1. This is a tutorial on how to knit 2 sleeves at once on one circular needle. Whattttt! Yep. You definitely do not have to do this technique, but I wanted to show you that it's an option just in case you want to try it sometime! It uses magic loop method. If you're unfamiliar with that method, check out this video too: blog.expressio...
2. You can use it in patterns like our Storyteller cardigan if you want! Up to you. This pattern is cozy, comfy and is something you'll reach for again and again! And it has pockets. WOOP!

My brain is exploding right now because I'm no where near this level. But, I have to watch. It's a preview to new possibilities that one day I'll be able to do!
Soon you will doing even more advanced techniques! 😘
I really love it! It would be so awesome if you could show a complete tutorial how to knit the wonderful Cardigan 💙🙏
Oooo, I haven't had enough coffee for this yet! 😂 Love this sweater, it's gorgeous.
😂😂
😂😂 I'm so glad you like the sweater! ❤️
This was great, I had to watch it twice to fully understand it and will def try doing this with the Storyteller cardigan….thank you! 🧶♥️
I knit my socks this way, for sure!
Someone asked about markers- I definitely use markers to mark beginning of each round, each sock. My trick is to use a BLUE marker for the BEGINNING of sock (or sleeve) number 1.... and a different color for the other. Helps me to keep track when I set knitting down, where I am.
That is a clever idea! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Just learned magic loop thanks to your previous vid, and now you're coming out with something that's going to help me with a funny project! You have perfect timing, and this technique is going to save me (1) needles, (2) time, and (3) possible frustration!
Great to hear! 😍
Your videos are the best! I truly enjoy your awesome spirit. Your wit, and the way you teach! I taught myself to knit...I"m still a beginner and your tips and tricks are wonderful. I will follow your channel forever, girl!
You are the best! 😘💕
I love this! I always knit the sleeves at the same time but flat so I really appreciate this.
Glad it was helpful! 💕💕
I LOVE your videos! Your sense of playful humor makes me smile and laugh! Thank you!
Thank you! 💕
Hi, could you please do a video on cardigan pattern you are wearing, really looking forward to it. Thank you
This tutorial is GREAT!!!!!! I'm bookmarking it because I, at last, can see how to do Magic whatever. (I have tried before and added a bit of blue language to the attempt every time). Chandi, your calm, logical approach is SO helpful. Now to go and watch it all the way through again...because I feel the need for leg warmers....). :) Thank you Thank you again!
I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video! 😍😍
I LOVE this technique! I've tried to explain it to others with sad outcomes, but YOU explain it so much clearer! I even use 2 sleeves at once when knitting flat!
That is awesome! 💕
Bam Fam and Elaine....this has to be the funniest vid to date The cardi is EPIC!!!!!!
Thanks, Lori!!! 😂😂💕💕😘😘
You've changed my life! 😁
Aww, thank you! 💕 I hope for the better. 😉
I have just finished this cardigan and it is spectacular, it has taken me a while as there is a lot of knitting but it was definitely worth the effort, I used the same colour as in the video and it is a nice colour for the item. I love the yarn and the pattern.
Wonderful! I'm so glad you're pleased with it!
Hi. How much time did it take for you to knit it?
@@the_good_citizen I have to say months maybe 3 but I did knit a large size but there is a lot of garment and I am not very quick with circular needles. I think it was worth all the work everyone loves it, in fact two friends asked it I could knit it for them.
Great job of showing how this is done. I know there will be a learning curve, but as long as I can avoid dpns and some of the other annoyances of sleeve-knitting, I’m on board.
You can do it! 💕
Love this cardigan! I love the textured stitch I am making this in a navy blue. Thank you Chandi! 💕
You're very welcome!
Love this tutorial... I am working on sweater sleeves now and I wish I had seen this tutorial before I started them!! Next sweater for sure... thank you!!!
You are welcome! 😘💕
I'm knitting my first sweater now, and I'm definitely going to try this for the sleeves! Thanks, Chandi!
Wonderful! Have fun!
Wwooowwwww, Chandi, you're always be at the first line, because always you give us important things to complet ours targets... God bless you all the time... Thank's from México, and have a happy weekend...
I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well! 💕
Perfect timing!!!!
I'm knitting a sweater!!
But eeek, might need a 60" cable!
It's an XL top-down cardigan (in a bulky yarn) and I only have a 40".
Tim's laughter in the background is priceless!!! 😂🤣
I'm so glad it was perfect timing! Tim is sooo silly! 😂
Unusual, but it is clear that simple. I need a little practice. Thanks!
You are welcome!
Thank you for this helpful tutorial. Always enjoy your videos.
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Oh my god always have a lot of smiles watching your videos plus I learn a lot, so my hobby it’s more fun and easier to make thing🦋 love it thank you
That is awesome! Thank you so much! ❤️
I think I'm going to try to knit this as my 1st sweater!!! ❤❤❤❤
Woohoo! 🥳 🎊 🙌
Such a beautiful cardigan! I think this technique is great! It does make for 2 even pieces that will get finished, lol. Thanks for sharing Chandi! Have a great weekend!💞
Thank you! 😊 I hope you have an amazing weekend as well! ❤️
✌️😄
I love to watch your videos 😃❤️! Thank you! Warm regards from Slovenia ✨
Thank you! 😃❤️
This is a great tutorial on a technique that I’ve needed to add to my skill set, thank you! Also I love the cardigan! ❤️
Thank you! 😍
When she says "Elaine" at the end, I perked up😂
😊
Awesome “how to” Chandi. Your videos are always so well done. Always enjoy your Chanel. Thank you for all you do. Peace ☮️ and Love ❤️!
Thank you so much! 💕
This is so amazing and cool, thank you! I actually have a 1-sleeved cardigan which has been waiting a year for completion. I cannot wait to try this method! I would love to see the picking up stitches method with this technique.
You're so welcome! yes, we need to do a follow up video on that!
very good explained! love the vidio edition, so funny :)
Thank you, thank you thank you! I have watched several videos on how do to this and ended up with a bit of an awkward tangled mess, so I gave up. Your method is different and makes total sense to me.
Glad I could help! ❤️❤️
OH! I'm cross-eyed right now! I see a 'bird's nest' in my future!! Thanks again for all you do!
❤️❤️
Would love to see an example using the pick up stitches method for sleeves. Thank you.
That definitely would be helpful.
Yes, I would love to see that too 😊
Great suggestion! We can work on that!
Yes for sure am a good knitter and am I’m amazed by beautiful garments she makes, yet I can see how I would get all messed up at some point and not knowing how to finish. Certainly takes a lot of work to do entire tutorials and completely understand if she choose not to. Just secretly wish she would 😘
ExpressionFiberArts
You are both graceful and beautiful to watch and am so thankful for your creations 🥰
Such a wonderful technique! Thank you!
You are so welcome! 💕
You are realy amazing,you have so much ideeas, it's easy to work with you. You are my favorite Chandi. Happy weekend my dear 💐☕🤗
Thank you so much 😊 I hope you have the most wonderful day! 😍
Love it! Thank you Chandi...🤗🥰😚
You are so welcome! 😘💕
Thanks for sharing! Its a great idea. Definitely going to try it.
Wonderful! 💕
Totally beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
I just love to watch your videos 😍
Aww, thank you so much 💕
Wow! Amazing! I’ll have to give this technique a try.
❤️❤️
I always use this method! Otherwise I would have a ton of unfinished projects 🤦🏻♀️
I totally get it! ❤️
So pretty!!! Thanks for the tutorial!
You are so welcome!
I have started using 2 diff color circular needles instead of magic loop. I bet this will work like dream! Thankyou
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for showing that technique may have to try
No problem 👍
Thanks for the tutorial.I knit both sleeves at the same time using just two needles.The same happens with the two front parts of a cardigan.
Fabulous!
Great tutorial but I would end up with tangled yarn everywhere! Haha. I like the idea, but will likely just to two sleeves at the same time, going back and forth between two separate circulars. I do love the cardigan!
Glad you enjoyed it. Really, the most important thing is to find what works for you!
I love your videos!
Thank you!
Can you do a tutorial with the pattern?
Wow, Chandi! I think this will get me to maybe try to make a garment 😃
Go for it! 💕
Hey Chandi! The skein on your hands is really, really beautiful, the color reminds me of ice cream 😍
Thank you so much 🤗❤️
I love the sweater and I'm adding it to my must make list. I do think this is a no go for me. I just think I would get frustrated. Maybe down the line. I have never used the magic loop method which is most likely why I feel as I do
Totally understand that! It can sometimes be a bit fiddly. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. ❤️
I NEED this cardigan 😍 but first I have to figure out how to knit 🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😘💕
Funny, don't know why I never thought to do this with sleeves considering I almost always do socks that way, ha. I get tangles more if I work from the same ball, lol. Great for plying though. I have to use ball sacks too to keep from getting my yarns tangled up lol.
❤️❤️
This method is so awesome. Thanks for showing us how to do it.
You are so welcome!
Please show us the picking up stitches method, I need a visual on how the body is hanging, where to pick up from, where to pull the cable through from, will it leave a gap in the shoulder if I'm pulling through there..... 🤔...... So many questions! 😅
Great idea! We can work on that!
@@ExpressionFiberArts excellent thank you so much ❤️
That was a cool technique going to try it out thx for sharing
You bet 💕
Ooooo OK. Being an adventurous beginner I will practice this technique. Chandi you have made me put down my hooks and pick up my needles. That's a problem... because I now, feel like I'm cheating on my crochet... Lol. I'm still working on the Anuket shawl. It's a slow process for me but it's coming out gorgeous. I'm in love with your yarns too😍 my husband said "Don't you think you should use the yarn you already have and then order more?" I said, " Honey, then it's gonna be sold out! I must order NOW" 😉 I'm hooked! Your Paprika Oasis Fingering yarn should arrive Monday!!! I can't wait!! I'm like a kid on Christmas day😂
Love you Chandi 💜 Thank you for all you do. Have a blessed day😊
You've got this Deirdre! I have to remind my husband (when it comes to buying fabric) that you can never have enough! 😂😂 I hope you love the Paprika yarn! Love you too! And I hope you have the most amazing weekend! 😘💕
Haha... my husband says the same thing about using the yarn I already have! He also tells me I should finish one project before starting another...what?!? I try to tell him that's just not how it works!
Opened pandora's box a few weeks ago when I ordered yarn from @Expressionfiberarts.com for the first time! May never be able to settle for anything less now😬
@@melaniewake7838 I know right? I REALLY don't want to buy any other yarn now!🤷 Welcome to Chandi's World😊
Can I PLEASE have the link to this pattern?!! Thank you for your joy and for sharing your skills!! 🥰
You can find the link in the description area. Just scroll down to it. Or give to her website to get get it.
Here is the link for you: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/storyteller.html
@@ExpressionFiberArts thank you!! I'm so excited to start this beautiful project!!
@@ExpressionFiberArts Chandi, it shows this link has moved or is no longer available. Would really love to get this pattern.
I absolutely 💯% Needed this This morning 🌄 🙌 🥰💞!!!!
I love knitting two at a time ❤ 💕! Since learning it's come so naturally and socks have been my nemesis 😁😅🤣.. sleeves are the same because I never thought to do those at the same time 😄!! I have been working on a pair of socks though, slowly 🐌... and I keep putting them down, I've been procrastinating 🧚🏼♀️living in a fairytale thinking umm they'll get done 🤔...but i want to finish my "Patchwork Cartigan" first and I started it from the bottom up, it's on the fly, different yarns, and different stitches, not too complex but i just want to finish it before winter in Michigan 😫, ya know 🙏🏼. I'll need those prayers for the separation at the sleeves to work on the rest of the body ugh but I am determined to getterdone 😉. You know me, I've been persistent with my learning to as it was.. Love 💘 sweetie 😘💕💖🙏🏼!! Be Safe and Stay Healthy!! 😷🆙️
#GPWarrior💚🥄🧘🏼♀️
You've got this! I hear you about getting that piece done before winter! 🥶 Is it starting to get chilly there already? Love you too! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! ❤️😍💕❤️😍💕
@@ExpressionFiberArts i have decided to start on the "Creery" as well, No Pressure 😲🥴... 😆 ... yes indeed it's getting 🥶 here.. limited on time so I'm working feverishly.. I got this..I have more 🧶 coming to finish both my projects so I can go back and forth between them. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
XOXOX 💋!
Any chance getting the updated pattern?? I bought the wool last summer and it would be great to finish this beautiful cardigan. I don’t want my money to go waste.
We’re nearly finished with all the retesting! Please reach out to us here for your size www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/
Size “S” pattern would be great. Thank you 😊
Brilliant as always :)
Thank you! Cheers!
You are so beautiful. ❤
This is a great tutorial.
Glad you liked it!! Thank you so much. 💕
Hello Chandi! I 💜 the cardigan and I had to have it 😉. I am currently knitting Storyteller. I didn’t get to print all the patterns. I am not able to get the pattern anymore. Please help me get this pattern again!
Hi Donna! We found some mistakes in the pattern and we are currently working on fixing it. I'm so sorry. We just want to make sure we get it right. As soon as we reupload the pattern we will make an announcement. ❤️
Excellent! Thanks!
Hola desde España me encanta y me gusta todo lo que haces,te veo pero por desgracia no se inglés no te entiendo no podrías poner subtítulos gracias
Thank you Chandi and expression fiber arts team. This is such a great technique ! I might be less intimidated to knit my first cardigan.
Question: as you said when both yarn strand are on the same side means you knitted the full row, does that mean I don't need a stitch marker?
Correct! You shouldn't need one unless the pattern calls for it or you feel more comfortable with one.
Not fair Chandi😂😂Dumbos like me need to see the actual sleeve on the body of the sweater...😂😂
Sorry about that. If you need additional pattern help, you can always send us an email at info@expressionfiberarts.com.
@@ExpressionFiberArts Hi Chandi, I had a question. Since the front and back of the sleeve are on two separate sides of the cable, there is a gap betwen the stiches. (due to the loose yarn) Will this gap show later when the sleeves are done?
@@the_good_citizen You'll want to give the first and second stitches a tug after each turn to ensure you pull the gap closed. :)
I like this cardigan so much, is there a pattern?
Yes, this is the Storyteller cardigan: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/storyteller.html
You can always find the links to the patterns featured in our videos in the full video description, too.
Thank you.
Bellissimo, complimenti! 😍😍😍💝💝💝🌹🌹🌹
😍😍
Thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️💖
You are so welcome! ❤️
I think I'm doing something wrong with this, I seem to end up with a loose stitch, especially when I'm increasing stitches, any advice because I love the idea, I hate sewing up. 😊
Hi Anne,
does it happen every time you do an increase? What kind of increase are you doing? M1 left or right, kfb, backwards loop?
You can always email us through the contact form as well: www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/
and we'll be able to give you more in-depth help.
Have a nice weekend! 😍
Can you try on your sweater to see if the sleeves are decreasing correctly for your arm? I frequently like to try on my sleeves as I knit and make adjustments as I go. You are right it is really difficult to make sure you keep track of every single round to duplicate it.
Sure, absolutely!
I can’t find the pattern on your website
It would be helpful to see it on an actual sweater :)
❤️
I saw that the Storyteller cardigan pattern was taken down from your website. I was wondering if it would be put back up anytime soon.
We are almost finished retesting it. We have 3 sizes that need to be completed before we are completely finished. You can write us here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/ and we will let you know if your size is finished testing 💕 Thanks!
i liked it very much ... can ihave this kind of threads and colors
You can find the yarn here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/storyteller.html
Wow 🤩
☺️
Hi Chandi, is there a pattern for the cardigan in this video? Absolutely love it!
Yes there is! You can find it here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/storyteller.html
I was wondering demonstrate how to measure for size in sweater in case you haven't i was looking but i didn't see one from you
We haven't done a video on that yet, but that is definitely something that we can do!
Do you have a video of picking up the stitches and working both sleeves? I Prefer not sewing them on. LOL
Hi Val, this technique works exactly the same when picking up stitches when doing a raglan style sweater not just for sewn in sleeves. We just opted to show it this way.
I hope this helps! Have a nice day! 😍
@@ExpressionFiberArts Thank you for reply. I did find a video showing how to do both sleeves on the shirt at same time. :)
Tejes de maravillas, tus tejidos son tan bellos, me encantaría que pudieras poner subtítulos en español para poder entender mejor todos los detalles, te mando saludos desde Chile
Thank you! ❤️❤️
This cardigan is gorgeous! The link to the pattern appears broken and I can’t find the pattern on the website. Are you no longer offering this pattern?
We are currently fixing the pattern, as it had some mistakes in it. We will definitely put out notice when it is available again. So sorry about that!
@@ExpressionFiberArts no worries! Thank you!
Hi Chandi, I love this cardigan. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be available on your website. Could you let me know how I can get my knitting paws on a copy. Dying to start it. Thanks
Hi, Laura! There were some mistakes in the pattern, so we took it off the site for now. When we have finished making the correction, we will re-upload it. I'm so sorry it is not available to you right now, just want to make sure that it is right. ❤️
@@ExpressionFiberArts Thank you soooo much for your reply. Looking forward to to getting this pattern. Best regards Laura
Others who have knitted the Storyteller pattern and noted their experience on RAVELRY have pointed out numerous errors. Is there an errata page? Thanks.
Yes, we are having the pattern re-tested and we will be release it as soon as that process is completed. Thanks!
Do you have a pattern for a cardigan with collar, I like this one you are giving the tutorial on (gray one) I do li
We don't have a cardigan pattern with a collar. That is definitely something that we can work on.
The main stitching for this cardigan is something I’m not familiar with. Can you demonstrate?
We are going to have to do a video on that stitch. ❤️
Oh my... I would love to knit this but I can't find the pattern 😕
*edit*
Found it on Ravelry. It says its not available at this time as its being retested
Yes, we are working on re-testing it. It has been a little bit of a challenge, but we are hoping to re-release it.
@@ExpressionFiberArts thank you!, I have knit the world tour and I loved it! Actually I love all of your patterns💖💖💖
Muy lindo, soy de Ecuador por favor que lana es? Donde la puedo conseguir
Thank you! This is our Resilient sock yarn, which you can find here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/wool-sock-yarn.html
I love that cardigan, how many yarn use
You can find all of the details here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/storyteller.html ❤️
Hi, can this be used with top-down sweater leaves
You sure can!
How do you avoid the ladders?
Hi Jamie, do I assume correctly that you're referring to laddering while knitting the sleeves using dpns and/or magic loop? If you use one of these techniques it's important that you vary the location of pulling the cord (-> magic loop) or the locations of where the dpns end (meaning knitting at least 1 -2 sts past the last stitch on every needle every round).
I hope this makes sense. If not please don't hesitate to reach out to us via the contact form at www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/
We're happy to explain further.
Have a lovely day! 💕
@@ExpressionFiberArts yes Chandi, that’s what I do too. I wondered if you had another approach and since you didn’t mention it I thought I’d ask. 😊
So far unable to obtain pattern site says page not found would love to purchase
Yes, we are working on updating it! It should be ready in a few weeks. We will make an announcement when it is ready. ☺️
So I saw the pattern has been removed from the site because of typos to whatever. For those of us who are almost halfway through the sweater (currently on row 75 of the body) can you please tell us what the misdirections are? I saw that stitch count was off by several stitches when I finished the yolk but so far it looks like it should. Would love some direction since I’ve got a good amount of time and money invested in this project. Do you have an email address I can communicate with you directly?
Yes! Please write us here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/ that will be the perfect way to communicate.
Hi, I tried to use the link for the pattern but is doesnt work. Is it available elsewhere? Also I am wondering if just the stich pattern is available somewhere? :) thank you
There were some mistakes in the pattern, so we are working on updating it. Hopefully it will be ready soon!

Thank you… I probably watched 6x and took notes.
I tried other sites and you were the easiest to follow
Thank you … I think I’ve got the rhythm 🧶
Glad it helped! 💜
I want to try this pattern but the only thing is that I have a bunch of worsted weight yarn that I would like to use for it. I’ve always followed what patterns recommend as far as yarn weight goes. Is there a way that I could use worsted weight yarn for this pattern? I’ve heard you talk about gauge before but what happens to the swatch after you make it?
Because of the type of garment you would be making. You would have to do some math (.basically rewrite the pattern) if you were to use worsted weight yarn. I hope this helps. ❤️
ExpressionFiberArts how would I go about doing that?
@@namiwolflover14 you would need to use the worsted weight yarn to get your gauge. Then use that math to determine the number of stitches that would correlate a certain size of the pattern. Then make sure you have the correct number of stitches that are allowable per row in order to create the piece... etc. It is a pretty long process that I wouldn't recommend. ❤️
Will y’all have a black resilient sock yarn in the future? Cause I’m in dyer need of a black cardigan..
We can have some black dyed up for you! Please check back in a couple of weeks and it should be on the site.
Yay!!! I’m super excited!!
