Have you completed now Emily?

@@nupur4849 I did, absolutely loved this one, sadly its now too small for my son, I keep meaning to make another too

@@embm2959 that's great I will make it then, thanks for replying 😊

Knit row 21 and purl row 22.

Thank you so much! I will 😉

At the underarm (row 47) you bind off 2 stitches (58 →56 stitches) and 2 more on row 48 (56→54 stitches). Then you decrease 2 stitches on every odd row up to row 19 (which is 20 stitches in total) which will leave you with 34 stitches. Hope that helps :)

Could you explain the 5. Row of the neckline if you got it. I'm stucked there

È

Gracias! La verdad es que no, los que he hecho son para niños más pequeños

Can you explain the next step, after the decrease when ,34 stitches are left?

Congratulations 🎈

@@sowoolly Thank you and same to you. Though I'm still waiting on the video with the video requested. Hope to see it on your channel ASAP. Sorry to rush you.

@nataliafeliciafernandez654 Oh, I’m sorry, my lower back is hurting, and I can’t record long videos at the moment

Dear Joanna, I’m happy to hear it! Please take a look at this tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lbSfZr_oBYI.html From minute 16:23 onwards, you’ll see how to block the sweater and how to join the pieces using the invisible seam technique. Good luck 🤗

Did you work out how to do this? My 6 year old really wants one too. Thanks

i assume u cast on more and just go from there x

Or you can go up a needle size. That should work. She uses 4 and 5 so try using 5 mm and 6 mm with a 4 weight yarn

Hi Peggy, I’m happy to hear it! Below this video, on the description box, you’ll find the link to another tutorial where I explain how to block and join your sweaters 😉

I’m happy to hear it! Thank you for your comment 🤗

What size needles did you use for a 3yr old please and how many co stitches.. sorry if I sound dumb but I haven’t been knitting long and would love to make this for my grandson..

Take a look at the written instructions, just click on the link below the video, on the description box 😉

Can you please help me out. I can't understand after the decrease. What to do next when 34 stitches are remaining. The next step please?

Hi, if you have 34 stitches left, it means you haver just finished decreasing 2 stitches on the FIFTH row (see "Raglan shaping"). Continue decreasing 2 stitches every alternate row (the row numbers are on the pattern) till you have 16 stitches left. Then follow the pattern.... Hope this helps.

Thank you Sophie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The same happened to me. I think the blog description has an error but in the video that part is explained correctly.

I just sent you the link (it’s also a Raglan, so the technique is the same).

Thank you 😊

Hi, it’s correct

Follow this tutorial (from minute 16:30): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lbSfZr_oBYI.htmlsi=DO6Zpe5YoSYpOPBH

That's what happened with the one I made for my 2 year old. The only thing I can think of is stop before you do the neck line on any parts. Leave the stitches on a stich holder. When you've finished sewing all the parts together go back and pick up the stitches for the neck line. Add extra stitch on the corners where you sewed together if you need to. Knit in the round with the smaller needles.. you. After 8 rows you might want to decrease 4 -8 stitches depending on the child's neck size. And knit several more rows k2P2. So it's taller. The one I made for my toddler who's 25lbs 33" tall. The neck line is open and sits on her shoulders. I put a t shirt underneath and the t shirt is visable at the neck but it's too late for me to fix it. I'm going to attempt the sweater again making adjustments where I need to fit my baby better. And look nicer.. The neck line was my only real issue with this pattern

Thanks! Not for this one, I'm afraid...

Hola, también está en mi canal SoyWoollyendirecto 😉

Next to the title of the video, you’ll see the word “More”. Click there and the description box will appear. You’ll find the link to my website there.

Thank you 😊

I think I used a 4.0mm and it turned out perfect for my 2 year old . Other than being loose in the neck . She's only 25lbs and 33" tall

The pattern recommends worsted yarn . You would probably need a few more stitches .

Because the Stockinette stitch curls. It’s easier to sew the sweater after blocking (this process helps the pieces to stay flat) 😉

I like your exact explanations please can you recommend me how to knit women cardigan bottom to up .. i cant knit with secular needles.. thank you so much

@mikyrosenblum1240 Yep! I have a new one that came out recently: How to Knit Your First Comfy Cardigan (quick and super easy!) - So Woolly ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mmf_iyAGRis.html Thank you for your comment, and don’t forget to subscribe and activate the notifications, so you don’t miss a thing 🤗 Happy knitting 🧶

Yes, but if your gauge is smaller, the sweater will be smaller too 😉

I calculated this pattern for this gauge only

It could be smaller, maybe for 2 years 😉

@@sowoolly perfect, that's exactly what I am looking for! thank you so much!

You would need to knit a Guage swatch and take measurements of the child. And see how many sts it would take to get the size you need.

Hello Carmen, maybe you are not making the decreases needed, or you are increasing stitches without even realising it. Please take a look at the written instructions below the video, on the description box. Good luck ;D

Hello! I haven’t calculated this pattern for more sizes, but I’m working on a new one 😉

@@sowoolly I'd humbly ask you to make something with the size of my boy and with needles 4 or 4.5 much thanks

sara wael idk if you found a solution, and in a beginner so take this with a grain of salt but I think you would need circular needles and do everything the same but cast one more. So say you measure around your waist and it’s 30 inches and you wanted your sweater to be a little loose, we’ll say 32 inches just for ease, if you cast on how ever many stitches to make it 16 inches (because the front and back is the same) it would probably work. Idk what you would do ones you got up to the arms but if you just measured your body and made the rows it would probably work out. Good luck :)

Thanks! The size is good for av2 year old (take a look at the written pattern to see the measurements)

I made it for my 2 year old using smaller needles since she's skinny

this will help u. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7HrwZjM3zos.html

Not yet 😉

Hello, just watch this tutorial from minute 16:33 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lbSfZr_oBYI.html The process is the same.

You don’t have to decrease on rows 21 and 22. Please take a look at the written pattern (there’s a link below this video, on the description box). Everything is explained there too 😉

@@sowoolly ok thank you so much I understand much more now♥️

Before starting, always read the whole patterns first. It’s a good habit for all knitters!

@@sowoolly yes in this case what I did was I wrote down your written pattern but I always get a little anxious when it comes to increasing or decreasing so I to over the written pattern and the video 100 times to make sure I feel confident in doing it haha

😅 Breath and take it easy ❤️
