- Even though I had to frog part of my work, once I got past the tough start I really enjoyed knitting this blouse. I love how it turned out even more, now that I have a beautiful, fuzzy, antique-inspired, cottagecore top to wear!

That's a great piece! I kept saying : "no, go to sleep, leave it!" on your midnight stitching. I never work on anything when I'm tired or if I wake up too early and can't sleep because it never failed that I would have to start over later in the day or next day when I was actually functioning. Great job!
This makes me want to learn knitting. I wish this was a crochet pattern, but I guess I gotta go buy some knitting needles now!
If transitioning to knitting is hard for you, try holding your yarn continental style! Often much easier for crocheters and it was the thing that unlocked knitting for me.
@@thebugbear I know a little knitting, but only enough to make a basic square with no fancy stitches, but I was actually taught to knit continentally first by my grandma. I'm from Denmark, so that might explain that, I think that's how most Danes knit, but regardless, I don't think I would know how to knit the " American" way 😁 But thank you for the suggestion, I would imagine the transition from crochet to knitting would be harder if you knit non-continentally!
You could do something similar in crochet. I think the key to keeping the puff sleeves light would be using a slightly large crochet hook for the mohair you choose, to open the work a bit. It would be really tough to mend mistakes though. Those mohair crocheted stitches would lock right in on the first go round.
One of my grandmas tried and tried to teach me knitting as a small child but I'd lose everything off the needles & could never bind off... Left handed problems.. Crochet all my life because I learned mirror style but that doesn't work with knit...
Thanks to the power of CZcams and a left handed knitter with excellent photography skills, I was able to finish learning the basics& completed by first knit projects when I was 57 years old...
So go ahead and give it a whirl!
You got this!
This could totally be adapted into a crochet pattern. It wouldn’t look exactly the same of course, but you could get a very similar effect to the lace going down the center front with the right combination of stitches.
I felt that horror music more than you ever know. Probably because I’ve never even thought of a life line when working with lace. That would have saved me hours and hours when I’ve had to completely restart a project because I ripped too far and got lost or didn’t put the yo back in the right places. I’m so glad you made this top! So gorgeous! I might need to make myself one!!
I pretty much never knit from patterns (though I often take a technique, construction or stitch from one or several patterns), and I often unravel a couple of times per project because I change my mind or because something doesn't turn out the way I want to, as well as because I made a mistake. At this point I view it as part of the process, and would much rather unravel than end up with something I am not happy with.
Beautiful! Watching your videos has shown me that my wardrobe would benefit so much from some pretty, short-sleeved vintage sweaters.
Oh man I felt the unravelling and ending up at 2 in the morning on a spiritual level... beautiful project!
Nutella looks just like my mom's aussie! So cute!
The lace is beautiful and so delicate
The dramatic cathedral music while unraveling made me laugh out loud.
OMG...I cannot tell you how many times I've had to undo a whole stretch of stuff on circular needles... I empathise! I love your channel xxx
Ugh been there. I've learned that don't knit too late lesson more than 3x in life, even after I learned it "for real". I have completely restarted more than a couple of projects. However, it did make me braver to blindly unravel without a lifeline and start again successfully a couple of times, when I didn't want to start over. I wouldn't do that with every project but there's something nice about the freedom from the fear of mistakes at that point.
This is so beautiful! I'm glad you decided to use the mohair for the sleeves, and I hope you make this (and feature more Fabel Knits patterns) again!
I'm currently halfway through the first full sleeve on my own one of these.
Could you possibly make a video on how you hold your needles? I learned to knit with really chunky needles and yarn so the way you hold yours with your finger stabilizing the yarn wasn’t how I was taught and the way you do it looks so much more efficient!
I believe she uses the continental style of knitting. It's a lot faster than English or thrown knitting. I've been teaching myself to use it (thanks to CZcams).
@@shawnkimadopting correct, this is how we do it in here. With this term xou should find something
It’s absolutely beautiful! Gorgeous work ❤
🤣💙 Came for the knitting, stayed for Nuttella. 🐕
How lovely it that!! I’m in love with the designer! I did one of the big sleeves and I felt on the torso… I little bit frustration for cannt try correctly but the designer are great!!
those mohair sleeves are so cute!
I have made that late night mistake too many times! My work around now is to always have an easy project like a sock or a hat waiting for those late night knitting itches. I can keep knitting but my project is safe from my overly tired mistake prone brain.
Long torso club assemble! I always have to add a couple of inches/a whole extra pattern repeat for mine. I also hate cropped things, which maybe is common among us with long torsos, I don't know.
My torso is long too, so I feel this deeply haha
That's such a nice blouse! Looks kinda like 1940's does 19-teens.
this isn't my style of clothing at all but i'm gonna have to find someone to knit this for bc it is absolutely stunning.. truly breathtaking the way the linen, mohair, lace, short sleeves, and color work together
Oh my gosh that is beautiful! And it looks really comfy!
Oh, so prettyyyyy🥰🥰🥰 and what a beautiful location to film a reveal! 😍👏 stunning!
I felt your pain when you had to frog, I only knit plain things when I'm tired, I've learned!!!
That's a very pretty pattern xx
It's so lovely! The mohair was such a fantastic choice for the sleeves as well. The way the fibres catch the light is so stunning. For such a seemingly subtle change, it has a tremendous effect!
This makes me want to knit with linnen too!
Now I need to make a crochet version of this...
Wonderful level of dog involvement That is a great project. Thanks for sharing.
It is gorgeous and you're right, the mohair is the perfect delicate finishing touch. 💜
This is such a stunning project. You have done such great work and it's so delightful to see your joy. I am finding so much peace in cottagecore content and am really enjoying knitting a long UFO lace shawl.
Absolutely lovely blouse, and it looks great on you. I'm just learning to knit but haven't knit for about two weeks... This has inspired me to pick up the needles again and persist, thanks!
Beautiful 🌹✨💫
gorgeous
It’s so pretty!
sooo pretty! 👏🏻💐
literally chills at the reveal you are so talented and beautiful
Absolutely love it. Gorgeous with your white skirt. Looking forward to seeing more. 😊
I have been searching for a linen tank top pattern and then watched this video. Voile, my search is over. This is so beautiful with or without mohair sleeves. Thank you for sharing your craft and this marvelous creation.
Very pretty
The sleeves look so delicate it's gorgeous!
Wow the finished shirt really blew me away, the thought that you just made that whole thing with your own hands! As someone who can’t knit, crochet or sew I’m so impressed
Lovely pattern!
That would be great if you showed us a step by step tutorial on how to do it!
A truly stunning blouse in linen. Thus makes me want to knit with linen too. I am glad to see the designer also has an etsy shop to buy the pattern so I don't have to go through etsy.
nice. I love it!!!!
Maybe when knitting late you could run a lifeline just in case! Save you lots of frustration having to rip it all out.
Nutella is so cute I almost cried
The sweater is sooo pretty!
Stunning! I love the yarn you chose, that mohair goes perfectly with the linen. It must've been fate!
It turned out great!
Congratulations on redoing it to make it right.
It reminds me of sweater blouses from a few decades back.
That looks so beautiful!
this is stunning, took my breath away when it was done
I really do need to learn to knit
This is fantastic! I absolutely love it. I was puzzled about the mix of mohair and linen, but it's perfect.
The finished product looks amazing!! Great work :)
Lovely
Very, very pretty! I totally felt where you were when you had to frog that first bit. I've been making a wingspan shawl and came upon a complicated row that had some weird cabling. I decided to use a lifeline for the first time and was so glad I did because I had to rip sections of it about 4 times. That row took me something like 2 hours. I've had to do it a few more times and am comfortable with it, but still use a lifeline. Truly a lifesaver!
Beautiful. Your rendition is lovely on you!
It is lovely and it fits you very well. :)
This is super nice pattern and love the color too. I love it just leave it straight down by the way, it looked great on you.
What a delight to look at and it suits you so perfectly ❤️ Very well done!
I 😍 it, thank's 💃
Gorgeous pattern, and cute cute Nutella!!!
Your dog is so beautiful 😍 I had a Sheltie when I was young and she looked a lot like your dog 🐕
This turned out really nice! I put lifelines in all the time, since things have fallen off when moving the project and I'd rather avoid that disaster again.
it looks amazing!! & the cinematography in this video is *chefs kiss* 🤌 i love the colour you chose too!
Stunning 🤩 It fits you so nice. Well done 😃👍🏻
I do not normally watch anything with "core" in the title, generally they can be someones' take on an idea rather than the idea itself. This turned out to be a lovely top and was worth watching, very feminine and a professional job.
Birdy
oh, I understand you much, night time knitting leads to mistakes, I just suffer from it 😢
Lovely top! Perfect color choice, too- really makes the lace take center stage!
Ahhhh it's so pretty! I love Fabel's designs.
This was lovely to watch! Thank you.
I love your knitting bag! I made jammie bottoms out of that fabric - CHICKEN PANTS! Now I need to make a knitting bag from the leftovers!
That came out beautifully!
Beautifully done!
Well Done ... amazing
very gorgeous and pretty! Looks so so comfy
So beautif
Hi,it's lovely, so delicate and dainty. I've never heard of a stitch saver thread .💖
Gorgeous!
Oh wow, I love that blouse! So super pretty. I have some of that linen yarn in my stash, I wonder if I have enough to make this!
Stunning!! ❤️❤️
Beautiful, it’s nice to see how it looks in linen. I bought the pattern a while ago but didn’t have time to do it for this summer. Will do for the next.
Love love your beautiful Nutella!! She is SO beautiful and well behaved!
I know this must’ve been heartbreaking to frog, but thanks to having watched this video last week, I managed to save a project for the first time. I had no idea you could go back and pick up stitches with a thread a few rows back (I’m still pretty new to knitting!) and I was so nervous trying it since I couldn’t watch a video of how it’s supposed to be done, but I managed and all thanks to this
I had to frog 2 days worth of a blanket last night (2.4m of blanket on 1.5m needles with fuzzy yarn, the needles broke and it was impossible to pick up stitches). I feel your pain 😭
Oh man, having to go back and fix errors in knitting is the WORST. It's honestly the thing that made me switch from knitting to crochet.
Awesome 👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is so beautiful! I love the look of it on you, too. May I ask how long it actually took for you to complete this sweater from start to finish? Knowing how fast you knit, I would say for the rest of us we'd have to probably triple or more that time!
I adore this top, but i dont knit. Is there any way to do this as crochet?
Frumos o schemă la model la elastic și pe mijloc
Can you talk about using the Kitchener stitch to bring the straps together? I thought the Kitchener stitch was not supportive and I feel like that sleeve seam gets a lot of wear because the whole sweater hangs from there. Also, you seem to be wearing a belt with this sweater? Can you discuss this?
I can't imagine letting mohair touch my body in the summer.
Truly gorgeous!!! I'm wondering if it's suitable for beginner knitter? I've only kitted several basic scarfs so far. Thanks!
Just an FYI, with the Lindy Chain yarn, I used the dark red and the color did bleed when wet( thankfully I washed it by hand by itself) also the linen blooms once it gets wet so the stitches or gaps may close up a bit.
Is the mohair really warm? Or does it breathe ok for the summer? I Have some green lindy chain yarn and I want to make another antiquity blouse. My first one is SW wool so not really summer friendly
8:09 I have no practical knowledge, but am wondering if the 3-needle bind off at the shoulders was to provide structure? Will the sweater stretch at the shoulders without that firmness? I’d love to know what happens!
so totally don't put your videos on in th background as i knit or crochet lol. I have a question though. do you have any tips for sizing up a pattern for like tops/skirts/other clothing? I'ma big girl and i see so many patterns I'd love to make and wear but i've never done more than socks/gloves/hats/ect because i can never find a nice top patter that has a size that will fit me(example most i find go up to large or xl but i need 2x/3x depeding on the way the shirt would sit) how would i size up a pattern to the size i need?
When you go to the Ravelry page that has this pattern, it includes 2XL & 3XL so you can try it.
Hi! I'm knitting this right now, and in the first row i already am in trouble ... I need more than 25 stitches to do the first row for the lace panel... when following all the steps i end up with 31 stitches. I've been knitting this over and over and i don't know yet why it's like this... (i'm a beginner level)
How does the linen yarn feel?
nutella said “PEEPOL!!!!!!!!! it’s nutterz time” lol
