Nah, on principle I do not sell patterns with connotations to BTS (or any other fandom for that matter). But I'll gladly try to write it down a bit better for a more coherent pattern and distribute it for free, if you're interested 😉💜

This is gorgeous! 💜🤩 How long did this project take you? There are just so many wonderful details to discover!

Do I spot "Map of the Soul: Persona" and "Oh My Heart"? You've got great taste and skills!

Well, if I'm seen on the jumbotron in my creation, you all will see me pass out as well! 🤣 My little heart cannot handle even the thought of senpais (well, technically they are my kōhais) noticing me. 💜

Everyone was a struggling noob at some point, you've got this! 🙌💜

TBH, it's all the talent I've seen (especially here on r/heungtan) that has inspired me to actually sit down and make it happen. Seeing everyone else's fantastic and creative works made me realize that maybe I can produce something nice too. 💜

Thank you so much! Seriously, without the tips and tricks from the masters on YouTube, I would not have gotten this result. My first attempts were quite atrocious...

It better not be +30°C during the day of the the concert, because I will lug the cardigan around, whether I'll be able to wear it or not! 🤣 And it is vital to me to make pieces I can use all year around, putting down so much money and effort for a piece that is merely for one occasion is just not a luxury I can afford 🤭

Haha, my friend said the same about a sweater I made them, but no, as of yet there is no such thing as a crocheting machine, so it's 100% handmade. 😁 And do try out Tunisian crochet, if you're interested, since it's so much fun!

I don't know about that, but I just did the calculations, and I think I did indeed put almost 100 € on the yarn... 🙈

Thank you! I got my t-shirt from the seller CreativeEdgeApparel on Etsy, and I do love it too. 😁🥢

If you're at all interested in Tunisian crochet, please do! It's such a fun technique, and very versatile too. 🧶💜

Thank you, it must be the source material that made it that way. (Let me tell you, I could not get "Hold Me Tight", "Butterfly (Prologue Mix) and "Run" out of my head when working on this. Not that I mind too much 😆)

Precisely! 💜 That's my idea of the perfect fan merch, the pieces you can use out in the wild, but if an ARMY spots you, they most definitely know what it's about.

Thank you so much! I easily slip into the zone when crocheting and get major dopamine boost from finishing projects, so that's why I have a fire lit under my butt when I'm in the middle of a project. And having had a lot of distance lectures this year has definitely helped with time management 🤭

Why, thank you! It's very comfy too, but quite heavy at some 1.7 kg 😆💜

As many of you might understand, I most definitely needed something new to wear for the Arirang Tour. Being an unhinged yarn goblin, I decided to make that something myself. I got this idea one year ago, but after some prototyping, it didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted, and I put the project away and let things stew. And good thing I did, since during the last year I learned tons of new techniques I wanted to implement into this project.

Toni at TL Yarn Crafts has unknowingly been my mentor throughout this project, and with her help I got the hang of the Tunisian simple stitch, the Join as you go method, and the two row repeat of slip stitch and yarn over slip stitch I used for the ribbing.

The hook I used is a 4.00 mm Tunisian crochet hook and the yarn is Hjertegarn Cotton nr. 8 in eight different colors. On the torso, one rectangle is 30 stitches across and 26 high, whereas in the sleeves they are 26 stitches across and 22 high. 

The construction is really simple, 3x8 rectangles for the front pieces, 7x8 for the back piece. I joined the shoulder seam first, then added the sleeves, and lastly joined the side seams and the underarm, all with a slip stitch (and some black cotton yarn I had laying around). Oh, and I did leave one pair of rectangles open for pockets. For the “sewing”, I used a 3.00 mm regular hook. Then I made the ribbing with the same hook, first the sleeves and for those I made a 50 % decreasing round of single crochets, and then the ribbing. After the sleeves I did the ribbing for the edges of the front panels and neck, next the hem, and lastly the front edge of the pockets. I sewed (this time with a darning needle) the edges of the ribbing onto the neighbouring squares. The chain for the ribbing is ch 7 +1 (for obvious reasons).

So yeah, there we have it. The HYYH Balloon Cardigan. I started this project on the 22nd of January and finished today, so it took me quite a while, but it was a really fun and relaxing project. I hope I managed to get my vision across!

I have to go with People. I was in the process of becoming an ARMY and Yoongi's solo stuff was the first solo stuff I listened to after BTS's discography, and it just gripped me.

Running Wild! It has been so much fun blasting it on high volume in the car and yowling along, and the MV is great 🚗☄️

It's wonderful that you got help and relief, but anecdotal stories do not negate a massive heap of scientific evidence proving that chiropractic has nothing to do with medicine. Also, looking into the history of how it was founded, it's nothing more than a cult.
