My first time knitting after 25+ years of not knitting anything at all. I was about 6-7 when I showed interest in knitting and then switched to crocheting. This is my first time picking up the needles in my adulthood and it's like being reunited with an old friend. It's a very wonky and slow start but I'm determined to finish a sweater for my son following your instructions. Let's see how it goes!
I’m glad to hear it! You’re right, take it easy, step by step, and enjoy 😊
Have a great knitting comeback!
you are not alone, same here 😅
I have already knit this sweater by your instructions to my grand daughter and now i started to knit one mor with another color! Thank you so much
Excelente! Enjoy the second one! Happy knitting 🤗
Thank you for this beautiful pattern, I just finished knitting it (my first ever sweater!) for my 2 year old’s birthday and it was a complete success! Instructions and video were clear and easy to follow.
Was just looking for random patterns to challenge myself and I have to say thank you because not everyone can write coherent patterns. I'm often confused and wondering what the pattern maker wants but you have made the process very easy. Also thank you for making a video to follow along!
Thanks it's very easy to follow stop by step. I will start to knit for my baby
Thank you and happy knitting 🤗
Many thanks for the simple explanations.
I'm making a second one. Will donate to charity.
Much appreciated

Starting on minute 16:30 😉
thank you for this good learn child sweater
Awesome thank you
Very well explained! Thank you!
Hello, thank you for an excellent video and written instructions. I'm looking for guidance on rows 21 & 22 for raglan, you say knit 21 & 22, so no purl, just 2 knit rows? Thank you
Knit row 21 and purl row 22.
Would you be able to give me size for large sweater I made your size 4 toddler and absolutely love it thank you so much my older granddaughter wants one just like the small one
You have the BEST channel!! I love your videos, please keep up the great work 😊
Thank you Sophie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, really nice pattern and easy to follow for beginners! :) The video explanation seems correct and clear, however, on the blog there seems to be an error in the last 4 stitches of row 5 of the neckline ribbing (of the back and front piece).
Could you explain the 5. Row of the neckline if you got it. I'm stucked there
Thank you this is what I have been looking for.👍
I have a problem with counting stitches. So I start with 58 and follow instructions until I reach the underarm. Then, I decrease 2 stitches every other row until I reach row 19. That means I have reduced 9x2=18 stitches. By my calculation, 58-18 equals 40 stitches left on the needle, not 34. Where am I going wrong?
At the underarm (row 47) you bind off 2 stitches (58 →56 stitches) and 2 more on row 48 (56→54 stitches). Then you decrease 2 stitches on every odd row up to row 19 (which is 20 stitches in total) which will leave you with 34 stitches. Hope that helps :)
Great tutorial /made 2 sweaters for 3 yr old twins / thanks for your video
I’m happy to hear it! Thank you for your comment 🤗
What size needles did you use for a 3yr old please and how many co stitches.. sorry if I sound dumb but I haven’t been knitting long and would love to make this for my grandson..
Take a look at the written instructions, just click on the link below the video, on the description box 😉
Can you please help me out. I can't understand after the decrease. What to do next when 34 stitches are remaining. The next step please?
I am a beginner and loved your directions. Sweater cam out as it show in your picture. Thank you so much. Need to make a cardigan for my 24 months old grand son. Can you guide me if you have any posts.
Can you explain the next step, after the decrease when ,34 stitches are left?
Wonderful instruction and easy
I’ve knitted the jumper but cannot find how to sew it together, can anyone send me a link for a video tutorial? Please
Thank you so much for clear vidio
I've made a lovely sweater for a friend's little one.
However, there seems to be a small mistake in the pattern which I didn't notice until I sewed it up.
It's in the neck ribbing for the front/back. The very end of the 5th row has left me with a row of 4 purl stitches instead of plain. I've knitted these 6 rows separately so I could check. Other than that everything worked out fine and I'm sure she won't notice it.
The same happened to me. I think the blog description has an error but in the video that part is explained correctly.
Thank you so much for your instruction video's!
Thank you
Thank you. Very well instructed. My sweater has come out very well.
I loved this video! I made this for my nephew and it came out really well especially for my first time attempting a garment of any kind. I was wondering if you had this exact pattern for an adult sized sweater?
Good
Can I please have the pattern for a 4 year old. Size 2 to 4 years is too fitting for a 4 year old. Thank you. Love your videos.
Thank you ..😍😍
I love this pattern. I made it for my 3 year old grandson and it turned out great. I would love to make another one for my 12 month old grandson. Any suggestions how to do this, or do you have a similar pattern in smaller size? Thanks
Thanks a lot 😇
Hi So Wolly. I just love knitting patterns like this.
Would you be able to make a video of this pattern for a 6-12month baby please? Would really appreciate your help ☺️

How do I make this one for a 6 year old? I've made 4 so far in this size and now my eldest wants one too
Did you work out how to do this? My 6 year old really wants one too. Thanks
i assume u cast on more and just go from there x
Or you can go up a needle size. That should work. She uses 4 and 5 so try using 5 mm and 6 mm with a 4 weight yarn
Thannnnkkkssss🌷❤️🌷
Hola me encantan tus videos. Tienes algún video paso a paso para un cardigan manga raglán para ninos de 6 a 8 años?
Gracias! La verdad es que no, los que he hecho son para niños más pequeños
Hello please can you show me how to join the sweeter together.
Hello, you can follow this tutorial (it’s a cardigan, but also Raglan, so the process is the same): ua-cam.com/video/lbSfZr_oBYI/v-deo.htmlsi=Pze0EJSSVOfvQP1r
Go to minute 16:32
Dear teacher I followed your instructions and patterns I did it in a very small size for a baby girl now here come my problem I have front and back and two sheelve as giving as a present I have to do it nicely but how to sew it
Dear Joanna, I’m happy to hear it! Please take a look at this tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/lbSfZr_oBYI/v-deo.html From minute 16:23 onwards, you’ll see how to block the sweater and how to join the pieces using the invisible seam technique. Good luck 🤗
Just finished the sweet sweater, do you have a tutorial on how you sew the seam? That's my biggest problem thanks.
Hi Peggy, I’m happy to hear it! Below this video, on the description box, you’ll find the link to another tutorial where I explain how to block and join your sweaters 😉
Hello if i want to knit for sizes 1-2 years, how to measure the sizes? 💗
Can someone help me out please. After decreasing when 34 stitches are left, then what do i do next. Please help me out
Hi, if you have 34 stitches left, it means you haver just finished decreasing 2 stitches on the FIFTH row (see "Raglan shaping"). Continue decreasing 2 stitches every alternate row (the row numbers are on the pattern) till you have 16 stitches left. Then follow the pattern.... Hope this helps.
How many stitches are needed for the neck and that sleeves please?
Hi! How should I adapt this for chunky wool? Thank you💜
Hello can you show me how to join the sweeter together.
Great video, do you have these instructions in smaller sizes x
Thanks! Not for this one, I'm afraid...
Hola lo podrías traducir al español gracias y muy bonito
Hola, también está en mi canal SoyWoollyendirecto 😉
Aapne 3 to 4 yrs sweater ke neck cutting front ka to btaya hai but back ka explain nhi kiya. Pl btaiega
Hi I have just starting to knit I followed you how to knit this sweater but can you help me how do I knit this same one but for a 1/2 years thank you for your time
For 6/7 years old daughter
Thank you so much for this 😊
For the sleeve, do you knit 23 rows after the first ten or do you knit 13 rows after the first ten to make 23? Beginner here
After the ribbing, you need to work 48 rows, increasing on rows 1, 11, and 23, and decreasing on row 47. Take a look at the pattern here: sowoolly.net/how-to-knit-a-sweater-for-children-aged-2-4-years-step-by-step/
@@sowoolly thank you!
Happy knitting 🤗
Great tutorial, question if I use 3mm and 4mm would this give me size 2 -3 years thankyou
I think I used a 4.0mm and it turned out perfect for my 2 year old . Other than being loose in the neck . She's only 25lbs and 33" tall
How do we know how many stitches to cast on for a 2 year old
Help I'm lost on the increase of sleeve how much do increase by on the 23 rows of stockinette
Is it 46 rows after the ribbing rows?
How many stitches will i need to cast on to knit for a newborn baby
how do you ajust the pattern so i know how many stitches to cast on for my baby
How can I get the neck hole smaller? I feel like the hole would stretch way too much and look like a drop shoulder blouse
That's what happened with the one I made for my 2 year old. The only thing I can think of is stop before you do the neck line on any parts. Leave the stitches on a stich holder. When you've finished sewing all the parts together go back and pick up the stitches for the neck line. Add extra stitch on the corners where you sewed together if you need to. Knit in the round with the smaller needles.. you. After 8 rows you might want to decrease 4 -8 stitches depending on the child's neck size. And knit several more rows k2P2. So it's taller.
The one I made for my toddler who's 25lbs 33" tall. The neck line is open and sits on her shoulders. I put a t shirt underneath and the t shirt is visable at the neck but it's too late for me to fix it. I'm going to attempt the sweater again making adjustments where I need to fit my baby better. And look nicer..
The neck line was my only real issue with this pattern
I made this for a 2 year old and it looked great! Now, how do I adjust it for a 3 year old?
This sweater should fit 2-4 years.. I made mine using 3.0 and 4.0 needles and made it longer before doing raglan to fit my baby better. She's 2.5 years old but is skinny and tall. . For a 3 year old you can make it longer just remember what you do on the front and back do to the sleeves as well.
@@loving110995 Thank you for your reply! I will give it a go..
If you want to make it wider increase the cast on stitches by adding on sets of 4 stitches .. then you can increase the length.. and for the neck just make sure the hole is large enough to fit over there head...
Another thing you can try is stop knitting before you do the k2 p2 for the neck and leave the sts on a stitch holder, then finish all the pieces and sew together so when you work on the neck you can work in the round. To me this looks neater and fit my baby better. 16" circular needles will work. And around 80-88 stitches should be plenty large enough .
@@loving110995 Thank you for your help! 😊
I have my own version of this sweater I made following her pattern. However I changed it to start from the neck and go down to the belly. And I knit in the round so I don't have to sew as much together. To me it's easier and looks nicer and can fit my baby better.
Hi! I am trying to do this sweater in DK/sport weight yarn; made my gauge with kneedle size 5mm, 17 sts x 24 rows (4x4”): my problem is that i find t small for a 4 year old. Is the 58 sts to CO for a 4 year old? or do I need more stitches? thank you for your attention
The pattern recommends worsted yarn . You would probably need a few more stitches .
hey, good afternoon first of all
can i know if i want to make one for my self with the same pattern how could i make it ????
sara wael idk if you found a solution, and in a beginner so take this with a grain of salt but I think you would need circular needles and do everything the same but cast one more. So say you measure around your waist and it’s 30 inches and you wanted your sweater to be a little loose, we’ll say 32 inches just for ease, if you cast on how ever many stitches to make it 16 inches (because the front and back is the same) it would probably work. Idk what you would do ones you got up to the arms but if you just measured your body and made the rows it would probably work out. Good luck :)
Hi hope I get a reply the start of raglan shaping for the sleeves does not have a bind off of 2 stitches to start the raglan shaping like most sleeves do like the front and back of this sweater is this correct
Hi, it’s correct
Hello Dear : it happen the same thing to me i ended with more stitches in the sleeves ....maybe you want clarify again .....thank you
Hello Carmen, maybe you are not making the decreases needed, or you are increasing stitches without even realising it. Please take a look at the written instructions below the video, on the description box. Good luck ;D
Sorry I’m looking for the link how how to join this cardigan
I just sent you the link (it’s also a Raglan, so the technique is the same).
I love this sweater, but how many stitches do I cast on for a 2 year old?
Thanks! The size is good for av2 year old (take a look at the written pattern to see the measurements)
I made it for my 2 year old using smaller needles since she's skinny
Next part
i only have 4mm needles, do you think it will work out fine only using those?
It could be smaller, maybe for 2 years 😉
@@sowoolly perfect, that's exactly what I am looking for! thank you so much!
How can I make this for a 10 year old. Can you tell me how many stitches do I start with. Thanks
You would need to knit a Guage swatch and take measurements of the child. And see how many sts it would take to get the size you need.
Can you please give the pattern for 11 years old boy... He is 5 feet tall and his shoulders are 14 inches
Hello! I haven’t calculated this pattern for more sizes, but I’m working on a new one 😉
@@sowoolly I'd humbly ask you to make something with the size of my boy and with needles 4 or 4.5 much thanks
I am new knitter and you tube learner....I know all the stitches but want to learn how to make armpits or collar ov project......how I can learn this so could make projects by my own..
this will help u.

I love this pattern do you have any for 1yr olds or younger?
Thank you! I have several for younger babies, but not this one. Please take a look at my playlist Easy knitting patterns for babies-toddlers 😉
@@sowoolly thank u so much
Maybe try a #3 dk or sport yarn and size 3.0 and 4.0mm needles. Following this pattern
Please for 3 - 3.5 neddles how many stiches I need for baby' s sweter 2 years old baby
I calculated this pattern for this gauge only
How to sow the knitted
I cannot find reading instructions
Next to the title of the video, you’ll see the word “More”. Click there and the description box will appear. You’ll find the link to my website there.
Why its nassery to put in water before join parts?..
Because the Stockinette stitch curls. It’s easier to sew the sweater after blocking (this process helps the pieces to stay flat) 😉
I like your exact explanations please can you recommend me how to knit women cardigan bottom to up .. i cant knit with secular needles.. thank you so much
@mikyrosenblum1240 Yep! I have a new one that came out recently: How to Knit Your First Comfy Cardigan (quick and super easy!) - So Woolly

Happy knitting 🧶
If i knit rhis with dk yarn will the instructions be the same?
Yes, but if your gauge is smaller, the sweater will be smaller too 😉
3 to 6 months
Is this for 3 years old baby
And tell me one more thing that I knitted this sweater with velvet woolen is looks nice or not
Yes, from 2 to 4 years of age. Please check the measurements included on the written instructions 😉
Honestly, I don’t like that kind of yarn, but if you do, knit a swatch first and be sure that it’s what you want.
