Hi there I have been following your tutorial and have been getting on really well up until the sleeves, at the underarm part it is very untidy and I end up with holes what am I doing wrong ? please help x
Thank you soooo much for posting these videos. Following your instructions I was able to make a cardigan for my new grandson in ONE DAY! It was so easy too. I'm going to try to make another one a little bit larger.
Hi, your videos are really wonderful and relaxing and has a meditating effect while knitting the piece. One small request would be to mention the number of stitches at the end of each row just to make sure that we are doing the right number of increases and decreases. Thanks again.
Hi! Your instruction is so clear and perfect, I really enjoyed your videos and just finished knitting a cardigan for a new born. Thankyou so much, and wish you all the best.
Great sweater, my first ever knit from the top pattern and I have done 3 so far. Wonderful explanation and demonstration, thank you so much! I have adjusted the pattern a little bit by using a crochet cast-on instead of a long tail cast on. I found a good you tube video for this, which makes the cast on row a bit more stretchy and nicer I think. Also, instead of casting on 42 stitches, I added two more and cast on 44 (place the first marker after the 4th stitch, and the last one 4 stitches from the end), Then for the buttonhole row number 11, knit 2 together, yarn over, then knit stitches 3 and 4. It makes for a nicer button hole, and then you don't have to do any cast on stitch on the next row number 12 (purl row).
You’re the best at knitting explanations , you make it so easy and very relaxing to watch and hear you explain, thank you so so much, can’t wait to start on this project 👍🙏
Just finished this for my daughter's second boy due early November in England. Now to ship it off. Love the videos as well as printed instructions. Never done a sweater top down or in the round sleeves but now I have. Thank you.
I'm so happy I found you ! You explain so well, are so precise... I really needed and wanted to learn this technique which I couldn't understand ! Many thanks from Bergamo, Itaky👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🔝🔝🔝❤
Thank you for these videos. I’m a crocheter and struggled with knitting but I’ve taught myself to knit continental style which I find much easier. By following your instructions and rewatching several bits many times, I have made a cardigan. It's not brilliant and not fit to give anyone but I’ve learnt the technique and am confident to try another one. I worked the second sleeve in a different colour so I could see how the stitches work when you're picking them up which helped me understand the structure. Your technique and voice over is very easy to follow, you've helped me a great deal, thank you.
Hey am really struggling on sleeves it's just not sticking to me with what I need to do .. would it be possible if you could explain it to me please . The instructions are clear I'm just not able to wrap it around my head what am suppose to do 🤦♀️🙈🤦♀️ ... any suggestions?
Wow! After watching all 3 video's, I believe I can do this. I'm super excited.. my very first sweater.. hopefully I won't need to bother you with questions . Thank you so much..hugs
Thanks for teaching this way. Beginning from coller. I did not Know. Could you help. . you can teach that in another way. Thank s again Regards my Mrs S
I loved this method of knitting and the little cardigan it made. You explain it so well. Do you have a video of using this method to make a sweater for a 6-9 month old? Not a cardigan. I'd love it if you do
Hi So woolly, I have finally succeeded in following your tutorial and I'm so glad I have achieved in making the baby cardigan. Thankyou very much you really taught so well, Espy.
Thank you so much for a lovely video and easy-to-follow explanation. Can you make a video explaining how to join the sleeves in more detail, focusing in closing the underarm gap. That part isn't as clear as the rest of it. Thank you. :)
Amazing video! I had never tried to knit anything other than a blanket before and this video made it so easy to follow! You explain so well and make it feel easy! Thanks so much!
Your videos are so easy to follow, thank you. Quick question, if I want to make this blue cardigan for a baby that is 4 going on 5 months, how many extra stitches I do start with, original pattern is 40. Thanks a million
Thankyou so much for your awesome instructions. Beginner knitter and it turned out as it should 😁. I'm so stoked. Too small for my big grandi unfortunately. Could you please explain how I would convert pattern to next size up? Is it as simple as using bigger needles and following same pattern? Thanks again 😊
Your videos are excellent for this newborn cardi. The only problem I had was I could not see where you picked up and knitted the first two stitches when starting to knit the sleeve. I obviously did not do it in the right place because I have a hole in the underarm. Thank you for this wonderful pattern. And videos.
Thank you for your lovely comment, Janice. No worries, it has happened to all of us at least one. You can try to sew it up, to make the hole less apparent. Please take a look at this example: ua-cam.com/video/IDnWczZtzr8/v-deo.html Good luck :-)
Your video's are great. I know the basics of knitting but found following patterns difficult, but reading the pattern and watching your videos. I am on my second go at making this cardigan. Do you have a pattern to make it for bigger sizes e.g 3-6 months. Thanks
Great videos! Thank you for sharing your time and energy. Quick question, what stitch are you picking up before knitting in the round on the sleeves? I don't see it on the written pattern, but I see you picking up two on the video. Thank you!
Thank you! When you pick up the stitches for knitting the sleeves, you'll see a hole just where the underarm starts. There are 2 ways of solving this: either, you pick up the stitches from the scratch yarn, knit the sleeve, and then close the hole using your darning needle to sew it...or you pick up a couple stitches from each side of the sleeve, as I did this time, to avoid the hole. Later, knitting the sleeve, those stitches will be decreased. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your easy to follow baby cardigan. I have made it for our first baby grandson.❤ may I know how I calculate the stiches and length for adult side? I love to knit for myself this lovely easy pattern.
I was doing so good until the sleeves! I lost count of how many rows I knit in the magic loop. Is there a way to tell count them to see if I have 10 rows and can start decreasing?
Couldn't wait to start on the sleeves. I thought it was going to be a peice of cake 😮.....until I was all tangled up with cable.... in all fingers and thumbs. However after a while studying your video I persevered and the sleeves seem to be coming along OK... although under the arms looks a little rugged but i've got a bit of a rhythm going now. 😅 thank you for the tutorial.
Quick question for the sleeves: Do you decrease on the first set of 10 rounds only, or do you continue to decrease once with each set of 10 until it measures 6 inches? Im so close to the finish line! 😂🎉
I'm rushing back just to let you know I realised my mistake 😂 after reading and watching several times I've figured it out. Thanks again, I will be following. Please do more all in one patterns it helps my soul 😂❤
I need to buy needles and suitable wool etc. to knit this easy newborn cardigan. I am new to knitting. Can you recommend a dependable website where I can make the purchase for all that I need. Thank you.
Thank you sooo much for the video on how to knit a baby cardigan . Your videos are soo clear and easy to follow🥰🥰🥰 ... for me I think initial start up was just a lil where I messed until I reread the instructions and undone all the work for the first half.... Then next bit was the sleeves I just struggled at the start on actually how to do it so I left it until the following day which is today 🙈 and manage to complete it as shown on Instagram.... not perfect but hopefully with practice it will be .. although working in a circular motion was ok not as bad as I thought it was at the start... My only issue is I cant knit fast I'm quite a slow knitter although I only knitted the cardigan in 3 parts maybe 2 hours a day ... how can I pick up the pace, any tips please?
Thank you Amina! I’m glad you made it! Sometimes we just to need to start! And there is always a first time 😉 In the other hand, I think that quality is much better than quantity. It doesn’t matter if you can’t knit more than 2 hours a day. The most important thing is that you enjoy them and can concentrate to avoid mistakes. If you really love knitting, it will become an habit, and you’ll always find the space 🤗 Cheers and happy knitting 🧶
For the stockinette pattern on sleeve is it not required to knit one row then purl another ? Do all the rows (except last 3 garter) need to be knit for sleeves ?
Hi So Woolly, Thank you for this great pattern...I'm nearly finished! One question; after row 11 on the sleeves, do I continue to decrease until the sleeve measures 6 inches? Or is the decrease just for Row 11? Thank you :)

Hello Justine, I don't think so (for this pattern). I have another cardigan in several sizes made completely with straight needles: ua-cam.com/video/i8UMaRaN7S0/v-deo.html

Instead of using the magic loop technique on the sleeves, can I just use a small 9 inch circular needle?
I was doing so good until the sleeves! I lost count of how many rows I knit in the magic loop. Is there a way to tell count them to see if I have 10 rows and can start decreasing?
No worries, measure the sleeve: 10 rows are 3.6 cm approximately 😉
Me too I was so excited when infinished the 2 part and goofed up some where in the sleeve part
