Whichever person is using this video as their tutorial for knitting... Kudos to you man. I was so taken back when she started explaining how to make a slip knot and how to cast on. I was like "what kinda person who can't even make a slip knot is here trying to knit a sweater?" But I realize there are actually some really ambitious people out there. If that's you, keep going. You'll get good at this really fast
@@namrata5701 same for me! I knitted a scarf for my mum and now I decided to knit a sweater. I have a bit different idea (more like cardigan, open in the front) but I'm waiting for my new needles to knit this particular one as well!
This is one of the best videos on knitting I have ever seen. It's gives a complete tutorial on a whole sweater and allows a first time knitter to make a sweater easily.
yikes no! it's an English knitter. they throw their yarn! continental knitting and speed knitting is much more efficient. check out how hazel tindell knits. fastest knitter in the world. she is very cute tho! totally adorable, but her knitting is terribly inefficient. it's okay, my mom taught me the wrong way to knit so it's twisted, but okay. no problems. but she did know continental style
This is exactly the information I wanted to know - to have a picture of how collars and sleeves are done correctly. Thank you for your time and sharing your expertise so clearly! I hope you're well.
Crystal Firebird that's really awesome! when I was 9 I was never interested in knitting but by the age of 19 I started to crochet and now I want to learn to knit 😄
I really loved the timer for disciplining yourself. That confirmed my "make specific time" thoughts. Twenty five minutes is a good start for high activity, high anxiety people like me. That's usually when my attention floats. I started crocheting to help my daughter who discovered knitting and is now in business. I wanted to help her continue to have authentic hand made pieces. I really got it going after my kids dad passed away. It really helped my anxiety and settled the thoughts. Thank you for your tips.
I agree with you about the 'make the time' , my mind goes 1000 miles an hour most of the time. I'm working on a project now which is quite long, so I calculated how many inches I'd have to knit a day in order to meet my deadline ( geek-ish , I know :) ) the time to knit a little more than 1" came out to about 20 minutes a day. This is management, so I watch an episode of a favorite TV show at the same time :)
Jade, thank you for taking the time to show me how to knit a beautiful sweater in depth! Your video is the only one out there that shows step by step. I hope you will be making more videos like this one. Thank You for giving me a life long gift to pass on to my grandchildren since i am the only one that knits in the family. God Bless!
I love this tutorial - I learned to knit from family members, but I’m more of a sewer these days. This was one of the most comprehensive tutorials I’ve ever watched and having everything supersized makes it so much more visually clear. I’m seriously considering picking up my needles (actually buying some new big ones) and making this for someone special ❤️
WOW! Awesome video Ms Jade! This is the first lengthy video I have watched in it's entirety, and it was more entertaining than watching a movie, honestly. The thing is, I don't even knit! After watching this, I'm definitely going to give it a try. Thank you.♥
It is the BEST tutorial I have ever watched from beginning to end without picking up a knitting needle. Now I'll have to go out there and pick up what I need to make it.
I have been through soooooo many videos to try and get help as a beginner and this is it! The Winner! Thank you for making it simple and giving ALL the information. So grateful. For the picking up stitches, I used a crochet hook and then transferred.
I'm so excited to be seaming my sweater up tonight! I couldn't afford the yarn, so I went with a less expensive brand, and I found my needles at Walmart and Hobby Lobby, but so far, everything is looking correct. This is probably one of the best tutorials I've ever watched and followed.
msj0856 I used about 3.5 skeins of Bernat Viva yarn. it's not quite as think as the yarn she used, so my stitches are not as tight, but it still turned out good 😊
I love love love this pattern and just completed my sweater in three sittings. What results! My first ever sweater and i have you to thank. Thanks GHTV and Wool & The Gang!!
I'm so happy with it... I've learned knitting through UA-cam month ago ... Knitted a scarf and I was wondering if the day come and be able to knit this one 👗 thank you so much ......
Itzmissunicorn I highly recommend “Haalu” I learned how to knit socks from her and she’s the best I’ve seen 👍. I wanted to knit socks for years - she is easy to understand and has a lot of ways how to knit socks 😊👍.
I don’t know what relaxed me more watching her knit or just listening to her voice 😂 Such a beautiful sweater!! I would love to learn how to make them. I think I would be better off starting with a basic flat throw blanket 🤣. Thank you for a great relaxing, informative video.
This is an awsome tutorial. I just finished it and wow am I inspired. I will CERTAINLY be back to atleast try making one. I had no idea all the stuff you can make with kitting and sewing you could do. such a money saver.
Your video was A#1. I am a 70 y/o retired woman who has taken up crochet after about 32 years of not doing any of it (after I married my (2nd) current husband. No time! But now that I'm retired, I've discovered crochet again. The problem is that I have end stage osteoarthritis and my arms and hands hurt a lot when I've tried to get back into knitting again. Seeing this video has challenged me now to try this sweater. You are a fabulous instructor and I've ordered the materials and will, hopefully, be successful. I thank you for this video, so very much indeed.
It's a few days since I wrote that above. I want you to know I've just completed the first 11 rows of this sweater using those giant circular needles. Oh my aching hands.. I have ordered some straight ones to see if they are easier to handle for me but I consider this a huge success that I've done the first 11 rows (just started to not slip the first stitch)... so a HUGE THANK YOU for this video again, it is so well done.
I learned by watching my teachers when I was in elementary school. They did this while we worked on our cw. Then I made my grandma get it so I try too.
Awesome tutorial on knitting it is now 2019 I haven't knitted in a long time But learned something new fantastic job.. I couldn't download the pattern but I wrote the new things I learned. I can always go back to this UA-cam by HG. Thank you Jade.and HG TV for putting this on. Judith
Beginners might find it easier to use a crochet hook to help themselves pick up stitches round the neckline. Love this sweater! Have bought a bagful of chenille yarn so going to use that.
Idk about you but this probably the best tutorial video I've seen! Her voice is so soothing and the directions is clear and simple and I love her accent!
TinyLunchBOX Games yes but the yarn is so expensive because it takes a lot of it.I just made a vest with that company and it cost me $200 with taxes and delivery.How can I made a lot of sweater at that price ?
me coming into quarantine: imma just play video games over here and watch youtube videos all day. me during quarantine: *flexing on my friends by knitting sweaters like a boss* booyah
Absolutely love this video. I am very knew to knitting but have always wanted to learn to make my own sweater. Thank you for providing such an easy video to follow. I have always learned best by watching other people and now I have learned the purl stitch from this video!
Which cast on stitch? She shows us two techniques. They both make sense to me. The finger gun stitch allows for a stretch on the base, but the other one is more tense and will not stretch as much. This is good for blankets or other projects where too much stretch is unnecessary or problematic.
Loved this tutorial. Although I'm a knitter of many years there is always more to learn. I have watched other tutorials but have not found them to be relaxing in the way that this one is. That is due to your calm and light persona. A delight to listen to and watch Many are too frantic, hurried and unrestful. Thank you and I shall definitely be making this jumper/sweater. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for this video!!! My momma always knitted and I wished I had stopped to learn. I plan to use this video to make my very first sweater and gift it to my baby sister who was very close to momma prior to her passing. This was the greatest video and very instructional Ms. Harwood!!!
I finished this sweater. It was a fun project & Jade did a great job. Only problem, it would fit a giant. I looked like the Michelin Man -- huge shoulders, puffy over-sized sleeves that hung past my hands. I soaked & blocked it in hopes it would shrink. It expanded & is now a dress. The arms hang down to my knees. I followed the pattern & video meticulously & bought the yarn from Wool & The Gang -- Zoot Suit Blue. I bought the 50 US glittery needles & the 17 US smaller ones. I knitted the gauge to check my knitting beforehand. But, I would have to gain 100 lbs for it to fit. I wonder how many reviewers have actually made the sweater. Also, I don't know what kind of summers they have where she is, but this sweater is hotter than hell. I had to pull it off because I was roasting. It is NOT a cool summer sweater by any means. It is pretty though. Just wish it fit b/c then if it ever freezes in CA, I could wear it. Also, I bought the extra ball of yarn to make the funnel neckline (can't imagine how hot THAT would be), but at the end of the vid., she doesn't show how to do that, so I went with the crew. I enjoyed the knitting journey, but my sweater will prob. never be worn. So very disappointing.
Sonerila - frog it and make a few decorative pillows for your bed. At least you could get some use out of that yarn. Use the smaller scraps for Pom poms and attach to the pillow corners for a bit of whimsy.
There is nothing worse than making a project only to find out it’s way too big but I laughed so hard reading your story. I didn’t mean to laugh but it’s how you wrote it. I couldn’t find the pattern. PS: what did you do with your sweater? You could have taken a vacation to Alaska and wore it there. 😉
@Sonerila. If you like the sweater measure how much too large per percent it is for you. Then use that as a guide and buy thinner yarn and knitting needles ( probably about 25-30% smaller) and use the same stitch counts, should work well.
Brilliant tutorial!!! Couldnt download written pattern..but so BRILLIANTLY done i found i didnt need it!! Will Definitely follow!! Thank you..love from Anita from South Africa!!
I have started making this sweater, very much a beginner!. The tutorial is excellent, I love Jades approach. There are a few things I had to check; other specific tutorials to ensure I had it right and who went into a bit more detail. In particular the increasing stitch I struggle with. After following Jades instruction I appeared to have a gaps where the increased stitchs are. I took it to my very experienced knitting neighbour, who put me right doing it a slighty different way. She also tried it jades way, but the gaps still remained! The large needles are not easy by the way, but the benefit is you can very quickly make a sweater. Overall this has given me a lot of personal satisfaction as a very new knitter and completing a sweater which I like. Thankyou
Hi Jade, I Love this video your beautiful face and sweet voice are a pleasure to watch. I will be making this for my daughter for Christmas this year. I was also wondering if you will be making more videos of sweaters on UA-cam in the future?
Katherine Canon i explained to someone.. if i spin you wool for a jumper, lets say cos i spin it i need a kg of fibre, now, sure, i can get some ok. Stuff for 12gbp, but i need to spend say 2 - 3 hours spinning it to get dk wool. Per 100g. I then need to knit the sweater, say i do 5-6 hours monday to friday and more say 10 each day at weekends, i can probably do that in 2.5 weeks maybe 3. Lets say i ask half minimum wage, would you pay me 80-120 for making the wool and 360 for 2 weeks knitting? No? Well at 90 hours for the knitting.. plus ... going with minimums it will take me 110 hours, maybe 165 hours if its complicated etc.. thats 4.1something working weeks.. how much would you want for a months salary? Its easy to forget when machines can chuck wool and then knitted jumpers in almost minutes..
My pattern is 56 st. and the k1 row p1 row for 21.5 in. and then i double everything like i did for the number of st. I used a 17 needles and 10.5 neddles so i had to double everything and i used to strands of yarn in meduim weight yarn!!! Red and green yarn!!!
I can't thank you enuff for this video. I have a huge case of ADD and following directions is one of the hardest things for me. Also keeping track of where and what I am doing. With this video and am able to back track watch it over and over. I may not make the prettiest or neatest sweater but I will be able to finish it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Its hard for some of us.
On top of I have saved so much money and time by being able to stay at home and not running into a knit shop every five minutes and for that I will not be able to buy the correct yarn and make it again.
this is so beautiful, it's the best tutorial video for beginners who want to learn knitting, besides it's really relaxing to see this gorgeous lady walk us through the process, I'd listen to her all day long and also she strongly reminds me of Tom Daley ! in a good way.
I knit a sweater for the first time following this tutorial. Although I didn’t use the same wool (they don’t ship to my country) but with only a few adjustments i was able to make a perfectly cosy and wearable sweater. Thanks for the amazing in depth tutorial !
Once you've learned the stitches and no longer have to really think about what you're doing you can do fun stuff like you watch you knit this sweater while knitting something completely different
excellent video on technique...camera work and angles and Jade explains it really well! I just shared it with a friend who I recently taught to knit because it has all the basic techniques so clearly explained. I want that wool! even though I don't usually like such big needles!
Love those glitter needles! I checked the website but you don't sell them...where can I get them from? LOVE the tutorial. Terribly generous! Will FINALLY understand the patterns at Wool and the Gang!
well I am not done with my huge sweater just yet. But went to the end of the video to see the end when its all done. The sweater is beautiful. Thanks again for the wonderful video.
This is an absolutely fantastic video and a great tutorial for knitting a sweater. I'm almost finished. Funny though - I learned how to knit when I was a girl and it all came back to me. Interestingly, I never wrap the yarn around the needle. I always hold the yarn in my left hand (I'm right handed), spun between my index finger and little finger and I move the needle around the yarn. I don't move the yarn around the needle. The results are the same, but it's a very different method and it looks very different when knitting. Does anyone know what I mean?
That called continental knitting. There are two styles, continental, where you hold the yarn in your left hand, and English, where you hold it in your right hand and "throw" it, or wrap it, around the needle. They are just two different ways to knit! I hope this helps.
This is such a calming and instructive video - thank you for it! This video taught me how to count stitches, how to purl, knit, cast on in 2 different ways, increase/decrease, and ribbing. It's a great way to learn how to knit, especially if you go into it with a mind to practice and redo sections as needed. I wanted to give a warning out there to anyone else who balked at the price of Crazy Sexy Wool and looked for a replacement yarn for this sweater. I found a good deal on Buttercream Luxe Craft Cozy Yarn and made this sweater with it. It did not turn out well. The seams at the shoulders were bulky and the sweater did not hang well. It looked more like a muscle shirt. So I recommend that you NOT use Buttercream Luxe cozy yarn for this sweater. The buttercream luxe yarn works well for the size 17 needles but is very bulky. (This was my first knitting project ever, but I watched this video over and over and redid sections over and over so I don't think my issues were due to my inexperience). Ultimately, I took the sweater apart and am now making another one with just the size 17 needles (different pattern, obviously) and plan to avoid seams at the shoulders because of the yarn.

Fantastic tutorial. I cannot wait to try those huge needles.
I was just about to scroll back to find out why she slips a stitch at the start of the row and she explained it again. Well done.
my word...that is the hardest way of casting on I have ever seen!
My aunt taught me this in London years ago. It’s called a cable cast on.
This is the way my Nan taught me to cast on. It's cumbersome but it gives a nice edge.
Which cast on stitch? She shows us two techniques. They both make sense to me. The finger gun stitch allows for a stretch on the base, but the other one is more tense and will not stretch as much. This is good for blankets or other projects where too much stretch is unnecessary or problematic.

Sonerila if you use a measuring tape and measure your own sweater, you could knit to your own measurements making fewer stitches.
@Sonerila. If you like the sweater measure how much too large per percent it is for you. Then use that as a guide and buy thinner yarn and knitting needles ( probably about 25-30% smaller) and use the same stitch counts, should work well.
Brilliant tutorial!!! Couldnt download written pattern..but so BRILLIANTLY done i found i didnt need it!! Will Definitely follow!! Thank you..love from Anita from South Africa!!
This is an excellent knitting tutorial. I'm going to try this myself!
We appreciate you sharing your talent. My sis and I are learning a lot. We beg we may keep it in our heads.
Watching someone knit is almost as relaxing as doing it yourself.
I have started making this sweater, very much a beginner!. The tutorial is excellent, I love Jades approach. There are a few things I had to check; other specific tutorials to ensure I had it right and who went into a bit more detail. In particular the increasing stitch I struggle with. After following Jades instruction I appeared to have a gaps where the increased stitchs are. I took it to my very experienced knitting neighbour, who put me right doing it a slighty different way. She also tried it jades way, but the gaps still remained! The large needles are not easy by the way, but the benefit is you can very quickly make a sweater. Overall this has given me a lot of personal satisfaction as a very new knitter and completing a sweater which I like. Thankyou
Thank you for this, I wanted to make my boyfriend something sentimental for Valentines, and this is perfect. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for this sweater pattern! And as it’s free - Christmas came early! 🙋🏻💕☕️🧶🏔🛷⛷🏂
You are so welcome!
That was absolutely beautiful I'm going to make mine in red!
Your demonstration of this pattern is excellent! Thank you for making it so clear.❤️
That is amazing! Such a great and informative video! Thank you very much!
So love this I normally don’t understand the terminology but you have made it really easy thank you
Hi Jade, I Love this video your beautiful face and sweet voice are a pleasure to watch. I will be making this for my daughter for Christmas this year. I was also wondering if you will be making more videos of sweaters on UA-cam in the future?
So satisfying to watch 💙 I really love the cosy chunky wool ☺️💕
i will neve complain about the price of a sweater ever again lol
Katherine Canon i explained to someone.. if i spin you wool for a jumper, lets say cos i spin it i need a kg of fibre, now, sure, i can get some ok. Stuff for 12gbp, but i need to spend say 2 - 3 hours spinning it to get dk wool. Per 100g. I then need to knit the sweater, say i do 5-6 hours monday to friday and more say 10 each day at weekends, i can probably do that in 2.5 weeks maybe 3. Lets say i ask half minimum wage, would you pay me 80-120 for making the wool and 360 for 2 weeks knitting? No? Well at 90 hours for the knitting.. plus ... going with minimums it will take me 110 hours, maybe 165 hours if its complicated etc.. thats 4.1something working weeks.. how much would you want for a months salary?
Its easy to forget when machines can chuck wool and then knitted jumpers in almost minutes..
Katherine Canon --most sweaters are not hand-knitted though

unless you're buying straight from an independent business, most (if not all) knitted items you purchase in department stores are done with a machine.
wonderful video and so well explained xxx love it I will watch it over and over cause it is so easy to follow step by step xxx
The link doesn’t seem to be working. Could we get a refresh? I’d love to make this sweater! ♥️🤗🤓
Pattern can be found on the wool and the gang website under their free patterns. Its the wonder wool sweater
best sweater, easiest sweater love it. great job. thank you
My pattern is 56 st. and the k1 row p1 row for 21.5 in. and then i double everything like i did for the number of st. I used a 17 needles and 10.5 neddles so i had to double everything and i used to strands of yarn in meduim weight yarn!!! Red and green yarn!!!
I can't thank you enuff for this video. I have a huge case of ADD and following directions is one of the hardest things for me. Also keeping track of where and what I am doing. With this video and am able to back track watch it over and over. I may not make the prettiest or neatest sweater but I will be able to finish it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Its hard for some of us.
On top of I have saved so much money and time by being able to stay at home and not running into a knit shop every five minutes and for that I will not be able to buy the correct yarn and make it again.
please make for videos the new knitters will be grateful,
I want all these ...specifically needles ❤
this is so beautiful, it's the best tutorial video for beginners who want to learn knitting, besides it's really relaxing to see this gorgeous lady walk us through the process, I'd listen to her all day long and also she strongly reminds me of Tom Daley ! in a good way.
🙂 THIS IS INCREDIBLE! 🙂
I knit a sweater for the first time following this tutorial. Although I didn’t use the same wool (they don’t ship to my country) but with only a few adjustments i was able to make a perfectly cosy and wearable sweater. Thanks for the amazing in depth tutorial !
did you use bulky wool or a thinner fiber?
I'm a boy and I knit
cool
Trent Hartsfield one of my high school boyfriends knits better than I do.
Suzette Espinosa Piña I want some of my guy friends to learn but they are not brabe enough

Your grandma is proud of you. ❤️
The soft clacking of the needles gave me asmr... sssoo goood...
the best ''step by step'' tutorial ever
She looks like a blonde version of Morgana from Merlin BBC show. Beautiful!!! Great instructions!!!!!😊
Jade is an excellent teacher!! I love her instructions.
Once you've learned the stitches and no longer have to really think about what you're doing you can do fun stuff like you watch you knit this sweater while knitting something completely different
excellent video on technique...camera work and angles and Jade explains it really well! I just shared it with a friend who I recently taught to knit because it has all the basic techniques so clearly explained. I want that wool! even though I don't usually like such big needles!
The link for the pattern doesn’t work. And the pattern is not on the website. Can you put up a different link?

I should get up and get ready for school. Instead, I'm watching someone knitting
Wonderful tutorial! Very clear. I have my yarn, large needles and the pattern. I can't wait to get started. Thank You!
khaley37781 Don’t you find the wool expensive for a small ball ?
Yes, the best thing to teach someone who has never knitted is a tutorial where you need the biggest needles you could possibly get.
I don’t want my money money for for the money ppl
I just don’t think think I want the right money and and the way way
Happy Happy you have the the time time thank the the government government and government government for for years years and time said said
your video is fabulous! I learned so much! you r so patient. Thank you. You have inspired me to try with the larger needles!
Love those glitter needles! I checked the website but you don't sell them...where can I get them from? LOVE the tutorial. Terribly generous! Will FINALLY understand the patterns at Wool and the Gang!

well I am not done with my huge sweater just yet. But went to the end of the video to see the end when its all done. The sweater is beautiful. Thanks again for the wonderful video.
Love this! !!!
Brilliant video tutorial. Relaxing and enjoyable to watch, this is the knitting equivalent to watching Bob Ross paint.
This is an absolutely fantastic video and a great tutorial for knitting a sweater. I'm almost finished. Funny though - I learned how to knit when I was a girl and it all came back to me. Interestingly, I never wrap the yarn around the needle. I always hold the yarn in my left hand (I'm right handed), spun between my index finger and little finger and I move the needle around the yarn. I don't move the yarn around the needle. The results are the same, but it's a very different method and it looks very different when knitting. Does anyone know what I mean?
That called continental knitting. There are two styles, continental, where you hold the yarn in your left hand, and English, where you hold it in your right hand and "throw" it, or wrap it, around the needle. They are just two different ways to knit! I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I liked the fact you took your time to explain basic steps.
I would love a free pattern for this exact sweater using worsted weight yarn.
Best knitting video and you explain so beautifully 🙏🙏🙏
How many yarn we need in this sweater. Please explain
The best ever tutorial for a sweater I came across. Very clear instructions Thank you somuch
Would it be possible to add a link here? The one in the notes above comes up as a broken link or not found. Thank you.
This is such a calming and instructive video - thank you for it! This video taught me how to count stitches, how to purl, knit, cast on in 2 different ways, increase/decrease, and ribbing. It's a great way to learn how to knit, especially if you go into it with a mind to practice and redo sections as needed.
I wanted to give a warning out there to anyone else who balked at the price of Crazy Sexy Wool and looked for a replacement yarn for this sweater. I found a good deal on Buttercream Luxe Craft Cozy Yarn and made this sweater with it. It did not turn out well. The seams at the shoulders were bulky and the sweater did not hang well. It looked more like a muscle shirt. So I recommend that you NOT use Buttercream Luxe cozy yarn for this sweater. The buttercream luxe yarn works well for the size 17 needles but is very bulky.
(This was my first knitting project ever, but I watched this video over and over and redid sections over and over so I don't think my issues were due to my inexperience).
Ultimately, I took the sweater apart and am now making another one with just the size 17 needles (different pattern, obviously) and plan to avoid seams at the shoulders because of the yarn.
