Challenge: Can I Knit A Sweater in 24 Hours? #knitwithkika #knittingchallenge
Happy New Year 2022! This is the first video of the new year and what better way to kick off the new year than with an epic knitting challenge!
I decided to try to knit a sweater from start to finish in only 24 hours, and what a journey it was...
Follow along on this intense knitting challenge as I share my process of designing the sweater from scratch and the choices and decision I take to turn my vision into a reality...plus some struggles and challenges along the way when things don't go as planned.
I'd love to know what your thoughts were on this video and if this is something you'd like to see more of? 😀
I hope you enjoyed this video!

I really enjoyed the rawness of this video filming. Finishing a sweater in 40-50 hours is really impressive. Great job, and I hope to see more videos like this one.
Your’s is a beautiful video, you are imaginative & gentle; wishing a bright & beautiful journey…
Have you tried making "cowboy" coffee? When I went camping with my husband, I boiled water with some grounds of coffee for a few minutes, then I took the pot off from the fire and let the water calm down and let the grounds settle to the bottom. Pour the coffee slowly into a mug. It turned out great!
That's the way my Mother always made coffee when I was growing up.
I love the sweater! It looks gorgeous. I think it would be a good video idea to teach how to knit the lace stitches. I have been watching your knitting videos and I love them all. But this is my favourite. Sending love and wishes for 2022. 😘❤️
I think it is my favorite too!would love to makes One for myself
I agree 👍 💯 teach us how to do it..
I love how the decreases at the sleeves look! And I‘m so exited about your book. Can‘t wait to see it 🥳
I was going to say the same thing! The sleeve details are SO lovely!
This was SO FUN to watch. Loved every minute of it! Good lighting or not this was one of my favorites of yours. Thank you for doing this. The sweater is BEAUTY- FULLLLLL!!! Yes, I want to see more !!!
Im sooooo in love with your white double collar sweater that you wore with the overall at the beginning!!! Can you please make an instruction/tutorial video about that one!!?? Thank you so muchh 💖💖
Yes. I search a video with the tutorial for the sweater in the beginning of this video, too. Please some tutorials for easy knitting sweaters for beginner’s 😅😊
Loved the more intimate talkative style of this video! Felt like we were friends getting updates on your knitting progress as it happened. Also would love to her you speak some finnish in one (or more) of your videos sometime! Even if its just a word or a phrase here and there I know I would like that :) . As always I loved this video of yours, so excited for your book as well! I will be first in line to buy a copy!
Yay thank you so micj for watching and for your encouraging words, it’s so valuable to hear feedback like this 🥰 and haha yes I’ll make a note of it and make sure to include some more finnish in my vids 😀
Your knitting videos are so addictive, it's almost 12am in the UK right now and I'm watching this video! 😁 Edited to say that I can't wait for your book!
I am excited in anticipating the release of this pattern. It was fun coming along on this knitting ride!
i'm doing a similar challenge for myself! I've always wanted to do a sweater, but have been too scared to start one because i know it's a long project and I usually gravitate towards shorter ones. I started a crochet cardigan a 3 days ago and i've already completed the front 2 panels. I'm currently working on the back panel after a day's rest for my hand that was too sore to do much yesterday. I have the sleeves, pockets, and collar pieces left after this! I'm very nervous but totally sticking to my guns :) I'm glad you posted this it helped keep my motivation high! Happy New Year Kika.
it's also comforting and validating somehow to see u go back and make changes in your design, bc it didn't quite fit how you wanted - that's always the most frustrating part of a creative process for me. it's nice to see your entire knitting process (and i'm knitting right now! knitting along with your video)
I love the realness and rawness of this video. Vlogstyle. If you feel up to it, make this a returning thing every season 😉. And see how much progress you get.
That is so valuable to hear, thank you for the comment and feedback. Yeah I really enjoyed this vlog/ follow along format and I think I’ll definitely do more of these in the future 😍
The finished sweater is so beautiful, I’m looking forward to your book being released.
I’m also feeling inspired to see if I can knit a sweater in 24/48 hours too ☺️
I love how your jumper came out and was well impressed it took 50 hours!
I can't knit at all but love watching you!!! And, of course, you are so cute!!! Sweet video, really enjoyed, fun and adore the cats too!!!! xxx
I'm glad you started the bottom over. Your new sweater looks beautiful! :)
That was an insane challenge! I don’t think I could stay awake and knit/crochet for 24 hours straight. I enjoyed seeing your process. 💕
I loved this! Please release the pattern! I can't wait for your book 😊 I'd love to see a detailed video about how to lace
Great job! Yay, you did it!! Great perseverance there. I need some of that!!
I just found you and watched this WONDERFUL video!!!!! Immediately subscribed and will begin watching your other videos. This sweater is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Can’t wait for the pattern!!!!!!!! Love your enthusiasm and humor!!!
Extreme knitting! I was terribly impressed by your ability to problem solve things that weren't going as planned while exhausted. The end result was beautiful.
You are amazing, thank you for such an honest video of some of what's involved in designing and knitting a new jumper design. Kindest regards from N lreland
You hooked me and got me to subscribe! Great sweater.. I never thought to knit in the sauna.. I would of thought it would effect the wool.
Such a beautiful and lacy look on top and oh so pretty on you!!! I am not a knitter but I want to be. I am scared of trying because I am not very good in math. I am sure it takes a lot of calculations to do a sweater like that. You looked so happy knitting and you fur babies are beautiful! You are just a joy to watch as you knit! Ginger in Colorado USA
What a fun video! I am so inspired by your sweaters. I absolutely adore the way you did those sleeves as well!
I love that you do crazy undertakings like this or knitting your wedding dress. My personality is similar: when you're in it, you ask yourself why do you do this to yourself but at the end it's worth the challenge. Loved it.
So frustrating. I want to make a sweater, but you are teaching me that it's not so simple. I think I'll start with something simple. Simple for me is probably plain. You do beautiful work, but you know how to correct your mistakes, or change the design. I am not there yet, but appreciate that you show all the stages of your creative endeavors. It shows me a lot about the process. Makes me less afraid of it. Thanks for showing it all.
This sweater turned out soooo beautiful! I dislike frogging, but that really was the best option in this instance because it turned out great in the end!
I loved this video Kika! I've only just discovered your channel and I've been busy binge watching it all. Your energy and creativity is so infectious, I just can't help smiling while I watch your videos. I wanted to soak myself in creativity for the start of 2022 and finding your channel has enabled me to really get immersed in all things creative. Thankyou for being such a wonderful human being xx
I love watching you, you are such a bright sun shiney person. Keep up the fantastic work.
I cannot wait for your book! I just discovered you, and already want to make 2 of your designs! keep up with the great work! love the challenge videos. I love to quantify too.... you are a total inspiration!
Can I just say I'm so excited about your book. I love so many of your sweaters. Only downside is I don't make many sweaters because I live in a very hot climate. I'd love some summer top videos!
That was awesome 👏 it’s a great sweater!!
Fun,fun,fun I really enjoyed this podcast. It’s so hard to knit a sweater in a week so in 24 hours, so difficult. Loved the snow! I live in hot Texas where snow rarely falls.
Fun video! I have never challenged myself to a full 24 hour knitting marathon but have occasionally decided to stay up and knit all night just to sew how far I could get. 🙃 so my last half (12 hour) marathon was 12/22/20 and I finished 6 pairs of mittens and 3 hats.
Love your sweater design and look forward to the release.
Loved this video. A marathon knit isn’t pretty.
When I design knitwear, I often rip out because my vision doesn’t always look the same in reality. It’s part of the creative process.
A tip when pulling your project off the needles to rip out. Use a full mm size smaller needle to pick up your stitches and then knit off that needle using the correct needle size. The needle that you knit onto set the gauge of the stitch.
You might already know this, but I thought I’d share.
I really like how the sweater turned out. Glad you took out the ribbing. Enjoyed the challenge. 👍🏻
What a fun video!
What a beautiful sweater! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
hey i haven't quite finished the video yet, but i just wanted to say - i really love your videos! i love how chirpy and vibrant you are, and i loved the gorgeous shots of the snowy landscape in this video. i saw u wearing this sweater in another video, and i wanted to ask for the pattern - to my grief (and a testament to your skill), i've now learned that you made the pattern! it's beautiful
I'm in love with your knitting video! You are a sunshine in the TH-cam game 🌞☺️
Your sweater is really nice! Great design 👏👏👏💕
Happy New Year. This would be an easy challenge for me since I only sleep three hours a night. No naps. Bedtime is 2:30 and wake up at 5:30. No snooze alarm on dogs that need to go out or hungry cats . I crochet at least 14 hours a day so I think I’d be fine with a 24 hour crochet challenge. 😂🧶🧶🧶 Your sweater is beautiful. I think if you just made a knit / purl style you would have finished. I knit my boyfriend a sweater vest in 20 hours.
Wow I envy you, I wish I could knit for 14 hours a day 😍 I haven’t made any crochet projects in a long time but really feel like it 😀 and yes, I also think if I would’ve done a sinple purl or stockinette stitch sweater I could’ve finished in 24 hours 🤞🏼🧐
This is awesome! The sweater is so beautiful! Great job! If I were to ever to take the challenge I'd still be in the ribbing of sweater! 😂 You did such a wonderful job! 🙏
I love the sleeve increase/decrease detail. Very impressive and the yoke is stunning🥰👍🏼
So funny 😂👍 I have just found you, but I really want to see more 🥰
This sweater is so beautiful, I really love it 😍 Well done 💪
Hi! 10 years ago I stayed 3months in Finland for an Erasmus and I loved the knit in sauna idea!!!
Sooo much fun to watch - I could have not done the 24 hour thing without falling asleep. And you started late in the day! Yes please, more of those.
Can't wait for your book.
Oh the sleeve decreases are such works of art!
omg i love this pattern ... cannot wait for the book!
What a beautiful sweater. I'm looking forward to the book. You are an inspiration.
Wow! That is so so pretty and I loved how you finished it off.
For the sore finger problem: you can buy silicone “finger cots” online. I use them with plain bandages, because I’m allergic to adhesive. But they are often used for people who need a little bit of a padding on a joint or a fingertip. They’re completely washable and reusable, and if you need them to go over a joint, you just trim the end. They come several to a package and in various sizes.
Loved this video - and will definitely try your challenge!
Hi! I just stumbled on your account and I'm enamored! Your knitting tips video came first, but this one really sold me. Your bright energy and joyful personality is so comforting, and I love the inventiveness of your designs, which is really inspiring me to try designing my own patterns! My partner and I learned to knit just last summer, and we've both taken to it so quickly & have found a great passion in the craft. I'm so excited to watch more of your videos; both your approach and general sunny, genuine vibe is so energizing : -) I feel recharged in my own projects already!
This was so much fun to watch! You had an added degree of difficulty with working out a new pattern too, but the finished project is absolutely beautiful! I love that it isn’t a cropped sweater. They seem very in now, but I was around for the first iteration of crop tops in the 80s, so my middle aged body doesn’t handle that style as well as it used to.😂
Stunning 😍. Really enjoyed watching the process. 😊
Viggo is such a beautiful cat! Really great looking sweater too. :)
I loved you video so much- you showed exactly how knitting is! We knitters always try to find stolen moments with artificial light when we need to! I have never thought to do this kind of challenge but it seems really fun and I think I'll try it one day. Your sweater is absolutely gorgeous!!
I stumbled across your podcast this morning. What fun, watching you attempt the 24 hour sweater. I think you did amazing. Loved seeing the countryside and the peacefulness of the snow. Thank you so much for brightening the morning. i will be binge watching your previous podcasts for the rest of my day. xx
Well done! I love your finished jumper. I knitted a simple vanilla sweater in 15 days and I thought that was quick! You did so well 👏👏
Oh my goodness, I absolutely love the finished result! It's so pretty. 💕
Милая Кика! Вы замечательная и у Вас золотые руки. Всех благ Вам и удачи. Берегите себя ❤
This sweater is absolutely beautiful!! I cannot wait for your book to come out!
you knit fast anyway, gorgeous sweater; it used to take me a month to make a jumper/sweater; for the challenge you could've just knit a plain sweater, we would still love it; thanx so much for sharing
I loved this video so much! I don't even mind that it was artificially lit a lot, I'm here for the wholesome and happy vibes, the lighting isn't the most important thing for me 😁 Keep making these awesome videos!
Such a fun experiment!! It taught us a lot, about knitting, designing process but also about how lack of sleep affects us and how loyal boyfriends can be 😉
Yes haha! 😂😍
This sweater is absolutely gorgeous! And the video was so fun and entertaining!
I looooove this video! Great work! You inspired me to start knitting :)
Well done 🥳! Amazing work 👏👏👏! I'm a beginner knitter, so your challenge was very inspiring! Looking forward to your book being released 💞.
How fun! I still found this very visually pleasing in a different way. I was skeptical if I’d like that pattern but it came together really well.
Hola Kika! I've been watching your video playlists while I do some gift knitting myself. I really appreciate that even though you jump on board with these challenges, you keep it really real and show us what is possible and realistic for you to do. I am in my infancy stages of garment knitting so anything less than a week to finish a sweater is amazing. Nevertheless, I love watching your videos! Thanks for sharing!
I loved watching you knit this! I love the sweater and hope you might publish the pattern one of these days? It is gorgeous!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey while making this sweater! :) It was so unjoyable to watch and knit with you. It turned out so beautiful and feminine! I'm so excited to see your patterns when your book is released. :)
Dear Kika, I watched this video last night and I think you were really brave to set yourself in such a challenge. Well done!!! The jumper is really nice and you're very delightful to listen and watch. Happy new year! 🌹
Thank you so much Ciara and happy new year! ✨🥰
It was so so fun. And I really admired your great patience and oh!!! Envied how fast you clicked away with your fingers. And oh poor me... I m not able to work with no pattern, explanations, etc. Well done. Beautiful. Looking forward to your new project.
Loved this video and especially the finished project. I can't wait for your book
Very beautiful and flattering sweater - looks awesome!
I really enjoyed watching this video. It came out beautiful !🤩
I’m SO impressed dear Kika… just love the lace design.. I take SO long to knit a sweater… you are very inspiring!
It's absolutely beautiful! I love the split hem.
Fabulous solution for the hems, love the design.
Wow! Very impressive, that is die hard knitting, the sweater is gorgeous.
Totally gorgeous and just love your ability to make changes along the way. Looking forward to your book and will definitely want to knit this sweater. Thank you for sharing with the world 🌻🌼🌞
What a refreshing knit video! So fun.
I loved this video Kika! Would you consider doing a WIPs challenge or a week of WIPs? I'd love to see you finish things you've been working on for a while x
Wonderful sweater and to see coming it together so quickly was so much fun to watch.
This is such a lovely jumper. I look forward to your book being published.
Loved this video too, really nice to see the time it takes to progress through a sweater even for an experienced knitter. Although I know it’s about the process and enjoying the peacefulness I often feel like it’s not going fast enough.
Yay!!!! I was hoping you started making knitting videos. Please more knitting maybe crocheting tutorials. 🥰
Wow this sweater is gorgeous... can't wait for the pattern..... bravo...
Hey Kika, I love this video, and the jumper. It was really cool how you adjusted the pattern when it wasn’t what you had hoped it would be, I found that very inspiring. Can’t wait until your book comes out!
Wow, it’s beautiful
Awesome video. I loved your process. Marathon knitting isn't advised for prolonged success, but I love the finished product. Thank you for sharing your skill and designs with us. I love the extra shots of your life, scenery and kitty. God bless and good health. I
The sweater is so beautiful. You are so skilled!🧶🤍
So beautiful! I can't wait for your book! Great job.
I love your sweater!! Thank you for sharing the beauty of the snow and your Family.
You make me smile! And, Finland is so beautiful.
Loved this !! Fun and what a fantastic design you compleated ! 🤗🥳
Hooray I love your video. I also love your little furry helpers too I know mine tries to help me she helps me learn how to do dropPed stitches... Her specialty. This has been a really fun and entertaining video and what a great idea trying to do a sweater in 24 hours. Very enjoyable watching you thank you. Be safe and be well. I subscribed 👍😆😺
Wouah!!! Fantastique challenge !! Your sweater is so beautiful ! I love it 💞😍😍
These videos make me feel so cosy. Just discovered your channel and absolutely in love.
I loved watching your process! The sweater is gorgeous!
