    I was 100% positive that changing colors in crochet was black magic I was not privy to. This was so much easier than I thought it was going to be... That's what I get for overthinking. This is awesome. I love this lewk.

    I just finished making this yesterday (took me about 2 months) and it came out great! for those wondering - I did the same thing for the collar as for the cuffs/bottom - slipsstitch5, sc 10. Next time i would reduce the number of slipstitches for both the neck and the bottom as it made it a bit tight (probably would slipstitch 3).

    i was wondering if there is any way to make pockets?

    • @maud782
      @maud782 8 місяців тому +1

      For pockets I would not join 1 square on both sides. So join the bottom one and then the 3rd one. Then you can crochet a pocket however big you like as long as the hole you put things in is as big as the gal you did not join. So you can for example crochet 2 extra squares, join them on 3 sides and leave 1 side open so you can enter your pocket. Then join your loose pocket on the place you left the sweater open. This will create like a hidden pocket. For a pocket on the outside just crochet a square and stitch it on on 3 sides leaving one open again. I hope you can understand what I mean, which is a bit hard without drawing it out. Just let me know if you have an extra question!

      something you can do is google 'stitch fiddle size calculator,', go to the first result, youll need to make a guage swatch (just a square) and fill in size and stitches/rows, then measure somthing that fits how you want this to fit (width and length) and fill these measurements into the finished product size, the calculator will fill out the number of stitches, then you just need to figure out how to split that up into equal squares :)

    How did you decide how many chins to slip stitch through for your ribbing?! Seen others who only do 2! I do love your jumpers and how they look 😊😊

    • @michelle_jasek
      @michelle_jasek  2 роки тому +2

      I have made ribbing before where i slip stitched though 2 and it didn’t cinch in enough for me. So i figure the more slip stitches in between each rib, the more tighter it will fit! I hope that helps 😊

    great video ! i'm new to the world of crochet and i was wondering something. Essentially you're making squares right? Would it have been any different if you made "granny squares" separately instead of like in this video where the pink and orange squares are already locked together?

    I don't know if this is a stupid question but i was wondering if it's possible to do this but instead of crocheting the squares i would knit them. I just wanted to ask if that's possible because i've never made a sweater before...

    • @maud782
      @maud782 8 місяців тому +1

      I think its mostly measure up one of your favorite sweaters to see how wide you want it to be and then divide it by 6 to know the size of your squares. (The sweater is 6 squares wide) maybe it will become a bit long given that it are squares so maybe only make it 4 rows long instead of 5! Let me know if this works or you have more questions!

      Hi, the size is totally depending on how big you make each square. Easy thing to decide is to measure the width of your favorite sweater and divide it by 6 to know how wide each square should be

    i'm not getting the measurements 😭what are the measurements supposed to be of everything in cm? i'm very new to crochet, so I'm probably misunderstanding it all, but why are the measurements of the 6 squares across 64cm (which means every square would be 10.7cm) but then 46cm of 5 squares upwards would be 9.2cm per square? and then when you give the measurements for each individual square it's 10.2 cm? and i don't even know how to understand the "final measurements includding ribbing". pls help 💀

    Hello!! I started making this but when i switch colors, the color i'm not using and "hiding" still shows on the back side. So when i started my second row, it appears a lot :( did this happen with anyone else? anyone got any advice? (small edit: with the second row it shows a bit on each side but mostly on the backside of second row, which is the rightside of first row)

    • @beaukindasucks8157
      @beaukindasucks8157 Рік тому

      pulling the yarn youre 'hiding' tight before switching colours can help hide it, but its always gonna be somewhat visible on every other row (it shows up more on one side of the row youre working on so it switches sides with each row) :)
