i love watching the way you knit. When I lived in Germany, everyone knit this way, but when I moved to the US, the way they knit here is to throw the yarn over, which is slower. I am going to try to knit the way you do; it looks much more efficient! Lovely, lovely sweater to be making. This is an excellent tutorial.
Thanks a lot! I’ve tried to knit this American way, but still don’t understand if there is any advantages. It’s more about the way we are used to knit I guess :)
I am from the US - I have tried to purl the way you do in the video, but I just cannot figure out how to purl! I can knit your way and I really like it. I keep working on it😉 It IS faster than English knitting.
Hi, I leave in the US . But I knit like you ,we called it combined knitting. Thanks to a German Friend , she thought me combined knitting. I was tought when I was a child to knit English style But from them on i only knit combined and will never go back. Combined knitting is fastest and I love it . Love the way you knit the sweater, but i wanted to learned to knit the arme hole differently like from top button . Which now I learned but when making designs have to calculate in the chart where to start can’t figure it out. I love to knit from buttom up seamless swearter. Maybe you can figured out?
That was astounding to watch her method of making a tubular edge for the sleeve! I’m totally using that method for my next sweater. That was brilliant!
Fabulous! I loved watching you knit just like my grandmothers taught me. They were German and Swedish. Interesting that you also pick up the stitch from the back of the needle for both the knit and purl. This is also the way that I was taught, but when I went for knitting lessons as an adult, they said I was doing it wrong and taught me a different way. Some tutorials now show “Continental” knitting, but they usually have the stitches slanted so that you go through the front of the stitch. I eventually figured it out and realized that the old way was better for me, more comfortable, and faster. It just goes to show there is no exactly “right” way, and if anyone is confused, there is a very good book called “Knitting the Old Way” that explains it all very well. That is a new way of doing an invisible cast on, it is fairly easy, and yours looks GREAT. I think I will try this method.
Thank you Jill for your comment! I was taught both ways and it's very personal how do you prefer to knit. I do both ways and even mix them if I find it more comfortable. So you're absolutely right, there is no right way, all of them right enough. We call the old one - grandma method :) enjoy your knitting!
My Aunt knitted the “Continental” method, and she could knit twice as fast as anyone knitting the English method. I think I have gotten almost as fast. The fact is that Continental method might vary between knitting flat and knitting in the round. You just have to do what works.
I have searched for this tutorial for months in every languages possible - I finally found yours and you made it so accurate - Well done, and.. thank you
This is the tutorial I have been looking for. So happy to have found your videotaped tutorials. Absolutely, I love your easy instructions to follow. Thank you for sharing your talents with us knitters. Looking forward to making gorgeous sweaters with your instructions.
thank you so very much for this tutorial I have learned so much. I have never cast on the way you do with half the stitches .. it looks so neat I will be attempting it. thank you
I've started knitting this exact patern for my sister as an upcoming Christmas gift ( she loved it when I showed it to her!) and I have to say : I was really stressed because I've never knitted a patterned sweater before and have done only one work so far involving working on four needles at a time... And yet! I've already knitted the sleeves for the sweater, all thanks to your amazing video! It was very instructive, full of useful and easy to follow tips. I can't wait to start on the second video and follow along with my own knitting
I cannot thank you enough. Ever since I first saw the lopi yarn, I have always wanted to make a Lopapeysa sweater.Your instructions in detail helped me finally make one, all I knew was knit and purl. Thank you so so much, I wish I cud send you the pic. You are just awesome, thank you again
what an easy to follow video! Thank you so much. I have knitted this type of sweater in the past. I found a pattern I want to knit for Christmas -- and I couldn't figure out how to decrease while continuing to work a patter -- its been about 30 years since I made a sweater like this! You got me started with enthusiasm! I will be watching the rest of the videos in this series so I can "regain" the knowledge of how to do this. I know its tucked away in my brain somewhere but I just can't find it!!!!!
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial on my favorite type of icelandic yoke sweater‼️ I've always wondered on how to neatly sew up the underarm, and join tbe body and sleeves to begin tbe yoke ‼️
I love the way you cast on half the sts then pick up for the increase after 3 rows of purl. Another game changer for me of 64 yrs knitting. As for the cast on ... Mum taught me to knit them on, but that leaves holes, however the way you do it with your thumb is how I do it now as it makes a neater edge.
Beautiful sweater. You do amazing work, I’m lucky I can get through finishing a pair of just knitted socks. So this is just to watch. Thank you for sharing your gift of knitting.
I watched that cast on two times. I don’t understand how it is not too tight since the beginning still only has 20 stitches. It is indeed magic! I am ready to try this on my next sweater.
I would love to see a video of you doing the cast on part of the sleeve by itself! It looks so great but I wasn’t really following what to do when when you started picking up the stitches between the waste yarn. Love this sweater.
I just knitted the first sleeve. Thank you so much for this tutorial and pattern. Without it, I would not have dared to take on a project like this. 7:24 sleeve setup 11:15 increase stitches 12:00 start color work
Thanks for the tutorial; you knit beautifully and give great instructions. At first, I could not understand how you did the sleeve edge because it went fast, but I see you have another video on your channel showing that. Love the video and glad to come across a channel that actually shows knitting not show us what they made.
Thanks for your comment! I skip some of the video parts and refer to another to avoid doubling the instructions which make video even longer :) However, I hope it's still understandable enough!
@@yuhaknitting It was still very understandable. By the way, I don't think people would mind if you post long knitting videos. It's so hard to find quality videos on youtube.
Thank you so much for sharing this information, and with so much generosity in tips! You didn’t skimp on information, and it’s much appreciated. It’s incredible.
knitting this sweater for my gramps as a christmas gift; thank you so much for explaining the hows and whats and sharing all your knowledge, i appreciate your work and i am very very grateful to you, thank you so much!
I have been wrestling on how to do all these things before starting my first colorwork cardigan and I am so grateful for finding your video. When you listed all the things your Covering I was just thrilled!!
Thank you so much!!! I will try my first Icelandic sweater soon with alafosslopi wool :) Just in case you've never tried this technique, for small diameter circle, I love using two pairs of circular needles (with shorter cables, not really short but not super long so they don't dangle to much while you're working with the second pair on the other side of the sleeve) and you knit with one pair, then turn around and knit with the other pair...etc... round and round. since I tend to have tendinitis if I knit a lot, it has been great that way as it's more fluid in the posture than with 4 or 5 double pointed needles. (I used to always use the double pointed ones, but now I just love this method ^^) thank you once again for those great videos!
Thank you for sharing this knitting knowledge. I only started knitting last year and have made a sweater ( still in pieces) , a pair of socks and a super simple shawl. I will definitely try this pattern, and it would be a great intro for me to try working with dpns and colourwork. Thank you once again and have a lovely day!
Hi...I am from India and I am in love with this type of pullovers. I will be knitting one for my self after I have clearly understood the pattern. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. Love the way you explain and how awesome you start the ribbing! I happened to find just the right wool in my stash and I‘m very excited to cast on and follow your instructions! Thank you!
Ive just started to learn knitting. You are tremendously talented. I'm indeed fascinated with your intricate knitting. This is a whole different level for me as of now, the PhD level of knitting. Will definitely try to knit your patterns in a sometime shortly 🙏. I knit the continental style, which is much faster and neater for me.
This just came across my feed and of course I subscribed..I have never seen this co before, also I am a Norwegian knitter, but I like youvpuls better..I love this tutorial. Thx from Milwaukee Wisconsin USA. 👍🧶❣
I’ve just finished watching your 3 part video on your tutorial for the Icelandic sweater, great videos. Just subbed and will be attempting to knit my first sweater. Thx and keep up the great work.
I love this style of knitting but did not know what it was called. I am not a knitter, but i will save this for when i decide to learn to knit. Thank you for this usefull information.
Dear Yuha I'm abundantly grateful for your step-by-step guidance, your knowledge sharing and comforting us new knitters ❤❤ I've completed this pattern of your icelanduc sweater, XXL size, my own measurement. Everything came out perfect except that it became oversized width wise. Can you please guide me trim this sweater. I love this sweater Knitted foe sister with full of love. Please 🙏 🙏 🙏
Funny. I've been looking for a fish sweater pattern and this video showed up in my suggestions. This is THE pattern I need !! I think I found one on etsy
Will be trying out this casting method this weekend. Will be swatching with purling the back loops as this is new for me too. Noticed that after pick up of new stitches you knit from the back loops as well. Ver well done video! Thanks a lot 😁
Thank you Eva for your comment! When I knit loops, I mainly check that they are not twisted and don´t really pay much attention whether it is back or front loop :)
@@yuhaknitting Do you know what this cast on method is called? Could you do a video showing this in detail? It looks amazing! Thanks so much for this great video.
Omg, these are so beautiful! I'm going to have a baby brother or sister soon, and to show how excited I am to my mother, I decided to knit a sweater for him or her. This was so helpful! My mom was really not happy to have another kid, but seeing me do this she got so happy, thank you so much! Ily unnie ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
wow! such exciting news! I hope you will enjoy the process and make your mom looking forward to having new member of the family! By the way, in February-March I'm planning to start with some tutorials for baby and kids clothing, maybe you will find even more projects to knit :)
I learned in Germany so watching your style was comfortable and warming like a good sweater and a cup of tea. watching other videos and knitting tutorials, I was amazed at their style but it made me think there was something wrong with my knitting. Thank you so much for this video. I followed along and despite many mistakes, I finished! I couldn't afford the fancy yarns, so I used a deep crimson, charcoal and a thin grey and beige yarn (doubled up)I had in my supply to create the contrast you demonstrated. many thanks!! 💕💕💕
I too love watching you knit. I am trying to re-train myself to knit your way as it is so much more efficient than the throw-over way I was taught as a child. Please can I make a suggestion? instead of the sped up sections where you voice-over, maybe you could do a slowed down video of you knitting the 'boring bits' while you voice over, to make it easier to watch exactly how you hold the needles and turn your hands etc.. for those of us who still have a lot to learn! Thank you so much for posting these videos. They have been a great help for me during a time of bereavement. Getting back into knitting again has given me comfort and helped me cope with my grief.
I would love another lopapeysa sweater tutorial in the same style as your balaclava tutorial--with measurements and a simple "guide" for how to calculate the number of stitches for every part! I made a balaclava so easily from your tutorial, but I can't do the same with this lopapeysa tutorial, not exactly.
Hi Alan! It is a bit more complicating because you have to consider the number of chart stitches and match it to the sleeves and yoke. The height of the yoke matters too as if you choose too thin yarn for the pattern made for thick yarn, you can end up having too short yoke. Therefore sweaters with colorwork mainly have one particular gauge.
So happy to find your video! I am making a cardigan but need to watch you do your sweater to be more confident. I am using their Plotulopi which is a one strand similar to knitting with thin roving so its my first time using this yarn. There are several Icelandic websites that sell the many different kinds of Icelandic yarn and they sell kits. They also have free patterns but they don't have the videos.
I had some problems to solve when I had knitted my first lopapeysa and there were not video explaining some details and no written instructions, that’s why I decided to make it 😊 thank you for appreciating
@@yuhaknitting My plates were not able to be drawn from the center. I did try numerous times but its been the best idea to unwind alot into a ball to work from. I just unwound it from the outside.
@@yuhaknitting Imagine knitting with thin roving and that will about sum it up. If you are not gentle as you knit it breaks. It is strong up to one inch apart so you can't loop it in fingers that regulate the tension. I found it works very well by a wrap method gently with my right hand. I am doing just fine with it but will be joining the sleeves etc using your video. Thank you!
I'm using this pattern to practice continental knitting and try out some of these techniques - never seen this cuff start done this way before, and eager to try the neck bind off as well - and I tried out unpicking the waste yarn vs cutting and it works great. So if you wanna be able to use your waste yarn again, you can just unpick the cast on stitches after you to the pick-up increases round. :)
Thank you. This is a really concise tutorial. I understand all your instructions, thanks to your clarity. I did notice that you are purling through the back loop on the increase stitches. Is that necessary? Or is it your preferred method? I’m a bit late to this knitting party however, better late than never 😊. I’m enjoying your colour choices too. Thanks again.
Love your tuturial.I am a beginner knitting I am not that good at nothing but I would love to try this patterning I am going to try. Thank you so much for you video
I’m a little confused, I noticed you are purling through the back loops instead of the front loops??? I love the effect your beginning edge technique makes. It is very clean and professional looking.
Thank you for your comment Kristie! I'm not really focused on the methods of knitting and purling here :) after casting on, I just use the side that most convenient to not twist stitches. And it depends on how do you cast on stitches at very beginning. I believe it's more about how you r used to knit :) If the difference is too obvious, please let me know!
Hi your written pattern and your video pattern are not the same I should be following the witten or the video ? so confusing and you dont mention it in the video that thier is a difference with both ? e.g increase 2 sts every 10 rounds in the video and on written pattern every 8 rounds Sleeves cast on 36 sts for Large size on video cast 42 ?? they are all different you numbers. None the less your video and explaination are great ty love the pattern. But why the difference in the written and video Pattern ???
I'm in love with this pattern and would so much like to make it! I already have the yarn and accessories, but since I have never knitted a sweater before, I have a question - why is the number of stitches to cast on different in the video from the one in the pdf pattern? Greetings from Poland!❤
Your sweaters are outstanding! The Stephan by Stephan tutorial as well! In the very beginning you turn pages in a book with the most beautiful patterns. How can I get /this book?
Thank you so much! Soon I will start your moose sweater, hopefully finished for my trip to Iceland next September! Do you wear a shirt underneath? Do these sweaters ever have turtlenecks? I can't wait to start, you are an amazing teacher.
Your cuff ribbing blew my mind! I hope I remember to try this!

I couldn't afford the fancy yarns, so I used a deep crimson, charcoal and a thin grey and beige yarn (doubled up)I had in my supply to create the contrast you demonstrated. many thanks!! 💕💕💕
Thank you so much for these videos!!
My pleasure!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I've just realised I favourited this pattern on ravelry last week!
Thanks for watching! 😊
What a lovely tutorial ❤thank you
Amazing watching your videos and had learned so much❤❤❤🙏
Beautiful sweaters. Funny colors And combination 🙌! I want to learn to knit.
Really informative and helpful 👍
Thankyou for the tutorial . It's so helpful
Absolutely gorgeous!
Amazing love fair isle designs brilliant I love it well done 👍 🇬🇧🌹🌹😊👏🏼🌹🌹❤️
Thanks a lot for the comment! :) It inspires a lot!
I too love watching you knit. I am trying to re-train myself to knit your way as it is so much more efficient than the throw-over way I was taught as a child.
Please can I make a suggestion? instead of the sped up sections where you voice-over, maybe you could do a slowed down video of you knitting the 'boring bits' while you voice over, to make it easier to watch exactly how you hold the needles and turn your hands etc..
for those of us who still have a lot to learn!
Thank you so much for posting these videos. They have been a great help for me during a time of bereavement. Getting back into knitting again has given me comfort and helped me cope with my grief.
I would love another lopapeysa sweater tutorial in the same style as your balaclava tutorial--with measurements and a simple "guide" for how to calculate the number of stitches for every part! I made a balaclava so easily from your tutorial, but I can't do the same with this lopapeysa tutorial, not exactly.
Hi Alan! It is a bit more complicating because you have to consider the number of chart stitches and match it to the sleeves and yoke. The height of the yoke matters too as if you choose too thin yarn for the pattern made for thick yarn, you can end up having too short yoke. Therefore sweaters with colorwork mainly have one particular gauge.
Я ничерта не понимаю, но хочу связать такой свитер, спасибо большое за видео
So happy to find your video! I am making a cardigan but need to watch you do your sweater to be more confident. I am using their Plotulopi which is a one strand similar to knitting with thin roving so its my first time using this yarn. There are several Icelandic websites that sell the many different kinds of Icelandic yarn and they sell kits. They also have free patterns but they don't have the videos.
I had some problems to solve when I had knitted my first lopapeysa and there were not video explaining some details and no written instructions, that’s why I decided to make it 😊 thank you for appreciating
@@yuhaknitting My plates were not able to be drawn from the center. I did try numerous times but its been the best idea to unwind alot into a ball to work from. I just unwound it from the outside.
@@romy4593 I’ve never been using Plotulopi, therefore cannot give you any tips, but I know it’s tricky to knit from it
@@yuhaknitting Imagine knitting with thin roving and that will about sum it up. If you are not gentle as you knit it breaks. It is strong up to one inch apart so you can't loop it in fingers that regulate the tension. I found it works very well by a wrap method gently with my right hand. I am doing just fine with it but will be joining the sleeves etc using your video. Thank you!
@@romy4593 I’m wondering how you going to seal the armholes 🤔 maybe you can use another yarn same color that is stronger
Watching this I start to think I can do this, yet it also scares me😂..
so happy you are using the alafoss
Wonderful to discover you!
Thank you Linda!
Amazing work!! Thank you 🙏 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Definately will knit one this winter. Thank u so much!
I'm using this pattern to practice continental knitting and try out some of these techniques - never seen this cuff start done this way before, and eager to try the neck bind off as well - and I tried out unpicking the waste yarn vs cutting and it works great. So if you wanna be able to use your waste yarn again, you can just unpick the cast on stitches after you to the pick-up increases round. :)
I do it sometimes this way too if yarn is quite thick, otherwise I’m too lazy to unpick it 😅
I'm going to buy tools and yarns for the project! Thank you so much for tutorial ♥♥♥
May i ask you how many yarn do i need?... In the pdf are some numbers of the balls... 1 ball = 100g?
Thank you for replying!
@@irinaompad9051 In the chart with colors you can see the number of yarn pieces you need to get for your size :)
Beautiful sweater! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. This is a really concise tutorial. I understand all your instructions, thanks to your clarity. I did notice that you are purling through the back loop on the increase stitches. Is that necessary? Or is it your preferred method? I’m a bit late to this knitting party however, better late than never 😊. I’m enjoying your colour choices too. Thanks again.
Love your tuturial.I am a beginner knitting I am not that good at nothing but I would love to try this patterning I am going to try. Thank you so much for you video
What a tidy cuff ❤
Hello and thanks so much for your tutorial !
I am not able to find the info referring to how much yarn from each color I should get.
Can you make a video tutorial for knitting in the circle for this similar sweater in the whale design? That would be awesome!
Beautiful work. I would never be able to do this.
Thank you for this tutorial!!
I had a hand knitted lips or look sweater back in the 1970s when it became first popular as a fashion garment
I love this tutorial. thank you so much!!
This is so cool! I'll admit, I still don't understand how you did all of that but I really wanna make a sweater and this looks so comfy!
what a beautiful video!
I’m a little confused, I noticed you are purling through the back loops instead of the front loops???
I love the effect your beginning edge technique makes. It is very clean and professional looking.
Thank you for your comment Kristie! I'm not really focused on the methods of knitting and purling here :) after casting on, I just use the side that most convenient to not twist stitches. And it depends on how do you cast on stitches at very beginning. I believe it's more about how you r used to knit :) If the difference is too obvious, please let me know!
Очень красиво!👍🏻💐
Hi your written pattern and your video pattern are not the same I should be following the witten or the video ? so confusing and you dont mention it in the video that thier is a difference with both ? e.g increase 2 sts every 10 rounds in the video and on written pattern every 8 rounds Sleeves cast on 36 sts for Large size on video cast 42 ?? they are all different you numbers. None the less your video and explaination are great ty love the pattern. But why the difference in the written and video Pattern ???
I'm in love with this pattern and would so much like to make it! I already have the yarn and accessories, but since I have never knitted a sweater before, I have a question - why is the number of stitches to cast on different in the video from the one in the pdf pattern? Greetings from Poland!❤
This is just amazing !!!!!!
Waiting for next video 👍
Part 2 is already in the list! Enjoy! :)
I’m not sure how the blue stayed together when you cut the yellow thread out. Can you explain that please?
Your sweaters are outstanding! The Stephan by Stephan tutorial as well! In the very beginning you turn pages in a book with the most beautiful patterns. How can I get /this book?
This is just AWESOME. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Soon I will start your moose sweater, hopefully finished for my trip to Iceland next September! Do you wear a shirt underneath? Do these sweaters ever have turtlenecks? I can't wait to start, you are an amazing teacher.
