I don't have any friends who crochet so, since I fake knowing what I'm doing half the time, no one around me has any idea it's probably wrong! Lucky me! I 💖 that you also fake it from time to time and laughed throughout this video with you! 🙃
Hi Hun I love the colors in your granny stitch sweater. Hope all went well with the home nurse , up here we call them Home Health Aids. We have a snow storm going on up here . We are all fine . Take care
I am so happy that I found you on you tube tonight, because I love crotchet work and thank you for showing how to decrease because I dont have any body whow love it like I do. Hope you are feeling betet soon. May you be blessed to show us more of your awesome work. Love all the way from south africa. Lots of love and good blessings.❤❤❤😊❤😊
I love the color of your sleeves with the black. Also, just out of curiosity, I looked to see if there was a decrease for a granny stitch online, and they did it exactly like you did! It makes sense to me! Thanks for showing how the sleeve goes. Hugs! 🥰
Good morning, your sweater is beautiful. I have been making socks like the ones you made , My feet are small so I used a smaller size hook. Then my husband wanted a pair. Using a larger hook I made him a pair using a larger hook. They both turned out. You are a blessing, I have alot of chronic illness. Plus early alzheimer's. I have been crocheting now for some time now. Thank you. It does my brain good. I write everything down.
Oh thank you so much! I just learned to decrease granny stitch like this, but the video that showed me didn't tell me what to do in the next row, I didn't know if you skipped over the decrease, now I know thanks to you! 💖💖💖
The way you decreased would have been the way I would have done. I am no expert but when I thought about I thought what you did. Really love those sleeves with the black.
love the colors!! Hey whatever works, I do the same thing lol. If someone is gonna look that close and point it out and complain about it, they don't need it in the first place. lol 😘❤😊
This is clearest explanation of decreasing granny clusters I've been able to find. Was looking for a method to decrease to make a cushion cover, the cushion is slightly tapered though. Thank you!
Wow. I love those colors together. I’m not saying this to be mean, but, I never thought I would be learning to crochet from someone with only 4 fingers. Thank you for brightening my day
I'm 7 years older than you and I haven't lost much but as I get older I tend to wear sweaters more often. Can't wait to see this done, I thought from the beginning that it looked to big for you.
Hi Kayla. I think that the way you are decreasing is correct. You might be able to decrease every other row. When your sleeves are finished, and you border the neck, you could also decrease there as well, to make it more fitted and not look so baggy. Even if you just decreased on the front and not the back, several decreases across. It is looking beautiful. You could put a draw string cord at the waist, or bottom even. I am sure that it will be lovely. Love, Audrey. ❤️🇨🇦🧶😘
Thank you so much for this!! I'm not putting a sleeve cuff on my granny stitch cardigan, but I want it to look kind of groovy and 70s. The sleeve is so big though! This helped a lot.
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this!!! I am in the exact same situation and not liking the balloon sleeves that are so in now. I’m so grateful to have this information. I’m going to try it. Thanks!!!
Great idea. That’s how I would’ve done it. It’s kind of hard to decrees on a granny square stitch, but keep up the good work it’s a beautiful day to crochet.
Another possibility could be to keep on making granny clusters without the chain one in between, but clusters of two double crochets instead of three. Might that work? In other words, on first decrease round, eliminate chain ones. On second decrease round, eliminate one dc from each cluster.
There are so many ways to tweak crochet stitches as long as it works for you and you like how it looks thats all that matters. I'm still knee deep in granny squares for a scrappy cardi I'm making. Hopefully soon, I'll be thigh deep and this scrap busting project will be over! 😅
That Fruity color looks amazing with the black. Whatever works for you is correct, is what I always say, lol. Looking forward to seeing your finished creation.♥🧶
The bell sleeves was such a good idea. So sorry it it didn't work for you, but it may be because the yarn is so thick that it doesn't drape well. I love how omitting the chain and also decreasing the dc stitches narrowed the sleeve. I am going to use this method for my mine. Thanks so much for that great suggestion and demo 🥰
You tickle me SO MUCH, Kayla! 🥰😂🥰. And great job on figuring that out - big applause!! I had voted for the Parrot 🦜 Stripe, but those colors look so beautiful together! You seem like you feel a bit better today and your hands look warmer. I pray that they ARE. Hugs and loves 💝
Well, Kayla, I did almost exact same thing I just did two partials in each each spot and then put them all together. That’s what we do we make it up as we go. That sweater is going to be gorgeous. Love that color with the black. thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
Your decrease looks awesome!! If the sweater was to big, you should of took off some of the black part.. and then try the black on before making sleeves.. it's beautiful tho.. please model your sweater for us❤️
The color choice was great alongside the black body of the cardigan. The decrease is good. I've never done one with a granny square. It is not noticeable, and if it works for you, that is all that matters. Doing it at the armpit was the perfect solution for where it should be. I am anxiously waiting to see it finished with you modeling it. It will be a showstopper for sure. I pray that your health will improve so you can have better days than bad ones. Hugs and love to you and Jody. 🤗😇🥰
Hi Kayla, I’m sure your sweater will be fine. It will keep you nice and warm, and after you wash it, it will soften up and drape the way you want it to. It’s beautiful 😍
Thanks, I was thinking about the Dec granny stitch. I don't think I've done that either. I started on mine finally but I also was thinking of just doing a mesh stitch for my sleeves. Lol we can always figure out how to fudge things
Yay! I love the color that won it looks beautiful with the black yarn. It really makes it pop. I am going to have to get me some of that same color yarn. I hope that you are feeling better today. Thanks for showing us on how you are decreasing.
Hi Kayla it's Sandy from Austin. You know I've always wanted to make the campfire cardigan but I don't like the sleeves. So now I'm gonna make it and use your decrease. That's awesome. I just got home and was happy to see you've posted video. I'll let you know how it turns out. Big hugs. God bless.
I don't have any friends who crochet so, since I fake knowing what I'm doing half the time, no one around me has any idea it's probably wrong! Lucky me! I 💖 that you also fake it from time to time and laughed throughout this video with you! 🙃
Beautiful colors against the black! You did an awesome tutorial. Thank you!
Fruity Stripes is a big fav of mine. Decrease looks good. ❤
Kayla, you know what Jennifer is always saying, you do you, what ever works for you do it's your project.
Love granny squares and granny square stitch. Beautiful colors.
Hi Hun I love the colors in your granny stitch sweater. Hope all went well with the home nurse , up here we call them Home Health Aids. We have a snow storm going on up here . We are all fine . Take care

wow love that blanket
Thank you Miss Kayla, you're a life safer girl! LOL
The color is awesome.
Good morning, your sweater is beautiful. I have been making socks like the ones you made , My feet are small so I used a smaller size hook. Then my husband wanted a pair.

I'm glad you picked #2. It really pops!
I knew that sleeve yarn would be excellent with the black. I tend to want long sleeves which I can roll up if needed. I understand getting cold!
I'm sure you'll be much happier with your sweater! Good job coming up with a solution!
Are you feeling better? Did your hands warmed up? You are a God send. You don’t even know the impact you have on people. I pray for you ❤
My mama used to say when clothes were too big for her that it looked like she was wearing a tent 😂
Thanks, for the simple sleeve decrease.
Oh thank you so much! I just learned to decrease granny stitch like this, but the video that showed me didn't tell me what to do in the next row, I didn't know if you skipped over the decrease, now I know thanks to you! 💖💖💖
The way you decreased would have been the way I would have done. I am no expert but when I thought about I thought what you did. Really love those sleeves with the black.
Thank you. I really needed a way to decrease my granny sleeves as well. Like you said, there's nothing cute about them! Your humor is so refreshing. 😂
Love, love that this colorway won. It is beautiful. It will look lovely on for sure. The decreasing is spot on. 👍👍💐💐❤️🧶🧶
Thank you. You've just solved my granny sleeve problem too❤
I don't think I ever decreased on a granny square either. Looks good to me!
love the colors!! Hey whatever works, I do the same thing lol. If someone is gonna look that close and point it out and complain about it, they don't need it in the first place. lol 😘❤😊

This helped so much with a cardigan I'm working on, the best method I've seen! Thank you so much! ❤
I'm 7 years older than you and I haven't lost much but as I get older I tend to wear sweaters more often. Can't wait to see this done, I thought from the beginning that it looked to big for you.
I just love the colors of your sleeves. It’s your sweater, you can make it any way you want. If it works, just do it
I probably tweak everything I crochet no one knows but me love the bright colorful sleeves thank you for sharing
Your sweater looks good love the color for the sleeves. What ever works right. Take care.
Thankyou. Yours are the best instructions for decreasing.
Love that color, itwas my favorite of the e like 5he decreased side and like the stitch decreased you did,
Im glad you are honest about the sweater being way too big and Im happy you are altering the sleeves to make them better for you.
Hi Kayla. I think that the way you are decreasing is correct. You might be able to decrease every other row.

Hi Kayla, yes, that color looks really good with the black!
Thank you so much for this!! I'm not putting a sleeve cuff on my granny stitch cardigan, but I want it to look kind of groovy and 70s. The sleeve is so big though! This helped a lot.

I love the color pop of the sleeves! It’s looking beautiful, can’t wait to see it finished ‼️🙃
Thanks, I was thinking about the Dec granny stitch. I don't think I've done that either. I started on mine finally but I also was thinking of just doing a mesh stitch for my sleeves. Lol we can always figure out how to fudge things
Yay! I love the color that won it looks beautiful with the black yarn. It really makes it pop. I am going to have to get me some of that same color yarn. I hope that you are feeling better today. Thanks for showing us on how you are decreasing.
Thank you very much. This was very helpful. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. The colors are beautiful. Have an amazing day.
Hi Kayla it's Sandy from Austin. You know I've always wanted to make the campfire cardigan but I don't like the sleeves. So now I'm gonna make it and use your decrease. That's awesome. I just got home and was happy to see you've posted video. I'll let you know how it turns out. Big hugs. God bless.
That was a really good idea.
