Crocheting an Entire Outfit (as a beginner) Part One: The Fall Patchwork Cardigan 🍁🎃🍂 

🍁 since i forgot to put any helpful information in the description, I thought I would leave here some details of the cardigan! I apologize for not doing this sooner! also comment down below if you'd like a proper tutorial, so it'll be easier to understand the steps on how to make it ~ Yarn used: Mainstays 100% acrylic yarn and red heart 100% acrylic yarn. yarn is medium size 4 DK :) Grams used: 396 grams for each except the beige color, which was only 198 grams Hook size: 5mm crochet hook Square info: each square started with a chain of 22 stitches and continued making rows until i got to 5.5 inches. I'm sorry, i don't know how many rows i did for this ): Each square is 5.5 inches in width and 5.5 inches in length. Mainly everything was single crocheted. The ribbing and the cuffs were single crocheted into the back loops. The panels were slip stitched together. The process took over 60 hours to complete :o I stopped counting after, but it took so long because I was a beginner when making this video :) the more you crochet, the faster you get.

I can't believe you did that as a beginner the cardigan is so clean and the colours fit so well together woww I'm honestly impressed 👏👏♡

you SINGLE crocheted a whole cardigan as a beginner, woww im so proud😩 I’m a crocheter for almost ten years and I think I would rather die than crochet a cardigan with single crochet only☠️☠️ I would have found a way to use half double crochets or even extended half double crochets😂😂

Miss ma’am! I just started crocheting like a week ago and I’m already bored of scarves and blankets. I came on here to see how hard it would be to make a cardigan and seeing a fellow beginner making such a masterpiece inspired me! You’re really great at explaining something you’ve only just learned. Thank you so much queen 👸🏾

Making such a large wearable as your first project! You should be so proud!!! I'd have torn my hair out attempting something like this as a beginner, this is extremely impressive. If you do keep up with the hobby I will assure you, it gets easier and less frustrating. And of course the lovely thing about crochet is, when you mess up you can just frog it and redo!

"I decided to crochet an entire outfit" "Rad!" "So I started by learning how to crochet" "You WHAT" That's some incredible dedication! Major props to you, it looks awesome!!

The fact that she just learned how to crochet and made a whole cardigan I just amazing to me

“I have to finish what i started for once” you’re so real for that

this colour scheme is so nice! definitely gonna do something similar once i actually finish my last crochet cardigan i started 6 months ago haha

I wouldn't change a thing! The chonky sleeves seem to be coming into fashion, so you are ahead of the trend! Very well done for a beginner! Make your tails longer so it is easier to weave in the ends, or use them for the sewing up.

i’m a crochet beginner too and this really makes me want to crochet my own cardigan! thanks for making this seem achievable

this one of the cutest cardigans I’ve ever seen 😭 I’d legit buy it in a heartbeat

as someone who just crochets stuffed animals this is so cool, i am amazed with what you can do! i kinda wanna try to make more clothes now!

This would actually be priced at $1200+ if sold by a luxury brand like Dolce & Gabbana, LV, Diane V., etc. Great job! I'm subscribing just because I know that was A LOT of work and of course it's super cute.. looks great. It surprises how much crochet is under valued...but not by designers, they know no machine can create those stitches. Handmade is a luxury. PERIOD : ) : )

I’ve been crocheting for 2 years. 2 YEARS, and I’ve only just started trying more ambitious projects like this (mostly only made amigurumi plush toys) and THIS was one of your first projects?! I’m super impressed and love how it turned out

This is so impressive and beautiful. You totally nailed it like it was nothing! Love this so much

Honest I’m living for the chunky cardigan look, looks so cozy

I have been crocheting for a lot of years, probably more than you have been alive. 😋 I have never successfully made a sweater. So, here you are, just decided to figure out how to crochet and then created your own pattern, and made this really cool cardigan. Please continue to crochet, you have a real talent!!!

Your personality brought sunshine to my day!

Quite literally, this was the first video I'd ever seen by you and whenever I feel like I'm in a slump, I'll rewatch it. I grew up around a master crocheter who'd tried teaching me, but no matter how many times she'd showed me the stitches, I couldn't get it right and would give up. You and your videos helped me figure it out. And currently, I'm taking the plunge and making my own cardigan.

If you crochet over the ends while attaching the squares together it means you don't have to weave in the ends while also securing them!

WOW. I can't believe you did this as a beginner. I've been crocheting for years and I would never be able to design my own pattern better yet do this as a beginner. You should feel so proud. You have a real talent. 💯💕

i was quite a seasoned crocheter when i made one of these cardigans about 2 years ago. the planning process is REAL. at the time of me making my cardigan there were almost NO videos on youtube of people making them, it was just starting to get popular. i’ve come to this video because im about to make another one and i’m watching a bunch of videos to see what people have learned and discovered as this style spiked in popularity. you say in here that you didn’t weave in the ends on the inside and just tied them and i want to mention that i did the exact same thing, but put a dot of fabric glue on every knot and i don’t have a single loose end after 2 years of HEAVY wear on my sweater. great video, and congrats on such a successful project as a beginner.

the amount of dedication, consistency and patience it takes to do this... I'm crocheting a tote bag right now, I could never do this. and yarn is so expensive and the whole process is frustrating and tedious, I'm so impressed and proud of you 🤧 the colors are so fcking pretty and overall... it took my breath away how amazing it looks love. i love the fact that the sleeves are chunky and puffed, I love the color combo and how cute it is, keep doing what you do

Here I am trying to crochet a doll sized cardigan and crying 😭😭😭 it's beautiful!

I too have a basket of yarn and brand new crochet hooks, been telling myself to learn. I’m inspired, your cardigan is beautiful!

You are so organised and dedicated and that is really inspiring and also I am really impressed. People are amazing.

I was feeling depressed for last weeks, but your video was like a sunshine to me. You're so full of energy, cuteness and light, I got inspired from the start of video. Also, the cardigan is so cool, if I could do this one day I would be so happy. Thanks for your video and the energy boost I needed ♡

1:58 in and I can’t NOT subscribe. You’re wonderful! Also, you did this as a beginner?! I am years into crocheting and I’m still accidentally increasing and decreasing on every project 🤦🏻‍♀️

That is the best cardigan I've ever seen and I'm not kidding, amazing job!

I am OBSESSED with those colors together! You did an amazing job! 😍

Been crocheting on and off for about 6-7 yrs now, and can I say this was outstanding for a beginner? Congrats on this project 👏 U did amazing. Great tutorial as well.

The chunky sleeves are sooo cute, loved it!

I’ve been crocheting for 10+ years and I’m blown away by this. Good job!

Love how you cute doggy watches you intentionally as you learn to make your project so absolutely. 👏👏👏keep up the great work

Such a great job! This is I how I assembled my first pieces. There are ways to connect as you go. Will be so fun to see what you create more. You did a great job.

Wow I’m so impressed I saw the tittle and thought you’d be an experienced crocheter, you did an amazing job! I hope you continue crochet work

finding it hard to believe you’re a beginner omg it’s soo neat you did an amazing job :))

I’m absolutely baffled by the fact that you made something so well for your first ever project

The colours are absolutely stunning together!

oh my gosh it turned out so pretty 😭😭😭

I am speechless. It’s beautiful, literally amazing. I here to stay after that, that’s raw talent and you really made that entire thing on the first try. I screamed when I saw it at the end

It’s so freaking cool!!! The fact, that you being a beginner did THIS. It’s just the most incredible thing for my entire life. Seriously

I got recomended this video on April and i immediately got into crochet because of it, my goal was to make this exact cardigan with crochet, i practiced doing scarves and mittens, but then i got into knitting and oh boy! Although i do like crochet stitches, i personally find stockinette stitch way more cute and fitting better on a sweater/cardigan, so recently i got my straight needles, practiced doing some projects that came out beautiful; I am ready! I bought the yarn! Its been only 2 weeks with me only having the time to knit on Sundays and i already have both front panels done, this is so fast! I'm so excited to have it done, its looking so cute so far!! Thank you for getting me into crochet and knitting, i didn't know i could like this so much nor i could do such cute wearable things with my hands, you're a great inspiration!

I started my first square legitimately a year ago, gave up, and I’m back this fall with 30 more squares and I WILL be finishing this cardigan! Thank you.

It came out so good 😍 can't wait to see the rest of the outfit ❤❤

I LOVE the end result! Not only is it super adorable but it totally does NOT look like you were a beginner, wow, what a project!!!

OMG, you rock! I just learned the first stitches. Seeing you start from square one and ending up with this rad sweater is so inspiring! 🤗❤

that's the cutest patchwork sweater I've seen the colours are so pretty ❤️😍

oh my god that cardigan is ADORABLE! i am in love with the colors you chose!! I've made plenty of amigurumi and I'm currently working on a blanket, but this video may be the push I need to actually start making clothing :))

I am so impressed right now , the cardigan looks amazing and all the colours match so well

I'm in love with that color palette ❤️✨

this is so pretty holy cow why does this not have more views

I usually dont make crovhet clothing but this looks AWESOME making it rn!

wow, the output looks beautiful 😍

girl got the aestathic and the talent

This is AMAZING!! This is my first video of yours and I already love your humor, your voice, your dog, and your skills!! Thank you so much for breaking it down in the beginning and for being honest about how annoying and physically painful it can be to do so much. WELL DONE on your first crochet project, especially such a massive one! You’ve definitely earned a subscriber here 😊

I love the aesthetic ❤️

You are so great! not only your skill also your plan and patience. I really respect your comment don't skip. I don't do that! You are awsome woman.

This is so cool!! I'm a beginner I guess, I've been crocheting here and there for about a year but I just crocheted this heart tote bag and I love it, it's really my first "big" project. The crocheting community is definitely the coolest of all the hobbies, Love your sweater jacket!

love it ...so cute!!!

Sooo cute I love it darling! Thanks for sharing

OMG, you did so good! The final garment is so dope. Well done!!

This cardigan and entire video is a masterpiece and I love it. Perfect work on all the things!!

Oh my goodness! You are so crazy talented!! I love your channel and your editing is so nice!

Such a charming and cozy cardigan!

“You have to finish what you started for once!” Was exactly what I said when I started my 300 chain and 300 rows of granny stitch blanket! So far I’m on row 22 and props to you for being able to complete this despite being to my knowledge an absolute beginner?! Crazy!! Hope you continue your crochet adventure so the art of crochet will not die out just yet!!

your voice and the music made it so calming, thx !!

My aunt who crochets thinks I’m absolutely insane since I’m making a huge blanket (over 200 squares) with a 6mm hook and single crochets only. I just learned how to crochet 2 weeks ago so this has definitely made me a master at single crochet squares lmao

I saw this in my recommended and I have no interest in Crochet but this was so damn impressive I ended up subscribing.

this is so inspiring!!! i started crocheting REALLY recently, and it feels frustrating when you see all the pretty things that i definitely can't make yet, it becomes so demotivating... but this made me excited!!! i can totally do this, and you make it look, well, not easy, but ACHIEVABLE, and that is amazing

I love that your first project was an entire sweater. Mine was a poorly done rectangle, and then a lopsided fox made of circles.

I just found your channel and omg! I LOVE your style is so cute and aesthetic and the tips you give are actually so helpful!

im obsessed with the result!! this vid actually inspired me to start making my own and I've just finished the first square 😭😭 I'm a beginner too and never really did crochet before, may I ask how did u make the collar part? or if there's any tutorial you can make? thank u so much!

Wow I’m so impressed! You did a great job! Also stitching all the parts together is my favorite part too! It’s so satisfying to see your work coming to fruition!! Awesome video!

OMG! Such a gorgeous sweater! Good job, girl!❤❤❤

it looks really nice! Could you maybe make a tutorial so it’s easy to follow along? :)

I’ve been battling depression for a while and my therapist told me to knit. I felt inspired watching this video and I hope I’ll enjoy crocheting !

i actually love the chonky sleeves sm omg... This is so incredibly done

Thanks for sharing your progress and your mistakes! I loveddddd the end result! You killed it!

Creativity level 1000 it actually turned out so great, can’t wait for part 2. Also Maki is so cute ♥️

"After 3 Disney Movies" I can sooo relate to that, lol, I've been painting on the back of my jean jackets Disney characters and actually on everything I can like shopping fabric bags and stuff and I do the same, I put on a Disney movie and start to work. Great job btw! you just inspired me to do something similar and have somthing to be distracted since I have severe panic attacks and anxiety disorder.

the editing, organization, planning- YES 👏🏼🫶🏻 edit: OKAY model

That was awesome! I've always been so intimidated by making clothing other than hats, scarves and mittens. Now I know what I'm going to do for someone's Xmas present. Your work was so lovely. Thank you

I was never really into chrocheting but woooooow this looks absolutely fenominal.

My mother once crochet a dress for me, I was 8 y-o when she started. By the time she finished I was 15 and in high school. Props to you, I'm impressed!

It looks so pretty and comforting to wear, fr if i saw it in a shop i would have bought it it's amazing

that jumper is so gorgeous!! Well done- youre amazing

Woah- I don’t think I’d ever be able to do that I’ve never even held a crochet hook 😃 Good job!

Lovely!!! You are so talented!! You inspired me to crochet cardigan too😍 Btw, may I asked what’s your height? ( as a reference for the size modification, thank you very much)

This is SO incredibly cute and cozy!! Wow!

Just a tip, if you’re having trouble with the hook or the other hand holding the yarn, mess around with it and hold them differently. I started holding the hook knife style and found out I suck at it and can only crochet now in pencil style. This is so beautiful! Looking to do it in a chunky yarn and I’m using this tutorial to figure out how to put it together!

you've inspired me!! I've always wanted to make a cardigan for my sister. May i know how long it took you to make the cardigan? Cuz as a beginner that is really amazing that u managed to finished it! i couldn't even finish crocheting my bucket hat :(

Hii! Sorry if this info is already in the video (I can't find it 😭), but I wanted to ask what size all your squares were? It is such a lovely cardigan!!!

omg you did such a good job and i love those colors

this is so lovely! I've been wanting to make one for my dad so he can update his wardrobe and have some gifts from me - seems like a great place to start

IT LOOKS SO CUTE AND COMFYY

That's amazing work 👏 the outfit came out so good ❤

this is so amazing. i love to crochet but have never made clothes. im now going to attempt. well done. yours came out lovely x

I came across this video while I was watching multiple crochet vids as I was a beginner and wanted to make big projects such as clothes and accessories and this inspired me a lot :D
