dont see im increasing in the left side only.. that’s why it’s leaning on the left side too.. thank you so much for helping me 😊😘
@@Mai_Tehey My tip is to see each section as a growing V - that way I know where to increase on the left or right so that the stitches lean that way. I also had difficulty to understand it in my first sweater. I'm here if you need me
@@Knittingilove thank you so much.. im learning a lot from your videos 🥰🥰🥰
Can you show your mattress cover? Who crochet it?
Brigita Kurnik That is a brilliant idea 💕 I might do it after my hats video. 💕😊 I need to ask only the maker for more info to share it with you all 💕
Can you give me cardigan pattern front opening for a two and a half year old baby boy.
Have you tried ravelry? There's lots of free patterns available.
Love the one you have on are there a pattern for that?
Yes there is. If you could only go to my playlist SWEATERS and under the video with this sweater there is a link to the pattern - designer is from Canada 🇨🇦
