How To Add Crochet Ribbing To A Project \\ Help With The Better Sweater Pt. 3 

awww, thanks! I'm so glad you found my channel 😊 thank you for the kind words. Lets be real, you've probably got 10x the interruptions with 2! 👏👏👏 kudos to you

i did not succeed; my collar was still too big 😢

​@@zeeschelpdid you try it again? I'm just doing it on a netted beanie but I connected with your comment! I hope you kept crafting though.

@@pandapuffzee8255 Tried a few more times with both methods but not succesfull. Kept crafting, but no crocheted sweaters... Still haven't figured it out. :/ Maybe an idea is starting a loose collar, attaching the first row to the sweater, then making the collar longer untill it seems around the right size to start attaching the rest of it. However that would still give the problem of the collar being a good size for the sweater, but not looking good because it would be too loose (this is what I meant by "too big")... Frustrating for sure!!

​@@zeeschelphi! Have you tried using a smaller hook? Like if you did your sweater with a 5mm hook, try to do the collar with a 4,5 or even a 4mm hook?

@@PataPtichou I will try this!

Where is your sweater up tuteral video

Maybe too many rows or you made way too many chains?

Same question. Trying to put ribbing on granny square sleeve that is huge at wrist. How can I decrease neatly?

Same happening to me. When I do this the collar is sniff and becomes wavy and all the rows bunch up so that when I put it on I look like a frill-necked lizard. I’ve tried looser stitches as well I’m not sure how else to fix it.

I decrease (granny square sweater) at the wrist by: taking 2 in one, normal, 2 in 1, normal, 2in1, .... I do this as long as the wrist hole is to big. Then I add a ribbing cuff.

Totally! Just skip some stitches in the middle of your ribbing and make chains over them instead. The, on the next row you can slip stitch into the chains like normal and that leaves a little button hole

Also. All of the videos on the "better sweater" have been super helpful.

(wanting it to have an open turtleneck type thing like a pre made poncho my mum bought for me a couple of years ago)

Luck!🌟

This is a supplemental guide she has to a paid pattern. Also, in her first video of the series, I believe she said it’s a good reference on how to IN GENERAL do a bottom up sweater. This isn’t an exact pattern in itself or tutorial on how exactly to make it with stitch counts etc. The link to the paid pattern on her ETSY is in one of the video descriptions too I believe. Just a heads up. :)
