Love it! Jenna, the stitches you dropped for the distressed look will continue to "run" unless you somehow secure them to the row below. I know you wanted a hole and not a full on unravelling. Your sweater is WONDERFUL!!
Yes! She could also do a combo of ssk and yo to make holes without any laddering or unraveling. I think that might be how the holes she showed were created (could be wrong, the image was hard for me to see).
@@UnsolicitedThoughtsOfARose it's hard to see in very large stitches like this but i'm pretty sure the original sweater didn't have a yo/ssk hole but actually a dropped stitch/ladder the technique i've seen before for it is yo where you want your stitch to stop falling, (mark the new stitch so you don't accidentally drop its neighbour), knit normally until you reach where your stitch should start dropping, get the stitch off your needle and watch it unravel until the yo.
I’ve legit been searching for a tutorial for this exact type of (diy fishnet like) knit for half a year now and couldn’t find anything as easy and comprehensible as your video!! Thank you so much for this!! Your sweater turned out absolutely stunning!!
Drop stitching is actually a thing! But you could add a yarn over and knit a few rows, then drop the stitch that is in the row of the yarn over. That will give you control over your drop stitches! I searched for bubble knit technique and learned it there
For your balaclavas, that kind of wonky stitching can even itself out if you block! AKA depending on the yarn washing instructions hand wash in the sink and wring the water out with a towel and then lay it flat to dry, it works miracles for uneven tension
I like it buuuut Jenna did you secure the drop stitch because if you didn't it will keep unraveling. But since it is 100% wool it might not unravel easily. Get a drop of water felt up that drop stitch to the inside of sweater or somehow tie it down so it doesn't keep dropping. I hope it doesn't move much because it looks like roving yarn and that is usually a little sticky to itself. TIP. If you want a drop stitch knit two together and make make a yarn over to replace that stitch . When you knit back you have a hole. Also if you want a large hole you yarn over twice and when knitting back knit into the double yarn over creating a large hole. Either way it look great and interesting. Maybe u would use needle bigger than yarn but not too big of the stitches like you did for a nice lacy top for the summer over sport bra etc
Jenna!! You've inspired me to try to crochet a sweater without a pattern! I've never made a sweater before and I've been crocheting for a month! (I've made 2 hats and a very wonky blanket lol.)
I used this video to make a very over the top pink, purple, and orange sweater for my 6 year old. It turned out beautifully and she is going to be obsessed. Thank you!
After watching hours and hours of your vids im pretty sure youre a little nuts but i love every video. Ive learned alot so far and You are such a blessing and leave such a positive feeling. Thank you! Oh and Benson. Love!
You absolutely saved the look with adding the extra color!!! Love you sm and love your style! At first I was like hmmm not sure about that then you always come through with the coolest stuff
Your video is so funny and light hearted and positive! I have loved all the hand crafts since I was a little girl so this was really fun to watch and the end result is a custom one off design which, lets face it, are the best! Great job and thanks for sharing!
the first video ive ever watched of your content but you seem like a wonderful person, i rly like how you actually showed clips of you knitting and i for sure will be knitting a sweater inspired by yours:) hope you have a nice day !
I love your video's!! I dye my own yarn that I knit and crochet with and trust me a yarn swift is life changing along with the ball winder you have. They do open and collapse and store easily. So if you have room I would recommend one.
I have been looking for inspiration to do a free hand knit - FOUND YA!!!!!. Anyway, I found this cute sweater on Pintrest I've been wanting to make and just figured it out. Now your video laid the blueprint /picture - so I can now see how I'm to move forward on this project... Thanks...
Don't worry about whether you're knitting Continental or English, knit however you want to! If it works for you then there's no reason to change to a different way of knitting. I taught myself to knit backwards so I wouldn't have to turn my work while knitting a flat piece, lol. There are no rules, do what makes you happy!
I love it! I love you, you are so funny and just love your simplicity 😂 ...Jenna, you are so very funny, so talented and creative. You are a great inspiration for whoever wants to attempt a project in the way you do , all seem fun to do , simple and so very colorful like your personality ❤😂😂😂 Stay as simple and funny as you are ...it's how we like you. Way to go Jenna 😅...
I didnt really catch the neckline part, I guess cuz I cant really knit :D could someone help me with that? How do I start the "second shoulder" (?) and how do I secure the stitches in the middle? I dont know how to stop and come back later to a row if u know what I mean. With crocheting this is so much easier: Also I maybe want to add a (crocheted) turtle neck I already have...
Haha, this is so fun to watch, your finished sweater is kind cool. Just need to secure the drop stiches from further dropping then you are good to go. by the way the color is stunning!
Jenna I love your videos! Ive recently started to knit and youve been such an inspiration. Also, ive been wondering where youre from, just out of curiosity, and then at 9:17 you said "mark öut" and i knew you were canadian! Anyways, thank you for the videos!
Hi Jenna! If you want to try new methods to improve your knitting speed and Continental isn’t for you, you should try English flicking. I use to do the throwing method but wanted to be faster and then changed to English flicking, now I don’t use any other method. Hope you try it and that it helps you!
Most people don’t Continental knit with super chunky needles but if you wanna knit a faster you should try flicking. It’s still English style knitting but it’s faster
i really want to make this top but i didnt understand how to (and i cannot find any other tutorial).. Could you do a deep dive tutorial on this top (cause it looks so confusing as hell)??
You are talented and funny , I loved the sweater when you thought it was a granny , now I think it’s a Frankenstein 😂 . But you pull it off very well 😀
omg you have to see this it’s so funny so i knew your channel by accidentand we have the same name and we both do crochet and knitting and we both listen to crime podcast while we're working
okay you posted this a year ago but i have to know bc im making a fishnet cardigan,,,, did you do borders for your stockinette so it doesnt curl? or did the big needles prevented that?
if the yarn for the blue balaclava is cotton, that could account for why it's wonky. did you unravel and re-knit? i'd try again with fresh yarn, if so!
Learn the basic stitches, like a garter stitch, stocking stitch and a rib stitch. And you should learn how to read a pattern. It will make you a better more knowledgeable knitter. Good luck. You will enjoy this hobby 🙂
Love this tutorial...Thank you, Jenna will definitely subscribe to your channel and these is the way I was taught as a child to make sweaters and stuff 🤣 because I wasn't very good at math and plus knitting swatches and all that other stuff wasn't a thing for me
love it i think i must try knitting my own thing however idk how ur sweater texture could be like both thin and thick yarn like ur video (idk how to describe cuz my bad english 😭) is that bc of the yarn or the way u knitting? plz help me out i'm confused rn
Love it! Jenna, the stitches you dropped for the distressed look will continue to "run" unless you somehow secure them to the row below. I know you wanted a hole and not a full on unravelling. Your sweater is WONDERFUL!!
Came here to say this. Jumper’s fab. Don’t want her unravelling all the way!
Yes! She could also do a combo of ssk and yo to make holes without any laddering or unraveling. I think that might be how the holes she showed were created (could be wrong, the image was hard for me to see).
yeah the way to fix that would just be casting off a stitch in the middle but not completely letting it go
@@UnsolicitedThoughtsOfARose it's hard to see in very large stitches like this but i'm pretty sure the original sweater didn't have a yo/ssk hole but actually a dropped stitch/ladder
the technique i've seen before for it is yo where you want your stitch to stop falling, (mark the new stitch so you don't accidentally drop its neighbour), knit normally until you reach where your stitch should start dropping, get the stitch off your needle and watch it unravel until the yo.
@@iyawakarehen That sounds cool! I’m used to working with smaller stitches.

@@rubyhesketh8876 the suspense is killing us
I want to make a sweater like this but I only kind of know how to crochet. I hope you love your sweater!
for the hand dyed yarn hanks you should totally order a swift!! the swift and the yarn winder work together like magic and it’s so satisfying!
I used this video to make a very over the top pink, purple, and orange sweater for my 6 year old. It turned out beautifully and she is going to be obsessed. Thank you!

I love watching your fearless making! If you ever get a big tangle when you are winding yarn from a hank, you can get a swift.
Can you do a quick tutorial on how you attached everything together with crochet? And how you made a collar and stuff?
Thank you sooo much! I’m knitting more than a year, but only now I realized how to knit a sweater!!! Btw thanks for the idea to use a hook!
first time i’ve seen one of her videos and skimming through, im at 7:30 i love her already 😭😭
I loveee this video!! You’re really bringing trendy crochet/knit wear content on youtube! Which is very rare 😭
Love Love Love this! Now I'm going to make myself a sweater with this free style knitting stuff. You are so fun to watch. Thank you!
Good LORD it's cute when you are knitting and just toss the yarn over the dog and they are totally cool with it, SO FRICKIN ADORABLE

Id love to try this in all black wool😍 very grungy and cute
Right now I'm working on sewing up a couple of knitted sleeves. I'm so excited!!!

The way you dropped the stitch 😂😂😂😂 you said NOPE 😂😂😂😂😂… I’m weak lol 😂😂
That yarn is from Chile, my home coutry OMG!
wow, Jenna really did just pull off a haute couture piece like it's no big deal
Hi Jenna! If you want to try new methods to improve your knitting speed and Continental isn’t for you, you should try English flicking. I use to do the throwing method but wanted to be faster and then changed to English flicking, now I don’t use any other method. Hope you try it and that it helps you!
Im just starting to watch this Video but I already love it! My favourite kind of video😍
I THOUGHT you were plant based. I'll tell you, it's great to feel good, and know that you're doing good for the world. I love your sweater.

I am going to try this.
You are talented and funny , I loved the sweater when you thought it was a granny , now I think it’s a Frankenstein 😂 . But you pull it off very well 😀
wow this is amazing & inspiring ! thank youuuu ! i have to try something cool in crochet !
the way you were THIS CLOSE 🤏🤏 to saying “massive two shts” 😭😭💀
Love love love what you did. Thank you for your inspiring content.
omg you have to see this it’s so funny so i knew your channel by accidentand we have the same name and we both do crochet and knitting and we both listen to crime podcast while we're working
I didn’t know about this but I actually love it I need to crochet one!
Love the knit how it came out but I learned nothing on how to knit it lol, you seemed all over the place but I enjoyed the video in general
You should be the next Doctor. All the nerds I know will understand - you look like Lala Ward, and the dance with the scarf sealed the deal.
Happy 2025. This video speaks to me. Love freehand knitting. Love your jokes. Thanks for the hehe's
omg... totally love it...
I highly recommend you get a swift for that hank yarn I promise it helps a lot 😂😂😂
What’s the weight of the yarn?
Btw this turned out so cute! Like something you’d see on Pinterest
Wow!!!! This looks so good!!!! I wish I could do something like this!!
I got exactly the same wool wrapper..? I don't know the English word, but this thing changed everything, never invested 15€ so good
Well done looks amazing and chic!
thank you jennaa
PS. Have you tried flicking cause that might be easier to pull yarn when stitches are a bit loose when knitting.
I know this is so old but could someone explain how the neck was formed? I didn’t quite get it and I’ve watched that part like ten time s
I love your video it‘s so simple but i wanted to ask where in the row you add the two stitches
okay you posted this a year ago but i have to know bc im making a fishnet cardigan,,,, did you do borders for your stockinette so it doesnt curl? or did the big needles prevented that?

Awh thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@JennaPhipps oh my god you guys, JENNA PHIPPS JUST REPLIED ME BACK! best night ever!!!
Love it Jenna you did a great job.
hi Jenna! have you considered knitting shorts or pants? would love a tutorial from ya 💚
I haven't tried knitting before, any tips? or starter projects?
I am planning to make a video on how to start, step by step but in the mean time I would recommend a scarf as your absolute first project ❤️
@@JennaPhipps Jenna your scarf knitting livestream was so helpful and fun to knit along with!
If a scarf seems to go and and on and on, you can knit up a quick face clothe or something small.
Learn the basic stitches, like a garter stitch, stocking stitch and a rib stitch. And you should learn how to read a pattern. It will make you a better more knowledgeable knitter. Good luck. You will enjoy this hobby 🙂
@@maryegerton6848 thanks!!!
Great sweater! Congratulations ❤️love it!
I love it!! So cute
Beautiful top, very nice use of color, I’d cut the danglers though, they detract from the look.
Off topic a little but do you have tips for making a dog sweater? I thought I'd start there before I tackle making one for me
looks amazing, I need a tutorial how to drop stitches to make it look distressed like you did it :)
I ADORE the sweater you are wearing in this video 😍 did you thrift it? Love from Germany 💕🧶
