    wow your choice to do the stripes changes the overall look of the sweater a lot! I definitely think yours is prettier than the monochrome example of the pattern, great job!

    I love this pattern! And I really love what you did with the colors, it's soo festive. What kind of stitches are used in the pattern? It looks so complicated! Honestly can't believe this is your first sweater

    Beautiful! I like the moderation/softening of the red and green. Makes it good for non-Christmas wear!

    Thanks! I definitely made an effort to find colors that weren’t super bright. They’re even softer irl, the camera makes them pop a lot.

    Thank you ☺️ I just usually stick to small items cause I get bored easily so I knew the only way I could get through a sweater was to choose a pattern with a lot of new stitch variations and color changes 😆

    Oh hey I’m making this right now! I’ve decided to add multiple stripe sections because I don’t want it to be so cropped. You did a really nice job!

    parent
    3 points thislineismineee

    That’s a good idea! If I made another one I would probably try to add 1 more colored section. I had no idea it would be so cropped until I tried it on lol I knew it would be slightly cropped but my tight tension and being 5’10 made it even more so. I’m still unsure of how cropped the pattern is supposed to turn out because the pattern photos don’t show it on a person.

    parent root
    3 points Olerre

    I could tell by the end of the first pattern repeat it was going to be pretty damn short. But you’re right, the photos make it look like it should be a moderate length. I added rows to the even moss and floette sections and I added an entire additional section of the crosshatches between the floette and the second even moss section.

    Do you think this is beginner friendly??? Ive only ever made a sweater with Double crochet and it was a video tutorial.

    parent
    5 points thislineismineee

    I mean I wouldn’t say it’s beginner friendly to all beginners but it could be if you’re up for a challenge. If you have experience with ribbing from your other sweater that’ll be a huge help. I do think you’ll need to be comfortable reading patterns and charts though. There are videos showing how to do each stitch pattern but i can’t vouch for how helpful they are cause they weren’t helpful for me, but video tutorials just don’t work for my brain so they might work for other people. I spent 95% of my time looking at the chart for this pattern. The hardest parts for me were the Diamond stitch and the ribbing around the neck! I hope that helps.

    Wow this is genuinely the prettiest crochet sweater I’ve ever seen!! Is it comfortable? I know crochet isn’t usually very stretchy and can be stiff

    parent
    1 points thislineismineee

    Thank you that’s so sweet! It is actually really comfortable. It isn’t stretchy at all but it’s loose enough it’s not a problem. It’s definitely stiffer than knit would be but since it’s a lighter weight yarn it’s still very soft. I like that it feels a little structured. The only thing I can see being an issue is it’s very warm, even with some of the patterns being quite holey it holds in heat. I did use acrylic yarn tho so it would probably be better with cotton.
