I would just like to say that I started this without doing a gauge swatch, used the wrong size needles, and held two random yarns together to make this. I was perfectly on gauge. I had nowhere else to flex this so that is all.
Just finished this and wore it to school today! It's my first knit project that has turned out good enough to wear that I haven't gifted to someone else. Feeling super proud. Thanks for this great tutorial and the free pattern!!!!
thank you for your videos! I feel like you’re the only one who does simple tutorials with thorough and visual instructions, I recently did your tutorial for the chicly knit sweater and it came out amazing and now i’m moving on to this one 🙌🏼 can’t wait to see the outcome I know it will be great, thanks again
Thanks Ashley! Your teaching is so detailed, You're most awesome and thoughtful teacher on youtube. You speak so clearly and have an excellent demonstration in every part of the work.
OMG this took me forever. My first time knitting. Used a different gauge, it was so wrong. Then I started over, with a 4mm yarn and needle. It looks amazing, so elegant. I’m so proud. And very thankful of you fpr explaining literally every move. Thank you so much!!!
just finished the sweater using mostly yarn i got from the thrift store. it turned out so beautiful! thank you so much for this pattern. it’s my first ever sweater so i’m really proud of it 😄😊😅
I've always wanted to learn how to #knit a #knittedvest, and your #knitutorial is the "ABSOLUTE BEST" tutorial I've ever seen. I've understood everything "PERFECTLY." I now have the courage to try to #knit without fear. Thank you...✨️ 🫶🏻 ✨️
I want to say that you're not only a superstar for sharing this pattern but the video just made you a superhero! Thank you so much for sharing the love of knitting and inspiring me
So excited, I have been looking for a pattern exactly like this! I am working on my first sweater right now, your Hillside Cardigan, and I am finding it so much fun and not difficult, even though I am only and advanced beginner. Thank you for such clear instructions!
Thank you Ashley for this tutorial, I've knit quite a few hats and mittens but I've never felt I could graduate to sweaters or even vests due to the piecing together of the parts and also the commitment. This pattern looks like something I could perhaps manage so I will be keeping my eye out for some yarn I suppose to try this. Thank you so much in advance. I like that it's a bigger yarn that you used because it's important when a person is trying a project they feel they will complete it eventually, so this looks like it could build my confidence in moving past making hats hehehe.
Ashley. Thanks so much! 😁 I just completed this vest, and it was my first time knitting a garment!!!! (hats and scarfs for 3 months) It took me 3 days, I used Drops Snow in marshmallow and it took 5.5 balls of 50g. Now I want to do your super chunky cardigan 😀✨ I'm so excited! 😀✨😀✨ Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video this was my first project getting back into knitting after about 12 years, I learned a ton and was able to make my first sweater!
I learned so much! I am in the process of making a top like this for the first time and had reached the point of the neck and shoulder shaping and didn't really know how to go forward until I saw your video. Thank you so much.
Ashley, this tutorial is awsome! You explain every single detail. Thanks a lot for sharing. I´m using your tips for my knitted vest (not round needles but the straight ones. Sorry, I don´t how to name them in english). You´re a great teacher. You speak in the perfect speed to me to understand you amazingly well. 🙏😘
Thank you so much for this well taught video ! I've known how to knit since I was a child but never started working with patterns until last year. I've been using TH-cam to teach myself how to follow patterns and your tutorial is absolutely the BEST! I have my first vest!
Hi Ashley! I need to thank you so much because with your simple designs even beginner knitters like me can really understand how knitted garments are constructed, learn so many new techniques and still have many beautiful pieces! I love love love this vest and I made it for my sister as a really appreciated Christmas gift and I'm also making your raglan sweater, just for myself this time, as my first ever raglan project! Again, so simple but so much fun and I'm learning a lot, seriously! Thank you so very much, you're making our beginner-knitters life so enjoyable💕
Wow you make it look easy. Thank you for explaining everything. I’m a beginner knitter and I have learned so much from this video alone. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more of your videos.
@@AshleyLillisKnits I tried to download the pattern but it wouldn’t. So I tried to send it to my email to print later but it wouldn’t. Tried again to download the pattern but your website will not let me.
I just finished it and I'm immediatly wearing it! It's my first ever knitted clothing item and it turned out so great! I made it completely out of yarn fron the thrift store, so it's also very affordable😁
I really enjoy your pattern. It is my first garment and the pattern was really easy to follow. In my case, I needed to use a stretchy bo because it wouldn't fit though my head. Thank you.
So, so excited! I’m about halfway through and this is my first in the round attempt (I’ve been flat knitting for about 10 years and was always too scared to do in the round)! Really happy with it so far, thank you ❤

Thanks for the pattern! I assume you recorded the video on the go while figuring it out. It might be worth mentioning that the written pattern is different from what's described in the video, specifically for the size 3 you mentioned.
Just finished this vest for my daughter. It came out just like yours. Perfect size. Thank you for the pattern with video. This is out my second vest and this is the only one that fits. My previous one somehow grew from medium to 2 xL. So happy I found your channel. Your patterns are so awesome and your videos help greatly improve my beginner knitting skills.
I'm so close to finishing this!! It's my first ever knit project and I learnt so much from it, currently on the armhole ribbing and I can't wait to block and wear it!! Thank you so much for an awesome easy pattern!!
I started knitting a few months ago and stumbled across this tutorial early on, saving it for when I felt ready. I started it a few days ago and just finished tonight. I’m incredibly proud! It’s beautiful! Thank you for a clear tutorial. It was a joy to watch you knit this an you made it accessible for me to knit, too.
My southern coastline sweater uses short row shaping! www.ashleylillis.com/blog/2021/3/18/top-down-sweater-knitting-pattern-the-southern-coastline-pullover
I never understood in other patterns what a right-leaning and left-leaning decrease was. That you just have to knit or purl one from the front and one from the back is something that never came to mind for me. Thank you for explaining and showing it so easily, everyone else is making it so complicated smh
Hello! I hope you might see this - first of all THANK YOU for this free pattern and tutorial ✨ I am a complete beginner and I think this has sparked a new hobby! I've been non-stop knitting! My question is... I've knitted the collar, but I now see that I picked up the stitches from inconsistent rows... I've done the right sleeve and it's much better. My OCD is telling me I should re-do it! Can I unravel the collar and do it again iwthout disrupting the front/backsides?
Hey, absolutely adore this and really want to make it! However is it possible to make it with 8mm needles and 8mm gauge yarn? Any tips on how I would do this? Thank you I’m advanced!
Ashley, I really love this pattern. I want to knit it in worsted weight yarn. I know you have a video that shows how to knit a sweater in a different yarn and how to figure out the different cast on stitches. Could you tell me which video it is. I can't seem to find it. Also, after I figure out the different cast on stitches do I just follow the rest of the pattern for the size I want? Not exactly sure what to do. Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it!!!
Hi Ashley ! I’ve knitted two of your patterns and loved them and have downloaded several others to do, and how easy they are to knit with your instructions, do you have any plain crew neck jumper patterns for men. I would appreciate if you have. I would like to do some for my husband. Many thanks
Gosh I hope I bought enough yarn 😅 probably also shouldnt be my first knitting project but I've been trying for YEARS so if you can teach me, you can teach anyone
Hi! Thanks for your amazing tutorials. How would you adjust this for a man? I am thinking slightly thinner edges and longer body. Any advice is very welcomed :)!
hi there! You're knitting on circular needles so the work will seem smaller! If you met gauge and cast on the number of stitches for the finished size you'd like, it should work out to be the same measurements once you get knitting.
Hi Ashley! I just have a question. I'm at the point where I am working the back, and I've followed the instructions and counted my stitches three times, but for some reason when I go to count the stitches I need to put on hold it's not the correct amount! Would you have any insight into why this might be happening? 😣
hii i just did a gauge swatch with my yarn and i ended up with 14 rows and 11 stitches in 10cm while your pattern says it should be 13 rows and 10 stitches. will this be a problem? if i switch to a 1mm smaller needle would that fix the difference or would it end up being too small then. please help! i have no experience
You should be fine with that gauge understanding that the sweater might come out a tad bigger. You can always go down a sweater size too…. Yes, other option is to go down needle size to 8mm!
@@AshleyLillisKnits I came back to say thank you so, so much for this great tutorial! I just finished my first vest and I'm really so happy with the result! Keep up the great work 🙏👍❤️
I’m making this vest, what needles are you using for the neck? My needle set has tips that are too long to make a 16” are your needles fixed? If so where can I get them? BTW I’m making your Fall bluff sweater too… love your videos!
I just discovered you today. This is the type of common sense knitting info I've been looking for, since I'm a new knitter. I want to make the body length of this sweater longer, so that it covers the high hip. Can I assume that I would add the appropriate number of rows (on front & back obviously) between the ribbed waistband...and the armpit decreases to accomplish this longer length?? OR...do you have another pattern that is longer by design? Again, being new, I'm not sure how much I can play with the original pattern. The pattern indicates 3-5" of ease, based on the bust circumference being the chosen size. A bust measurement doesn't work if you're "hippy". Does that 5" ease include the waistband? If I chose a larger size, not for bust, but for hip coverage...seems like that would throw the upper pattern out of whack. How would you work out some of the ease up top...dropping stitches?? I don't even know where to start with this. My background is sewing & tailoring clothing, so it's easy for me to change literally every feature of a garment. Yarn, however, terrifies me!! :-) Thanks so much!
so glad the video is helpful! I would just play around with adding length to the body (the section above the ribbing) and see how that works out for you! Feel free to check out my website with all of my designs! ashleylillis.com
So I did 13 rows of 10 stitches in stockinette and it turned out as 3/3” but I’m really set on using this yarn (it’s pretty stretchy and I like the way it looks+I really want it to be more lightweight) I’m really new to making clothes and I’m about average in size. What would you recommend I do? I really hope this isn’t an annoying question lol
Hi there! You’d have to make the fronts and back separately and then seam the side together if you want to knit or straight needles. You’ll need circular needles for the ribbing though!
Unfortunately you can’t knit in the round on straight needles but you could modify this pattern to knit the front and back separately and then sew it together!
I'm looking for a knit vest pattern for a 4 and 7 year old. I'm finding it so hard to find a beginner friendly pattern for children's wear. Help please? 😅
I would just like to say that I started this without doing a gauge swatch, used the wrong size needles, and held two random yarns together to make this. I was perfectly on gauge. I had nowhere else to flex this so that is all.
Haha! Yes, I love it…. That’s amazing. So fabulous when that happens right?!
I did the same thing!!

So I did 13 rows of 10 stitches in stockinette and it turned out as 3/3” but I’m really set on using this yarn (it’s pretty stretchy and I like the way it looks+I really want it to be more lightweight) I’m really new to making clothes and I’m about average in size. What would you recommend I do? I really hope this isn’t an annoying question lol
Idk if it helps but I’m 35” for the bust, roughly 12.5” for the length (idk if I measured right tho), and about 8” for the armholes.
Can I make this with straight needles?
Hi there! You’d have to make the fronts and back separately and then seam the side together if you want to knit or straight needles. You’ll need circular needles for the ribbing though!
Thanks ❤️
is it knitted from bottom up ?
can i use straight needles? i badly wanna try this but i don't have a circular needles and i'm also too lazy to buy one T^T
Unfortunately you can’t knit in the round on straight needles but you could modify this pattern to knit the front and back separately and then sew it together!
Hi I'm beginner knitter I hv o doubt that can this be fitted to gents because I want to knit a sweater to my 20year old son pl reply tq
I'm looking for a knit vest pattern for a 4 and 7 year old. I'm finding it so hard to find a beginner friendly pattern for children's wear. Help please? 😅
nice chen
Would you need to change anything for a male version?! Apart from size?
You would likely need to adjust body length and armhole depth!
Thanks - and 700 grammes of wool?

Hi there! The link is in the video description!
