Hello everyone! I just made another vid talking about what I learnt & things I did differently while making this vest again (including using alternative neckline option 2). Check it out because you may find some of the information helpful (: xx czcams.com/video/_Rv89mlcxoY/video.html
This series was super helpful, I'm a beginner and the only thing I've even knit before was a scarf in gartner stitch, thank you so much for helping me learn so many new things! â€ïž
Iâm knitting along and loving how itâs looking! If I do the back neckline with the alternative decrease method, would that change the way I have to do the ribbing later? And if so, can you kind of summarize what that would be? Thank you, love the pattern and that you walk through alternatives!
Heya, thatâs great to hear itâs going well đ it wonât affect the method at all, possibly the total number of stitches picked up might change but that doesnât matter as long as itâs divisible by 4!
Dear mena Thank you for your fruitful explanation But I have question re the right neckline On the video you said we should bind off on the purl row Then a written comment appeared on the top of video that you should bind off on the knit row I am confused Kindly clarify Thanking you in advance
Hi Mena- I am so confused about the neckline (back) I have knit to the middle six stitches and then tried to follow instructions from there but I guess I messed up. So I take the right side stitches off onto another needle while I work on the left side of the 6 stitch bindoff?
Hi! So I'm at the 16 minute mark of the knit vest tutorial part 2 and just bound off the 2nd side of the back. Your video says you don't have footage of 'finishing' the back so do I go straight to joining the straps together or is there something else to do 1st on the back?
I'm almost done with my front panel, coming here from the first video. I thought she would explain how she did the orange ribbing for the neckline and armholes but I don't think she does and I don't know how to do it?? does anybody know how please I've been working on the front pannel for like a month D:
Hi Iâm looking for video on petite knit slip over about how to join everything in the round yes she has videos but I canât follow what sheâs doing do you have a video by chance
Iâm following the blue vest as well but idk how many rows I have to do after the armhole. Also how many stitches will be mark up for both sides and bind off how many stitches.
Dear mena I wrote previously a comment and had a question Now I have 2nd question Regarding the blue vest after shaping the two armholes, we should work 38 rows stockinette without decreasing, is that correct? Thanking you in advance
Hi Samar, Thanks for following the tutorial. tbh I made this series a long time ago and can't really remember the details :( Have you checked the written pattern in the description? Sorry I can't be of more help and good luck with the rest of the vest! xx
Hi Mena! Iâm following the pattern for the blue vest. How many rows do I have to knit in stockinette after knitting the 16 rows for the armhole? Hope you can answer, thank you so much đ
Sorry for the very late reply! I think you mean after placing half the stitches on the scrap yarn? In that case you knit another 44 rows (decreasing 22 stitches) and then another 6 rows with no decrease and bind off. Hope that answers your question!
Hello, I'm following the same. I've noticed for the front side we did a total of 130 rows for the blue vest and I'm guessing we need to add same number of rows for the backside. Like after 16 sts decreases for the armhole, we knit either 42 rows or 44 (same as front) and then afterwards do the neckline shaping till we have 21 sts for both left and right strap.
Hi! I'm doing the 2nd neckline method since you said you think it'd be neater but I'm wondering why do you bind off 26 stitches and then decrease 5 on either side? I casted on 74 stitches instead of 90 on both the front and back, decreased the 16 stitches for the sides on both, but on the front I decreased the neck 20 to match the 19 stitches for the straps you have. I have 58 stitches now and have no clue how to divide them! I dont know what I'm doing with my numbers to be honest! I only measured waist and bust and adjusted the cast on but honestly just hoping for the best!
Hey sorry for the late reply. I chose those numbers because I thought it would give a good shape. If you do a similar ratio to that I think it will work out. Perhaps bind off 20 in the middle and decrease 4 on each side? Good luck! (:
@@mena_makes Hi I'm sorry for the late reply too, but I realized I couldn't divide it evenly and have decreases with my straps, so i decided to just bind off the whole row. however my friend was able to put it on and it fit her, now im on your third video about it!
@@ljyonel2205 I recommend the vest from emma pâs channel. Itâs quite similar! Maybe edit it a bit and it should look similar. I also recommend doing the waistcoat stitch for that knitted effect (does use a bit more yarn tho)
hey! Thanks. It's hard to say.. I think it knit it over about a 2 month period but I wasn't knitting everyday. Filming at the same time also slowed me down a bit.
I think the holes appeared because I was using needles larger than the recommended size for the yarn. Let me know though if you try a row of knits first how that looks!
when u finished shaping the neckline on the right im confused how did u add another row if u binded off on the next purl row? if on the left neckline u knit 1 row, purl 1 row then bind off is it not the same if you purl 1 row, knit 1 row then bind off on the right side? also thank u for sharing the pattern!!
I can't remember exactly my logic behind this.. đ€ I think it's because when I was setting up the row, I actually knit 1 row (before binding off the centre stitches) on the right side but not the left.. does that make sense?
is it ok if my first row of decreases for the armholes is the 42nd row? or did i do something wrong hehe i get so confused about this stuff. thank you so much!!!
Doing the duplicate stitch ensures you have the right stitch count, also it looks neater as well but yeah you could do it without creating the extra stitch. I didnât do it for the blue vest & it was ok. I canât exactly remember how it affected the stitch count because I was experimenting a bit with that vest but nothing bad happened. Hope this helps!
Hey Veniesta! I reccommend knitting a gauge swatch with your chosen yarn to work out your tension and then measuring a sweater or shirt you like the fit of to calculate how many stitches to cast on. Hope this helps!
Hi, thanks for this tutorial. But... I have a problem. Is that normal? My back is a little bit smaller than front. I don't know what I did wrong. What should I do? â. đ. đŒđđđđđ€đ đđ€đ'đ„ đđȘ đđđ„đđ§đ đđđđđŠđđđ. đđ đ€đ đŁđŁđȘ đđ đ đđđ§đ đđđ€đ„đđđđ€ đ„ș

i have a question if my vest has 80 stitches for my stitch mark placement what would be the best way to place them?
Welcome back everyone (: lemme know if you have any questions and I'll answer them for you (:

You are very welcome, so glad it's helpful (:
I absolutely loved your instructions on how to bind the shoulder seams. I can't wait to see you do the rest of this sweater. Thank you.
Can you do a tutorial on how to knit a cardigan or a sweater please? PS i love your channel
Thank you! And thanks for your suggestion (:
Yay so happy you uploaded part two!!

Hey, the ribbing is done after you join the front and the back panels (in part 3). Good luck!
I like the stitch method the most....

For the neckline you use 4mm or 3mm?
i need a crochet version of this
haha you won't find that here unfortunately, I'm not very good at crochet! đ
â@@mena_makes I really liked your design thooo and can't find anything close to yours in crochet version. It's beautiful, keep it up.
@@ljyonel2205 I recommend the vest from emma pâs channel. Itâs quite similar! Maybe edit it a bit and it should look similar. I also recommend doing the waistcoat stitch for that knitted effect (does use a bit more yarn tho)
hi i loved this tutorial, its really nice with good instructions, but i have one question, how many hours/days did it take u to finish it all?
hey! Thanks. It's hard to say.. I think it knit it over about a 2 month period but I wasn't knitting everyday. Filming at the same time also slowed me down a bit.
about the holes... what if knit stitch the picked up ones, then doing the rib?
i believe that because the stitches are picked up from a bind off in knitted... might be needed to knit a first row in knit for making it uniformed
I think the holes appeared because I was using needles larger than the recommended size for the yarn. Let me know though if you try a row of knits first how that looks!
when u finished shaping the neckline on the right im confused how did u add another row if u binded off on the next purl row? if on the left neckline u knit 1 row, purl 1 row then bind off is it not the same if you purl 1 row, knit 1 row then bind off on the right side? also thank u for sharing the pattern!!

@@mena_makes yeah that actually does!! thanks
is it ok if my first row of decreases for the armholes is the 42nd row? or did i do something wrong hehe i get so confused about this stuff. thank you so much!!!
6:24 -11:55 how many rows did you knit in total? I added more rows in the front part and now I don't know how to match it :(
hey! it was a total of 12 rows. Which method are you using for the neckline?
Hi! I'm sorry for bothering but what happens if i don't do KF&B in 4.10
Why do i have to duplicate stitch? Ä° could have bind of without creating that extra sticth, right?

Bonjour madame. Pouvez vous mettre traduction française je suis des haut de france merci
@@marinettejones445 I couldn't understand but do you want me to translate my question into French?
Hola mena por favor podrĂas poner traductor español muchas gracias saludos desde PERĂ đ”đȘđ
Can you do this with crochet?
I believe you can, I can't but I have seen a lot of crochet vest videos floating around!
what size is this vest approximately? small, medium, large?
hello, about a medium I would say
@@mena_makes thank you! i'm making the vest currently :)
How many do I cast on for large / XL

Bonjour,
Vos Ćuvres sont magnifiques, je suis en France, ne peux comprendre votre explications verbalement, cependant jâai suivi vos gestes, et jâarrive Ă comprendre. Autant plus , je suis complĂštement dĂ©butanteâŠ.. je vous prie de recrĂ©er les cardigans, gilets, pulls pour nous aider avec votre maniĂšre le plus simples possibles, svp, svp, jolie jeune fille. Merci sincĂšrement.
Vos Ćuvres sont de la class, mais dommage que vous faites trĂšs rarement des tricots dans la gamme : gilet, cardigan, pulls est.
Manifique mais ce n'est pas en français
Por favor con subtitulos en ESPAĂOL!!!!
