Thank you it means a lot 🙂

You are so welcome!

Thank you @chloeiscrafty , means a lot to me

I am so happy for you.. Lots of love.. ❤

😇 Thank you so much

I don't have larger sizes as of now but will surely try to make a tutorial for the same.

Do you have printed instructions for this pattern? I learn better by reading, not viewing.

@@ellengrolman9245 sorry I don't have a written pattern as of now

@@soulmindshypnotherapyholis4786 sorry I don't have a written pattern.

You are welcome And it's my pleasure 🙂

I don't at the moment but I am definitely planning on making a newborn bonnet tutorial. And thank you so much. It really means a lot to me 😊

@@Space-el9hg Thank you so much.This really means alot to me 😊

Hi, just wondering if you end up making this sweater? What is the final size of your sweater?

6pm EST. I am also a beginner and thank you so much this is wonderful.

You have to slip first stitch in every row to create an even edge.

It's DK weight machine washable acrylic baby yarn.. Do let me know how it turns out 😊.

It is 4sts =1inch

@@jayantidabhere668 If it's small may be cast on 6or 8 sts more

Yes you are actually going to cast on stitches for one sleeve on the wrong side and another sleeve on the right side of the work.. It doesn't really matter since it is garter stitch..

Finally was able to revert back.. hush!!

Hi there, it is absolutely ok to make mistakes in knitting. It happens with me all the time. What you can do is you can go back and frog your work all the way back to the the part from where we started knitting for the front panel. OR If you will you can just leave it and repeat the same mistake on the other panel and call it a day 😊.But make sure your sleeves are equal on both the front and back side. I hope you understood and please let me know which solution you took. Have a great day😊

@@subtleknits I stopped after this obstacle. Then I started back, but had to destroy all my work. Now I started from scratch and not able to do the first row it self may be because I am not doing the basic 44 stitches right or what not sure.... 😢

After lots and lots of failures.... I was able to understand what was going wrong! i have finally made it to 3rd row hush.. I hope to complete this sweater in 4 days as a beginner.

@@aarzibhagya Best of luck to you. When you are a beginner, there are many challenges while knitting. When I was just learning to knit I couldn't differentiate between a Knit st and Purl st. And when others did it so easily, I felt like wow how can they know that? 😊 When I look back at it I fell so amateur, but as you continue to do it, you will start getting sense of everything. And you will one day reach that status. I trust you. And you can definitely knit this Kimono. Because it's so easy. And if you have any problem just comment to find the solution. I am here for you 😇. If you are feeling overwhelmed, just take a break from it and restart.

Doesn't really matter. But you can start with the right sleeve (when viewed from the back).

@@subtleknits Thank you very much for quick reply

@@Hattie101 Yes you can make it with straight needles as well.

The width of the kimono is 9inches.

@@subtleknits thanks a lot for prompt answer!

Hi. So the thing is. I always slip the first stitch of every row, it helps to achieve a clean edge. So when I am saying K3, I am probably doing Slip the first st, K2. I hope it is clear now🙂

Hi, Thanks for the reply , sorry I am late to convey thanks. Everything has come out very well but I have not slipped anyway I will upload after I finish

@@janakir3759 Ok Janaki. Excited to see the finished piece. You can tag me on Instagram if you use it. @ Subtleknits😊

@@subtleknits Hi, thanks to the clear instructions from your video, I just completed the kimono and it came out really well! However, I don't have instagram so I won't be able to upload a photo. But if you share your email address, I'll be happy to share a pic over email.

@@janakir3759 Sure Am excited to see it. It is subtleknits@gmail.com . And can I share on my Instagram? 🙂

@@jwatson4610 Sorry I don't have for 3-4 year old..

Yes straight needles will just do fine.

Thanks for replying and one more question pls.. I have same yarn for this project so what is idle straight needle size Pls pls reply..

@@nidhimarda990 UK stright 8 no. Size is 4mm.

Can you be more specific? You can add the time , I will look into it later. Thanks 😊

I think she was saying that an option is to put the stitches you are ignoring on another needle. She did short rows instead, in other words knit the 15, turn the work so that you are ignoring the others and just knit and turn for the appropriate amount of length.

This part begins at 7:33

So knit 15 stitches after the marker that separates the body from the sleeve. The panels are done as short rows ( knit 15, turn, knit the sleeve and the 15, for 5 rows) and you ignore for now the rest of the body stitches.

It's understandable to think you missed her placing the rest of the body stitches on a holder, because she mentioned it as a method but didn't actually slip them onto a holder.

@@CatherineCurtis-r1q Currently I don't have a tutorial for baby sweater

Okay thank you, you are so good and easy to follow so I thought you might have one

@@CatherineCurtis-r1q I am planning on making one.. May be stick around 😊

Awesome

Sorry I don't have written instructions.

So sorry I don't have the pattern at the moment. But will surely make a video soon.

Use the base of this pattern but measure babys back and arm length in inches and adjust from there. That's my theory anyway. Bx

@@jwatson4610 No you would have to make it bigger. You can add 4sts for every 1" additional I. e. this kimono is 10" in width and to add extra 2/3" You will add extra 8/12 sts. That will make the body wider. And for adding the length knit extra rows and measure as you go. For 3 months you can add 3" Extra. Directions :- co 52/56 sts as per your size preference. I the tutorial I knit 5.5 " before casting on sts for sleeves. You can knit 6.5 " and cast on sts for sleeves. For sleeves cast on additional 5 sts more than what is shown in the tutorial. You can make the sleeves wider by adding few more rows before dividing sts for the front panels. I hope it helps.

@@subtleknits Thank you so much. I’m so eager to get started. It’s a pretty cute top 😊

I didn't make a swatch for this one.. But 5sts makes 1 inch, hope it helps.

@@marshaerickson156 sorry I don't..

@@grakakaufman3544 You can add 5 additional sts for increasing 1inch .

Yes I did receive it. It is so lovely.

For making the hood you will need some stitches from the front panels as well.. In my opinion first di as instructed in the tutorial and later you can pick up stitches for the hood..

I have 5sts for 1inch . And the width of the kimono I made is 9inches. So you can adjust the no of sts you cast on accordingly for the body.. And you can always adjust the leght by decreasing the rows.. Hope it helps🙂

I am sorry I didn't get what you are saying. Please tell me in detail.

No I don't you will have to follow the video 🙂

You can use a little thicker yarn if you are struggling with thinner yarn. I have noticed that Dk weight yarns also vary from brand to brand. So try out a different brand may be. Or slightly thicker yarn. I hope it helped 🙂

It’s not really the yarn that’s the problem it’s the 4 mm circular needles and the wire that gets in the way it’s a real fiddly battle. Then when I get to the casting on of the sleeve it’s impossible. Think I’ll have to admit defeat on this one. Such a shame as it’s a beautiful pattern and you make it look so easy. Thank you so much for your reply though was much appreciated 💐

@@julietaylor9256 That's a bumer because the pattern is so cute.. You can give it a shot with straight needles. But the stitches will be a bit crowded specially while working up the sleeves portion.

Ok I could give it a try on straight needles unless I try a different make of circular needles? Wonder if that be any better? What you think 🤔

@@julietaylor9256 Honestly my circular needles are the worst. They are all curled up. Mine is from Knitpro. All the circular needles that I have tend to curl up at some point. But if you have access to some good circular needles definitely give it a try. Or if you are a beginner then don't bother and go ahead with some straight needles ( Longer ones than usual).

It's a 3 ply yarn.

I used u.k. double knitting wool and size 4mm circular needles when knitting the 112 sts of sleeves and back. When doing the first side I used 2 straight needles and left the remaining sts. on the circular one. My measurement for the back was exactly 9ins. I hope this helps.

I don't for now. But I may come up with an adult version. Stay tuned to know😊
