This video is so unbelievably good! Your explanations are thorough yet still succinct.. I went from knowing nothing about knit shaping to having a very thorough understanding by the end of the video. So so grateful for this. Thank you!!!

I can't thank you enough! Just finished the front piece.This is my first time knitting something other than a scarf and your instructions were so easy to follow! 💖💖💖

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this incredible tutorial!! I've literally never knitted a full project in my life before making this sweater vest, so it was so so helpful that you explained each stitch in full. <3

Thank you for this video! it was my first time knitting a garment and it came out great! The front piece was a bit small for me but I was able to make a larger back and blocking also helped stretch it out. I am also a size large. I used about 900 ft to finish this.

Hello :)). I was wondering how I could make this vest a S/M size? Do you know how many stitches I’d have to cast on? (Thank u in advance 💜)

Most helpful knitting tutorial ever omfg

[marleigh]

original comment was asking what kind of yarn, i listened over once again and she said weight 4 acrylic for anyone who didn't hear that.

Hi I loved this! I was wondering how to figure out how many stitches to do for a different size? Thanks :)

[satinflowers]

Hey I'm sorry if this comes off as annoying but I am noticing that you are twisting your purl stitches; you are wrapping the yarn clockwise from the bottom up while a typical purl stitch goes counterclockwise top down. While it can be a knitting style on its own, twisted stitches have less stretch and can create tension issues when following a pattern that calls for conventional purling so I thought I'd mention it (as well as for everyone following this video)

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's too hard for me to find a tutorial for plus size folks. ❤

[martamaljkovic]

I really love how this vest looks, was looking for one just like this! Can you suggest how many stitches I should do for a size medium or small? Thank you!
