Stumbled across this one from last year while getting ready to knit a cardigan. This has some good considerations that some people don't mention or think about. Thank you for putting it here 😊

Love the sweater your wearing and the colours can you tell us about both please. great tutorial I wanted to try continental but didn’t know where to start so I’m a new sub glad to have fo

Woah when you said “measure” the stitch everything made sense

I enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot. I have had the Musselburgh hat pattern for 3 years and I have knit 8 hats in different weight yarns. My favorite is fingering weight. I have one on the needles now and one to cast on in yarn my daughter brought me from Scotland.

After watching video…I think I’m going to knit one! You sold me!

I m the only person who doesnt like th e ranunculous . To me it looks like a tatty old.dishcloth full of holes and it makes the wearer look like they are terrible knitters. 😆 so I find its popularity quite mystifying. Equally mystifying is that there are beautiful lace yoke tops such as Humle (a free pattern) which have only a dozen or so takers .

I landed here because I've been trying to learn continental ( after 45yrs English/throwing ) but finding my purls so much looser......thank you for such an informative video ❤

I always have multiple WIPs. I’m like a magpie, I pick up a project as I learn a new skill or pretty yarn. Though I Recently I finished two WIPs and a brand new sweater (even though I had to frog the entire project due to making it way too large. Seriously, I could fit three hobbits as well as myself) in a matter of three months. Now I’m frantically trying to find a bunch of projects to start.😂

*YOU ARE FRENCH??*

Many thanks for the great tutorial. Just finished my first sock and found the construction fascinating. I also feel like I have mastered the magic loop technique, I’d never really seen the point of it before , but it made so much sense for socks. Thanks again.

This is the reason I made a Ranunculus. I didn't like the original photos, but I saw photos of linen t-shirt versions and I loved them so I made my own. It's not cropped, it's more fitted that the pattern photos, and I love it!

Hi Claudia Have you ever got to sleeve separation and a few more rounds, then changed your mind. Ripped it all and sized up or down? I'm just not sure. My sweater fits but, just not that sweatshirt loose, comfy fit that I was wanting. Will I be able to block this yarn a little larger? If yes, I will keep on working the body and move ahead. Thx for your opinion!

Hi! Your video is so interesting! I have never knitted a Ranunculus myself so I have no idea how the pattern is inside so it is great to hear your description! Last week, I released The Everknit cardigan that has the same background concept: can be knitted with ANY yarn, any gauge and it is for all the sizes! I have knitted my 1st version with a bamboo yarn for the summer. My 2nd one is with a big kid mohair and I added the sleeves (option offered in the pattern) and I also knitted one with sequins, so adorable! For every version I used less than 2 skeins, so also a good yarn idea project!

I love this pattern and have knit several! Great way to showcase beautiful fingering weight yarns!

ive always seem more of the summery versions of the ranunculus, but the chunky one actually made me interested in it, it would fit perfectly into my closet. Well, maybe next year

Thank you!!! I'm just starting to get into sweaters and need an easy, forgiving project to build confidence! I wonder how much their sales will go up after this post...

Thanks for the inspiration Clo! 🥰

Really helpful!! I've always needed to use needles two sizes different than the pattern because I was knitting too loosely --down low on the left needle rather than in tapered area of the left needle. This video is going to be a huge help. I was struggling with why I wasn't getting the same smoothness in the fabric as other knitters and I finally know it was a tension issue and how I can fix it. Thanks so much!

Ha, I stumbled upon it the other day and ultimately decided that I had already too much patterns in my wishlist already! I hadn't noticed it was to popular. A pattern that is less insanely popular but that I'd love to see discussed is the Wild Swan shawl. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of knitting I had the honour of making, and maybe the one that taught me the most. I feel like it's less popular overall because of its technicity but it still has its popularity in the "advanced knitter" niche. Tip for pronouncing foreign names: put it in Google Translate (latin alphabet transcription works fine for other scripts) and just repeat what you hear. Sure, you'll have an accent, but that's not a huge problem in my opinion if you get the phonemes right.

I would like more videos about doing colorwork. I have tried it but found it hard to manage the yarn. I will keep trying though till I get it, so any help via tutorials or tips would be greatly appreciated!

I can’t wait o try the tip for stretching and not catching floats but I prefer to knit with both colts in left hand. It seems like it should also work. I’d really like to see some tips to carry a third color!!!

I never knew😭 been knitting 40 years~ this will definitely up my game. Thank you

I personally wouldn't knit it since its see through and could not wear it unless you have something underneath which seems to me would be too hot. I could be wrong but have not knitted it for that reason

I love this pattern! I had two different colors of the Lions Brand Summer Nights so i made one held single for summer and one held with mohair for winter. I also made one out of cotton for summer and another with mohair held double. Additionally i made one with boucle yarn that is for spring/beginning of summer since i can become a tad hot wearing it. After watching this i now would like to make another but maybe i can just gift it to someone 😀.

I have already moved up a full needle size, but still have to many stitches in 10 cm to meet the gauge (18 stitches instead of 16). I feel like the fabric is becoming to lacey if i would go up even more. Do you think I could knit a bigger size and then knit it a bit tighter then the intended gauge to end up with a sweater that fits?

I'm knitting since 2022 (after a pause of 40 years) but I could't understand that hype - perhaps I'm an anti-hype person, I'm also not torn to hyped books. This oversized and cropped style, I think, wouldn't look good on me.

Really helpful video for the lead up to me knitting my first colourwork sweater! Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your tips. I have been a knitter for 50 years and colourway knitting has been on my wish list for all of those years. Your explanations are brilliant. I'm going to give it a go feeling well armed with this video 🌻

Thank you for your frank opinions on how unsustainable the Temu model is. Their poor track record on human rights is another reason i will never buy from them.

How about showing the results at the end?

I’m getting ready to knit a seamless sweater, I think I’ll just swatch in the round. I have plenty of both yarn and time.

This is the first time I have watched one of your tutorial videos. EXCELLENT!! Very, very informative and SO well done. Clearly presented, both visually and verbally! :) Thank you!!!! I look forward to watching additional videos by you. :) :) :)

meedoree EighROEs 💀 (Midori Hirose is actually Japanese! Not french)

Excellent information, thank you both!

i have not knit a ranunculus yet but hearing about all these possibilities i really want to now

Aaah, now I know what all the fuss is about and... I can knit one like yours using one skein?? Result as I have loads of love skeins. Great video 🙏

This video was very informative. I might knit the Ranuculus

THANK YOU For the 2nd method of swatching in the round. I always swatch (and wash/block), sometimes with 2 or 3 sizes of needles, and have noticed some differences with finished item even though I'm a fairly even & consistent knitter. I'm totally guilty of the garter stitch borders on my SS swatches, geez! Because that's how my favorite yarn store does it! I love learning new things!

Unfortunately no longer free.. I have some questions regarding the sizing..

I wish I enjoyed this pattern, it sounds cool and very fun to make but I just think the design and details are just ... Ugly to me. I have never seen one of these that I thought looked good 🥲

What an excellent and simple to understand tutorial. I noticed one more thing when knitting on the tips of your needles and allowing the barrel size of your needles to determine the size of your stitches. Once the knit stitch has been made and is now on your right needle, I always place my index finger on that stitch and hold it there as I'm inserting the tip of the needle to begin the next knit stitch. It makes it less likely that you will either tighten or loosen the stitch while moving onto the next one.

Midori (she’s Japanese living in Northern Germany if I understand correctly) landed on my radar because of Ranunculus. At the time, with a kitty with claws, this open lace is a no no. I actually like other pieces better: polka dot cardi or dot dot dash. But now you have me looking at this again. Quick you say?😅 I think it was popular in the way that the Rhinebeck sweater thing was popular: you knit it so you’re in the in-group and people who know knitting and ravelry would know.

this was soooo hepful! and here I was thinking I needed to catch floats as often as possible. thank you very much.

The video is really excellent. Thank you for all this information.

I would love to see you make one. My grandma taught me how to knit, but I never got past the 2 basic stitches. Purl and... what was the other one called? I don't recall... Is it just called knit? Well, anyway... this is one sweater that has loads of character and I would love to be able to knit a bunch. The sweater behind you is interesting as well.

Oh yeah this pattern. It sure is buzzing on Telegram.

I have long wondered why this pattern is so popular. I don’t care for the really wide cropped body of the sweater. It looks way out of proportion to me, especially on the tiny models. I have a long torso and cropped sweaters are not a good look for me. I didn’t know how versatile the pattern was. Thanks for the video. I’ve been calling it the ridonculous when I’ve seen it on the hot patterns page for years. 😅

Thank you for sharing this. I just purchased this pattern. This will be my first knit sweater and I’m new at this. I’m so happy you made this video!!!

The tip that I think will help me most is measuring the stitch by making sure it's the size of the right needle before pulling it off the left. I think I tend to pull it off prematurely when the stitch is still on the tapered part of the right needle. Thanks for the tutorial!

Not in my library or my queue. Not knitted one. Not going to either. Just not my cup of tea.
