Learn how to crochet sweaters for men without a pattern and without seams. My tutorials break down the top-down sweater construction process in simple steps from top (the neckline) to bottom (the hems).
Fabio! Fabio! I have no idea how you came up with the 'designing process' of this soon to be gorgeous sweater! I have tried many times to make my own pattern for my own sweater.......and after crocheting for over 50 years; I just could not figure the process I wanted to take and use. You are doing just a fabulous job on this!!! Bellisimo. (Is that the right word? lol). Richard
Hi, how nice to see a new chrocheter on the tube. Welcome! I found you on because you probably have had some subs writing comments on your films and the agronyme was putting you forward on the startpage. Good job subscribers!!
17 rows into the 1st sleeve and 😅😅😮😮🤪I've got to rip it out. My chain was 23. But some how huge bell sleeves. This sweater is for me . I thought I measured correctly 😮I'm going to try again
I know the frustration of frogging very very much, so I totally feel your pain, but before frogging, use your mirror to identify what needs to be adjusted. I will make a video soon, explaining exactly that. That's the beauty of following a system rather than a pattern, because once you understand the system, you can customize it at will.
I am enjoying all of your videos so I have a question; when crocheting the sleeve I see you turning the work, can the sleeve be crocheted in the round without turning?
Great question! What you're describing is the spiral construction which creates a slightly different-looking fabric compared to the back-and-forth construction.
Hello und Guten Tag from Germany. Thank you very much for your easy to understand tutorial for a men ♂sweater❗ Fabio, can you answer me a question, please: Is it possible to crochet a women♀sweater with your constructing technique❓ Thank you very much for you answer.
Hallo und Guten Tag auch aus NYC! That's the extent of my Deutsch! About your question, unfortunately, Ich habe keine Ahnung, because I have never made a sweater for women. Very sorry. 😞
Hi Fabio, I love watching your tutorials and you have inspired me. I have actually used some of your techniques into my WIP's. I would like to make a sweater for brother just need to get the right yarn. Thank you so much for what you are doing. 🍁
Le tue spiegazioni, anche se l'inglese non lo so molto bene, sono anche per me comprensibili perché non essendo la tua madrelingua parli più lentamente e chiaramente, che è la cosa migliore 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Keep it up!!! P.S. Vivo in Germania da quasi 30 anni e quando devo contare lo faccio sempre in italiano 😅
Hi Fabio. I can’t seem to find your email address in the about this channel. I am an old lady so maybe I am looking in the wrong place. Please help me😮😅
Thank you, Fabio. Your tutorials are unique, inspiring, and presented so wonderfully. I've been crocheting for almost 30 years, and under your tuteledge I'm learning new ways of doing things that are improvements over the way I have done them in the past. Most of all, I want to tell you how much I love and appreciate your friendly tone, your patient way of instructing, and the thorough way you explain what you do with your words. I am losing my vision, and am almost blind in one eye. Your videos are helping to keep my spirits up because I'm able to listen to what you are doing when watching is hard for me. I cannot thank you enough. 🙏🧶♥✨🤗
Good day, Bello. 😘 Hearing you count and revert to Italian and back to English was so cool. 😍 Thank you for continuing with this amazing tutorial. It was so interesting, to me, that the sleeve began as a chain. Fabio, I thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. You are a wonderful teacher. 💖
Hey Fabio, you put your heart into everything you do. Don’t burn out, we can wait patiently for the next video. Love the way you do the sleeves. My sweater is starting to look like a sweater. ❤
Usually, yes, because the shape is reminiscent of 17th century style of sleeves (think of Marie Antoinette and the French Court of Versailles) but I have also made more modern style, tapered sleeves. I will cover them in a future sweater project. For now, let's keep things simple.
Thank you! You have shown a better way of measuring for the sleeve placement. I have seen so many tutorials that make it complicated. Have a wonderful day.
Yes, I was tired! I can't believe it I was showing it so clearly! It took me 12 hours to record this video and the whole process was so frustrating for so many reasons I won't bore you with. By the end of the video I was so exhausted! I love the fact you picked up on it though... you make me feel like I have a fan who cares about me and worries about my wellbeing! Thank you! ❤️
@CrochetByFabio Above all, Fabio, 12 hours doing any thing is tremendous.. keep yourself healthy! We are here to learn, not to wear you out. I taught as a Dietitian & Nutrition Instructor at our W.I.U.. back in cave days and early computers. I am astounded at the videos & your presentations. ..and when I remember Covid Era lock-ups, your work is even more awesome! As an 8 y.old,I was taught by my grandma and I am still learning! I hope you have some kind of private life, so you can take breaks and refresh your spirit. We aren't going anywhere, except to re-watch the videos over and over... and over, as needed...lol. There is no hurry and I bet we will all still be around for next video. Don't expect so much of yourself!!! Take time for loved ones, too. Thank you for caring for us, as well. Look at the responses and you will see you do at least 300%, the world only grasps 75% at the most, on any given day.😵💫🥴😶🫣🤭😅🩵
Ciao Fabio, I am an avid follower of yours, starting with the first video you posted, and I absolutely love your no-nonsense, plunge right in approach to crocheting a sweater. Your thought process is very methodical and engineered, and all I can say is: keep up the good work, I’m looking forward to more sweaters and beyond! I am currently waiting for the yarn I ordered for my own sweater, and I’ll follow your instructions from the start. Meanwhile, I just watch your videos for the sheer joy of it, and for a better understanding of eventual stumbling blocks (for me) along the way. And here is a little request from me: I have a special liking for sleeves that have a positive ease up to the elbow, but from that point, I’d want them snug, with some negative ease, then the ribbing as per usual. Would it be possible to have an option for more fitted sleeves from the elbow down? Many thanks for considering this request, and mille grazie for any suggestions as to how to go about it.
Thank you very much for your kind words. To answer your question, yes, we will do tapered sleeves in a future sweater project. Just not this one because we begin with the basic. If I were to cover every single nitty-gritty aspect of sweater making, I would be losing everybody's attention. Let's get the simple sweater done first and then we will raise the bar.
