Awesome. wow I never knew how much goes into measuring for a sweater. Thank you so much Suzanne.
Wonderful! Hugs and Happy knitting.
I actually learnt more in this 8 min. video, than in the expensive class I took.
Wonderful! Hugs and Happy knitting.
I'm re-watching all the videos thus far for the KAL/tutorial in preparation to start knitting, yay! This was so helpful. Photos and diagrams are okay, but seeing the measuring being done on live models is so much better.
Great!
wow, this is really helpful, thank you for posting it. Your models are very nice, thanks for them too :)
I love my models too, they are both knitting friends. Hugs and Happy knitting.
Who knew, this is fascinating! So much new to learn.

Thank you.
Hugs and Happy knitting.
EXCELLENT,!! Thanks
Thank you! Hugs and Happy knitting.
I just wish I could get all my family members to sit still for this thorough type of measurement LOL... Its like pulling teeth to even get a wrist or hand circ measurement. Great video. Very clear.
Ha Ha, yes, that can be a problem. Hugs and Happy knitting.
I will sit still like a mannequin for a hand made sweater!
Thanks 🌹
You're so welcome, JJ! Thank you for watching! 😊
Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Thank you Angela Valentino! Happy knitting.
This was so useful! Thank you so much and thank you to your models!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, I am going to save this video for future reference.
Wonderful! Hugs and Happy knitting.
I have a very curvy lower back, and large hips. When measuring the back length, do you suggest measuring with the tape measure pressed against the skin, or hanging straight to where I want the sweater to hit my hips?
Great question. How do your sweaters hang on the back? Do they follow your curves or not or somewhere in between? Measure in the same manner. Try on a sweater that will be about the same weight of yarn and check. Hugs and Happy knitting.
Thank you, an other helpful video! Btw, how do you figure out from standard measurements ( if the person is not next to you ) the raglan depth? Underarm depth + some inches + some ease? Thank you in advance! Zsuzsa
If you have a garment that you know fits them, then you can measure the garment. Also, if you do know their underarm depth for a standard set in sleeve, you can add some depth. Take a look at Ann Budd's book Top Down Sweaters and compare the armhole depth, in the schematics, of the different styles of armholes. Hugs and Happy Knitting!
Knitting with Suzanne Bryan Thank you dear Suzanne ♥️
Hi Suzanne, I was wondering if these measurements will work for a yoke jumper for my son. I haven't read Ann's book in full yet just in case the answer is in there. Many thanks.
Yes, they will. Good question. Hugs and Happy knitting.
@@SuzanneBryan Thank you
This is awesome, making my second sweater. My first I frogged my knitting wasn’t consistent. I was knitting with very bulky art yarns and wasn’t familiar with that kind of yarn. Now I only want to make my sweaters with non super wash or hold sw together with something that doesn’t stretch to help curb stretching, after swatching and blocking sw for sweater it stretched so much, it makes me not want to waste my time and money on all the yarn and work a sweater takes.
Can you tell me please if my logic makes sense? Thank you, your instructions are stellar and I can always count on logistics and good trading from as noted greatly in your measurements four size video with models measuring,. Thank you.
Take a look at some of my videos on blocking swatches and sweaters . Here is a playlist of blocking that you can check out. You an successfully knit and block superwash wool. czcams.com/play/PLLKJ9GuhEEwlh9-_VMNmQnUAWDBarKYCj.html
@@SuzanneBryan I'm sorry I confused you. What I am asking is if mohair will help curb SW into keeping an object's original shape?
I like SW wool for the right projects, but as I start to make garments, my thinking and experimentation are showing me that an all SW wool sweater doesn't seem to be the best fit for sweaters that you hope to last. Thank you for the link,
I do block my knits and mostly use SW wools. But typically make shawls and other accessories though.
Thanks. 😊
@@TrudySchwartzBurrill Just an FYI, I have many sweaters knit from superwash wool that last just fine, just as nice as my non-superwash wool sweaters. It is all in the swatching and learning what to expect from your wool. I make really big swatches.
Can these measurements be used also for crocheting a raglan sweater? 😊
Fabulous! I love how detailed your video is.
Thank you! Hugs and Happy knitting.
Can someone please help me? My sweater (s) have a hunchback look to them, too many German short rows, too little? I did a size med at first and that was too big, with huge hunchback so I did a size small and there is still too much fabric, a small hunch in front but I noticed I need to bring in the shoulders in about 2cm so I don't know if that will fit the hunchback and front issues? My gut is telling me to do one less German short row and fix the shoulders but I'm done with trail and error. Thanks for any help
This is great, but how do you translate these measurements into schematics?
This is a great topic for a video. Adding to my video todo list.
