Hello everybody! Today, I'm going
-
to be showing you how to make this
-
chunkiest,
-
most amazing, sweater
-
ever.
-
This thing is literally
-
my comfort item
-
in my closet now and I love it so much.
-
I posted a TikTok about it recently, and
-
I had a few people asking for tutorials,
-
so I thought that that's what I
-
would do today.
-
I will show you how to make this
-
jumper.
-
I originally got inspired to make this
-
by this video I saw
-
on TikTok,
-
of this girl wearing the most amazing,
-
mohair, hand-knitted jumper
-
and I was like,
-
"I need to recreate this."
-
I wanted to do it my way which
-
is just like crochet, of course
-
and I wanted to use like a sort of
-
thicker yarn
-
even though I love the mohair
-
but I couldn't find anything similar.
-
So I went with this
-
really chunky,
-
it's polyester and acrylic yarn
-
but super chunky and I love it
-
so I had to recreate it.
-
I freehanded this jumper.
-
I didn't follow any
-
patterns or tutorials or anything
-
to make this. Thought I would show you
-
how to do it. Hopefully it helps.
-
I'm gonna try and do it as
-
beginner-friendly as possible and
-
hopefully it helps you guys.
-
It's not actually that hard to make
-
and it actually doesn't
-
take too long either
-
because it's really chunky yarn.
-
So, I'm gonna be using my 12 milimeter
-
hook and I hope you enjoy this tutorial
-
and I really hope it helps some of you
-
guys out. So yeah. Let's get into it!
-
The first yarn I'm using is this blue yarn
-
from Sustainable
-
Stitching,
-
which is a lion brand yarns.
-
It's a re-spun, 100% recycled polyester.
-
This is what we are gonna be using.
-
It says that
-
you need a
-
9 millimeter hook but
-
I'm going to be using a
-
12 millimeter hook today.
-
This is the Monkey
-
100% acrylic, Moda Vera yarn.
-
I got it on clearance, thankfully.
-
This also needs a 9 millimeter
-
hook, but I'm going to be using
-
my 12 millimeter hook.
-
Ok so first up
-
we're gonna be making the neckline.
-
So grab your blue yarn,
-
or whatever color yarn
-
you're working with,
-
your crochet hook,
-
I'm using my 12 millimeter one,
-
and then make a slip knot
-
(upbeat, techno music playing)
-
like so. And then you're going to
-
chain however many it takes
-
to fit around your neck
-
to the length that you want it.
-
So I'm gonna be chaining
-
52. So,
-
(quietly counting)
-
one
-
two
-
(soft, upbeat music playing)
-
Alrighty,
-
so once you got your
-
52 chains,
-
or however many you need,
-
make sure it's all
-
flat and even,
-
and then you can join it
-
to the first stitch
-
with a slip stitch. So
-
yarn it over
-
and pull it through both.
-
And that is your first chain done there!
