Excuse me, where was this like 5 years ago when I was just learning how to knit and was broke and couldn't buy a sweater pattern? 😤 I request that you go back in time and upload this back then! Just kidding 🤣💖 I'm definitely going to be making this! Thank you so much for uploading such a detailed and free tutorial 💖💖💖

Ashley I must say you a wonderful Teacher. I just wish you were around when I was teaching. I’m now 83 years old, and learned to knit in School in Scotland age 5 or 6 years old. The first thing we had to knit was a hot water bottle cover, which we needed with no central heating. My wonderful Teacher was a master knitter. Through my younger years I only knitted off and on. I emigrated to Vancouver Canada, and worked in a yarn shop age 20. I was a very natural knitter, and was offered a job to teach knitting at a high School in the evenings. The pay was marvellous. What I would have loved, was to have you teaching by my side, the younger generation. I still think youngsters should be taught in every School, as once you learn, you don’t forget. It’s also the best thing you could learn for many reasons. Keep up the great work of teaching, I’m so proud of you. God Bless . ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦🥰

@AshleyLillisKnits 2 года назад

I really appreciate your kind words - means a lot to me to hear that from someone with such a strong history knitting! It is so fun for me to teach simple designs that I make - I want it to me accessible to everyone! It brings so much joy to see other people make things that they love to wear. Thanks letting me know about your background - it’s so fun to hear about how other people started knitting and their love for it too. Stay warm + happy knitting! 🧶 ❤️🧶💕

@JacqsieRae 2 года назад

I'm a disabled grandma..n have been knitting n crochet for 50 years.. throughout those years I taught many many children (and adults) these wonderful crafts. I would pick up hooks needles n yarn at garage sales n 2nd hand shops as to have many extra ones on hand... So I could teach then give my student a hook n yarn or needles n yarn to take home.

🥰 I have found other so-called tutorials, where the knitter tells you what she’s going to do, shows you the finished product, and mostly talks her way through the beginning of the procedure, and then shows you the end of it in each section, which is really no help for me. You are actually sitting here knitting every stitch with me. That is what I needed. Ok, NOW I’M DOING IT!

I must admit am 62 and have been knitting for 50+ years and have never seen or knitted a jumper this way. The traditional way of sleeves and body pieces sewn together seems easier to do and I have knitted so many over the years. It's was intriguing to watch. Thank you , I enjoyed it. 🤔❤️🇬🇧

@ShopgirlNY152 5 месяцев назад

I only have knitted flat and have been so fearful of knitting in the round, top down. You are an AMAZING on teacher. I NEVER comment on videos, as I prefer more privacy but this was soooo helpful that I made an exception to the rule. ❤

@barbarastadler6699 Год назад

I am an experienced knitter but never attempted a 'top-down' pattern until now. As a left-handed knitter I find it difficult sometimes to follow pattern instructions. I am halfway down the torso using your Simple Raglan Sweater pattern and can barely contain my excitement!! As a matter of fact, I woke up at 3 a.m. and after coffee, was compelled to start click-clacking away at my chestnut brown sweater. Thanks for the free pattern, Ashley! I am already planning my next sweater!!

You make knitting a sweater seems so easy. I was looking for a first project and I'll definitely give a try on this one. I love how chunky and comfy it looks. And your closeups and explanations are on point.

Really excited to buy my equipment, practice a bit and then move on to this sweater. Thank you so much 😘

I do lots of crafts so I wasn't too worried about getting the handiwork right, but had no idea how to follow a pattern prior to starting this. The video is super clear and easy to follow, and I was able to map what Ashley is doing in the video to what the pattern says, so now I understand how to follow a pattern and have already started on my next sweater. Highly recommend!

i have wanted to learn to knit a sweater for most of my life, but especially the last 7 years as i’m finally retired. I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful video and pattern! I did it! It took me less than a week….i got into one or two jams but i rechecked the video and got back on track easily. Best of all, i’m a continental knitter and most of my knitting friends had given up on me,but this was amazing! Thank you SO much! I am over the moon at figuring it all out with your help!

This is such a great tutorial! I’ve knitted socks, hats, etc. but I’ve been wanting to moving on to sweaters. This looks like the perfect project for the winter. Thanks so much!

I just finished this sweater! Have been knitting for years and made sweaters with rectangles. I used a combination of this and the Winter bluff and I changed the sleeves to make a longer cuff. Your detailed videos showing closeups was fantastic! Thanks so much Ashley. I’m on my way to buy yarn for another of your projects!

I haven’t started on this yet but I’ve watched the whole tutorial, printed the pattern and purchased the yarn. You have done a wonderful job explaining everything and have me excited to make this! Every other sweater tutorial I’ve watched had me so confused and overwhelmed that I’ve been scared to even try. Not anymore thanks to you!

Wow! Best tutorial on how to knit a sweater for beginners. I was terribly frustrated to not be able to keep up with the other tutorials I found online/youtube. This is the best well explained video ever, and the sweater looks so good. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us. Wish you all the best!

This is so cute!! I would buy this sweater if I see it at the store. I am going to challenge myself in knitting! Thank you for posting ❤

@samiraamysperryfaldet8969 Год назад

I am going to seem hyperbolic for a moment and I will own that lol but, I just really needed this. You have made it so that I feel like I have a helper right next to me. My cousin taught me to knit before she passed away and well, every stitch I feel her with me and I have so so much wanted to make her proud since we never got to this part. Celtic knots and raglan sweater creation was on our list but she just got too sick. I am getting better on the celtic knots through youtube university, but, I just couldn't seem to find the raglan tutorial I really needed. I just have to say you are a gifted artist and teacher and I am so grateful.

@AshleyLillisKnits Год назад

Oh wow, thank you so much for sharing. You just completely made my day. I’m so happy this was helpful to you ❤️ thinking about you and your cousin!

@rachelmitchell2144 2 года назад

Wow! This was so thorough and enjoyable to watch. Makes me think I could actually knit a sweater! Thank you so much for sharing your skills and teaching them in such an understandable manner! 💚🧶

@AshleyLillisKnits 2 года назад

Aww, thank you! You can totally do this!! 😍

@gailfirenze4760 Год назад

Such a great tutorial. Everything was so clearly described. Thank you so much, Ashley. Blessings Gail 🇦🇺

I'm halfway through the first cardigan I have ever attempted to knit, but want to be able to do a Raglan top-down. Thank you so much for this. I have beautiful Malobrigo yarn I want to use for this; I will swatch it out and adjust the stitch numbers, but thank you so much for this well-explained, easy-to-use pattern.

This is just an amazing tutorial. I literally tried taking knitting lessons from a professional and got so dejected because I could not understand how to knit. This is incredibly helpful. Thank you.
