Wow! This channel has the best tutorials. The finish work and edge stitches are professionally done and looks beautiful. I learned of this channel from a class I took this evening, and the instructor highly recommended it. Did not disappoint. Thank you so much 💙

[ourhighstreethome]

Making it just for me:) Beautiful❤️❤️❤️

[vickyfeller]

Gorgeous pattern and really enjoyed your explanations as you showed how to work it. I especially like the edging…something different and makes the sweater look very tailored. I think this would look lovely with a green contrast color, as then the pattern would look like a four-leafed clover!

Another winnah from Briana. Very cute!

I absolutely love all of this collection! I so wanted to purchase the entire package, but alas, I knew I must not…but I did purchase two separate patterns…this sweater and the hat🥰…thank you for making these!

[HLMCrochet]

Love this still simply very well explained and pretty colors, definitely doing this and the long cardigan inspires me. Thank you. 🩷🧶

[kerrydodson]

This is lovely and I’ve already started making it…however, I really wish you would have gone over at least one full set of the repeat rows and not just the first three. I just finished row 3 and it’s unclear to me which color I’m supposed to start row 4 with.

[taccusos]

I have just bought your pattern collection, your work is brilliant and this is my way to say thank you for these lovely tutorials! This is my fall crochet sorted… 😉🙏♥️♥️♥️
I will be using wool to crochet these pattern, slightly lighter weight, so I will swatch and choose the best size fit. I loved the gauge manual too!!!!

[hasumatipatel]

[Janski]

Really love the colours and style Briana 🥳💕

[kathy]

What a lovely cardigan! The edge stitsh is wonderfully finished looking. Did you purposely match the colors of the two front panels or did the yarn colors just match up by chance?😊

[AshtenStitches]

i seriously LOVE this! I definitely need to make this, but am wondering if it’s possible to give the sleeves a bell shape! Any advice on increasing for that with this stitch pattern? 💙
