I just saw that yarn at my local Joann’s and wondered what I could make with it. Now I know. Thanks for sharing the pattern. It is a lovely sweater.
Thank you so much!
This may be my first sweater that I will try. Thanks for sharing!
Yay! Thank you!
Question about the gauge swatch:
Since the sweater itself is in SC, is the swatch meant to be in DC?
Or should we do the swatch in SC as well?
Otherwise, I’m so excited to get started on this sweater!
Oh darn!! It’s a SC swatch. I fixed it. Sorry!
I have made afghans with this yarn but it tends to go all “ wormy” sometimes unless my tensions stays tight. DC was really “wormy”, HDC better. After wearing and washing the sweater, did the SC stay in shape? Thanks for any advice.
So far the sc has stayed together really well!
I have the hardest time deciding which side is the right side with this yarn….please help
Hi, because it’s working in rows there isn’t a “right side”. It’s just whichever you like best 🙂
I noticed on the chain 9 row on the back panel..should read total stitch of 8 at the end of each row and not 9
Love it!
Do you know how many yarns or grams you used?
On the front row after row 60 are u only doing half the row back an forth?
Yes, this will be one side of the neckline
I need help I am stuck and can’t Move past row 60 of front.
Hi! The neckline starts in the next row. Just one side of the neckline. You’ll only work about halfway across the row and then turn.
So when it says sc to 32 then you turn and start sc2tg 33 times?
Sc in 32 stitches, then sc2tog one time. The numbers at the end between the ( ) is the end count
Hi! I love this sweater. Thank you so much for the pattern.
Your pattern says: Bernat Velvet (3 skeins for S/M, 4 skeins for L/XL)
How many grams in a skein? Is it 100 gram balls or 200 gram balls?
300g 🙂
I have finished the front of the sweater and now working on the back. This is the third pattern that I have tried on the Bernat Velvet yarn and, finally, a stitch and design that works!! Thanks. I plan on adding the same cuff to the sleeves as on the front/back as I really like the way they look, so wish me luck. This may turn out to be my “go to” sweater in the fall and winter…being done in “Pomegranate”, so a lovely colour.
Hi! Yay! I’m glad you like the pattern 🙂
I’m currently making this sweater but oversized
I finished the front now the back
How has this [and the kids’ especially!] done in the wash? Worming has been a noted issue with this yarn even for crochet projects and given the [relatively] large hook size, I wanted to see how your sweaters were holding up.
Hi! These would definitely have to be hand washed 🙂 We live in AZ, so we honestly don’t get to wear crocheted sweaters much here.
Thank you for the update!
Is there an XS size pattern. My bust size is 35″ will it fit correctly if I made the small?
Hi! Small is the smallest. I have a 34″ bust. This sweater is meant to have a few inches of ease 🙂
