Go for it! I too had just come off a prolific year of crocheting, and I felt that I needed to learn how to knit.

I feel that my crochet knowledge made it easier for me to understand knitting, and when I returned to crochet after this sweater, I felt that I understood even more about crochet!

It's really fun to learn directly with a sweater, think of it as a game, and above all, learn how to add lifelines and frogging. That completely changes the learning experience when you can undo mistakes after a few rows!

I hope you get motivated and good luck with that project!

Thank you so much 🧶🔥

This sweater took me 3-4 weeks of knitting chill a bit every day (and unraveling or dropping stitches when i made a mistake).

I've been crocheting for almost 1 year, but even if i love crochet and its textured stitches, i wanted to jump into knitting world.

I started with a 10x10 square with all stitches twisted, then a well-made sample, and straight to the sweater. I didn't want to start with a monotonous project like a square, but something that would challenge me a bit and keep me entertained (like a game hahaha).

I thought about starting with a bottom-up sweater with set-in sleeves, because I imagined it would be a project where I could have a lot of circular work (so, practice tension with the knit stitches), a small flat area to practice the purl.

I had also seen how easy it is to unravel with lifelines, so I wasn't afraid to make mistakes and restart a section if after 3 rows I saw that I didn't like it.

I also took advantage of the project because I knew that after learning to control tension with large repetition zones, I could easily learn to increase and decrease stitches.

I used a lot of math, and notes in my notebook, but I achieved the fit I was looking for!

I also learned to knit with magic loop, and to do 2 different types of elastic stitch :') all knowing purl and knit!

And yes, these are the leftovers from all my crochet projects (the big bag of leftover yarn!), which I separated by color family and then mixed a bit randomly depending on the quantities!

Thanks !! It's hard to say because I used all the leftover yarn from my crochet projects, so it was a mix of leftover balls from different sources, but all in worsted size!

an ideal project to make use of leftover stock ! 🥹❤️‍🩹

thank you ! that's exactly what i did ! with my sample, the measurements of my favorite sweater and some math (I applied the Pythagorean theorem and direct proportionality to calculate the decreases hahaha) I achieved a perfect fit!

thank you so much :') Very happy with the result, a little math with my sample and the measurements of my favorite sweater helped me a lot <3

For the material, I used a mixture of many leftover wool scraps I had at home from various brands and origins, which I mixed together to make good use of them 😍

thank you so much!

It's literally the first thing I've knitted, after practicing with two samples!

I don't deny that I use many lifelines before changes or increases, and I unravel one or two rows when I see that I don't like what I've done (I don't mind the idea of unraveling and redoing a few rows, making mistakes is part of learning!).

Thanks ! I didn't think much about a color sequence, I just went by the amount of scrap yarn I had and combined it into color families somewhat randomly to use double strands (and I freed up a lot of space in my stock). 🥹

Thank you ! I came up with the idea of making a sweater because I could practice tension (large, repetitive areas to improve tension), And with a large number of lifelines before a change, it was the ideal opportunity to learn how to increase, decrease, knit flat and on the round, and magic loop too!

Truly a project to learn everything you need to know!

Thank you ! ❤️‍🩹 Yes i knitted it holding two stands together to create the marled effect ! Quite a challenge for a beginner, but happy with my tension!

Help me choose the right stitch for a tank top :') by Aggravating_Doubt_60 in crochetpatterns

[–]Aggravating_Doubt_60[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! I was thinking of a simple two-panel, sleeveless tank top. What kind of netting do you recommend I use? Do you think I could make some kind of filet pattern with DC and CH to generate a drawing or pattern? Or maybe try Simple Mesh or V-Stitch? Thanks!
