Been crochetting for like 3 months as a self taught man. Started with smaller things and my friends kid has been acting as my 3yr old geunie pig😂 This has been my first sized sweater - which the whole ides was, to make my own - and I loved the challenge of figuring out the stitch, but now I'm almost at joining for the bottom halves, and I'm almost blind stitching. Really GREAT video and tutorial! Thank you!
I just bought this pattern, my first pattern purchase ever, to make for a Christmas gift for my husband. I will refer to this video to make sure I’m doing it right
I have just made this jumper for my husband and it turned out great! Thank you for this wonderful pattern and tutorial video. I’m still very new to crochet but this pattern has boosted my confidence to trying out more garments. For anyone wanting to substitute yarn - I used 100% wool that matched the weight/ply specified on the pattern and did a gauge swatch. I had to go up 1 hook size to meet gauge for the larger and smaller hooks. The fit was really good, I only needed to lengthen the arms. I live in New Zealand so I have to substitute yarns as we only get limited varieties here.
I can't wait to make this! I've purchased your pattern....but I haven't finished my last MJ's project yet.....but I see this as xmas gifts for this year!!!! THANK YOU!
I read that your daughter just moved out? MJ!! You are not old enough to be the Mother of a person that old!😳🤯‼️ The young man in the photo is also your Son? No. Way. (I’m literally stunned at how young you look!🩷)
@@mjsoffthehook I’m just blown away! You are so talented and beautiful. I hope you are able to continue doing what you love. I can remember when I first learned about you and now you have grown so much and are sharing so many wonderful crochet designs. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. (I think this video is the first one I’ve commented on. I’m not one who comments much but I did want to let you know how much I appreciate your hard work and designs. You are extremely talented!)
Lovely pattern, thank you, I can't wait to make it! 😊 Quick query -after we use the 4.0mm hook to make the 4 chains for each armhole do we change back to the 4.5mm hook to complete the body before the bottom ribbing?
Thanks for this pattern and the tutorial. I was able to complete my sweater with very little difficulty (and minimal unravelling)! And the Mary Maxim Natural Alpaca is perfect for this project.
Love the pattern! Think I might make this for my dad. I have nothing against people using acrylic, but I think it's kinda wild a company can call their yarn "natural alpaca" when it's 77% acrylic and 20% alpace.
MJ! I was so excited to see your newsletter in my email this morning! I’d wondered what happened. Technology can be our best friend but sometimes it rears its ugly head! What a beautiful sweater you have designed and I cannot wait to hook it! Your models shown in the intro of this video & your email (you included) look fantastic in your design. I’m really looking forward to this! Thank you so much!
I have been searching for a pattern that would work for my husband and this is perfect! Approximately how long did it take you to complete? Seeing if I can manage to finish by mid-february lol.
Hi the aran/worsted weight yarn I've bought says to use a size 5mm hook, I've used the 4mm on the collar as said in the video but its really tight so do I go up a hook size or do I loosen my tension?
Hi MJ! How much yarn did it take to make this sweater? I am very intimidated to attempt this one. It is so gorgeous. I definitely understand the stitches but I am worried about the increasing and decreasing. And the lengths.
Hi I'm making this right now and loving it so far. Just got to where you close up under the armpits but you didn't say what we do when we finish a round. Is it slip stitch, and chain 2? Mine is looking wonky :(
In your pic wearing this gorgeous sweater it looks a little large on you. What size do you typically wear? Love, love, love it, have the Brava Tweed yarn and just starting it!!
I’m currently making this for myself and I’m wondering after connecting the arms and we get to the end of round 2 do we slip stitch in the chain 1 from the previous row or the post stitch?
Hi MJ. I made this crochet sweater for my son (1st time crocheting a sweater). The sweater is complete but with a slight glitch. ...... it's too big!! My son's size is medium but I ended up making an extra large. It's too big from the sleeves, armpits and torso down. How do I fix this?? Someone suggested shrinking it in the washing machine but I'm too afraid to do that in case it shortens the length 😕. Please help
This sweater is so pretty. Could you please recommend a different yarn to make it in?? I can't wear anything in alpaca or wool anymore. Thanks MJ!! 👸💜🐈
i had this same issue: the rest of the sweater fits perfect but the collar is massive on my boyfriend. i’m not sure how she got her collar to fit normally. i’m going to try blocking it to see if it makes any difference.
I've begun this amazing sweater for a friend. Could I ask what size you made for your husband? I'm debating between large/extra large - I believe they are similar sized. Thank you!!
Hola buenos días quisiera tejer el suéter es para mi hijo se me hace un poco difícil en la parte donde van las v cuando hay que hacer nuevos cordones como puedo comprar el patrón
Can you please show a slower paced video version of doing the connecting stitches ( the V stitches). I’m a novice that bought the pattern and not familiar with making clothing. This will be a holiday gift so I want to be sure I do this right. Edit to add, I tried slowing the video down to .25 but it was difficult to see the stitches you were working on. Second edit. The written instructions specify that in every V stitch ( I’m on Round 2), there needs to be a V stitch. I think this is where I’m messing up. Since the V stitches are hard to see, noting there should be 4 V stitches in that round would help people remember to not forget those.
when you list the crochet hooks what is the 6 and 7 beside the hook sizes G and G+? Not sure why my rib is so thick and tight. Wondering if I should use bigger hook sizes? I made the girls granny stitch cardigans and they came out perfect! I appreciate your tutorials, thank you for posting them.
I used a 4mm and a 4.5mm crochet hook. I do not go by the letters since different crochet hook companies label them differently. The G/6 if just from a standard chart conversion sheet I do not know what the numbers stand for.
Can you use single crochet instead of double if you want less gaping so it’s not see through? Would it change the stitch count too or just the height and take longer to finish?
its 28 rounds for mens size large. if you go to MJ off the hook blog page the written pattern is there for size female and Male xs to 5x I follow both the video and the written pattern and it is turning out really well .( making mens size large for my husband )
Yes, I ran into this also. I even drew the 16 stitches on paper, marking 2 for dc and 2 for fpdc and still came up with ending on 2 fpdc before the next v stitch. Did you figure it out, or just go with it? Looking at photos from other's, it looks like they just went with it as written in the pattern vs the tutorial.
I figured it out! Went back and slowed the video down to .25 and you can see where she pushes the 2nd stitch of the v stitch aside to put the hook in the first loop of the 2nd dc v stitch of the first row. As I resumed the video, she does make note of this after the 2nd v stitch when going into the first section of 32 stitches.
She’s definitely not going to answer this question because she doesn’t want you to figure out your own measurements. She wants you to purchase her over priced written pattern 🙄
Me-already toggling between three crochet projects
To myself- Welp I need to go yarn shopping tonight so I can make this

I have a question. Do you think it’s possible to steek the sweater?
Is it possible to size it for a kid?
Sorry for sounding stupid but would Aran work with this the reason I ask is my hubby had a clot on the brain so is always cold
Never a stupid question 😊...Worsted and aran are the same. Good luck, I hope you're husband likes it 😊

Hi i would love to make this sweater for 9-10 year old could you tell me what size hooks to use thanks
What size is the sweater that you are making in this video?
Can I use any 4 weight yarn
I’m currently making this for myself and I’m wondering after connecting the arms and we get to the end of round 2 do we slip stitch in the chain 1 from the previous row or the post stitch?

Should everyone do a chain of 4 for the arm hole or does it depend on size
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Lovely sweater ❤
Hello, thank you for this tutorial, theresloud Musi that comes on
Hi, Im a beginner. For checking gauge for body, just crocheting dc with 4.5mm hook would enough?
For the gauge for the Body I'm confused. Is it dc in one row and fpdc the next or how would it be done?
Lovely sweater! 😍 👏
How much yarn do we need for this project?
This sweater is so pretty. Could you please recommend a different yarn to make it in?? I can't wear anything in alpaca or wool anymore. Thanks MJ!! 👸💜🐈
I’m using the Herrschners Soho Tranquil Tweed 👍 it’s 98% acrylic and 2% viscose 😊❤feels great and looks the same
Thank you for the suggestion!! I appreciate it!! 👸💜🐈
I have a list of subs on the blog post
Thank you MJ!! I'm going to go check it out right now. I already bought the pattern, just need some yarn. 👸💜🐈
Alpaca is more expensive but redheart has one very similar is called Aran Fleck.
Is there any way to male this a hoodie? I love this pattern and have made myself a sweater but now my son wants a hoodie 🤦🏻♀️
100 rows came out to a very large collar size. Maybe I did something??? Should I just make it 21inches long?
i had this same issue: the rest of the sweater fits perfect but the collar is massive on my boyfriend. i’m not sure how she got her collar to fit normally. i’m going to try blocking it to see if it makes any difference.

Can you make it bigger to L or XL by changing the hook size
Hi MJ . If I do not have this yarn what is a good substitute?
Can you please show a slower paced video version of doing the connecting stitches ( the V stitches). I’m a novice that bought the pattern and not familiar with making clothing. This will be a holiday gift so I want to be sure I do this right.

Hi there.. I wNt to make t hi is for my husband.. What size did you make for your husband? Large, XL?
Amazing 🎉
Stupendo
Sorry for bothering but could you please give me the measurements for xl, 2xl... thank you very much. ❤

Closer please with white yarn!!!
This may be a silly question but when counting stitches how many does the “v” stitch count as? 1, 2 or 3?
I would also like to know the answer to this question
My size is L and how many stitches but I don't know how to crochet it's difficult 😕
Heyy, how much yarn did you use?
Sustitutos en español por favor 😊
Can you use single crochet instead of double if you want less gaping so it’s not see through? Would it change the stitch count too or just the height and take longer to finish?
Yes it would
How many rounds for the beginning would you do for a large size please?
its 28 rounds for mens size large. if you go to MJ off the hook blog page the written pattern is there for size female and Male xs to 5x I follow both the video and the written pattern and it is turning out really well .( making mens size large for my husband )
Can you just cable the front?
Yes! That would work❤️

Exactly. Can someone help? With 16 dc we end up with two front dc and not like in the movie with regular dc 😞
Yes, I ran into this also. I even drew the 16 stitches on paper, marking 2 for dc and 2 for fpdc and still came up with ending on 2 fpdc before the next v stitch. Did you figure it out, or just go with it?

Yes
What size is the sweater youve made in the video? You mentioned this one is for your son, Is it a M ?
She’s definitely not going to answer this question because she doesn’t want you to figure out your own measurements. She wants you to purchase her over priced written pattern 🙄

31:00. She’ve mentioned here that it’s a M size
