Making the Chunky V-Neck Sweater of My Dreams | How to Knit DIY Handmade Jumper Step-by-Step

In this video I show you how to knit a chunky V-neck sweater - I'm calling this one the "Cozy V-Neck Sweater". I really wanted a chunky, oversized, V-neck sweater in my wardrobe and this sweater is what dreams of made of!! I also go into detail how exactly I shape and knit the V-neck - this technique is also used in my latest pattern, the Classic V-Neck Vest, which is now available to purchase on my Etsy! Link below :)

I hope this helps! Thank you for watching.

[miahmichelle]

I saw your blue v-neck sweater on your Instagram first and now I can make it!!

[jemimahart]

I love wool and the gang yarns and your patterns are gorgeous but as you said, it is just too expensive for me without yarn substitutions! For other cheapo beginners like me I recommend paintbox yarns simply super chunky yarn (which is acrylic and like £3) from lovecrafts which has almost the same guage!

[sherrijohnson]

Thank you for adding in the curve line during the shaping of the neck its helps alot.

[kalys]

So beautiful and this color is everything!

[katharinazuber]

[annabirgitta]

Can i find the needle size and yarn thickness if I by the pattern? Love this sweater

[nidakhan]

How did you combine the two halves??how did you continue the v neck into the front lower
What thread did you use for it?? The main one or the other one we slid

[nancyrobertson]

[cathryncampbell]

I would LOVE to buy the pattern for this Chunky V-Neck sweater. I checked your Etsy shop -- but it's not listed there. Is there any chance that you'll offer this lovely pattern for sale?

[monicalindberg]

Do you make the back up till the neck and then cast on for the front inside the back?
😊 Really curious
😊

[yiagsit]

İ just clicked on your video and realised i saw the sweater behind of you(with heart on it) on instagram

I'm new to knitting sweaters and hoping to make a v-neck for my 2nd sweater, could this sweater be made using worsted weight yarn instead of chunky yarn?

[mara]

It will be nice if you start from beginning to end. Suggesting the many stitches to use depending the size and the type and thickness of yarn used...
