Girl. I just started on the flat section of the haraboji cardigan and your video explanation was a life saver!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to document your explanation.
The antler buttons are really cool, but I agree with you, and think the buttons you went with match the sweater so much better. The sweater looks amazing, you did a wonderful job!
The antler buttons are absolutely beautiful and I can see that they will make a statement piece for you! They might work for another project perhaps with a brushed/fluffy/tweedy textured, undyed colored jacket that looks more rustic. The hexagon buttons you chose def fit your casual yet sophisticated vibe better~
I absolutely love the look of this pattern but ive never done cables before. would you recommend the pattern in general (and I would just power thru) or generally it's not worth the trouble? ty!!!
Thank you! I knit size 1- I’m so bad at doing swatches unless it’s a really fitted piece🫣 but I did end up with the fit/ measurements that were listed by the pattern for that size. I think it helps that every step is based on measurement and not row count
I just found your channel and I really enjoyed your video! Just as a side note (and hopefully constructive criticism), it's a bit strange that you're not looking at the camera but at the side the whole time. It makes no difference but I guess looking at the camera gives us more of a sense you're talking to us :)
I totally get what you mean about loving something aesthetically or creatively-like those antler buttons- but then realizing it just doesn’t feel right on a garment. I wish the Venn diagram of ‘knitting and sewing that excites me creatively’ And ‘garments that I will actually wear a lot’ was a circle but it’s unfortunately not lol🥲
Runninggg to my knitting, I did my last increases right before watching this 😂 totally putting a stitch marker in there NOW. Thank you!
Happy this helped! :)
I have just started this cardigan and your video was so helpful! Thanks for sharing the video of the mock cables on the wrong side.
Yay so happy to hear ☺️
Omg this is SO helpful thank you thank you thank you

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Haraboji Cardigan. I am just starting the knit and got stuck at the same points. Really helpful!
I’m glad this was helpful! If you have any other questions along the way feel free to reach out😊

Yes exactly! Antler buttons are gorgeous but hexagons are more me
Started the left side and i’m back😂
Great to hear!!!
Your notes helped a LOT! It was so so confusing.

I would 100% recommend it! I love my cardigan, I’ve worn it almost every day since making it and the style is very timeless
It looks great. What size did you make? Did you make gauge with the dk or is there just less positive ease?

What cast on/ bind off did you use?
I used long tail cast on and standard knit bind off. Usually I bind off with a slightly bigger needle because I bind off really tightly

Oh I hadn’t even noticed or thought of that- thanks for letting me know, it’s a great note! Will try looking more directly in my next video :)

Right?! Sometimes that’s just how it goes… but I try to prioritize wearability over anything else
