some extra info i missed out!
- i used around 75/80g of each colour for this jumper (i made an oversized size small); this jumper was made using double crochets, with colour changes every 2 rows
- i used around 750/800g for the orange/brown grandad sweater i wore in the intro (it's maybe a size large); this was made using single crochets and a 5mm hook
hey sorry but isn't the stitch in the grandad sweater a half double crochet?
nope I used single crochet :) it was one of my first projects and I only really knew how to sc@@alex.under999
hi! just checking. The one that you were wearing right in the beginning (with the green and brown) is the oversized small that you used ~75-80g of each color for? and the one you wore starting around :19 was around 750/800g for each color? I have a limited supply of the yarn I want to use (I got it on vacation and have about 200g each of 3 colors) and want to make sure!
U did not forgot to add how to make a ribbing
hi! the jumper which used 750/800g is a self-striping yarn so i didn't do any colour changes! that yarn is thicker and also the jumper is bigger than the one i make in the video :) @@acolling67
My favorite thing about this video is that it is not only a tutorial on making this particular sweater, but you are showing how to create your own design and how easy it is. Thank you!
I just started this last night and I'm already pretty close to the neckline. The instructions are so clear and easy. Thank you so much!! I'm doing a DC with black and red yarn! I'm so excited!
How did it go?
i dont know if i’m just really slow but how did you get to the neckline so fast omg mine took me like four days 😅
@@mikkelgravesen8420 It went really well! I'm done with it now and it looks just like theirs.
@@annak8436 I don't remember what stich they used but i used a DC and I had bigger yarn so it was quick for me.
Omg i did the same!
I've never watched a video like this where I wasn't frustrated at all and I completely understood everything so well! You're the best teacher ever, love you and thank you!!

This tutorial is amazing. I'm almost finished with my sweater - the second arm is still missing. Even though the collar and attaching the arm to the body panel was a bit tricky I got it in the end. Thank you very much Emily for this step by step tutorial, very beginner friendly.

I wanna keep myself busy since I have nothing to do and all my projects are done so i figured why not create my own clothes for once :) im looking forward to starting this!!
It is taking me so long to make this lolllll I started I think 3 months ago and I just finished the 2 body panels. I don't work on it that much because I have other hobbies and responsibilities but it is so slow. I'm committed and it will probably be done by the time the weather gets cold enough to wear it again 🥹 that you for the tutorial it is very helpful especially since I need to go back and check the instructions bc I forget what I'm doing 🙏🏼
Ooohh my gosh....i was waiting for this...
Came here from ur insta page...so excited to make one🥹🥹
thank you! i appreciate it :)

Hello Emily! I am very grateful to you for this video. After watching it only once I understood everything. Especially since I live in Ukraine. And it is very difficult to find understandable tutorials. I will look forward to the new video!Sorry for possible mistakes because I am writing through a translator.
hello emily you did a good job explaining how to crochet a jumper, I have been looking for a tutorial on how to crochet one, thank you, Chrissy

Can't thank you enough! Spent days searching for a decent pattern to use the yarn I have available, and then eventually found this!
Hope you've settled into your new job & routine x

amazing i can’t wait to see it! :)
i am from Russia and THANKS. your tutorial it is cool!!
ty!
GOOD JOB!!!👕
Hey!! I’m just finishing up my back body panel right now, and I’m a little confused on how you crocheted the panels/sleeves together using a stitch. If you could link a video or explain that’d be great!! You’re such an amazing instructor I can’t wait to finish this!
hey! i’ll have a look for a video but you just need to place the two pieces together, attach your yarn to both by knotting in through a stitch on both panels, then chain 1, and single crochet or slip stitch in both panels! i’m not sure if that makes sense but it’s sort of like you’re making an extra row up the side but it’s creating a seam that joins the two pieces together
@@crochemily you explained it perfectly! Thank you so much!
Hello! Im at the part where I’m shaping the neckline and Im doing hdc decreases should I chain 2 or just chain 1?
hi! i've been following your steps! but i wanna ask, do you do the invisible seam or do you do single crochet seam and change the color every time the color of the row changes for the right and the left side of the panels?
thank you!
my wrists hurt :( BUT DEAR GOD THIS TUTORIAL HELPED ME SO MUCH THANK YOU :)
Your account is criminally underrated 😭🫶🏼
Notes for me:
- 7:26 decrease stitches
- account for the ribbing 2-3 inches
- shoulder to shoulder
- under the neck (near collarbone) to how long you want
Hey! This tutorial is perfect i’ve watched it so many times now😭 Im using the yellow/green yarn from the first jumper and wondered what the name of the yarn you used for your ribbing was? Thank youu
it's the cygnet acrylic dk yarn in the shade chocolate :)
That's so so nice. Could you do a granny square cardigan? 😮
ty! and yes i will put it on the list :)
hello! thank you for the usefull video :) i was wondering if i can make the ribbing after i joined the body parts ??
yes of course! :)
when you do the ribbing of the collar and cinch it in, do you slip stitch twice all the way around? or just in the beginning? sorry if that doesn’t make sense lol
all the way around! so after each two rows, when you get to slip stitching to the body, if you want it to be cinched/tapered you'll do an additional slip stitch every time
I'm gonna try this but with super bulky chenille yarn! Wish me luck! ❤
good luck!!
@@crochemily Thank you 🩷
Hi may I ask which yarn did you use for the one you wear in the intro
hey babes !! This was so amazing and I'm so excited about making my first clothing piece! I do have a question!!! It's about when you're single crocheting the panels together. Are you switching out colors as you do so to match the stripes ??? If you did how did you do that ?? I've been wondering if I can just use one color to crochet the panels together. Thank you so much again for all your hard work on your videos !!!!!
ty! yes i did switch the colours when crocheting the sides together! i started off with the brown and when it came to the next colour i finished the last stitch with the next colour (if that makes sense? there's a little tutorial on changing colours within the vid) and then would carry the colours not being used underneath the other stitches until it was time to pick it up again when i got to the next stripe of that specific colour! hopefully that makes sense but let me know if not!
@@crochemily omg !!! okay yes this totally makes sense,, I was almost going to cut it each time and weave in the ends as I go BUT carrying the yarn over is so much better THANK YOU SM
thank you sm for the tutorial! i would love to also make one but i am not sure what kind of yarn i should use, because i habe heard that acrylic yarn jumpers are not breathable so you sweat a lot when wearing them. what is your experience with that? would you say its a problem?
i've always found acrylic to be fine! it'll be sweaty if it's hot weather obviously but for colder weather i think its perfectly fine! it's just like wearing polyester i guess, which can be a little sweaty but not terrible!
DROP MORE CROCHET TUTORIALS
i’m planning on it! i just work full time so have to make videos around that! 😩🫶
After each 2 rows of DC (on the main panels and the sleeves) is it a chain 1 and then flip and crochet into the last dc? Xx
hey! if I'm honest, i personally only chain 1 after each row and turn regardless of the stitch i use but you are meant to chain 3 after each row for double crochet! i personally find that just chaining one makes it look smoother but it is recommended to chain 3 to get to the same height as the double crochets
When you change colour for the next stripe, do you cut the colour you were using then add it on the next row ? , I hope that makes sense 😅thank youuu
i’m not sure what you mean by add it on the next row but i’ll trim the colour i just finished with, leaving a few inches as a tail, and change into the next colour & then i’ll use that tail to create a few knots with the starting tail of the new colour just to really secure it and then i’ll weave in the tails at the end :) i’m not sure if that makes sense?
hi! love the tutorial, ive only been crocheting for a few weeks but i wanted to push myself to make something like this, so i will be following this video! the brown/orange yarn you used for the single crochet jumper is out of stock on amazon (im guessing because of this video haha), do you have any recommendations for some similar yarn?
amazing thank you! maybe if you search self-striping orange/brown yarn online you will be able to find something in your area! a lot of brands make similar yarns but i don’t know anything that is exact off the top of my head :)
I started this sweater but accidentally made one of the panels too wide, 84 stitches 😅 haven't finished the panel yet but I'm too far up with too many stripes to frog it. Can I just make the other panel slightly smaller? It's not absurdly big, but I'm in doubt
Hey loving this pattern!! Im just starting the bottom ribbing and had a couple of questions:
1. You said the last stitch in the row away from the body should be a regular single crochet, after youve done the turning chain should you then do a regular single crochet for the first stitch in the next row too?
2. After you slip stitch to attach the ribbing to the rest of the jumper do you need a turning chain before you start the next row?
hey! thank you! 1. the first stitch should be a back loop only stitch, it’s only that last stitch away from the body that should be a regular sc as this is what gives the ribbing a clean edge! 2. i do a turning stitch but i’m sure you could just not do one? i think it makes it less fiddly if you do do one but you just need to take into account that you’ll have an extra stitch and not to crochet into that when coming back down the row otherwise you’ll increase the stitch count (hope this makes sense 🥲)
@@crochemily sorry for the late reply but that made total sense! Thank you so much, nearly finished with my jumper and loved this pattern + appreciate the reply!
Hi Emily, thank you for the tutorial! When creating the neckline, is it more important to look at whether the stitches (where the stitch markers are going to be) align when folded or should I consider that there should be the same amount of stitches from both sides? Hope the question is clear!
Also, it seems my two panels are off by one or so chains - will this be very problematic later one?
hey! i would say either is fine and that it doesn’t matter all too much which one you go for as i’m sure they’ll likely be very similar! but personally i would go for distance from the edge rather than the number of stitches as i feel like that would look more symmetrical :)
Do I really need to stretch out my chain at the beginning? I feel like when I do that I don't reach my required width. I made a chain of 60 and it stretched out to 50 cm. But when I started my rows I noticed how it did not stretch out to 50 cm... so now I don't know whether it will eventually stretch out or if I need to make a longer chain.
i mean to stretch it so that it's straight :) i find my chains curl so I stretch them to straighten them and see if they meet my measurement! sometimes though, you might find that as you make your panels it will start getting a little bigger as your tension is usually tighter for a foundation chain than for your regular stitches (just from my own experience)
So I have some finger weight yarn or superfine yarn, can I use it to make this. If yes, what size hook would I need?
yes for sure! i suppose it would depend on what the label says if you still have it! but i’d say a pretty small hook like maybe 3/3.5mm?
Can you please tell how much yarn I will need for one colour sweater?
Hi! This was a great tutorial. The only problem I have is the back of the jumper comes up when I wear it. It sort of looks like the back panel is shorter than the front but I have done the same amount of rows for each panel. Does anyone know why this happens?
Is it also possible instead of measuring how broad your sleeves have to be, to count the rows of the panel (of the hole for the sleeves) and then crochet as many chains as rows in order to later attache the sleeves to the panel one chain to one row? Or will it be to tight and stretch the sleeves to much and create little see through spaces (or little holes)? I'm sorry if it is described complicated.
yes I think that would work! i think for this though you have to be careful with which stitch you use as a single crochet is shorter than a double crochet for example, so if you used double crochet you will need more stitches than single crochet as its taller - if that makes sense?
ok. Didn‘t think about the stich size, but I‘ll try it out, maybe with two chains per row. Thanks
Loved the tutorial 💗 the jumper is giving major fall vibes honestly 🧸 .
I want to make this but I'm kinda confused, could you please tell me the total yarn you used in making of this jumper.
Please please 🥺
I really need it.
hey! thanks so much :) i used around 75g of each colour so 300g total!
@@crochemily Thank you so much 💗 I'll start making it soon and will tag you on ig once I'm done.
Realy thought this would take me a month and once I got past my fear of messing it up I’ve been blowing through this no problem. (Only problem is that I ran out of yarn 😔)
Hi! First of all thank you for making this superclear video :) I am currently working on the bottom ribbing, but mine seems so much more tight than yours and I am not sure if it the sweater will fit me when it's done. Do you know what possibly went wrong with my bottom ribbing and do you have tips to make the bottom ribbing more loose?
hm that’s strange im not too sure! make sure you’re making a row for each stitch & maybe you could not skip a stitch when you slip stitch to the body to help make it wider? let me know if that helps? :)
@@crochemily Thaank you! I think that'll work out :)
Just wondering if i wanted to make the sweater one color, about how many bundles of yarn would i need?
it really depends on your size/measurements! i'm a size small and used about 4 100g balls
I’m planning on making this and I was wondering, what stitch did you use to sew the two main body panels together? Great tutorial by the way. I saw ur autumn colored sweater on Pinterest and wanted to try this so bad, then one day this popped up on my recommended page!
i single crocheted them together! you can use slip stitch or sew them together though, i just find single crochet easier and faster! and thank you! :)
@@crochemilydid you switch your colors each time you reached a new one in the stripes? Like when you were sewing the panels together, if you did, does it make a big difference?
yes i did :) the only difference that it makes is that it looks more seamless (so say if i used one colour yarn to join them, you'd likely see the different colour poking through which i don't like)@@Thatweird_art-girl
@@crochemily how would you do that? Would I just cut it off after every stitch or something else?
no so when i changed colour i would drop the colours not in use and crochet over them using the yarn that i’m using to join the sides at the moment if that makes sense? :)
Ik im asking too many questions but, when you are slip stitching/sewing the panels together, do you turn it inside out after?
yes! so the seams will be on the inside of your jumper :)
Ok thanks!!!!!
I made the chain so it can stretch to 19 inches like you did but in every row it kept getting larger up to 21 or more inches is that normal or am I doing something wrong??
yes that can happen when the tension of your foundation chain is tighter than the tension of your stitches and it will create a sort of curved shape as you start making rows! i'd recommend either creating your foundation chain looser than you normally would or making it shorter to account for that increase in width :)
