    Easy to follow

    I made this sweater after getting discouraged by other patters out there. I also watched a video on YouTube for this pattern. It turned out so well that a few coworkers asked where I bought it. I consider that high praise. The only difficulty I had was with getting the collar to look right. That’s only because I have trouble working out where decreases should go. I plan to experiment a little to add about 3 inches to the length to work better with a long torso. I’d like to see how it works up using Super Saver Blacklight, if only I could find a supply.

    Easy ro Follow Instructions

    I downloaded this pattern last year, and made it for my very tall son for Christmas this year. It was an easy pattern to follow, but because my son is taller than what the pattern calls for it was easy to add rows to make the sweater a 3xlt for him

    Not bad, but could use extra info

    Not a bad pattern. It’s pretty simple to execute all the parts and the instructions do make sense. My only complaint is that there are no instructions for sewing the sweater together. It’s literally one sentence and honestly it didn’t make any sense to me. So I had to wing sewing together (which isn’t difficult if you have experience sewing pieces together already). However, because of the lack of sewing instructions, I did have to undo some of my sewing. So a couple of tips for anyone who might make this: - Don’t immediately sew the entire sleeve together from cuff to the top. You’ll want to leave a couple of inches unsewn because you sew the top of the sleeve to the little armpit part that you make for the front and back panels. That might be obvious to some people, but for me it wasn’t since this was my first sweater that made actual indents for armholes/sleeves. - Doing the bottom edging slip stitch makes the cuffs and bottom of the sweater REALLY tight. It removes any kind of give or stretch those spots would have. - The pattern calls for 7 skeins of red heart super saver if making a size medium. That is way too much. I used a different brand which has only 16 more yards than RHSS and I only used 4 skeins with still about half of the fourth skein leftover. Do with that information what you will. It really is a decent pattern, it just could definitely use some extra information as far as sewing goes and maybe a revision of how much yarn is needed.

    nice

    made this sweater, did not come in the size I wanted so I modified it a little and it looks amazing my grandpa loved it. I wanted to make more. it was easy to follow, mark, and read. I used the video tutorial as well from Yarnspirations. This is the first sweater I had made and I love how it turned out. it is also sturdy, like its made to last, I tried to double sew all the seams and my grandpa has worn it a few winters in a row, it can be machine washed on gentle with woolite and laid flat to dry and still looks amazing. thank you for making this patter my family really enjoys it.

    Do not recommend

    I started this project because it said it was an easy pattern and it was my first time crocheting a clothing item but the instructions were all over the place. The stitch counts don't add up correctly in some parts and overall it was just hard to follow and understand. Would not recommend.

    Used this plan for a Halloween costume.

    Easy to follow. Check out the YouTube video from The Crochet Crowd for clarification on attaching the sleeves.

    • Hello! We’re sorry you’re having a difficult time with the sleeves and we are happy to help you on your way! Let’s take a look at the instructions together. SLEEVES Next row: Ch 2. Skip first hdc. 1 hdc With smaller hook, ch 33. in each hdc to end of row. Turn. Foundation row: (RS). 1 dc in 4th ch from hook and each ch to end of chain. Turn. 31 dc. - The skipped chains at the beginning of the row count as a dc, which leaves you with 31 dc at the end of the row. Change to larger hook. 1st row: (RS). Ch 2. Skip first st. 1 hdc in each st to end of row. Turn. 2nd row: Ch 2. Skip first hdc. 1 hdc in each hdc to end of row. Turn. - At the end of each of these rows, you should have 31 hdc (the ch-2 at the beginning counts as 1hdc). 3rd row: (RS). Ch 2. 1 hdc first hdc. 1 hdc in each hdc to last hdc. 2 hdc in last hdc. Turn. 33 hdc. - The 3rd row increases by 2 hdc. Please see the underlined portion of the 3rd row. This shows where the increases are happening. The 4th row is worked like the 1st and 2nd rows. Rep last 2 rows 7 (11-13-17-17) times more. 47 (55-59-67-67) hdc. All the sizes work as written in the pattern.

    Easy and quick

    Wanted to make a special jumper for my son-in-law. This pattern was very easy to follow and looks great made up.

    Simple but confusing

    It was simple in a way but very confusing instructions. I’ll probably do another since now o kind of understand it better.

    I’m not sure if you are aware, but someone named Jollynova is selling this pattern on Etsy. It’s the exact same pattern and the instructions - down to color coding for size - are identical. Someone should look into this

    Pattern instruction issue on slp st bottom section. I can't seem to find it on the video. Is this a mistake?

    Tang561

    Is this uk or us crochet stitches?

    Jenny215981

    To get the gauge right, I went down to 6.5 mm hook. Does that seem correct? A 10mm home have me a 6-inch square

    Henryjz1

    can I use red heart soft yarn instead of super saver?

    Breathe1

    Why skip a stitch and still expect there to be the same amount of stitches in the next row it's makes no sense

    Insom871

    Hiya, great pattern but how do I attach it all together please?

    Livlovecrochet1

    Is this pattern done with one strand or two of yarn?

    Jackie M1

    Does the measurement of 16.5 inches include the ribbing?
