TIP: When doing the sleeve I ran into a couple of issues, 1) make sure you cast on 1 more than what you wanted for the wrist area, I casted on 23 because i wanted 22 stiches, because to work in the round you have to take your most recent casted on stitch, but it on your right hand needle, and pass over the first casted on stitch over it. Which leaves you with only 22 instead of 23. I had forgotten about having to do this, until after four tries i realized my mistake, once you do this, the rib stitch will look right. 2) when switching to larger needles in the sleeve, i started at where my left over yarn from casting on was, and took the last knitted stitch off the smaller needle in my right hand, and put it on the larger needle and started knitting. 3) I ONLY did increases on the purl columns of the rib stitch. Because it looks really weird when you do it on the knit columns of the rib stitch, I had to start over because it looked like i was doing random purl stitches, and i’ll probably do just increases on those areas for another row or two. I wanted to share these tips because i figured it would help a lot of first time knitters. I will be more than happy to share some videos with techniques that you need to make this sweater that aren’t shown in this. Although, 2 & 3 were things i realized through trial and error and i just made up to make things work. EDIT: MAKE SURE YOU DON’T DO TOO MANY INCREASES. I increased from 22 to 54 and realized that it was way too much a couple rows in, ill have to pull out some rows all the way to my cuff again. which sucks, but i hope this helps those reading this so they know before getting into it. EDIT X 2: I JUST REALIZED home girl didnt do the sleeves in the round💀like i am. If yall are doing the sleeves in the round, then all these tips apply, but if you arent, then only no. 3 applies. edit 3: When you do the KFB on purl ribbed columns only, it creates these beautiful dimples in the sleeve near the cuff that are really cute
After my second attempt I was able to successfully create my first cardigan thanks to this tutorial! It came out exactly as I hoped and looks high quality. Goodbye purchasing overpriced knitted clothing! THANK YOU
I just started tonight and did halfway through the back before running out of yarn. I ordered new yarn so hopefully they come soon. If I remember I may update when I finish it. Btw my knitting knowledge consists of knit, purl and how to start and finish it, so this is my first time making something like a cardigan. It looks so simple so I hope mine looks as good as yours. Update: I finished it like 2 months ago, now I remembered the existence of this comment. It turned out great!!! I would just recommend finding a way to Stich the shoulder parts together loosely, so it isn’t uncomfortable to wear. Other than that, I love the pattern and the tutorial!
Hi everyone! I've written out the instructions under my Instagram stories (@fleuriform), it's under the highlights section titled "Chunky Cardigan." Hopefully this is helpful!
Hi can you please write it in a printable format like a pdf or word doc, referring to Instagram each time is not the most effective option. Many thanks in advance and would really appreciate it!
Hey Fleuriform really love this tutorial you’re such an amazing knitter!!! I am just beginning but love knitting just wondering if you could put the instructions here or somewhere as I don’t have Instagram xxx 💕💕💕💕💕
This is REALLY well explained and also, the aesthetic is so lovely! Thanks for taking the time to work so hard on the video design - it really makes the video!
i love this. Simple, soothing visuals and calming music.I have looked at many tutorials and patterns and i cant bear the continous and complicated over-explaining everyone else seems to do. 😭 gonna try this tutorial and report back soon ...
this was so so helpful, w such a beautiful result! you are doing wonderful and important work! i would love to see more walkthrough videos with your other projects, if you feel up for it and have time. much more aesthetically pleasing, calming, and straightforward than most knitting videos ive seen :)
Im currently knitting the second front piece!! Im so excited 😁 Im using US size 13 needles with Lion Brand Wool-Ease thick and quick yarn in fisherman. Its much more affordable than buttercream and is exactly like their size 15 wool yarn with the same colors for 3-4$ less depending on where you go. I love just knitting things, so if it doesnt fit me to my liking or etc, i’ll probably sell it for the price of the yarn.
@@nathaliabavutti526 I just prefer using this wool/yarn, in my opinion (im sure im wrong) when knitting a garment like this in pieces, just check your inches/length/width. Making sure it fits your body especially when you dont make gauge is alot easier for me. I did i think the 2nd to largest amount of stitches for the back piece and 18 stitches for the front pieces. Im definitely no expert and Im not someone who minds just pulling the whole thing apart and starting again so my advice could be wrong🤷🏻♀️ but if it were me i definitely wouldnt use the yarn she uses because its just way too expensive for a whole sweater. Shes selling it for 65$ on her instagram and I did the math, thats wayyy below how much it would cost if she actually used 7 or 8 balls of yarn.
Oh, Wow!!! This is beautiful and like the way that you showed every step. Very nice. I will have to make one for myself. Not sure about the size though. Thanks again.
This was a delightful video! You said it wasn't intended as a tutorial, but it totally was helpful like one! Between this video and this free lion brand effortless cardigan pattern, I think I can figure out how to make one with the gauge I got! (I'm using a super bulky yarn but it's not as chonk as your yarn)
Hi! This is a nice tutorial, but did you know that you’re twisting your knit stitches? That’s why your stitches look a tiny bit raised/uneven. Stockinette knitting usually requires your knit stitches to be knit through the front loop, not the back loop, like you’re doing in this video. Your purls are fine though! Twisted stitches aren’t “wrong” (we mostly use them in the ribbing section of our projects), but it’s a bit unusual to do it when knitting a garment. Just leaving this here for you in case you decide to make more videos, and so that any beginner knitter can understand what these stitches are and when to use them! :)
Ya I can tell just by looking at the stitches. Nothing wrong with it gives it a different texture and still looks good but they're definitely twisted. :)
Nope combination knitting. So knitting through the back is "correct" because that's the leading leg. And you can see when she's purling she's passing the yarn clockwise.
Love this cardi! For the sleeves, looks like you seamed it to the body, and then seamed the sleeves lengthwise closed after? This wasn’t shown so wanted to see if this is how you did this.
Got lost at the sleeves 😅 do you make those in a panel and like sew them in the circular shape or knit in the round? Also do you only do that increase on the sleeve once and just do normal stitches throughout or do you do it every knit row??
Hi! Of course, I'd be happy to write out step-by-step instructions. I'll post it on my instagram (@fleuriform) once I get that done :) I can also email it directly to you if preferred, just message me!
Did you not need to do the increase stitches after the rib on the front pieces? There were increase stitches on back and sleeves, but none on front unless I missed it?
Question for everyone who did this project! When knitting the two front panels, do I KFB increase? Or do the same amount of stitches all the way up the front? Thanks!!!
It doesn't look like she did that, no. Of course, it's entirely up to you. It would basically make the front panels billow out like the back panel and sleeves do. I think it looks a little nicer to skip the KFB on the front.
She added only 18 stitches for the front panel with no KFB. I am currently working on the ribbing of this now and it only measures out 7 inches width? Will this be big enough or should I add some more stitches? Or do I not front be two front panels to touch?
hi! just wanted to ask how you managed the running when your needles were connected? i’m trying to start mine and it’s frustrating when the needles have the loop!!
Was also wondering if she had skipped this step in tutorial.. I'm planning on seaming the sides from the bottom up to the armpit and down the sleeve to seam the sides of sleeves tog.. I think that may work
Hey! I'm beginner. Could u please tell if i can use only simple needles for whole knitting rather than circular needles. Please reply!! Urgently need it!!!!
Hiya! I'm also a beginner knitter myself, and I've just finished sewing my first sweater (yay!). I found it extremely helpful to use circular needles (for flat knitting), because my straight needles couldn't hold all the stitches/fabric well (it was very very cramped difficult to work with). That being said, I'm sure there are ways to make straight needles work, but in my experience I lean more towards using circular :) hope this helps!
i absolutely love this tutorial! sorry if you had already stated this before, but what size does this cardigan run in? is it oversized? also, great content! i love your minimalistic and calming style of editing. i'll be sure to subscribe for future walkthroughs/tutorials! :)
This cardigan is about a Small-Medium. It is a bit oversized for me, as I'm usually a size 4-6. But check the measurements just to be sure! (0:36). It is also a bit cropped since I personally have a relatively shorter torso. Hope this was helpful!
how long would this take to make? i have two weeks free and i hope i can finish it before the cold comes i really want one and id love to make it!!! its also my first time doing something like this
Eve Elizabeth thanks for the reply. Thinking about it though, how was it knitted into a tube if she seamed them onto the back and front piece flat?? Just trying to critically think about this.
What a lovely cardigan! I have some yarn that are the size 100g = 100 meter, that I want to use, and therefore get a less chunky sweater. How many more stitches do I need to add then?
It's hard to tell but what I would recommend is casting on like 10 stitches or something and practicing the knit, then once you've done a small section measure to see how big it is. Then you can do some maths and work out how many you need to cast on to get the right length for each section. Hope that makes sense!
this is a great video! did you block the cardigan (put it in water) after? i just learned about blocking and was wondering if it would make the cardigan too big?
Hi Julianna, thank you! I didn't block my knitted pieces after, just because the yarn and needle that I was using gave me pretty uniform stitches and luckily this made it really easy to knit with an even tension all throughout the whole thing. I'd say that if your piece ends up a little bit uneven then try blocking! Some sources online say that blocking can change the size of your garment, but I think this just depends on the kind of yarn you're using (wool versus acrylic, etc) and the change in size isn't by a lot (I've seen numbers from 5-10%). Hope this was helpful!!
fleuriform ok great thank you for your response! If I decide to block, is it possible to do after knitting the cardigan or can u only block with the separate pieces before putting it all together?
@@juliannaross1387 I would recommend blocking the pieces separately, just to make sure that when you're stitching all the pieces together, everything is even and lined up! But if you've already constructed the whole cardigan and would still like to block it, blocking might help even out the areas that are not near the seams (the "middle" of the pieces, if that makes sense!). Again, this might not be necessary if you see that your cardigan looks relatively even and that you're happy with the un-blocked outcome :)
0:24 Why does she put the zero mark before the first stitch, at the middle of the upright V of the stitch before the first stitch? I've seen this a lot and I seriously don't get it.
Hello! I bought it from a US-based craft store called Jo-Ann's. I think you can find the same variety of yarn on ebay, yarnspirations.com, or any yarn supply website that ships to where you are. Any yarn that says that the weight is "6" or "bulky" will do! :)
Is a 40in cable okay instead? I’m still new to this and don’t wanna mess it up. Also I’ve searched everywhere for a 12 mm needle all I could get was a 12.75mm I hope it doesn’t make a big difference even though they aren’t far off from each other you never know
I think a 40in cable will work fine, my needles were about 36in for the front ribbed trim. And a 12.75mm needle will work just fine :) Check the gauge for a more accurate measurement just to be sure though!
Shes using US size 15 yarn, if you plan on using anything smaller, get the needle size that fits the yarn. I know I didnt get gauge but because im doing more stitches most the time (on the back piece and the sleeves, so it kind of makes up for that loss in size. This pattern is very workable, i would recommend measuring yourself, and then making the pattern suit your fit. Any length of cable is good as long as the back piece can fit on the cable. You could magic loop the sleeves and do them in the round which is where I am currently on the project
Can I still follow the same steps as you if I didn't use the same type of bulky yarn I want to use really thin yarn Really satisfying and calming video btw >0
Create a Gauge Piece, knit up in the stitch you prefer until you reach desired width (i typically do a 2x4 piece) You can also go to goodknitkisses dot com to use a gauge calculator, this will take into account the weight of yarn you chose to use and the ending size you wish your piece to be. Then it calculates all your cast on amount and rows needed.
Great work! Can you please copy the written instructions somewhere else other than instagram because I don't have an instagram account and I am sure there are some people that would appreciate it as well. Thank you so much!
I need HELP!!! This is the first time I've ever knitted in my life. I didn't think it would be so hard to make this cardigan. I'm just starting with the back part and I already have several problems. I started with 48 stitches, because I wanted an M-L size, a bit baggy. Eventually I realized that somehow I was increasing stitches and now instead of 48, I have 73! This is certainly not normal. Please, I need advice! I don't know when I did so many more stitches. Is there a way to fix it? On the other hand, with the 48 stitches it seemed that I wasn't wrapped around my whole hip :P I hope someone can help me, thanks a lot!
I did my first cardigan with ua-cam.com/video/PSY4Dz1U_Uw/v-deo.html . It’s good step by step. Second, you can do all 3 parts together till armpits and then separate it and keep going each part separately.
This ‘music’ is so annoying!!! It’s not only distracting because of is discordance,but also hurts one’s head!! It does not help concentrating at all!!!

Did you increase every other row? What number of stitches is good to stop at? Not doing it in the round
@@jessicaneises810 you can increase every row but i would only do it in line with the purls you did in the ribbing.
How many balls of yarn do you use? Im going to buy it online but i dont want to buy to many times so pleaseee notice me
Thank you so much for the info! 😊 it was very helpful
Wait I’ve never done this when knitting in the round but I’ve also only ever knitted socks…is it to keep the rows from being offset?
OMG i CAN'T WAIT TO START THIS NOW! so I can wear it in the winter hehe

It looks like she just knitted them into a tube shape by using connected needles, so no seam required!

Again, this might not be necessary if you see that your cardigan looks relatively even and that you're happy with the un-blocked outcome :)
Ok thank u! Also does blocking change the texture of your yarn? And if u need to wash your knitted piece of clothing, does it get bigger?

Why does she put the zero mark before the first stitch, at the middle of the upright V of the stitch before the first stitch? I've seen this a lot and I seriously don't get it.
Hi just wondering what type of cast on you’re using? I’ve never seen it before
It looks like long tail cast on, but done in two steps instead of holding the two ends of yarn in one hand? I could be wrong tho
DЯAiИ G4ИG H€ЯФ ohhh now that you say that i think thats it lol. Idk why it didn’t register in my brain the first time i watched this
How long does it take? ;-;
I want to try thiis 🥰🥰
Heey ^^ where did you get the bulky yarn from? Can you find that in Europe?
Hello! I bought it from a US-based craft store called Jo-Ann's. I think you can find the same variety of yarn on ebay, yarnspirations.com, or any yarn supply website that ships to where you are. Any yarn that says that the weight is "6" or "bulky" will do! :)
@@fleuriform3024 ohhh thank you very much! I really appreciate that! 🤗
Is a 40in cable okay instead? I’m still new to this and don’t wanna mess it up. Also I’ve searched everywhere for a 12 mm needle all I could get was a 12.75mm I hope it doesn’t make a big difference even though they aren’t far off from each other you never know
I think a 40in cable will work fine, my needles were about 36in for the front ribbed trim. And a 12.75mm needle will work just fine :) Check the gauge for a more accurate measurement just to be sure though!
Shes using US size 15 yarn, if you plan on using anything smaller, get the needle size that fits the yarn. I know I didnt get gauge but because im doing more stitches most the time (on the back piece and the sleeves, so it kind of makes up for that loss in size. This pattern is very workable, i would recommend measuring yourself, and then making the pattern suit your fit. Any length of cable is good as long as the back piece can fit on the cable. You could magic loop the sleeves and do them in the round which is where I am currently on the project
Thanks guys!!!

Can I still follow the same steps as you if I didn't use the same type of bulky yarn I want to use really thin yarn
Really satisfying and calming video btw >0
@Shanti Sajnani thank you 💗
Create a Gauge Piece, knit up in the stitch you prefer until you reach desired width (i typically do a 2x4 piece) You can also go to goodknitkisses dot com to use a gauge calculator, this will take into account the weight of yarn you chose to use and the ending size you wish your piece to be. Then it calculates all your cast on amount and rows needed.
Can you make this by crochet?
You would have to considerably change the pattern to work with crochet, but if you work on it, yes you can
you just have to do trial by error really.
Great work! Can you please copy the written instructions somewhere else other than instagram because I don't have an instagram account and I am sure there are some people that would appreciate it as well. Thank you so much!

Music 😞
I need HELP!!!
This is the first time I've ever knitted in my life. I didn't think it would be so hard to make this cardigan. I'm just starting with the back part and I already have several problems. I started with 48 stitches, because I wanted an M-L size, a bit baggy.
Eventually I realized that somehow I was increasing stitches and now instead of 48, I have 73! This is certainly not normal.
Please, I need advice! I don't know when I did so many more stitches. Is there a way to fix it? On the other hand, with the 48 stitches it seemed that I wasn't wrapped around my whole hip :P
I hope someone can help me, thanks a lot!
I did my first cardigan with ua-cam.com/video/PSY4Dz1U_Uw/v-deo.html . It’s good step by step.
Second, you can do all 3 parts together till armpits and then separate it and keep going each part separately.
@@artsycupcake3669 so kind of you! thanks a lot for sharing it! :D
I don’t understand, 40 stitches is no where near big enough for the back panel! It’s perfect for the sleeve tho!
Where do you live?
so cute but doesn't seem beginner friendly🙁
This ‘music’ is so annoying!!! It’s not only distracting because of is discordance,but also hurts one’s head!! It does not help concentrating at all!!!
