Marley you are a pleasure to watch and listen to. Your instructions and demonstrations are very clear and I'm feeling inspired to pick up the needles and attempt some stranded colour work! Thanks a bunch! Paula
Thank you so much for this video, I had to start my first color work sweater over 4 times. I kept pulling on my yarn like I do when I knit my socks. I had to tell myself over and over "Don't pull your yarn"! I was also having trouble with my increases so you doing this project is really helping me.
Great video, Marly. I'd add that it's generally best to hold the dominant colour, rather than the background colour, in the left hand. In the left hand, the yarn is coming from underneath and has a little longer distance to go to the stitch. That colour "pops" enough to be noticed compared to the colour held in the right hand. They lack of "pop" of the bright blue colour can be seen around the 39:48 mark, particularly as the brighter blue yarn itself actually seems a little thicker generally, and still the stitches aren't as prominent as they could ideally be. This concept is well-explored in many, if not most, books and videos on stranded colour-work. Just a tip for your readers that will help them create beautiful sweaters.
I’m currently knitting my first Icelandic sweater not exactly this one but another one but this video helped me so incredibly much to understand how I am supposed to read the chart for the pattern since I really didn’t understand it in any other video I was watching
Thank you so much for this, thanks for repeating things to be sure we got it and the clarity of your instructions. Soo helpful. What sad thing happened in some people’s lives to give this a thumbs down!!!!!! I will make this for sure.
So excited to find this! I learnt so much and managed so well with your 'My First Socks' course that I feel ready to have a go at a sweater! I just know that this is going to be great! :-)
Marly tus explicaciones son perfectas, muy repetitiva y con paciencia como para que alguien principiante entienda a la perfección y se anime a intentarlo, a veces los patrones escritos no se comprenden y es frustrante. Gracias!
This is a great series, thank you! I'm knitting mine up now! I do have a beginners question though: on chart 1, when you come to a row or two of all just one color, do you carry the second, unused color all the way around or just catch it right before the next time you use it?
I’ve never tried to knit Fair Isle …. Thank you for helping me build up my self confidence…..question please?? Would this be okay to knit in acrylic….Red Heart Super Saver comes in a bulky (5)…..?? I’m just thinking that alpaca would be very warm to wear indoors?? Would love to hear your thoughts??
as long as the yarn size doesn't change and you get the right tension mentioned in the pattern, you can use any yarn fiber so instead of alpaca you can use acrylic, or wool, or even cotton yarns hope this helps!
wool yarns tend to "bloom" when they're wet blocked, which means it'll help even out any tension issues you had during knitting. not to mention wool is hairy so it helps to make your colorwork look more even, whereas acrylic yarn will likely show any problems with your tension.
Hello, this jersey is really beautiful, but I need subtitles in Spanish, I would like to make it but I can't because my English is really basic. Thanks
Each of the four make 1's is a knit stitch. Because you're going to be knitting ALL the stitches in the next round AFTER the increase round, it doesn't really matter where you do the m1, just as long as you do four of them in the increase round. Because the rib pattern is k2p2, it makes sense to put the m1 in between two knit stiches. So, when you're done with the increase round, you'll have mostly k2p2 throughout, except there will be four places spaced throughout the round where you actually have three adjacent knit stitches. So it'll be like: k2p2k2p2k2p2k3p2k2p2... etc., and there will be four places around your circular needles where you'll have a k3 instead of a k2. Then for the next round, you change to the bigger needles and start the Fair Isle chart, and of course you will now be knitting every stitch -- no more purl.
I am knitting stranded work inside out. ( knitting with the front of your work showing on the inside) This keeps the tension of the work loose and works beautifully....
WAIT - Didn't we already do this one? is this a correction or a repeat? The first version of this came out 2/4/20... I'm confused... would you be willing to clarify?
Could you crochet a sweater like this, I always see the complicated sweaters in knit never crochet and it makes me sad because I don’t know how to knit...hehe
I was just thinking - recently I saw a set of circular crochet hooks (it must be something new!) and wondered if you might be able to use them to "knit" your sweater. Cast on the required number of stitches using the long tail method as you would for knitting. (When I knit in the round on circulars, I add an extra stitch so that I can slip the last stitch over the first stitch to join in the round). Then couldn't you use your crochet method to work the stitches for each round?? Because you pull the thread through the stitch for both knitting and crochet to make a new one. The only difference would be your stitches would be on your circular needles. I hope this may make some sense to you and while I haven't tried it, I an just guessing it may work.
I actually started out crochet. It took a while to learn to knit, but honestly it's worth learning, especially for something like this. As for your question, I believe you could do it with mosaic crochet, but that would make it very thick. It would be easier for you to learn to knit tbh.
@@dianneunderwood8456 The circular crochet hooks are for Tunisian Crochet in the Round (TITR) - great technique take a look as lots of lovely tutorials on UA-cam. You can make this sweater using crochet Tapestry or fair isle technique - I did it in fair isle crochet and its fab. Only difference was I used thinner yarn (UK Aran), but measured my work to make sure the measurements of the neck and body were the same.

Thank you so much Marly for shearing the knitting series. So well explained with clear instructions.
This pattern is beautiful. I like that it goes down close to the waist instead if emphasizing the chest area.
Thank you for this sweater it is beautiful I have a question about making all fair isle in the round can this be done
You are amazing!
So very clear with your instructions!
Thank you

Thank you.
GOD bless you forever
Your Knitting very unique very impressive very beautiful
Thank you very much sweetheart

I like the cowl you’re wearing 🙂 are you willing to share the pattern? 🧶
I agree! I would really love the pattern for the cowl.
🙋🏻♀️ question! How is it called or where can I buy this white double point needle with balls on the ends? they seem much better than the regular ones
I really want to start this sweater but cannot find a substitute yarn due to out of stock Patons Alpaca Blend. Has anyone done this in another yarn?
Can you use any “bulky #5” weight yarn?

What needles do you use/recommend?
OMG! Your voice sounds like Katy Perry😍
When you are knitting the increase in the 4th row of the ribbing, do you make 1 as a knit in the k2p2 ribbing pattern or is the m1 a separate stitch?
Each of the four make 1's is a knit stitch. Because you're going to be knitting ALL the stitches in the next round AFTER the increase round, it doesn't really matter where you do the m1, just as long as you do four of them in the increase round.

So, when you're done with the increase round, you'll have mostly k2p2 throughout, except there will be four places spaced throughout the round where you actually have three adjacent knit stitches. So it'll be like: k2p2k2p2k2p2k3p2k2p2... etc., and there will be four places around your circular needles where you'll have a k3 instead of a k2. Then for the next round, you change to the bigger needles and start the Fair Isle chart, and of course you will now be knitting every stitch -- no more purl.
Can I download this whole patter4
I have done stranded knitting but not a sweater from top down. Is this too intermediate for me?
top down is actually easier in my experience
I have trouble with stranded knitting technique, esp. the tension. I have tried the tips, but they don't work. Is there a way to have even stitches?
I am knitting stranded work inside out. ( knitting with the front of your work showing on the inside) This keeps the tension of the work loose and works beautifully....
I’ve made a fair isle sweater before but have NOT used DPN before. Do I need them for this sweater?
Sorry for a silly question 😊 but where do I click to be able print out the pattern please ? 🙈
The link to the pattern is in the video description.
Is this only for women? Can i make this for my bf?
Çok begendim.sizi anlamak için Ingilizce öğrenmem istiyorum.
