I am 5'4" and weigh 137 so I am unsure whether to make the medium or large size. I can't seem to access the measurement chart which was a link in the pattern. My bust size is 36" which puts me at the top edge of a medium. I hate to put a lot of money and effort into crocheting the sweater only to find out I should have made a large rather than a medium. Please help.

By the way, I truly appreciate your patterns and greatly enjoy your videos. Thanks for giving us ideas. I am anxious to try the hdc starter row rather than chaining the first row.

I'm working the up north country cardigan. Can you please tell me where, in inches from the front sides, the stitch markers go before I begin to decrease? I started using another stitch and now I'm all confused. But inches would save me!! Thanks!

I'm making the large pattern - can you tell me the finished length Shoulder to bottom as I want to make sure its long enough for me. Thanks

I would like to know which should I go by.. the written pattern or the video concerning the back, this is very confusing.

Thank you

I'm hoping someone will reply to me. I'm making this in the large but I need to shorten the sleeves, how would I go about doing this?
I've previously made it in XL but the sleeves are too long for the recipients of the larges im making.
Thank you in advance.

I would need to make a larger size for myself, but I am only 5', so the additional length would come down around my knees! So I can stop at, say, 5 inches or so less than the full length and be OK?

It's such a cute, cozy style, and the yarn is lovely to work with. The one issue I'm having is, mine is a lot shorter than yours for some reason. I'm using a size 6 hook, but the gauge came out fine. Is there a measurement for how long the main body of the piece should be including the back and two fronts?

I still have to put the right sleeve on and the collar. But this looks amazing. I just love the yarn too. May have to get some more and make a few of these for Christmas. No problems at all with your pattern. Great job on the pattern and thank you so much for sharing them.

Since then, I have made this sweater SEVERAL times!!! Everytime I return to work, I get asked to make this for someone else. Everyone LOVES it. I have made it in both the cotton blend yarn and an acrylic yarn with similar weight. The only difference I noticed, the acrylic sweater didn't really have the weight & length that the cotton ones have. Hope this helps anyone wanting to substitute. ~Happy Crocheting Everyone

Does a row count as crocheting the length and turning and crocheting back the length? Or is a row just crocheting the length one time? I see it says to finish a row on the right side, but confused as to what that means.
Thanks

I chose "Fireside" for my yarn color. It arrived today and I'm starting tonight. I am a little disappointed in the 'printed copy of the pattern'. It's more like a 'copied copy' and it's not in color but I'm still psyched to make my very first sweater. I've already learned a new skill, the hdc foundation row. I love it because I always get tangled up working the first row into a long chain. I will definitely be using that in future projects. If my sweater turns out, I'll send a photo. Tnx

I’m working on the collar right now and decided to lay the sweater out and lay the collar on it to make sure it was coming out correctly before I started the decreasing. The color of the yarn got lighter as I was crocheting but I didn’t realize it until I laid the collar on the sweater. I Had ordered the yarn all at the same time so I thought it would all be the same. I felt heartbroken. I guess the only thing to do is pull out the stitches cut the lighter yarn off and hope the rest of the yarn goes back to the correct color. This is the first time I've made a sweater and can’t wait to finish it. Thanks for sharing the pattern.

Hmm. I'm not quite sure why that would be, but I don't think it'll have a big impact on the overall look of the sweater, so I'd just roll with it. 🙂

Hmm, that might be because of which foundation option you chose? In any case, since she's on the shorter side, I'd just remove a row. 🙂

In the video you go to the collar but there are no written directions for the collar or pockets to know how many rows/stitches for each size of sweater. I was reading along on the pattern written above, but it seems to have skipped the collar section and talked about the sleeves. Are you only able to get that if you pay for the pdf version.

It's my first garment and I'm proud of what I've got so far. So, I am now at the place markers section for the front and back parts (4 markers). I placed at 24 and 25 1st set. Then 41 and 42 second. Well when I went to crochet the first front panel to the st itch before marker on the 24th I only ended with 23 half doubles. So anyway I moved the marker over one. Is this ok? Confused honestly.

I remarked above about the marker placement in the stitches. I went through the rest of the pattern and compared the pattern on here and the PDF. The marker placements are again different for the decrease rounds on the “Main Body of Sweater” but you still end up with the correct amount of stitches when you get to the Dividing Back and Fronts.

Are you aware you have discrepancies between your pattern on here and the PDF that I purchased and printed out. The discrepancies are where you place the markers when Dividing for Back and Fronts. I am doing the sweater as a large. The pattern on here says to place the stitch markers on the first set at the 24th & 25th stitch and at the 41st & 42nd stitch on the second set. The back will have 56 stitches. But the PDF has them at stitches 26-27 and 43-44 and the back with 58 stitches. The math of course does not work out on the PDF with the 138 stitches left after the decrease rows. Placing the markers according to the PDF only gives me 52 stitches for the back. I was curious to see if the pattern was the same on here and if there were any comments about the stitch count being off. Math works for the marker placement on here though. Just not on the PDF.

I don't have an ad blocker on and I still cant find where the video is for part 1 or 2.

I'm almost done with my cardigan (I'm gonna have to wait until school is over to finish it though :[ ), and I'm liking it so far, but I was wondering if the pattern would change drastically if I try to make another one with Knit Picks' worsted Wool of the Andes? I feel like it's a heavier DK or light worsted yarn, so I'm not sure if I would need to change hook size. I'm totally okay with my cardigan being a little bigger since the gauge might be off with a thicker yarn.

Thank you!

Hopefully I don't confuse myself anymore ?.

Sorry for the bother!

Do I remove a row? This is for my mother and she is short so if removing a row effects the length of the sweater then it shouldn't really be a problem but I just wanted to make sure since this is only my second garment having just made a cardigan for my grandson.

Thank you!

Hey Angelina,

It depends on the size you're making. So you'll count from the right side of the cardigan edge toward the middle to place the first marker. Then count from the right side of the cardigan edge again to place the second marker. Then you'll repeat that process, but count from the left edge of the cardigan for both the first and second marker.

Does that make sense?

Jess

Hey Dominika,

Then count from the right side of the cardigan edge again to place the second marker. Then you'll repeat that process, but count from the left edge of the cardigan. Depending on the side you're making, there will be about 10-15 stitches left in the space for each arm hole. I hope that makes sense!

Beautiful crocheted cardigan design. I am asking for information regarding division on the back and fronts. How many stitch are there from the first marker to the second marker? It is a break where the sleeve is sew. Is it thirteen stitch? I do not know if this is understandable, I do not know English well.

I am blown away by your creativity, girl.

AW MAN! That's a bummer. I really like this yarn, but $18.50 is a lot! You could search YarnSub.com to see what other options you might be able to use that are available near you. 🙂

Hey Suzanne,

Do you use an ad-blocker? If so, that will often make the video player disappear. 🙁

Without an ad-blocker turned on though, you should be able to see it above the beginning of the written pattern.

Hey Jody!

I'm so happy to hear you'll give this one a go. I've been loving wearing mine! I'd search YarnSub.com for some alternate DK/light worsted weight yarns. The most important thing when subbing the yarn is to achieve the pattern gauge so you know your sweater will fit. 🙂

Hey Juanita,

Thanks for the feedback. Since every project varies in length, I assign the difficulty based on the skills needed to complete it instead of the time needed to complete. In this case, those skills are quite accessible and thoroughly explained in the video tutorial.

Of course, some less experienced crocheters (and some more advanced) will seek smaller projects, but for those who want the satisfaction of making a garment, I think this one can be appropriate for most levels.

Happy crocheting!

Jess

This is a super cute and sweet sweater, However after watching the video my opinion is that this would be beyond a beginner project, I would say its more like intermediate due to the many different steps needed to make it. I'm an experienced crocheter, have been doing it for years and all the steps and different things to do was even overwhelming to me. I do love it but it would be a lengthy project to make. Maybe sometime I might tackle it when I have more time. God Bless!

Love this cardigan and I’m going to have a go at making it. I have never made a garment before in crochet - so i’m Really looking forward to making this. What other weight or type of yarn can you suggest if I don’t want to use the cotton blend? I’m thinking of something soft & snuggly.

Do I have to purchase the pdf pattern to gain access to the videos?

Also, when I go online, I CAN have it...at a price of $18.50 EACH~. Sad face...

Hey Sharon,

The entire free pattern is included above. If you'd like a version that's formatted for printing, you can purchase it for a small fee here. (I don't make any money if you print the pattern from the blog post, so the only way I can continue offering patterns when people print them is if I charge a few dollars for the printable PDFs.)

Thanks for your support!

Hey Janice,

I think a wool would be beautiful. My suggestion would be to look for a similar weight yarn (category 3-DK weight) and then do a gauge swatch to see if you need to adjust your hook size to meet the pattern gauge. YarnSub.com is a good resource to look for yarns with a similar gauge to what a pattern calls for. 🙂

Hey Darlene,

Is the C2C Christmas afghan what you're looking for? All the graphs are linked in the individual blog posts. Feel free to download those graphs and print them. Unfortunately, I don't have the written instructions for those at this time. Hopefully at some point in the future!
