This is absolutely brilliant! What a treasure.
Ann . . . you are very kind. Thank you. I created the series as a gift.
What a wonderful gift Cheryl! Thank you so much. 😀
You are so welcome Alexandra.
Now that my row has uneven number of stitch should I knit into knits and perl into Perl’s. It’s confusing because rib pattern is suppose to have even number of stitch’s
Yes. Knit into the knits and purl into the purls and NO . . . according to my method you are supposed to have an ODD number of sts for 1 x 1 ribbing. That’s because I’m setting you up to make a very handsome, invisible seam when it comes time to sew the seams.
Thank you, my sweater is now done. I will e-mail picture to you. I have only started to knit. I have made two scarfs and one cowl. The knitting is a little uneven and my side seams aren’t great, but your methods are wonderful and I’m looking forward to advancing.
Hope you are having a great winter. I live in Southern Utah and just got 8 inches of snow. Will be in touch.
Yay Sharpn! I look forward to getting the picture. And please know that with every project, every stitch even, you will learn and get better.
And thank you for your kind comments. It’s been years since I’ve lived where a person gets so much snow but I spent the first half of my life in that territory and still love it. I do miss it. Sometimes.
Hi Cheryl, I want my sweater to have a Henley-style placket and collar. I think the placket would be similar, but how would I do the flat collar? Thank you!
Hi Karin. I just picked up this comment tonight. I am not familiar with a “Henley-style placket and collar” and need to look it up before I answer you. Thanks for asking this question!!
While knitting this garment we have used two needle sizes, one for the ribbing and one for the body.
For the collar we are using 3 needle sizes.
How do these compare to the ones we have been using?
Is the smallest of these 3 the same as the ribbing or smaller? If the same as the ribbing, how do the other two sizes compare to that used on the body?
The smallest is the same size as the ribbing needle. The second size in the size you used for the sweater body, and the 3rd size is one size larger. This is not a hard and fast rule. It just helps the collar lie flat.
Sorry this has taken forever to answer. Among other things I had emergency triple bypass surgery at the end of August. Recovery has slowed me down a bit.
Hi Cheryl, I notice you attached the buttonhole band first. Is that becase the sweater was knitted for a little boy? When making the sweater for a little girl, is the buttonhole band still attached first since the buttons are on the opposite side of the sweater ?
Just a wonderful class !
Thank you
Hi Elaine. I generally knit the button band first, place the buttons, then knit the buttonhole band. I made these videos quite some time ago so I can’t remember if I reversed that protocol, but I don’t think so.
