- Do you have a favourite sweater, maybe one you've been eyeing at the shops for a long time, but you don't want to spend that money on it when you can knit it for free?*
Maybe for you, it's the time of knitting a sweater for the first time?
I've gotchu~ Here's a guide on how I recreated my favorite sweater, and how you can too!
in this combined knitting vlog & tutorial (or loose guide on how to knit), I will be going through the basics, and every step I take to make this sweater happen, including a lot of difficult-sounding maths that really isn't that hard, but will make you feel real smart once you've calculated and knit your own sweater!
*knitter math, but the yarn was already in my stash, sooo
🌸How To Calculate Your Sweater🌸
After knitting your gauge swats, and blocking it, find how many stitches & rows you have over 10cm/4", and write this down.
I will use my gauge & measurements as example.
My gauge swatch = 18 stitches over 27 rows.
My finished measurement for the top, measured across front = 56 cm
My finished sleeve length = 46 cm
For calculating your amount of stitches to cast on, divide your stitch count by 10 to find out how many stitches per centimeter you get.
18/10 = 1.8
Multiply this by how wide you want your finished piece to be.
56 * 1.8 = 100.8 = 101
(as we can't knit .8 of a stitch)
Since this is measured across the front, we need to double it to get the final stitch count.
(101*2 = 202)
For calculating the amount of rows to knit, divide your row count by 10 to see how many rows per centimeter you get.
27/10 = 2.7
Multiply this by how long you want the finished piece to be.
46*2.7 = 124.2 =124

What favourite sweater would you like to recreate? 🧶💕
wow it looks amazing! thanks so much for sharing your process on this! i'm crocheting a cardigan atm, but now i can say i've found my next big project. i'm thinking it'd look lovely with black body & grey + purple striping. 💜
Thank you so much! black+grey+purple would look STUNNING, I hope you make & love it! ♥
This turned out so cute! ❤ its even better than the inspiration photo in my opinion. It looks super cozy too! I'm planning on knitting my own improvised band merch cardigan eventually. Hoping to order the yarn some time this year 😊
Thank you so much! it *is* super cozy, I'm still over the moon haha!
Ohh, that sounds amazing! I hope you can get the yarn so you can start :D
Wow I think watching you might of fixed my problems just starting out knitting. I tried for several hours a couple days ago and kept on getting too tight and wanting to burn my bamboo needles I have and watching you do your knit and purl... I honestly think I can try it again. Might give it a few days til I try my hand again, but wow I think I figured out why things didn't work and my stitches kept on getting tighter and tighter. You go into the stitch from the right, but every single thing I saw (other videos and a book suggested by a ton of people) said to go into the stitch from the left (I'm right handed like you). And to me that might be where I'm going wrong. Thank goodness I have my needle. If things work out, then my next step is finding the right circular needle set to buy. Which is so hard. Thought of amazon for cheap but I don't know if they would work w wrong cord sizes or I should get a set from Knitters Pride for like 70 USD. But I'm so glad I watched this video. Thank you so much. Even hubs was shocked that you made it look so much easier than other videos he watched to try to help me out.
omggg I'm so so glad it helped you! I hope it works out for you when you try knitting! (and tell your hubby thanks too! x) )
For circulars, I recommend looking at needles with a soft cord. I like Addi a lot, they're a bit on the cheaper side. I wouldn't buy a whole set of interchangeable circulars before knowing I *really* like knitting, but I also wouldn't recommend getting really cheap needles, because nothing kills the fun like an unruly cable or a bad join between the needle and cable that catches the yarn ^^'
but again, thank you so much, I'm so glad I could help! ❤️
@@Shaiyeh I'll look into addi more and thank you. I'll keep that info in mind when I look. I know a few places that sell Addi needles pretty decently. Again thank you. Can't wait to try it out again!
@@Shaiyeh Hubby here :D! You seriously have no idea how much mind blowing info you shared with your tutorial here, We legit were shocked at how much more simple it was, You legit put that Spark back into my wife's eye and i really hope because of you, This will be the saving grace to get her motivated to try Knitting again, Def holding out because she has been prepping this for like 6+ months! Love your content btw, Both of us do :D! Keep doing you girl! And thank you again for helping my wife!
@@lilyvanet I'm glad I could help! best of luck with your future knitting adventures! ❤
@@xelrielxen9279 Naw, thank you so much! 🌸 I'm just so happy I could help! :D
