i don't know why i put myself through painful messes of crocheting sweaters and cardigans, but here i am once again, and this time, it's a design inspired by the Irish brand, Hope Macaulay. with chunky sweaters trending already, I thought i'd put my take on it. mind you, i made a bajillion mistakes along the way and professional crocheters will probably laugh at this attempt, but hey, i saved myself $300, so beat that.

Let me stop you right at the beginning for a minute. You designed and drafted a crochet pattern by yourself without the help of outside sources. That is what designers do and you should be proud of that. There is no need to apologize that you didn't do it "correctly" because you have the finished product and it fits wonderfully on you. That is what matters!
omg thank you so much!! that means a lot 😭💕
It's pretty good right
Yes exactly!
I’ve never followed a pattern for anything I’ve crocheted and it always looks bad, but I can be proud of that? 🥺😂
@@emperor8716 as long as you like it
i honestly love the fact you didn't use the proper terms I feel like I understand whats going on so much more
YES it is so much easier for beginners (like me lol) to understand
same!!!
Same, whenever I tried to watch a different tutorial, it was like they're speaking in another language.
rightttt
Yeah, for my part, i just speak english at school, and I absolutely could not have followed it in technical terms, hehe. So... i'm quite grateful.
I made this sweater and I have a few notes:
1. For the V-neck, decrease every 4th row!! If you decrease every row or even every other row, the v is far too wide, and the sweater doesn't sit right on your shoulders.
2. I struggled with the waistcoat stitch and decided to just single crochet the whole damn thing. It worked great!
3. For the button band, I SCd directly onto the piece. It worked really well. For the bottom band, I did a long strip and then sewed it on while stretched out so that it cinched at the bottom.
4. I added pockets to mine by making two squares and whip stitching them onto the sweater. It worked well.
I hope that all makes sense. Thank you for this video!! I love my sweater!
Thank you! These little alterations, especially the first one, is helping lots!
Thank you so much!!! I have not tried out these tips yet but, I do know that trial and error processes can be tedious!
I decided to do regular single crochet too because I’m not a fan of the waistcoat stitch. Did you stick to a 10mm hook? I’m only a few rows in & the holes are a bit large. I’m debating whether or not to frog it & size down or just go with it.
Perfect thanks so much for the recommendations! Just to make sure I got it right: Do you start with decreasing every fourth row at the same point she starts decreasing every other row (so more or less when you are halfway through) or when did you start decreasing?
Ok ty
I was today years old when I saw your "knitting" hack of crocheting a waistcoat stitch. My entire world view has changed, and I'm starting to think that I _didn't_ need to spend _months_ knitting a sweater for myself...
Very helpful video! Thank you for making it!
Young lady, be proud of what you have accomplished. I have been crocheting for 50+ years and I have never created a single decent piece of clothing without a pattern. I have been trying to make a particular sweater but haven't been able to find a pattern that I liked for it nor have I the courage to make one of my own. Your video has encouraged me to try to design one myself. Thank you so much for getting this old woman off her rear end and out of her comfort zone. Keep up the great work! Also, I wanted to let you know you can use multiple strands of a yarn at the same time to get the thick yarn look. You don't have to wait for Michael's.
You've got this!! 🌟
Wholesome ☺️🌸
Cute 🌼
You've got this! 💖
Aww, you got this! I’m sure you’ll be able to make ANYTHING without a pattern considering how long you’ve been crocheting! And also thank you for the tip, it really helped!
Not me just finishing the Harry styles cardigan and starting this 😅
I'm almost half way through my Harry Styles cardigan and trying to resist the urge to buy yarn for this sweater 😅
you'll have some very trendy pieces at least cx
my harry cardi took a month to make so idk if i can commit to a new project again soon 😆✨
Yeah I'm procrastinating with my Harry styles cardigan and I'm about to start this...
im still in the middle of mine and want to skip to this now lol
Congratulations!! I for one have been crocheting now for 51 years. I started when I was 9 years old!! You did great! I love your sweater and my Grand Daughter would love it! Fantastic job!
Just finished this pattern and it turned out great! It's super cozy and chunky and overall super pretty...Just a heads up for people choosing to pursue this project;
----
1. Buy about 8-9 Skeins of yarn if using size 6 yarn; I had to go back to Hobby Lobby a few times to finish this project because I kept running out of yarn. In the end, I used about 8.5 skeins. (I should also mention that I did this project in all one color [blush pink, if anyone was wondering], so I don't know how many skeins-per-color one would need if doing this sweater like the one in the video).
2. Use loose stitches; I actually had to redo an arm towards the beginning because I had made it waaaaaay to tight and it would barely move. I would recommend gently tugging at each crochet with your hook before finishing it with the last yarn over...this will make your stitches looser and more fluffy!
3. Keep measuring your piece against your body! Throughout the whole project, I tried on the sleeves and roughly held the pieces up to my body to make sure that it fell where I wanted and I made adjustments as needed.
4. Find and read Alesha Toora's comment in this section! They gave great measurement recommendations and tips for creating a proportional project.
5. Don't be afraid to unravel!!! I redid multiple sections of this project from the bottom up because I realized that they were too big/small/tight etc. It's much better to redo and get a better end result than finish and have regrets over what you did. (Besides, if you do have to remake anything, it presents a super great opportunity for binge-watching a show while you're at it. I worked my way through the first few seasons of Supernatural while making this!)
----
This was an amazing pattern and (as a semi-beginner crochet-er, at a couple months) it was easy to follow and gave amazing results. I'm excited to see more from this channel as time goes on :)
First off, just thank you for this because I was trying to determine if I'd be able to do this or not lmao. Second, THANK YOU for the amount of yarn skeins recommended. I have no idea how much I'd need so seriously thank you lol
Girl (or guy I don’t discriminate lol) I can’t thank you enough for the honest help! I was skeptical of whether or not I wanted to try this project out but you just convinced me!!
@@thatbandnerd4887 awesome!!
do you happen to remember some of those measuring tips? I cant seem to find the comment you talked about 😭 but I would like to make this sweater in a larger size
heres a tip! if you want looser stitches use a larger hook. i had to learn this the hard way lol
Why am i watching this when i don’t even know how to crochet🗿 anyway that look so pretty
try it, it’s worth it 😆
@@kirrilalia should i really?
@@aur9035 it’s rlly fun once you get the hang of it, I’m not the person u asked but I’d say go for it!
@@aur9035 yes and its so therapeutic once you start and learn it trust me😌
Lmao, it looks fun, but I don’t have the patience for it, I’ll stick to sewing 💀 also, love the pfp and username.
this was so soothing to watch. I can't knit or crochet but this turned so cool I'm feeling inspired
You should definitely learn! Knitting and crocheting changed my life, and you can make absolutely anything with it!
Hiiii I didn't expect you to be here
Me too!
same
@@rdg0722 Totally agree to this.
An easy fix for narrowing the v-neck would be to decrease on every other row instead of every row. This is insanely impressive!
So, I just made this, following the tutorial (in beige as that's my favourtiittteee!!) Here are my points and what I personally learned:
1) FOLLOW THE INCHES SHE GIVES, NOT HOW MANY STITCHES TO CAST ON. For some unexplained reason, everything I made came out significantly smaller than it should have. When she tells you 'cast on 20 stitches' or whatever, just watch a bit more of the video and see how many inches long it should be on completion. For example, the '23 stitches' for the sleeve should be 8 inches wide. I am obviously a very tight crocheter compared to her, even though I did it REALLY loose.
2) I would recommend making the sleeves both longer and wider. I don't know if I just have really long arms, but my sleeves turned out too short for my liking. I would do 27 cast-on stitches instead of 23, and then do about 26-27 rows instead of 24. So only slightly longer and wider, but it will make all the difference. I would only recommend this if you have longer arms.
3) For the cuffs of the sleeves. I freestyled a lot of this cardigan, and the cuffs were one part I did. Hers was too loose for me, so I basically just did a bit more decreasing. In the end- if I remember correctly- my cuffs were 13 stitches all around. This fits perfectly for me.
4) Okay, so this is REALLY STUPID on my part, I am just adding to make sure no one else makes the same mistake. So, at 13:50, she says 'about 8 inches'. She tells you to cast on 20 stitches- which I did. After crocheting said panel, mine ended up only being about 9 inches wide, which made sense to me. Except I thought she meant WIDTH. In reality, she was talking about the height of the panel. The WIDTH should have been 13 inches wide. This was mostly a stupid mistake on my part- I just got confused. So this goes back to my point of using her inches guide instead of the stitches. I needed way more stitches than her to get to the desired 13 inches she stated. So yeah, check the 'inches' not 'stitches'.
5) My MAIN point. In the front panel section of the video, she tells you that you should stop decreasing about halfway through. 15:30 . So she tells us to stop decreasing, and just finish it with normal rows. Which I of course did. DON'T do this, just keep decreasing. Please. Doing the normal rows made it look so stupid I can't even tell you. It was all bent and just looked really weird. It had a dip in the middle and just didn't look great. I would STRONGLY recommend just keep decreasing to get that 'wide V-neck' she talks about.
6) She tells you to make your front panels 13 inches wide- which I did. I ended up making an extra piece and sewing it onto my 9-inch front panels. *Point 4* So then it was 13 inches. I also got a bit confused here as well. She ends up sewing quite a bit into the cardigan because her front panels were too big. Obviously, mine ended up being 13 inches, which was too big as well. I will add all the measurements I would recommend at the bottom of this comment.
7) I didn't make any mistakes in the assembly, but just wanted to warn everyone to be REALLY CAREFUL on which ways your section is. Think it over a hundred times before actually sewing, please. It is really easy to mistake the 'nice side' for the 'bad side'. Just be cautious!
8) I would stick with bright colours for this project. As I already stated, I did mine in beige colours (still colour blocking) because it is my favourite colour. It just didn't have the same effect, however. I would stick with the colours she used- no doubt I am probably the only person that would ever decide to do it in beige haha.
ADAPTATIONS I WOULD RECCOMEND (THE INCHES)
Sleeves- I would cast on 27 stitches, and do 27-28 rows. 9 inches wide. I wouldn't give you an exact size for the length. Put it on your arm, allowing 2 inches for the cuff, and just make sure that the sleeves are about 2 inches above your elbow when bent. If it is below your elbow, keep going for a bit.
Sleeve cuff- Would recommend ending up with 13 stitches, and just going around until the correct size is found, for you! I would just do 5 rows of the 13 stitches. This worked out perfectly for me!
Front panels- I would aim for 11.5 inches wide. I don't exactly know how many stitches this is, but you can just measure if you decide to use my advice. For the first section (pink) I would still go with the 8 inches tall she recommended. I would go with 19.5 inches tall (in total including pink and purple sections.) This will work out perfectly!
Back panel- 26 inches wide. This for me was about 48 stitches if I remember correctly- please double check when you are actually doing it. Again why I recommend following inches, not stitches. I would again make this 19.5 inches tall. The pink will be 8 inches tall- just like the front panel.
Ribbing- I made mine the same as hers, just stretched it to give that 'sinched look. I can't give you reccomendations on this. I would just go with the 54 inches she reccomends, though, if you don't want to be sinched. I ended up with about 46 inches for mine.
So yeah, that's what I recommend. I really hope this helps! Let me know if anyone has any questions and I will happily answer them!!
Thank you so much for the advice! This is my first crochet project, I just started on the sleeves and was a little worried about adding extra stiches because I did not have the correct width. And since I also have longer arms your comment is super helpful, I saved it for later reference. I do have a question and would appreciate your thoughts, I was on the 6 row of my first sleeve and when folded open it looked like a circle, the radius at my first row was a LOT smaller then the radius of my 6th row. Compared to the straight version she has at 7:13. I think it's because I started too tight and went looser as I moved along? Any advice on keeping a steady stitch? Or am I doing something else wrong? Thank you so much
@@catschamomile298 You are totally welcome for the advice!! Congratulations on taking on such a big project for your first one!!
Don't be worried about adding extra stitches! If anything is too long, you can always just stitch it further into the jacket when you are putting it all together!
I am glad I could help with the longer sleeves. I usually like my sleeves to hand over my hands a bit, but hers only went above my wrist. I knew more people would have the same problem as me!
Okay, to answer your question. You are TOTALLY fine. The radius of your 6th row SHOULD be larger. It shouldn't - however - KEEP getting larger. It shouldn't end up with one large end and the other tiny. Like a cone. It should start off small, and then basically be a straight tube. It is okay if it has some shape to it. So don't worry, just keep going! Think about it, the design is going for a baggy look, you need it to be wide for it to be baggy. It is because of the looseness of your stitches, the first ones always tend to be REALLY tight. Just make sure you do it exactly the same on the other sleeve so it looks even. Just keep going and it will turn into the straight tube she has. Think about it, the smaler bit will be inserted into the jacket in the assembly, so you won't even be able to tell! In the future, when making the front and back panels, make sure to make your chain AS LOOSE AS POSSIBLE. Even if you think you are doing the loose, it always ends up being tighter. Hope this helped!!
The advice about keeping a steady stitch: It is practically impossible to make your first stitches as loose as the later ones. The first ones will always be tighter, which is why the first row is always hard to do. You can't change that. Just go with the flow honestly! You are definitely not doing anything wrong. Again, my only advice is that you chain as loose as possible at the start.!
If you need any more help, you can message me on here, or on my Instagram @alesha_toora if you need to send pictures!!
Thank you for taking my advice, glad I could help you. Hope all goes well!!
@@aleshatoora That really helped! Sadly I had already pulled everything and started over. But now I can just continue without concern because I had the same thing happen again. But it did indeed go straight the further I went. I will send you on Instagram if I need any more help(which I will very likely need hahaha). Thank you so much^^
@@catschamomile298 HAHHA, it’s good to start fresh sometimes, everything happens for a reason!! I will hope to hear from you!
@Black Lily you are so welcome, glad i could help!!
oh my god I work at Michaels and that part about us never knowing when things come in shipment, I'm so sorry we hate it too lmao
omggg you guys struggle too 😆
please dont use God's name in vain. Instead say oh my gosh, its much better and will probably make Him more happy!
@@ellagrace9326 thank you for the suggestion! I actually choose to use God instead of "gosh" because I feel like it aligns more with my personal religious beliefs
@@ellagrace9326 actually, using God's name in vain is more like justifying violence, hatred, or discrimination in His name. saying "oh my god" really isn't as bad as people say it is
sameeeee its like corporate rolls some dice to figure out what to send in ship
The 'Braid looking things" are called "posts". :D As a crochet teacher and designer myself, you did this replica *incredibly* well. Bravo. So well done.
omg thank you so much!! 💜
Hey sorry to ask you, but do you know any replacements for double crochet because I hate how double crochet looks but it is more flowy. Do you have any ideas for a replacement?? Sorry for asking.
@@sharon8458 look up half double crochet. It's a more solid looking Stitch but not as stiff as a single crochet.
@@ingridmatthews6627 thx
Hey mam..can u plz help me with size..I want to make this for L
I watched this video a few months after it was uploaded and I have not stopped thinking about this cardigan since! watching this video actually inspired me to learn to crochet and I think it's about time for me to try recreating this sweater after so long!
You have no idea how many times I’ve watched this, it’s so mesmerizing
Shit this isn't even intended to be a tutorial, yet you explain better than any other crochet tutorials -
Frr
I know right Im starting to wish that she starts doing even more crochet stuff just so i can make it too
🧶 knitting.
If you still can’t find super chunky yarn, double up on yarn that’s a little thinner! I’ve done that for a couple sweaters when I couldn’t find affordable super chunky yarn in store and definitely recommend it!
Excellent tip
Gold star for the day🌟
Hundred percent back this! Also if you want chunky yarn to be a bit tighter (if you think your work looks too loose), drop a needle size or two! Still follow your pattern and it would look a bit smaller and give tighter stitches!
could even twirl different colors for a cool effect
oh also if you were struggling to double to yarn like me grab an end from inside of yarn spool and then from the outside then tie the ends together and you can start!
I reaaly wish I could know how thick the yarn is...(in millimeters)
This video makes me SO excited to continue with my own crochet projects. Congrats on how yours turned out!
you are probably the best person who did this chunky sweater. so well done!
Thanks for helping me be less scared to make a sweater. The mistakes you made are totally things I would do and your sweater still looks AMAZING
ahhhh of course!! 💕💕
your voice is so smooth I could hear you talking forever
🥺🥺💜
2:13 👹
Im here to enjoy this amazing progress as i fall asleep it looks lovely cant wait to watch the whole thing♡
you are so freaking talented oh my gosh! the final product looks so cute 🥺
I’m so glad you didn’t go for the chunky wool, don’t ever crochet/knit with that! It gets super messed up really quickly and is practically impossible to wash. It also goes all over your clothes and leaves lints everywhere.
It does shed sooo so bad. I made a blanket with it once and just had to throw it away bc it shed more that our cat and dog combined.
@@LawnOrnament Yikes
Yep 100% this! Using just roving (i.e. yarn before it's twisted) is a disaster as it has no structural integrity and will just fall apart over time. Pinterest and Instagram pics of extra chunky blankets etc look lovely, but they won't last at all (and ultimately you've spent like 300 pounds on what becomes essentially a huge lint ball :( )
Alternatively you could also spin your own bulky wool yarn or hold multiple yarns together to get a similar look
@@asmallpotato932 same here. I picked up a literal garbage bag just stuffed with a popular roving yarn that is sold as #4/worsted. Close to 50 full skeins. Made a blanket just to use it. It's warm and lovely and pills the moment you look at it.
The cardigan came out super cute!! You are my crochet sister I freestyle everything and hardly measure, then I wonder why I’m having such a hard time throughout my projects lol it just makes the end result all the more better.
yesss omg i relate to that so much!! 💕
this got me into crocheting im so grateful for you ive been crocheting for a year now and i would never go back
This is looking so so great 🤩
You should be really proud of yourself !! I'm in love with this knit sweater omg 🤩
"There was a step at the beginning that would have taken the pressure off me to do something very time consuming that I had never done before, but I didn't think of it until after I had done the entirety of the hard thing"
Ah yes, a kindred spirit.
If you guys ended up deciding to use the exact same yarn (as I did), I’d recommend getting one extra skein of lavender yarn. The pink yarn kirrilalia uses is also “think pink” from loops and threads’ charisma line, not the pink from the lush alpaca line.
Is the think pink same size as the other ones? :)
@@gretaramirez692 it’s a size 5 and the others are a 6 but you won’t be able to tell the difference. After completing the cardigan I’d say to find a different brand of yarn though. The colors are nice but the quality of the yarn is terrible especially for the price. The alpaca fibers are super short so the cardigan has shed out all of the fibers like a dog blowing out its coat in the summer. Whatever you wear gets covered in alpaca. The yarn is also not as soft as it feels before being crocheted/ knitted.
@@Solarpower345 Oh, okay thanks. :) And i agree with you that the yarns are kinda expensive, especially if that's the quality of them. :/
How much of each yarn did you use?
@@rebekka54 I used the exact number of skeins she mentions in the drop down description plus an extra skein of lavender.
I watched some of your earlier videos and then some of your latest ones and can't help but feel so proud of you seeing how much you've grown . Your so creative and so goofy . Thanks for sharing your videos keep up the good work
I am impressed by how you did this sweater, you did a amazing job
"so if i hadn't scared you away already...let's dive in" lmao please-
this is seriously so impressive. if it was primary colors instead of the pastels i think i’d actually sell my soul for one of these
that sweater is so cute, you're so talented
I’ve watched a lot of crochet tutorials and yours is still my favorite, I still come back here for reference when I’m working on any similar project. You are amazing!!
This is awesome and everything looks so amazing! I’m ok with you making a super chunk one too. :) the only thing with that is, make sure you DO NOT USE ROVING. Chunky spun yarn is way better. I forgot the name of the channel but they made a video on why you should not use roving, especially on a sweater. Or a blanket. Within one day of wearing it your sweater will be torn up, shredding and will be super dirty. If you don’t know what roving is, it is yarn that is not spun yet. And since it isn’t spun it doesn’t have the structure that yarn does, making it basically impossible to use. It does look good for photos and for a while, but overall it’s not worth it. Roving is very expensive and it doesn’t even end up working. Sorry if you already know this, I just wanted to make sure you didn’t make any big mistakes! 🥲🥲
aaaaaaaa i made a scarf using roving a few days ago! I really hope it holds up for a little bit at least, I was really proud of it!
I was tripping at how knitted that waist coat stitch looks!!! So cute, awesome job!!
haha ikr!!
This was awesome, the sweater and you in it looks amazing!
this video is ridiculously well done and the skill it takes to map out a complex pattern in ur head as u go and it come out as good as it did…amazing
OMG YOU MADE THAT SO GOOD IT'S PERFECT UR SO TALENTED
This is amazing! Such an amazing outcome 💕
This colour block sweater is absolutely gorgeous, and you should be SO PROUD of yourself to have made up this design and for it to have come out this immaculate! Picked up this new skill of crochet during lockdown and I CANNOT wait to attempt this sweater and hopefully have something beautiful to wear on the weekends by the end of it.
this just came up on my feed and it is one of the most helpful tutorials i’ve seen. i wish i had seen it sooner!!
I love listening to you, your personality is so fun and your voice sounds nice^^
why is watching this so calming
thank you for being so thorough with your explanations!! very helpful to a beginner who wants to make a sweater, im excited to try this!
this is the best crochet video i’ve ever seen!!! this has helped me so much and i’m making my own cardigan atm 🥰💞
This was such a joy to watch! Thank you for taking the time to shine through your editing and production skills. This is the first crochet video I've found in a while that actually has personality lol. I loved watching this and I may even give it a try!
thank you :)
this was really good. i ended up making a sweater than the cardigan but i never crocheted anything like it before but this video was very helpful. i love the way my sleeves came out. 10/10
This is so thorough and well explained. I've been wanting to crochet a sweater similar to this forever and it's been so daunting, this makes me excited to work on it again
Please make more videos! This was such a wonderful piece of art to witness 💗 you’re an absolute Angel!
Oh my god. This is the prettiest piece of clothes Ive ever seen. You are so talented, I can hardly crochet a ball, you made whole sweater. So incredible, I really admire you a lot, I would give up in 13 minutes. Instant subscribe.
Also I love how you include you mistakes even if they are just minor ones, it really helps other crocheters to know it’s ok to make mistakes and there are ways to fix them!
Yes!! I think it will be helpful!
AHH you are so adorable, talented, and amazing!! 🥺💛 your editing is amazing and you are so aesthetic! 🥰 I really want this chunky sweater it is so pretty!!! 😭
You are SO talented. The sweater is just beautiful!
After successfully finishing my first Harry style crochet project, I am really excited to begin this one
my home page blessed me today, this is beautiful thank you!
🥺💕
Your videos are wonderful. I’m a knitter but you’re making crocheting feel more accessible!
this is so pretty, like literally so amazing! You explained everything, and you made it look easy. I got only blue yarn for my sweater but now I want more colors on it lol. You are amazing
I’ve been eyeing this design for years. Years! I think I’m confident enough to try after watching this! Mine will be somewhat different but I’m so so glad you made this! I’m going to try mimicking the look of the roving by combining the strands. (I saw an easy trick for doing it on tiktok.)
I love the fact that you added your mistakes! I'm a beginner at crocheting and this video has taught me so much!
TYSM I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO. FROM YOUR VOICE TO THE AMAZING TUTORIAL TO YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR. 20/10 KEEP IT GOING GAL. 👏👏👏
I love this sweater so much! You did an amazing work 😍
your waistcoat stitches are so cuteeee. i used them for the red panels on my harry cardigan and they were super tight and didnt look as fluffy as these 😅
I just started crocheting yesterday but I can’t wait to get this good
I love that you show your mistakes and the creative ways you figured out how to make it work. Thanks for sharing!
Whooooa I’m a knitter who has always wanted to get better at crochet. the waistcoat stitch is an absolute game changer! It all makes so much sense now, thank you for the video!
after watching literally so many tutorials on how to crochet sweaters bc i had done the main body part with no pattern but then realised i had no idea how to make a sleeve, your tutorial was the only one that helped me make the sleeves. thank you!
OMgoodness!!! I am trying your pattern and I admire you for making such a cute sweater that looks pro!!! I love your patterns!!! As a 13 year old girl, I am totally into crochet and this video is perfect!!! :) You look so stylish modeling the sweater and it fits you perfectly, thank you !!!
You did such an amazing job! I definitely want to look into this project. I love Hope's work and I think you did a great job of giving her credit for this beautiful design. Mistakes just give it character and plus, nobody is gonna know, how would they know?
why r u so amazing, the sweater is really cute i'm gonna cry😭
It’s official I’m nicknaming you the crochet 🧶 queen 👑
hi! this is adorable! im currently making a cardigan based on your harry styles one, and you have helped me fall in love with crochet!
omggg that’s so awesome 🥺💕
I just discovered your channel and I love it, love your narration, humor and persistence 💪🏻. That’s inspiring and encouraging, thank you!
Oh my... so satisfying to watch 😍😍😍 plus your voice is soothing on the ears with no annoying background music 👍👍
I seriously saw this design on Pinterest and then when I typed in chunky crochet sweater you came up! I LOVE how it came out. And your mistakes were beautiful mistakes. I’m new in the crochet world. And a lot of things and terms sound intimidating but you explained it with such ease! Thank you for this post. I def subscribed.
Hi all! So I just finished making this sweater as a Christmas gift. I sized it up to a mens large. What a project! It came out amazing. One tip I have for you wonderful people is when doing the button band, make the first row closer to the edge of the front panel than you think. I left a solid 1/4” of space and now that little bit of front panel wants to stick out from under the button band. Also - try to keep your tension very consistent while doing the sleeves! My sleeves had quite a difference in puffiness since I crocheted one a lot tighter than the other… oops! Overall, this is an amazing video and I love the fact that you left the mistakes in so I could learn from them. One comment I have is that I wish there was a little more instruction on how to attach the bottom ribbing to the sweater - I kind of had to guess and I think I messed it up a little. I didn’t understand whether the decreased stitches were on the ribbing band or on the sweater. I did the decreased stitches on the ribbing band and it came out a little weird! But barely noticeable! (I also did this because I wanted my sweater to have that cinched look).
Anyway, thanks for your instruction!
Awweee what a cute xmas gift
HOW LONG WERE YOUR SLEEVES 😭

Somehow, this video got on my recommendations page, and I liked this sweater so much that I learned to crochet. And today I finally finished this project and I really like the result
This is amazing!! Your so talented! I love your videos!
ur literaly the only actual person who made a video that was actually helpful, im new in crochet and this helped alott, thankyouuuu
Man, I wish I were patient enough to learn this artform 😱
Soo talented ❤️❤️❤️ also loving the fact that I found a tutorial where someone actually uses the knife grip for their hook.
haha i’m not the only one 😆
the fact you made this look so incredibly easy......wowza
Turned out so good!!!! Great job!!
You are talented and great HOWEVER do people really lose their shit on that original sweater? Like it’s just a normal sweater to me.. ppl seriously dream about it?
ig lol- I mean its really cute n its not smth which is easily available in my country
I think your sweater looks better than the original! I can’t imagine how long this took. If people buy that sweater for 300 dollars then you could sell yours for 300 too! Amazing work you are so inspiring!
I'm so blessed to have found your video! I stoped crochet...like 3 years ago, I guess. I love hope macaulay designs, I didnt know they existed. I will try to make myself one. Thank you so much dear, may God bless you. And sis I love your own design!
your videos are so comfortable to watch
I Know this is super late but I just had to say how amazing you did and how useful this is going to be for every person who dreams to find a simple tutorial kind of thing with sharing your opinion and showing your mistakes is much better than beginner tutorials with professional crocheters seriously ❤ and yes this won't be beginner friendly for beginners but it's perfect for middle level crocheters so THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM ALL MY HEART I watched this so many times Absolutely Gorgeous on you BTW
GIRLL ur SOO CREATIVE i can'tttt, i wanna do this sweater soo bad but a lazy girl lol, every time i start Crocheting something i give up even before half a way, i'm just too lazy to compelete anything lololl

It's so cute, I'll give it a try because your voice and explanation is very clear! I like this ❤️❤️
