I bought this pattern online, but following it was a complete nightmare (front panel). As I came to look for an alternative for the front panel, I stumbled on the video tutorial. Thanks a million for the video. It's a lifesaver!
FINISHED!!!! First project I made following a UA-cam video. THANK YOU!! My husband loves his (Bernat Baby sport yarn - grey) and my son now wants one too.
@@damienwilson8689 It was once you got past the first row of starting the cable pattern. You really need to pay attention to stitches and counts for the first row after the band. Once you have the first row set, you are good to go and the rest is easy peasy. I have made this in several different yarns and they all work up nicely. Give it a go, keep re-doing the first cable stitch row until you get the count right, and you won't be disappointed!
I recently started crocheting and I decided to make my boyfriend a sweater and he picked your pattern. I purchased it and the pattern + video were so helpful that even a beginner like me was able to make this beautiful cabled sweater! I just packed it away for him just in time for Christmas. I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand Pound of Love in Claret/Burgundy and it turned out beautifully. Thank you so much for your wonderful pattern and video!
I made this recently and had so many beautiful comments and people asking where to get the pattern! Of course I sent them here and told them of your wonderful tutorials and beautiful designs! I wish I could share my pic. It fit him perfectly and he absolutely loves it! Thank you MJ😊
Let's be careful on how we comment. There are new crocheters, and like myself I challenge myself. Being on the Spectrum and having ADHD, sometimes the comments are offensive, misleading, and discouraging. Keys humility, just because you have crocheted for years doesn't make you an expert, it makes you an advanced (what you do). Some people can't read the patterns, some can. Some can't follow the video, some can. Some can use both. Their is a community, meaning you are not alone. One thing I won't do is clout chase, but I will show respect. MJ gets that. Period. Don't throw shade, we know how to keep things lit.
Im so glad there are tutorials for mens clothing. Im gonna crotchet this for my brother for his birthday. He's a tall skinny dude and finding affordable quality clothing is near impossible here. He always needs to new clothes 🙈 Thanks for the tutorial :D
My name is Donna, and I have crocheted over 40 years. Until I found your tutorials had never attempted cables but you made them so easy! I didn't have much luck with sweaters either. And this is the 2nd Christmas that I have made sweaters with cables for my family and friends! Thank you so much for putting these tutorials out here! Now to master socks!!
I'm currently working on this. My husband has sensitive skin so I opted to use bernat velvet and used a 3.25 mm and 3.75mm hook to obtain the correct gage since the yarn is a 5 bulky. We live in Texas so it's not so the acrylic yarn will be fine for warmth. Its working up beautifully! Thank you so much for the video!
So excited, finally another men's sweater tutorial! For so long I searched for an easy pattern to make a sweater for my husband, but couldn't find a video. I read some patterns but am better following visually. This was so easy to follow and gorgeously done. THANK YOU SO MUCH can't wait to make him a sweater for his birthday, and Christmas, and everyday wear lol.
This is my first attempt to make a men's sweater,at first it was a little difficult but now I am getting the hang of it ...wish I could share the pic here...tyvm for such a lovely pattern ❤❤
I finished one in charcoal black, 100% Merino, size L for my Dad's 70th birthday and it looks amazing. Unfortunately can't comment with a photo. Thank you very much for the tutorial!
Thank you so much!!! After watching your video, I felt for the first time in life that I too can try making a sweater. The pattern is beautiful and you have showed it so elaborately and in simpe terms, I loved it😍
MY HUSBAND AND I WENT YARN SHOPPING. HE PICKED YARN AND COLOR HE LIKED. HALF WAY THROUGH THIS SWEATER ALREADY. FUN AND EASY TO FOLLOW. PURCHASED PATTERN TO SEND TO MY MOM. ALSO, MAKING ONE FOR MY DAD AND MY SON. ALREADY CHECKING OUT SWEATER PATTERNS FOR MY GIRLS TOO. YAAY! HOLIDAY SHOPPING COMPLETE! THANKS AGAIN MJ!
Thank you so much for such detailed instructions. I was able to make 3 of these sweaters as Christmas presents. I had tried a previous instructional video and it wasn’t clear enough. You are Awesome!
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely pattern. I'm now half way through a version of this for my husband. Your instructions are very easy to follow and it's a pleasure working the design. You rock!
Thank you so much, this was sooo helpfull, I was having a hard time reading cable sweater patters but because of you my sweater is looking so good,I can't believe I made it 😂. Thank you ❤️ 😊 💖 ♥️ 💗
I'm making the M sweater for dad and purchased the ravelry pattern today! ! thanks for the tutorial!. I love the green you're using and your nail polish color too!
That’s to kind of you for such a detailed clip! Amazing n great artistic work! If possible could u please make a video on dog sweater! Coz this is gonna be useful n helpful for all the pet lover n pets to be warm this winter! God bless!
Thanks alot for sharing this beautiful work i flowed your explanation and made one Ispeak arabic but I understan every word you have said please we need more stitches for mem
Thank you for so much for this amazing tutorial. ❤️ Is there any crocheters from UK please what yarn do you recommend please and how many balls of yarn is needed. Many thanks in advance 🙏🏻🌹
I really love this dad's sweater a d i'm making one for my son in law.The only problem i will face is that he is a small size and i don't know how to adjust with the measurements.I have already started the cabling and i'm using one hook number snaller than yours.I do hope the size will be smaller.Many thanks for your tutorials and explanations are very explicit😘😘😘
omg..ma'am you just got me off-guard with those hooks thank you so much for putting the link of them ..i need to save money so i can buy myself all the nice ones. all are nice and precious pieces of art.yes the one in your hand as well
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!! I have been crocheting this for myself, but despite using the same number of stitches, the back panel is way larger than the front panel. Is this normal?
Hi MJ.... I purchased you pattern that brought me to your video....what a most WONDERFUL bonus to have a video, also. THANK YOU !!! I was looking for the perfect sweater style for my husband for YEARS and he easily APPROVED your design, he is a creative and well dressed man, all by himself, so I needed his approval.....he even decided on Caron Soft TWEED and we are both stoked to get started. I appreciate your measurement chest chart in pdf, TONS !!! I am a large hook girl, crocheting since 4th grade, have enjoyed the J hook as my smallest hook but LoVE K and L and M....soooo for your creation, I will give the G and H a gooooo, using Caron TWEED, if I do not get the correct gage due to my crochet tension, do you think your creation will work up if a J hook gives me the correct gage? Thank you for your assist.
I am almost done with the sweater, you do a great job...but could you please be more clear about what is the right side and what is the wrong side? It's obvious on the front panel, but for the back and the sleeves, I just can't tell! lol.
Back panel is curving a bit as I work HDC rows. Bottom band is a bit narrower. The sides are straight and number of stitches per row are the same- 100 for xl. Will blocking correct this
Amazing pattern & very well explained. Excellent job. Thank you so much for sharing. Really appreciate. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Also requesting you to make a men’s cable cardigan 😊
Hi MJ, I am following along with your pattern and need to use a 4mm hook on 8ply (what I think is worsted weight, I am from Australia and don't have yarn labelled as worsted, just in plys) on the band for the front and back of the jumper. I'd just like to know if the band needs to have an even number of stitches or a certain measurement length ways, as my band is looking rather short at the half way point for the small size jumper. Thank you 🙂
Great tutorial, I have a question though, are the panels supposed to get wider with every row of stitches? This is my first time, and it's getting wider with each rows I've done. Thanks :)
Hi MJ.....I mafe this sweater and it is gorgeous. Made it as a gift for my brother. Thank you for the pattern and tutorial. Btw.....what is the name of your nail polish?........Gorgeous!!!!
Nice sweater. One question though , my understanding is blocking a crochet piece won't stay after washing so what's the purpose of blocking here ? Thanks for your time and tutorial ☺️
@@mjsoffthehookI used acrylic and washed on wool setting.The jumper turned out floppy and the neck totally out of shape.Any advice for future? I'm in the UK
Hi, thank you for sharing this. Now I'm in the making of the front neck. But I found the front panel is shorter than the back. Should I add more rows or just seam them together one row by another?
This is such a gorgeous sweater but I am making a small. I have 76 stitches and when I followed the tutorial on her website, I got the cables and didn't have enough to mirror the other side. Okay, so I tore it out and redid it, making sure I had 76 stitches. HDC 5 stitches and followed along with the video with better cables but for some reason I am still short on stitches! I dont understand, I am following along and making sure to put the right stitch where it shows in the video and as in the website but it comes short! Somebody! Help!
I'm having this issue as well making a large. I'm running out of space on my work for number of stitches I need. I've been working on modifying it, no success yet.

Hii
Kuch baat karna tha
Superb. The collar is so special. Wonderful. Please tell how to shape this neck for the same size. But i want to knit. I don't know crocheting.
Thank you for this tutorial, the sweat is cool
Thanks for the tutorial.
I m making this for my husband as a gift.
Can u pls tell how much yarn would be required to make a M size sweater
its lovely neck design ..... but i started attatching it 2 stitches before ... that gives a better shape at end
My neck band didn't turn out nice.Seemed too long.Any advice?
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!! I have been crocheting this for myself, but despite using the same number of stitches, the back panel is way larger than the front panel. Is this normal?
Excellent
Thank you very much for such a wonderful pattern. I had a query. Is it okay if I skip the blocking step. I find it tedious.
Hi thank you for the video. ❤️❤️ can you please tell me what color this sweater is???

What is the right measurement for large I really love this pattern and would love to make for my husband
This is pretty
Thank you!❤😊
Beautiful

Yes, blocking should fix it. I’m not sure what you mean by it’s curving if the sides are straight.

Great tutorial, I have a question though, are the panels supposed to get wider with every row of stitches? This is my first time, and it's getting wider with each rows I've done. Thanks :)
Magnifique. Merci. 🌺
Hiii, im making one for my dad but it seems that it has holes on the pattern is this normal?
Hi MJ.....I mafe this sweater and it is gorgeous. Made it as a gift for my brother. Thank you for the pattern and tutorial.
Btw.....what is the name of your nail polish?........Gorgeous!!!!
Is the measurements of gauge after blocking is done? Or before blocking?
Hi there I’ve never crocheted before do you think I could make this with my first try?
Aaron how are you doing? That’s Aaron right? Yeah with beard.
I just haven’t seen you guys for a long time.
how many grams of wool did you use for a medium size? Thank you
Very nice sweater! But I'm just curious what stich is in your pink sweater on the 40:22 sec?😊
Nice sweater. One question though , my understanding is blocking a crochet piece won't stay after washing so what's the purpose of blocking here ? Thanks for your time and tutorial ☺️
You don’t have to block then. When caring for crocheted items, after you wash it you should always block it back to size again.
@@mjsoffthehook thank you 😊
@@mjsoffthehookI used acrylic and washed on wool setting.The jumper turned out floppy and the neck totally out of shape.Any advice for future? I'm in the UK
Did you give details on making the back of the sweater?
While crochet gauge, is it fine if there are gaps in between every stitches but got the correct no. Of stitches in gauge?
Hi, thank you for sharing this. Now I'm in the making of the front neck. But I found the front panel is shorter than the back. Should I add more rows or just seam them together one row by another?
I found my stitch at the back panel is looser than the front.
How should I fix it without frogging it all😱?
Lovely!!! Thank you!!!
