What's your answer to the bonus question? Did you see them all?
4 That I was able to keep track of but I was also knitting at the time 🤣
I counted 5
I'd say 7 + the one from the intro (if the lighting didnt make the last one and the intro one look different)
@@cloknits I counted 6?
Where were you.. when I need you the most? WHY do I NOW understand GSR after seeing your video. Literally made me cry. Because it just made sense how you walked us through this, even if I had no idea what was going on, it just CLICKED. I’m so overwhelming happy
Wow! That's so nice to hear. Sometimes, it doesn't matter how many times you see something, you just have to find the teacher who will speak you langages.
@@cloknits well thank you. You unlocked a world of possibilities for me! Im so grateful to had stumbled upon your video. I immediately subscribed
GSRs are amazing, now you can knit so many gorgeous Scandinavian designs as well. Addictive.
Have just started my first sweater) Thank you so much for leading through this unknown path!
I was disappointed to see that the pattern wasn't free. HOWEVER! Sometimes when things are free we don't value them as much as when we pay for them and paying for the pattern will hopefully motivate me to be tenacious and stick with it. Thank you for all your hard work in making this. Can I say I wish it was your job and it's all you did....?! Be our knitting teacher?! Haha. Wish my granny was still around but you are very close second. Thanks so so so much.
Thank you for the comment. If you haven't bought the pattern yet, watch the beginning of the video again, there's a promo code in the right hand corner to get the pattern for free thanks to my friends at Espace Tricot. Also, i'm glad to say that teaching knitting is actually my full time job. I have a french knitting channel as well as this one and I wrote a book on sock knitting (I'm hoping to get it published in English soon)
Thank you so much!! You helped me knit my first sweater and fall in love with knitting! My sister actually claimed this sweater after I finished it, because it was so soft and beautiful. Now working on my second!
Wow! That's wonderful to read. Thank you for the comment.
Just want to say I come back to this video several times each day I’m knitting-it’s been a few weeks and I’m almost done with my first sweater. Thank you so much!
AMAZING! I'm so glad it is working out well for you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this very informative and instructive video!!
I'm glad you appreciated it.❤️
I am getting ready to make the step to sweaters and found this video to be incredibly helpful and reassuring. Thank you for all the time you put into creating it, 😀
Thank you for leaving a comment, it's truly appreciated. Have fun knitting your sweater!
This is just the video I needed! I have finally gotten the courage up to try knitting a sweater! I just ordered the yarn, but will practice with some scrap yard with your videos so I will be ready! I can't imagine how long it takes you to make these videos and edit them, it is so very much appreciated! Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻 😊❤
You are welcome! Knowing it's helpful to so many makes the times spent so worth it.
Great video! Luv having you there with all the things to watch out for before I stuff it up instead of realising these things later and rip out, rip out. I am going to do my first GSRows collar so wish me luck but with you along side of me it will be so much easier!luv the life line idea. Keep these coming you are excellent at it. Thankyou again! 😍
I'm sure you'll do great!
Thank you for this! I’m knitting the Gingerbread Sweater also a free pattern from Espace Tricot and your tutorial helped a lot. You’re awesome! ❤️
I love that one too! Thank you for commenting!
I think I can actually knit this sweater! Your tutorial was easy to follow and every step explained simply yet completely. I loved learning how to fix problems that may come up or avoid them all together, such as with the lifeline. That really has been what has stopped me from trying. If I made a mistake, I thought I'd have to start over and I just couldn't bear it. As a new knitter, I make more than my share of mistakes. Thank you. A thousand times, thank you!
You are so welcome! Lifelines are so helpful.
Your tutorial is great thank you. Knitting the first row flat makes joining much easier.
It does!
This is a great tutorial and enjoyable to watch. This would be so helpful for new garment knitters especially the short rows and compound raglan for a better fit.
I hope people that are venturing in garment making find it. It would have been helpful for me when I started for sure.
Thank you so much for this tutorial and details. Please continue with more from A to Z knitting videos on making different items and Fair Isle techniques. I am a Continental Knitter. You are an excellent teacher.
Thank you so much! What kind of projet would you be interested in following?
Claudia, this is just the best video for GSRs. Im ready to try a sweater!
Yay! Thank you!
i just finished what is probably my 20th sweater...and still learned a few tips from your video! thanks so much...Jan from Nodaway, Iowa
Wonderful! I love that we can always learn more.
This is definitely a longer knitting video than I usually watch, but it is exactly what I've wanted to know! I hope to try this pattern. Thank you for teaching us and being so clear!
Thank you for watching it. I hope people knit along with the sections with their own sweater!
@@cloknits I hope I can!
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you! ❤
You're welcome!!
Just discovered this channel, and am loving it. Putting aside my sock knitting and trying this sweater. Love your teaching style. 😊
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! ❤ I am a new knitter, and this tutorial took so much fear from attempting a wearable. German short rows, increases were demonstrated so well that I had no trouble following along.
I watched the video twice before actually starting, and now I am knitting away. 🎉
yay! I'm really glad it gave you confidence to do it.
Watching this I am getting the courage to start knitting my first sweater ,so thank you 🙏🏼
I'm glad you found what you were looking for! Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions.
What a wonderfull tutorial for beginners Clo, a lot of work for you. I love all the Espace Tricot patterns. I wish i had a video like this when i started knitting sweaters 15 yrs ago. My first sweater was an all over cable sweater, that was my first mistake😂.
I ended up ripping it out a few years ago and knitting it correctly because it never really fit properly. I am now knitting an all over cable cardigan. There are so many different ways to knit sweaters now. I like the top down patterns as you can try them on as you go. I am going to make this sweater and watch your video as i go. Like knitting with a friend😊🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
Thank you Sharon! It really is like knitting with someone. No everyone gets to take classes but youtube has taught me sooo much!
Thank you for this video, I’m going to start my first sweater!!
Thanks ❤
Yay! Don't hesitate to ask questions along the way.
I was just finishing the body of my Tolsta Tee and was looking all over for a way to cast off. I finally found your channel and followed your advice for a 1 x 1 rib cast off. It worked beautifully. I was very careful to keep my tension loose throughout the whole time and I'm very pleased with the result. Thank you so much.
I'm glad you like the result, sometimes simpler is better!
I am impressed about the quality of your vocabulary. Has a french canadian, I'm not as fluent. 😊 Félicitations!
I've been living and teaching with an American for 15 years now. I think it helps a lot! ;)
I’ve knit many a sweater before but enjoyed watching your video while knitting on a tee today
Glad you enjoyed it!
I figured it out. Thanks for your help.
Bonjour Claudia, vos explications sont toujours aussi claires, en ce qui me concerne je n'ai pas besoin de traduction, le modèle est simple et avec le patron it's very easy to understand !
J'ai fait le pull Primaire grâce à votre cours, donc celui-ci devrait être assez simple mais c'est très rassurant pour un débutant d'avoir des vidéos pas à pas.
Merci, merci, je n'aurais jamais pu progresser autant sans vos cours/tutoriels. ❤ Marie-A from France
Un grand merci !
I love the way to did your explained it going to give a try thank you
Let me know if you have questions!
Just wanted to thank you I was so scared to start short rows but knitting along with you it was easy peasy. I have only done top down for toddlers jumpers before this so have not yet started short rows. I love your tip to put a marker in that KFb at the increases I used to count +8 at the end of every row. So much quicker and I am sure of where I am with you describing the way each stitch should look. Thankyou again luv you to do another pattern pretty please. 💕🥂
Great job!
Bonjour Claudia!! Drops c’est vraiment sympa à tricoter, en plus c’est un fil pas trop cher. Il y a beaucoup de choix chez Drops et avec des modèles gratuits!!!!Je vous remercie infiniment car grâce à vous, je me suis améliorée en technique, aussi pour les chaussettes!! J’ai compris comment faire!! Merci Claudia!! Vos explications sont claires!! Bravo!!!👍👏❤🤗🌹
Avec grand plaisir!
I can’t wait to try this❤🙏🏻
Yay!
Thank you so much for this. I did the Flax sweater watching a CZcamsr from Britain step by step but I did a size with 6 inch positive ease which Andrea Moary says she likes in her sweaters . Way too much for me because I am a 44 bust and was like 50 wide across. Was way too big. It wore me lol. I did do a cotton tee this last summer and turned out well. Just practiced a vest with a cheap acrylic yarn to practice and it is ok but hate the fabric but knew it was more to learn without investing too much on a possible mistake. I need to learn to do a bit of decreasing in the sides so it doesn’t look like a tent. I am not new to knitting but fitted garments yes except can knit socks. I am learning to go down in size more than I thought. Yarn stretches too. Looking forward to knitting this with you. I am too intimidating to take a pattern read it and understand everything for a fitted sweater. Yay 😁 Judy
I understand what you're saying. The trend is to very oversized sweaters in the past years but it doesn't fit everyone's taste. You could look into Amy Herzog's custom fit patterns, it's let you choose all the details of the fit you want. amyherzogdesigns.com/
Really well done! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Awesome tutorial thanks!!!!
You're welcome!
Excellent video. Thank you
You are welcome!
Yes, lots of markers, different colours. I get mine at the dollar store...50 in a bag!🇨🇦🥰Sharon.
Wonderful!
Thank you for such a helpful video
You are welcome!
Thank you today i will start make one❤
Yay! Don't hesitate to ask questions.
SUCCESS! on my first GSR. Thank you! Now that I'm following in real time I'm reading the pattern and it doesn't look so odd to me.
Great job!
This is now my 5th times watching this video and I still can't wrap my head about the German Short Rows. Haha... But, I will not give up. I will keep watching this video until I feel comfortable enough to give this pattern a try. Thank you for making this video. And can I also say that I love the needles you're using? Have a wonderful rest of your day.
Something things seems weird and complicated until you actually try them. Just give it a go and follow along step by step, you'll see that it might be less difficult than you think.
@@cloknits - You're right. Okay, I will try this pattern once I'm done with my current WIP. Thank you for the encouragement. ;-)
There also are several videos on CZcams that explain German Short Rows very well.
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you so much!
@@cloknits I've now bought the pattern and sent off for the Drops Air yarn. With this tutorial by my side I feel confident enough to tackle it. 🇬🇧
I use "Jenny's surprisingly stretch bind off " every time.🇨🇦🥰Sharon.
It's a good one!
Done! Finished my first ever sweater in the round and neck down . Many thanks Clo I will definitely be buying you a coffee. Great video - I’ve referenced multiple times. Now on to my second sweater following you instructions but with a few adjustments to suit my figure. Again many thanks x
Ps no idea how to load a pic 🤔
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm so happy it worked out well for you.
So nice excellent professoral 👍😍🐈
Merci beaucoup 😊
Love your video. Very charming.
Thank you Diane!
Thanks!
Thank you so much, it's really appreciated.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. That was really supportive of you. Ive been knitting for years but i got some good tips from you. Tell me, for a left handed knitter would you reverse the k2togs and ssk? Marguerite from Scotland
You're welcome! Yes I do think that you have to reverse the decreases but I'm not a pro at left handed knitting, so make sure you look at the result and check if your stitches are leaning the correct way.
Thank you Lady, your a wonderful Teacher,& I appreciate this tutorial so much, you made it look so easy. I noticed you were wearing a different colour, which was lovely too. Did you knit each one yarn ( AIR ). It certainly looks very classy, can we also use another yarn? Which yarns would you recommended., Thank you so much. It was a pleasure watching you. 🏴🇨🇦❤️💯
You can absolutely use another yarn. As long as it's an worsted/aran weight and will give you a fabric you'll like at 16sts per 4"
❤❤❤ awesome 👍🏾❤❤❤
Thanks for commenting!
Thank you so much for the German Short Rows portion - it really helps visualize what is going on! Also, do you have specific favorites from Premier yarns? They don't seem to be available in the US.
I'm glad the short row were clear for you. I have tried and like the Stitch Please collection from Premier, I am generally partial to wool.
Thank you! I will definitely be knitting along to this - it was very clear and helpful. Question: on the sleeve, your SSK decrease was slip 1 knit-wise and the 2nd purl-wise. Do you always do it like that? I do mine both knit-wise. But I can't remember if I learned that way or if my technique has evolved that way, and it's really wrong...
The most common way is to slip knitwise twice but I personally prefer how "slip knitwise, slip purlwise" look. It creates a flatter decrease IMO
Bonjour, votre vidéo est super. Dommage qu'elle soit en anglais. Je suis contente, cette méthode de raglan est beaucoup plus simple.
Merci
Bien a vous
Ça fait plaisir!
Thank you so much! Which color of Drops Air did you use?
I used Wheat!
Thank you so much for this informative video! I am starting onmy first sweater now and making a mess of it…
What I don’t understand from the pattern is the asterisk. You say start from the * but what does that mean?
All sections of knitting that are going to be repeated multiple times in a row will be put between asterisks. Does it makes sense?
The other video you recommend to see was not shown in the right hand corner. Can you give me the link please? Thank you.
Hi, I'm sorry it didn't show up. I'll go check what's wrong. Here's the link: czcams.com/video/EBak9CfMtXM/video.html
Love your patterns where can I buy the pattern for the striped jersey you were wearing ❤
Thanks, it's called Aros by Petite Knit, available on Ravelry and her website.
Can u please make a full video pattern for a free fisherman or brioche sweater for beginners ?
Making a full tutorials for sweaters take a lot of time so I can't commit to that right now but I'll keep it in my "to-do" list.
Love your video waiting for my yarn to come in. I notice you use a tool to change your needles may I ask where you got it? Those little keys are a pain to get out all the time. Watched all your videos very very helpful with my colourwork. Thank you sooo much. ❤
Those are the Lantern Moon tightening tools, I really like them because of the good lever and grip they have.
A T-pin works well to switch needles or cords
I purchased my Lantern Moon tightening tool you suggested. To my surprise the cable and the ends also fits my Knitters Pride set. Very difficult to purchase another set of needles. Sooooooo happy because my eyes are not as good as they use to be to use the tee pin. Thank you so much.
@@chardennis9370 Yes the Lantern Moon are part of the same company as Knit Pride and KnitPro. I really hate the Knit Pride cables so I'm glad I get to use my tips with the Lantern moon cables now.
Hi Clo, thanks for all your excellent videos. I'm only knitting 8 weeks but it is addictive. I even took the leap and bought knit pro ginger interchangeable set. So I've been knitting cowls for dogs and lots of dishcloths, really enjoying myself, but I think I'm ready to take on a bigger project. I'm just about to order the yarn online, sadly no local shop which stocks Drops and want to ensure I order all the bits I need for the project.
I only have 4inch tips with the ginger set, should I order the longer tips?
Should I get DPNs?
I have cables and stitch markers, needles, scissors tape measure etc.
Anything else you would recommend?
4 inch tips is perfect and if you have long cords with your set you'll be able to do magic loop for the small circumference so no need for DPNs. Keep asking questions when you need help!
@@cloknits Thank youu
I have a question about this sweater, and another one of what may be a different pattern. I sent my message to you on Ravelry (thought it might have been easiest to go there) but please let me know if you prefer me to ask it here.
P.S. Went to some of your videos in French. I am doubly grateful that you share your generous command of both languages with us knitters. I am reminded of being at McGill in medical school and I would be talking to a classmate who spoke impeccable English and then she would turn to the person on her other side and speak in French like she had no knowledge of any other language. So impressive.
I'll go check on Ravelry for your question.
@@cloknits Thanks! I am xraymd on Ravelry if that helps.
What is the free code for the warm up sweater? Please I can read it on the page description…thank you so much, for all your usefull tips!🌸🌸🌸💗💗💗
Hi, the code is "warmupclo" Thanks for watching!
Claudia by any chance this sweater come in children sizes? I love your tutorial so clear and easy to follow.I’ve 4 grand daughter ranges from 5,10,12,14 . I would like to make them each a sweater. Thanks for sharing😊
It doesn't but you could make them the Flax by TinCanKnits which is also a raglan construction.
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! But…I really like to have a wider and deeper neckline. How do I approach that? Thanks in advance 🍀
Changing a neckline is not necessarily easy. You could start with a bigger size and end your increases when you hit the number of stitches for your size. But maybe it's easier to find a raglan pattern that you love and come here to follow along with your own pattern.
@@cloknits Thanx! I decided to do the last thing you advise. I found a pattern with a neckline I like and along with your great tutorial it’s going great! 👍🏽
I want to use a different yarn with 230m (252yds) per 50g (1.75 Oz) how can I recalculate the number of stitches when increasing?
I suggest you find a pattern that uses the right yarn weight since the designing process is quite intricate and adapting this one will take more than a simple calculation. You can still use this video as a road map to knitting a raglan but using the numbers you find in a different pattern.
May I ask...What interchangeable needles are you using? I noticed the cables do not 'kink' up as mine do now. TY...:)
I have two sets of needles I love to use. The black one with a silver cable are Lantern Moon and I have stainless tips with a red cable that are Chiaogoo.
Question about the yarn: How does it hold up with regards to pilling? Always a concern to spend so much time and $$ especially since it's "Air" spun. Thank you
It pills a bit, but it's not extreme in my opinion. I've sweaters pill way more than this one. (e.i. merino singles!!!)
Are you using lantern moon needles? How do you like them?
What other yarn could you recommend at reasonable price.
Thank you !! Looking forward to giving your pattern a try. Just need my yarn.
Yes i'm using the Lantern Moon interchangeable set, I love them. For yarn, Berroco Mochi could be a good option or any worsted/aran weight in the fiber blend you want should do!
Hi!! Thank you! This is amazing :)
Quick question though: How much yarn did you use in total for this??
I used one ball less than the recommended amount for the smallest size. But it is very short.
THANK YOU, VERY HELPFUL! YOUR ARE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER, I LIKE YOUR STYLE OF TEACHING PLEASE DO A CARDIGAN, A LACE PATTERN ………YOU ARE VERY HELPFUL . YOUR SO CUTE
Thank you
How do we know which size is best for us, like the pattern says 60 cast-on so do I multiply the gauge by that number.
The best way to chose the correct size is to take your favorite sweatshirt and measure it across the bust. Double that number for the full circumference and choose the size that fits that number in the Size section on the first page. Does it make sense?
I have not ever knit a sweater, as of yet. What changes would you make to this pattern knitting for a man (me). I am drawn to a roll-neck, but I am most concerned with a flattering and accurate fit.
For the fit, I would probably make it with a bit less ease and I would change the twisted rib for a regular 1x1 rib. Raglans fit everyone and this sweater doesn't have waist or hip shaping so it's a good unisex choice.
Hi Clo - I wonder if I could ask you a question, please? I'm in the 7th repeat of my raglan increases (knitting 10 repeats in total) and noticed some weirdness going on in one of the sections when I was knitting and thought I had dropped stiches so 'picked up' what I thought were the dropped stitches and continued on. I counted the stitches in the section once I'd got to the end of it and have discovered I have two more than I should have (should have 44 but have 46) I think there may have been some yarn overs somewhere which threw me (I saw loops at the back of my work and thought I may have dropped stitches). How should I decrease these extra stitches? I am reluctant to continue with the round until I've fixed the stitches. Any help gratefully received! :)
There are 2 options: if you don't mind that these "mistakes" stay in the work, you can simply do a decrease at the beginning and end of that section on the first row of the body or the sleeve (depending on were the mistakes are), it won't show much since it's in the armpit area. If the mistakes are distracting you from enjoying the sweater, I would undo below were there are extra stitches to start again from that point. I can tell you if it were me, I would probably keep going and call it a feature ;)
@@cloknits Thanks so much for your reply. I ended up tinking back 1.5 rounds (that was not a pleasant experience with this Drops Air yarn!) and finding the issues - which were indeed yarn overs - and correcting them. I've since made another mistake along one of the raglan seams (in the front, sods law!) and so it is a tad wonky but I decided to 'fudge' it and it looks fine enough tbh! I'm almost at the point where I am doing the rib hem now and have learned a lot during the process. Thanks so much for your great tutorial, it is really good to be able to have a video tutorial alongside the pattern - so helpful. :)
I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. The video is perfect and super helpful but I have the right needle sizes and the 16” cable but when I cast on the stitches are so stretched it’s hard to work any stitches. I’ve recasted about 5 times now, any tips?
The first few rows can feel like that yes. But if it's really too much stretch and it's not working, you can try to cast on with more space between your stitches so it can be a little more elastic. Or you can do 2 rows flat before joining in the round, then it should reach with no issue and you can close the little gap at the end with the tail of the yarn.
@@cloknits thank you! I’ll give it another shot!
Hi from Australia. I get this wrong sometimes so I am double checking before I click buy.
44” chest I like big jumpers 48” so I need 8 balls - correct?
If you are aiming for a 48", it's in between size 3 and 4 so 6 balls should be enough, unless you want to make it longer.
Hello! I have a big question I was hoping you could possily answer and/or do a video on!
I have been crocheting and knitting on and off for a while and for the longest time I have wondered - how do I know what hook or needle size to use with yarn where it is for example not stated or where the label is lost and you don't know what it is?
I am notoriously bad at organization and I was hoping there was a way to measure the yarn or something in oder to begin to figure out what to use.
Look for WIP on CZcams. Using this method you can test any of your yarn and determine its type. From there you can try recommended needles for your yarn
You can also fold the yarn in half and see which hole in your needle gauge it fits through comfortably and start with that size needle.
Yes, you can do the WPI to give you an idea. It's not super precise but it's a start. Same thing for folding the yarn and feeding it through a needle gauge. The most important thing is always to do a swatch with a few different needles to check which one makes sense as a fabric.
For the underarm stitches it says to cast off then pick up. Would it work well to just put them on hold?
What pattern are you working from? Is it worked bottom up? You could absolutely put some sts on hold but it means you might have to cut your yarn and attache it on the other side for that kind of construction.
@@cloknits yes, it is for a bottom up. I figure I have to reattach either way, so was hoping it would be more smooth to put them on hold rather than binding off and picking up. But I thought maybe the bind off would give some structure.
@@kimbarron4239 The bind off does add a bit of structure but it would really depend on the sturdiness of the yarn you are using.
Hi again, Clo. On sleeves now :) Question re decreases and SSK - is there are particular reason why you slipped the first stitch knitwise but the second stitch purlwise? TIA!
I just prefer how it looks that way.
@@cloknits Ah, I see - many thanks! :)

Hi I am so sorry for being so ridiculous. I have ever only knitted a scarf and most basic beanie hat and now decided to knit a sweater for the love of my sweet niece haha but I have zerrooooo idea how to convert the size to one suitable for a 10 year old and how to follow along. Any tips?
If you want to knit a 10yo size, I would find a pattern that is meant for that size so it's not too complicated. I suggest you use the Flax Worsted by Tin Can Knits. And you can follow her instructions while watching the video to understand the actual techniques. She uses kfb, german short rows and it's a raglan so it's quite similar for the general construction.
Hi, beginner knitter here. Im really confused about these two things: You said to soak in hot water (this yarn is not supposed soaked and not supposed to be in water over 30°C) - and, you didnt use magic loop for the collar, but had really stretched out stitches on the too big cable, doesnt this alter the fit of the entire sweater? - apart from this, thanks for the other advice and explanations in the video :)
Hi! For the washing part, brand put a temperature on mostly to stop people from putting it in a washing machine at high temperature which would felt due to friction + heat. The heat itself doesn't hurt the garment, I prefer it because it makes the yarn bloom beautifully. If you are weary of hot water you could always put at room temp, no problem. For the soaking, I have no idea, I've never seen mentionned to not soak a natural fiber... As for the collar, it turned out great. The nylon in this yarn makes it so it doesn't stretch too much and the blocking part is where I make sure the whole garment dries in the shape I want. You couldn't definitely do magic loop though and it would assure that you don't stretch anything too much.
@@cloknits thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me!! will definitely try the hot water then, as id love the blooming you mentioned! all the best to you :)
you don't have to weave in ends (when you start a new ball of yarn) if you brush the ends of both yarns, wrap them around, wet your hands a little, rub them together and continue knitting...works with all woolly yarns
Spit splicing, it's my favorite way to join yarn but it won't work with this one since it has a cotton webbing.
@@cloknits it does work, I've done it on my sweaters that I knitted in Drops Air
I also have tried on some acrylic yarns and it works just fine if the yarn is a little bit fluffy ☺
Oh interesting, I would not have thought it worked. Thanks for the tip!
Bonjour Claudia, la video sera t-elle disponible en français ? De plus, c’est quoi l’équivalent de GSFR en français ? Tu disais aussi d’aller voir un tutoriel pour mesurer quelle grandeur on doit faire selon notre chandail préf. est-ce possible d’avoir le lien ?
Cette vidéo ne sera pas disponible en français non. Les GSR sont des german short row, rangs raccourcis à l'allemande (rra). Pour ce qui est de mesurer sont chandail j'en parle dans cette vidéo en français: czcams.com/video/ZJSHlFhRVaE/video.htmlsi=2SgGai50jBsJt7oA
Bonjour, il existe la même vidéo en français svp ?
Non mais vous pouvez toujours me poser des questions en français! :)
Where is the link to the gauge swatch in the round video? Did I miss it somewhere? Thanks!
It's right here at the end of the video: czcams.com/video/EBak9CfMtXM/video.html
I have the materials. Does it felt or stretch?
I don't find it to stretch much and if you wash it properly it won't felt either.
est ce que ce tuto est disponible en français ? Et puis je le tricoter avec des rayures ?
Non je n'ai pas ce modèle en particulier en français mais je suis certaine qu'avec la vidéo, vous pouvez le faire! Et oui on peut y ajouter des rayures sans problème.
I can not fine the free pattern. This is my 1 st. Time knitting a sweater.I am trying to watch the video and write the instructions.
Hi Nina, you can click on the link in the description to go to the ravelry page and enter "warmupclo" at checkout to get it for free.
I can't find the pattern. Can you please send me the link🤞🤗
Hi! The pattern link is in the description box. I'll paste it here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/warm-up-sweater
Please help. My measurement is 46cm. So, 46x2=92. According to the pattern,the second bracketed sizes end at 70cm,cm and the third set starts at 124cm. There is no in between. Both these two options are seriously not right for me. What to do.
In the finished circumference measurements, all the numbers before the / are in inches and the numbers after are in cm. Then every number is a size, the brackets are just a visual aid for you to find your indications faster in the pattern. So you would probably be the 1st size (which I put between ** down below) for 10cm of positive ease, or 2nd size if you want 17cm of positive ease.
Finished circumference at bust:
(40, 43, 47) (49, 51, 55) (58, 61, 63) (65, 68, 70)” / (*102*, 109, 119) (124, 130, 140) (147, 155, 160) (165, 173, 178) cm
@@cloknits Claudia. Thank you so much! I m now going to begin. So excited. It makes me feel very safe to have you nearby 😂🙏🙏🙏🙏🌺
You say knit to the end of the row. Where does the pattern say this and on what rows?
Could you point me to the timestamp on the video? I will be happy to answer.
Pattern isn't free anymore. Looks nice and cozy though. I might get it anyhow
Close to the beginning of the video, I put a link up in the right hand corner that gives you a special code to get it for free, thanks to the amazing owners of Espace Tricot.
Hi Clo, i'm plannig on knitting this sweater but i want to try to add colorwork to it. I've seen some colorwork tutorials and the increases on the yoke are done, for example, every 3 stitches or so (like in this tutorial czcams.com/video/yDuiJhBOiD4/video.htmlsi=RW1kTNznPngu-py2 the increases on the yoke are every X stitch and not before/after stitch markers as in raglan construction), so my question is if it's possible to make a raglan colorwork sweater and if so, how can i add the colorwork chart to the yoke without messing up the increases? i'm a new knitter so i'm not sure if raglan sweaters and colorwork get along well or if i should just do increases every X stitch as in the tutorial i linked. Thank you!
By the way, thanks for the effort you put in making this video for us new knitters!❤
Hi! Colorwork is usually worked on a round yoke because it's easier to create a chart with consistent increases. If you want to make a raglan colorwork, you'll have to make seam lines and adjust the chart so it grows on either side of those 4 seams. Am I making sense? Depending on the complexity of the chart it can be easier or more difficult. Here is a search that will let you see what it looks like: www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#pa=raglan-sleeve%2Bstranded&sort=best&view=captioned_thumbs
ohhh i see, then for avoiding all that trouble i'm gonna do the colorwork after doing all the increases haha, that way i can use your pattern since i really want to try it. thank you so much for the quick response!!
@@salome5476 You're welcome
Okay I don’t see the promo code
It's "warmupclo" ❤️
@@cloknits thank you soo much!!
I cant find the code.
You can write to me at clotricots@gmail.com . I'll be happy to send it to you.
You said you’re knitting size 1? In US- that’s teeny. I’m afraid the sizes are not US sizes? Can anyone answer me?
Most knitting patterns have their own sizing. You have to go look at the finished bust measurements of the garment and knit the size that you prefer. Generally I tell people to measure the width of their favorite sweater to know which size to knit.
Hi! Completely unrelated to knitting: Are you French Canadian? I think I discern an accent there! 😊
Hi! Yes I am, I live in Montreal, raised in Lanaudière. Very québécoise!
My toxic trait is thinking I can do this as my first knitting project. 😅
I mean, you could! If you don't mind having to redo a few things, I absolutely don't see why you shouldn't try. It's a great learning experience.
@cloknits thank you so much 😊 I already have my yarn picked out, and I'm super excited! Your channel is a fantastic resource, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
All the best/nice wool (yarn) and needles are sold over seas. Not like what is sold here in South Africa....that's so sad 😢 lol
I'm so sorry to hear that. I really have no idea where you could find nice wool in South Africa. I'm guessing the shipping must cost a fortune if you buy from elsewhere.
@@cloknits the taxes are a bit much yes. Even with the needles, but it forces a person to be resourceful hahahahahahaha
Please send me a link to buy you a coffee xx
