OMW! I'm 67 - I don't knit often but when I've knitted baby jackets like this I've always done from bottom up and individual sections - front, back, two sleeves. How have I not known it can all be done as one?? I HAVE to try this. I've no one to knit for but I'm sure I can find someone to donate it too. Glad I've found your channel. It's good to knit along with you as we use the same knitting technique. I'm often thrown trying to follow someone who knits a different way to me. Best wishes. Julie in Sheffield UK.

Thank you for teaching that cast on. I've never seen it before. It makes a beautiful edge!

I truly enjoy your videos; so clear and easy to follow, step by step for a beginner … I’ve just started a top down baby shawl neck sweater so you’re a lifesaver. I will need assistance with shaping the shawl neck if you had a video on this would be perfect 👍 Thank you so much 😊

My yarn is here so I'll start this today. Grandbaby arriving first part of May :). Thanks again for the lovely videos. By the way, you have a great voice for instructing, easy listening.

Beautifully explained ❤️ Thank you so much for these 3 videos. I just started the knitting by watching these videos and successfully made a beautiful sweater for my newly born granddaughters for the very first time 🥰

hi and thank you for this pattern and the nice clear video instructions. Since I will be knitting a number of these cardigans for my first grandbaby and it is many years since I have knitted I wanted to also follow you written instructions as I am watching at half speed. At the end of the 5th row in written instructions it says I should have 50 stitches but I had less. Confusion followed and I want perfection for this first baby item. Eventually I noticed that you say cast on 40 stitches in video but 42 in written. This is not mentioned to annoy you or any bad reason but just to save the brainpower of anyone who has slow brainpower for medical reasons (like me lol). Thanks again for your efforts and free pattern 😀

Hello there Mama Wooly, I'm so excited I've made it to the button hole and its looking great, I think I can do this. Thank you so much, I've always wanted to knit I've been crocheting since I was a child and have always found knitting more difficult. But thanks to you I'm feeling more positive ill be successful. Yippee better than Christmas for me..thank you again hugs Rhonda ~

I can't wait to make this--it will be my first sweater. You explain it so well, and your voice is so easy to listen to.

Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial! I am a beginner, left-handed and I manage to make my first project with your video. Thank you!

[susanmarro]

Thank you for this pattern, I just finished the sweater and learned so much. Your instructions and video are so well done.

[nirmalasheeran]

Thanks a lot. I was searching one tutorial like this step by step, to make a cardigan. I’ve only done scarves, straight ones so long. Expecting first grandchild, desperately needed to make a cardigan. I’m going to start, as I’m already sure I can make one following you. Thanks and God bless.
