You are so smart to have a tutorial for your designs for newer knitters. It allows us to have courage to knit something beyond our skill level!
The first video I saw of yours was the one of your wedding dress! I was hooked by your immense talent and I am so grateful you share it with us! Thank you!!
Oh my God, thank you for this! Crocheting lace is easy but knitting it is so hard since there are so very few good tutorials on it. Just what I needed, God bless you 💖.
I can say from experience: it's not as hard as it looks! The hardest thing about knitting lace is that you need to concentrate a bit more when knitting this. All the special stitches are very feasible and if you don't understand one or the terms confuse you: there are so many resources online! I learned everything from youtube and I actually made this Love Letter Top (I got to test it) and it looks so nice ☺
Das Top gefällt mir gut, aber wie das Stricken im tutorial gezeigt wird, finde ich furchtbar und sieht auch sehr umständlich aus. Muster zu stricken erfordert einfach Konzentration, mehr nicht!
Hi, i want to start learning too and I am overwhelmed how to begin. Any youtube videos you can recommend for beginners? @@chica7144
This is so beautiful. I was attacked by my cat a couple of days ago and I can't do anything with my right hand but lay around. I've been watching your tutorial. Planning on making this just as soon as I can use my hand again. I just love this.
Omg, What did your cat do to you? And why? :( Are you okay now?
Prayers❤
I am a new knitter and made one of your tops after purchasing the pattern. I practiced with an inexpensive yarn and larger needles in order to practice the techniques. I love this top, so I bought the pattern and I will practice, practice, practice, before using the yarn for the real thing.
I'm a crocheter that's starting to get more serious about knitting, I feel like this is a masterclass on knitting stitches!! Such a beautiful top, I'd love to make it cropped 😍
Hello, I am not a knitter, but a crocheter... However, I love watching each of your videos and it would even make me want to try swapping my hook for needles.
Good continuation to you and thank you !!!
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful gift of knitting this fabulous top!! You are appreciated, Ms. Lady ❤
@Kutovakika I think there is an error in the gauge explanation around minute 6:39. You mentioned your gauge is 20 st for 4 in. You then mentioned if someone got 22 st instead of 20, that means they knit looser. And you also mentioned if they got 18 that means they knit tighter than you. I think it is the other way around. If they got 22 st instead of 20, that means they knit tighter than you. Vice versa with the 18 st. Just want to make sure newer knitters are not confused from the explanation in the video about gauge. Gauge is important.
I noticed the same thing.
I love knitting lace but this looks challenging, which is why I bought it! I’m hoping to surprise my DIL with this beautiful top for her birthday in July… or whenever I finish, if it takes longer.
Very happy to have your video for support. ❤
Your tutorials are greatly appreciated!!!
Always something to learn. Thank you
I rarely comment but I always think how friendly and cute you are and what a lovely energy you have, Kika. 🌸🌺
Oh thank you so much ☺️🥰
You are now my #1 designer! I just started knitting to patterns in 2022. I'm obsessed with your designs. I literally am just finishing you Sailor Swift Top, I started the StripeHype dress but it's too big (I joined in the round, tried it on, and it's too big - but I haven't frogged it yet), I started the StripeHype Sweater instead, and now I want to knit THIS. Just gorgeous. Buying it now, but will TRY to be patient and finish the other 2 first. I've never used a chart to knit, but this tutorial gave me the confidence to give it a try. Huge thanks to all the time, effort and work you put into making the tutorial for all of us newbies ;-)
I was looking for a gift for one of my daughters. This is perfect. I have knit lace, but not a full garment. This is beautiful! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It's such a comfort to know that if I get stuck on this pattern, I can refer to this video. I'm half-way through this project and am really enjoying it - I plan to knit more as important gifts for loved ones.
I've knitted over 20 years now and I stumbled upon this video. It immediately hooked me and I have never seen such a beautiful knitted lace top 😍 I just bought your pattern and I look forward to this project! Your videos sparkle of joy and inspired me to try out some new things! (I never tried that much lace before haha) I love the design knits of your sweaters and I can't wait for your book "Knit this"! 😁
I am so very grateful for you and this beautiful pattern. I have been so afraid of lace knitting and you have made it easy and accessible. I have officially fallen in LOVE with lace! I will be finishing it up this week and I can’t wait to wear it in the last few weeks of warm weather. It is a gorgeous pattern and I know I will make another for next summer. Thank you sooo much!
This is so stunning, can't wait to make it for Summer! ❤
Love love love this.
This top is a piece of art! ❤️
Love this top! Very clear and detailled tutorial! Absolutely love all your content! 😊
I think the gauge goes the other way around... if my sample has more stitches per 10cm I should use a bigger needle. Sorry to be pointing that out... Your work is the BEST and I love everything you knit! I bought some of your patterns and they are perfect. Congrats! Keep it up! You are creating a better world with your art!
Yes, I agree with you. If you have more stitches in your gauge sample it means that you knit tighter than the recommended gauge and should therefore go up a needle size.
Thanks, I really enjoy the fact you have the tutorials for your designs. if more designers did this, they'd sell more patterns.
I had no idea I wanted to knit lace…till you made me see it! Thank you so much. 2 sweaters to finish. This will be next up.
Wow... Love your technic for the bobble.... thank youuu Kika... love this!!!
Girl, this top is everything! 🙌🏽
I’m only 20 minutes into the video and I had to buy the pattern, which I did, and I started right in. I have been teaching myself how to knit lace and this top is so beautiful and enticing, I just had to start right in. Having the tutorial and the pattern to follow along is great. Thank you so much for making this video.
How fantastic are those tutorials! Thank you so much! I have done lots of bobbles, but this technique is the best by far!!! 😘
This is so gorgeous ❤. Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing. God bless you 🙏
Definitely making this!❤
Fantastic. Thank you SO much for the row by row tutorial!
Your tutorials are wonderful for any knitter, whether novice or experienced and your designs are really lovely. I really like the way you create the I-Cord edge. I've not seen a version like this before. I do like how this lies very flat. I will have to see if I can squeeze this top into my rather long list of projects. Your Artic Light sweater is also on my list too! ☺
You are such a breath of fresh air and an amazing instructor!!! Thanks so much for this beautiful pattern and tutorial 👏😊👏
I was looking forward to it. Your designs are impressive.
Following you a couple of months but this will be my first top with you:)
Keep going, love from Turkey 🌸
Love love love this gorgeous top. I absolutely love the heart shapes and the lace work is stunning and romantic. Another spectacular creation ❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a super cute top!! Thank you for this tutorial!
Love, love, LOVE this gorgeous top ❤ Thank you for a marvellous tutorial; of course, I will try to knit this! I need to bye your pattern and yarn immediately; I can't wait to start this project! Much love to you, dear Kika 🧶
I love the hearts 💕
Love this top. Thank you for all your hard work. ❤
Everyone has said what I wanted to say, this is just beautifully done, thanks 😊
Какая красота!
Всех благ Вам и удачи, Кика. Берегите себя ❤️.
I am so thankfull , God bless you ! This is a video what I just need for my new project!😊
amazing tutorial!!!! i've already tried a few of these stitches in other patterns but it doesn't seem overwhelmingly difficult anymore!! thank you for making this video
Just love to watch you knit. From uk. I know and knitting Continental and find it so much easier. Just love your work. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Un grand merci de France pour ce magnifique ouvrage et l'enthousiasme partagé dans cette vidéo !!!
Absolutely beautiful. I love all of your patterns, you are a very talented designer. And thank you for the great tutorials, they really help when knitting one of your patterns. This would also be lovely as a short sleeve top (hint hint).
That is so beautiful!
An other super-clear tutorial! I started knitting thanks to your Lola top tutorial, I’m now DESPERATELY waiting for a tutorial on the Wishbone sweater
This is so beautiful. Would you consider a variation for us ladies who need a bit more coverage for the arms. Maybe a cap sleeve?
Make the original pattern for a daughter or niece and then you can make a larger size with your own personally designed cap sleeves.
Asking a designer to create a pattern for your own specific needs will not pay the designer for the hours she will need to put into into your personal request.
Beautiful pattern! I have purchased it, a few days ago I also bought some linen yarn to make it! I knit a small sample and it's so promising! I can't wait to have this project under my fingers! 😊
Beautiful, Beautiful top!!
I love it so much!!
I will definitely make it 😊
I just completed your sailor swift top, it was wonderful. Thank you! Am looking forward to trying the love letter too, it's lovely 💟
Love the top and your explanation
I’m doing this while watching, yes, plus writing ✍️ the stitch pattern alongas i knit 🧶. Looking good. Thank you 😊 plus, crocheting 🧶 a two hexagon cardigan, and knitting 🧶 socks 🧦. Filling weekend 😃🌸🌻❤️🌞🌷🌹🌺

I’ve done a bit of lace before, but nothing as fancy as this. I love it and have just ordered my yarn to make one in purple 😊
Hi Kika, just to let u know that I am your BIG fan from Singapore! It's a tiny country and very far from u...
I got inspired by u thru the UA-cam video about you making your own wedding dress! OMG! U are so amazing and talented!
I used to knit during my teens but I stopped for many yrs....
i picked up this hobby again during covid and I am now a 50yr old housewife...I wish to start doing things that I like....knitting!
I downloaded your instructions on the Sailor Swift Top, I completed it and I felt amazing!!
A big thank u to u! Your instructions are clear and easy to understand, plus your video tutorial, it really helps!! Thanks!
now I am going to challenge myself to do this Love Letter Top! Pray for me....hahahaha....
oh! and I also recently bought your book! Fabulous!
Please continue to inspire all of us! Take care!
I love this top Kika. I will start it right away. Thank you so much.
Wonderful! That makes me so glad to hear 😍
After being blown away by your wedding dress video I just had to make this. What a great summer top! So, I counted the rows and figured out that 2 rows a day(I have other knitting to "get done") would bring me to summer. And how fun to knit this "with" Kika?! I turned on the video yesterday and now my plan is ruined. I can't put it down! Oh well, I could have bigger problems. 🤣
Thank you. I will try knitting this lace pattern. 😀🤗
It’s wonderful ❤
I just purchased The Love Letter Pattern. This tutorial convinced me to try a lace garment. Im keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you for this. I will look to see if you have more such projects with tutorials. Im so excited!! :) :)
Just in time to inspire a new project!
Excellent teaching of lace concept. Beautiful top.
Wow, what a beautiful top you designed! I'm in love!!! Thank you, Kika))
I have a site saved just for all ur vlogs. Im making this garment bc there is a visual tutorial. I know it is hard to do these vlogs but it helps me understand ur design patterns. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely top! I don't like tops (at all!) and I consider myself already a pretty good lace-knitter BUT I'm still tempted to make the top!! It's SOOOOO cute!
Looks beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
As always, very clear tutorial . You make everything looks so easy. I'm ready to try it even if i'm a new knitter Thanks to you, i try and suceed. ❤❤
Beautiful work amazing video
Bravo it looks stunning ❤❤
I found a second hand knitting book with lace pattern. Nice tutorial. Thanks
So pretty!
Thats great!!
Beautiful ❤
I'm aliiiiive!!! Use a lifeline (using waste yarn) so u don't lose your progress! I can't wait to start this.
wow kika your hair looks great!!! thanks for a wonderfully informative video 💕
I hope ı can knit this beauty. thank you so much for your tutorial. big help!
An experienced lace knitted here, who loves cotton, so I obviously I love this idea, and have myself designed similar ones before :) (Though I think that the standard cast-on method is the long-tail method, not the backwards loop one, and the former IMO is also much easier to do & to knit into :))
It is so pretty.
I don't wear tops, but i do love a new Kika video. I always learn something ❤
Thank you so much that makes me so glad to hear 🥰
I've learnt so much from you! Your beanie and beginner sweater video started my knitting journey ❤
I love your love letter sweater it is so gorgeous. I hope I will be able to knit one just like that. Thank you so much for sharing. I love you tutorial. It’s so clear so easy to understand. Thank you Kika bye-bye
Wonderful video love your book too 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I know you probably won't read this but I just wanted to say thanks for this amazing pattern and video. I just finished making it and it's definitely my favourite project so far! This was so fun to make and kinda just want to start another one immediately :D
