and five millimeter hook scissors stitch

written pattern down below used offer code TCDDIY for a discount watch the end
of the video to learn how to enter this
week's giveaway using three stitches for
this project and they will be as follows
Shane slip stitch single crochet and
double crochet this tutorials for a size
small but you can adjust it for your
size and we explain how to in the video
so let's get started getting this
cardigan started we are first gonna grab
our category for yarn make a slipknot
then grab our two and a half millimeter
hook and start off by making a chain
that reaches around the base of our neck
so I'm going to go ahead and make a
chain of nineteen and a half inches or
50 centimetres and that comes out to 110
chains now that we have our chain what
we're gonna do from here is going with a
row of double crochets with some
increases so we're gonna block off that
last chain do a chain up of three that
counts as a double crochet we're going
to prepare for a double crochet and then
we're gonna bring it on down to that
fourth loop where the look that we
blocked off with our thumb with a double
crochet I'm gonna go in just like that
and then from here we're just going to
go in with a total of four double
crochet and they're gonna increase into
the fifth and that is going to be the
pattern for the rest of this chain so
I'm gonna go in with my four double
crochet once we have our four double
crochet what we're gonna do from here
into the fifth is just go in with two
double crochet into there so there is
one and we have to put one more into
that same loop and that makes our
increase into the fifth oh it's not
split they are now guys
and that is the pattern for the rest of
our chains so just as a reminder for a
double crochet increase into the fifth
for a double crochet increase of two
into the fifth go ahead and keep doing
that all the way around and then I'll
meet you guys back now that we've just
gone in with our first row of double
crochets where we did an increase of two
into every fifth now we're going to
start doing some front post and back
post double crochets but into the first
and last posts we will be doing an
increase so let's get that started once
we get here we're going to start off by
doing a chain up of three we're gonna
flip our work and then into this first
post that we have the chain above three
is on top of this other chain above
three or the last double crochet in the
last row so into this next post we're
going to be doing our increase of two
front post double crochets so we're
going to prepare for a front post double
crochet we're just going to insert our
hook behind this next post bring it on
through the other side once we have that
we're going to double crochet kind of
like normal we're gonna yarn over pull
through the only difference is that once
we get here we're going to yank our work
up just a little bit so that it's the
same level as our chain up of threes so
that it's all the same level once we get
here we're gonna yarn over pull through
two yarn over pull through two and that
is our first front post double crochet
we're gonna need to do another one into
that same post this is our increase so
we're gonna prepare for another one go
into that same post that we just went
into with another front post double
crochet yarn over pull through yank our
work up just a little bit yarn over pull
through two yarn over pull through two
and that is our two front post double
crochets into that first post that we
have that is our increase now once we
have that we're going to be doing a back
post and then front post back post front
post we're just going to alternate like
that so let's do our back post together
we're going to prepare for a at double
crochet and then we're going to take our
hook and then insert it behind our work
so this part can be a little tricky
could be a little tight so go ahead and
separate this beforehand we're going to
insert our hook behind our work and then
over this next post that we have right
here then bring it on through to the
other side this is what it should look
like on top
once we have that we're going to yarn
over pull through and then same deal
yank up just a little bit yarn over pull
through two yarn over pull through two
and that is our front post and back post
we're going to do one more set of a
front post and a back post together so
we're gonna prepare for another front
post double crochet go behind that next
available post that we have and then
bring it on through the other side once
we have that we're going to yarn over
pull through that post pull up just a
little bit yarn over pull through two
yarn over pull through two that is just
one front post double crochet once we
have that now we're going to do one back
post into the post right after that so
prepare for a double crochet insert our
hook behind our work going over this
next post that we have so over that next
post this is what it should look like on
sweater top manufacturer we're gonna yarn over pull through
yank up just a little bit yarn over pull
through two yarn over pull through two
and just as a refresh into this first
loop that we have or into this first
post my bad we have an increase of two
front post double crochets a back post
double crochet front post back post and
we're gonna keep alternating just like
that until we get all the way down to
this end and then I'll meet you guys
back so that we can do another increase
of two post double crochets into that
last stitch so we've just made our way
all the way down with our front and back
post double crochets and like I said
before we are going to need to do an
increase of whatever post we have left
into our second-to-last stitch and then
into that last one we're going to go in
with a regular double crochet so let's
get that started together the last
stitch that I did was a front post
double crochet so my next increase is
actually going to be a back post double
crochet so the opposite of what we
started with so we're going to start off
by yarning over we're going to insert
our hook behind our work we're gonna be
yarn over pull through yank up just a
little bit here and over pull through
two yarn over pull through two that's
the first one we're gonna have to do one
more this could be a little tricky so to
stick with me we're going to yarn over
insert our hook behind our work but when
it comes to this part we're act
just gonna be going over what we just
did we don't have to go in through this
way you can just work over here just
like that and then from here yarn over
this cart could be tricky to pull over
just like that
yarn over pull through - there we go
you're no over pull through two then
once we have our last increase yours
could be a front post or a back post
does not matter just as long as you guys
are into the second to last stitch y'all
are in good shape pull once when we're
here we're just going to go in with a
double crochet to make sure that this
side is nice and closed off and even so
once when we have this we're going to be
skipping this next loop that we have
because if we go into here that's going
to count as an extra increase and we
don't want that so we're just gonna go
into that last loop with a double
crochet just like that once all you got
in with our two rows this is what our
work should be looking like and now we
can actually start going in with our
front border so from where we're at
we're going to measure all the way down
to where we want the bottom of our
cardigan to be making sure that we are
leaving just a couple inches because we
are going to have a bottom border as
well I'm going to leave about two inches
at the bottom so I'm gonna start off by
making a chain that comes out to 13
inches or 33 centimeters or that's a
total of 78 chains now that we have our
front border chain what we're going to
start off now that we have our front
border chain what we're gonna start off
by doing is blocking off our last chain
and doing a chain up of three that
counts as a double crochet from here
we're gonna prepare for a double crochet
and then insert our hook into that loop
that we blocked off or the fourth loop
from our hook with a double crochet and
then from here we're just going to work
our way all the way down our chain that
we just made putting one double crochet
into every chain going all the way down
until we have just one loop left and
then we'll meet eachother back because
we're going to be doing an increase of
two double crochets into there and now
that we've made our way all the way down
to our last stitch what we're gonna do
from here is do an increase of two
double crochets so all it is is
preparing for a double crochet going
into that last stitch that we have with
one double crochet and we're going to be
putting one more into that same loop
here is our second into that same loop
once we have this we are going to I
guess flip the base so that we can slip
stitch into the base if yours is already
flipped in this direction then y'all are
doing quite alright pull once we get
here we're going to be slip stitching
into that second loop so we're going to
count up one count up two we're going to
slip stitch into that second loop that
we have to close off this first row that
we made for ourselves then once we have
that where you are going to need to work
our way up to the next row so you're
going to slip stitch up the next two
loops into the base so that we can start
up our next rule once when you have slip
stitch into those next two we are going
to be flipping our work and then now
we're going to be working with more
ribbing so more front and back post
double crochets but into this first one
we are going to be doing an increase so
this is gonna be another increase of
front post double crochets so all that
is is preparing for a front post go into
that first double crochet that we have
we're probably gonna have to pop it out
a little bit once we have that we are
going to insert our hook behind that
double crochet post yarn over pull
through yank up just a little bit yarn
over pull through two yarn over pull
through two then once we have that we're
gonna be doing one more into that same
post so prepare for a double go behind
that double crochet post yarn over pull
through yank up yarn over pull through
two yarn over pull through two once we
have that guy we're next gonna be going
into that next post that we have with a
back post double crochet so same exact
sequence that we did for the collar
we're just gonna do this next one
together we're gonna prepare for a back
post double crochet insert our hook over
that next post that we have and through
the other side once we have that we're
going to yarn over pull through yank up
just a smidge yarn over pull through two
yarn over pull through two and then from
here just alternate going all the way
down with front and back post double
crochets until we hit the very end and
then I'll meet you guys back and now
that we've made our way all the way down
to the end what we're going to do from
here is do a chain up of one and cut and
then we're just going to do the same
exact thing that we did here on the
other side of our collar and the only
tip that I have
for you guys is once when we're going in
with the other front border that we have
on the other side of our collar just
make sure that we're inserting it into
the correct spot so you're going to want
to lay it down making sure that it's
flat and going in a circle and then
you're going to insert your hook into
this bottom corner right here and start
off by making the same chain count that
you guys just made go up with double
crochet is doing an increase of two into
that last chain do a do two slip
stitches going all the way up and then
do front and back post double crochets
remembering to do an increase into that
first stitch that we have and then you
guys will go for as many rows as you
guys have you guys know that I just have
these two rows so I'm gonna stop right
after there and then I'll meet you guys
back so we have just finished up going
in with both of our front panels that we
have and right here and now we can start
going around with our body portion so
the first thing we're going to do is
flip our work upside down so that our
collar the round part is faced down
towards us and the front panels are
faced away from us and what we're going
to do is that we're going to start
working into the left side and we're
going to find this first available loop
that we have that is in this front panel
that is right next to the corner right
here where the front panel meets the
collar so we're going to insert our four
millimeter hook into that first loop in
the front panel insert our yarn onto our
hook we're going to pull through and
then we're going to go into the first
loop that we have into the collar the
first available loop with an increase of
two single crochets so this is our first
available loop so we're going to go in
here with one single crochet and we're
gonna go in with one more into that same
loop just like that and then from here
we're gonna go all the way down with
single crochets just putting one into
every loop going around the entirety of
our collar once when we hit this last
loop right here we're going to be doing
another increase of two single crochet
they're gonna slip stitch into the first
loop that we have into our front panel
so I'll meet you guys back once we reach
our way over to this corner so we're
just made our way all the way around
with a row of single crochet leaving
this last loop into this section so that
we can do our increase of two single
crochets together
and then we're going to slip stitch into
the front panel and then we're going to
start off our next where together as
well so into this lawsuit that we have
right over here we're just gonna go in
with two single crochets into that last
loop so there is one and then just one
more there is two once when we have that
we're going to take a look at this first
loop that we have into this front panel
we're going to slip stitch into that
loop this might be a little tricky
because we did go in with a two and a
half millimeter hook so it could be a
little small but just work with me just
like that once we have that we're going
to be slip stitching up the next two
loops because we're going to have to do
a row of double crochets so there's one
slip stitch and then there's two slip
stitches once when we have that we are
going to be flipping our work and now
we're going to go in with a row of
double crochet while maintaining the
increases into the loop that's right
next to the front panel on both sides so
let's just do that together as well
so we're going to prepare for a double
crochet insert our hook into that first
loop that we have with an increase of
two double crochets so there is one
double crochet and then here is another
once we have that we're going to be
putting one double crochet into every
loop going all the way around I'll meet
y'all back once we get to this last loop
so that we can do our increase of two
double crochets and then work our way up
to the next where together as well so
just made our way all the way around
with our double crochet row leaving this
last loop for us to go into because
we're going to be doing another increase
of two double crochets at the very end
so just into this last loop we're going
to be putting two double crochets so
there is one and then we're going to be
doing one more two into that same loop
once and we have that we're going to be
slip stitching into the second available
loop that we have into the side of this
front panel that we have right here so
we're going to count up one two slip
stitch into that second loop to close
off this row and to work our way back
we're just going to be going in with one
more row of single crochets so all we're
going to do is slip stitch into that
next available loop we're gonna flip our
work and we're still going to be
maintaining the increases that we have
that's right next to the front panels so
into this first loop we're going to go
in with two single crochets after that
put one single crochet into every loop
going all the way around once we hit
this last one do another increase of two
single crochets and then we'll slip
stitch into the next available loop that
we have into the front panel and then
I'll meet you guys back so we have just
made our way across with our row of
single crochet where we did increases
into the first and the last stitch that
we have in the row and then now we are
going to start with our Alpine sections
so I've already slip stitched into the
next available that we had into this
front border that we have and now our
Alpine's is going to have to start with
a double crochet so we're going to be
slip stitching up the next to available
loops to start off our Alpine row so
we're going to slip stitch up one and
then slip stitch up to one so we have
that we will be flipping our work now
that we flip to work now we're ready to
start going in with our Alpine section
and going into every Alpine row that we
have we will not be doing an increase so
just to start this row off we're going
to start off with a regular double
crochet so we're going to prepare for a
double crochet insert our hook into that
next available loop with a regular
double crochet and then since we are
here we're ready to do a front post
double crochet but we are going to be
inserting our hook into this first
double crochet that we've just made in
the previous double crochet row so we're
going to prepare for a double crochet go
into that first post that we have in the
previous double crochet row I'm going to
insert our hook behind that just like if
we were doing a regular front post
double we're gonna yarn over pull
through the only difference once we get
here we're going to do a little yank up
so that it's the same level as a double
crochet as we just made I'm here we're
gonna double crochet like normal so yarn
over pull through two yarn over pull
through two then once we have that we're
gonna do this set all over again all
throughout the rest of this row so let's
just do this again we're going to
prepare for a double crochet we're gonna
be skipping one loop in the previous row
because the front post double that we
just made counts as this loop that we
just did so we're gonna insert our hook
into the second loop with a regular
double crochet just like that and then
once we have that we will be
for a double crochet and we're going to
go in with another front post double so
this regular double crochet that we just
did is directly on top of this second
double crochet that we have in the
previous double crochet row so we're
going to be skipping this next post and
then going into the post right after
that so skipping this next post insert
our hook into this next loop yarn over
pull through we're going to yank up here
and over pull through two yarn over pull
through two let's just do the set one
more time just a little bit faster we're
going to prepare for sweater top manufacturer a double skip one
loop in the back insert our hook into
that second loop in the previous row and
then we're going to be doing another
front post double so we're gonna skip
this next post because this double
crochet is directly on top of that guy
go into the post right after that with a
front post double and we're just gonna
keep going back and forth just like this
going all the way down once we hit our
last loop on this row I'll meet you guys
back so that we can work our way up to
the next rows together now that we've
made our way all the way around with our
first row of our Alpine stitches next
we're going to go in with a row of
single crochet because our Alpine
stitches are not reversible so they're
always going to need to start off on
this side so the first thing we're gonna
do is slip stitch up this next available
loop that we have into this front border
that we have to work our way up to the
single crochet row once we have that we
will be flipping our work and then into
that first stitch that we have are going
to be going in with an increase of two
single crochets because we're going to
be doing increases into the first and
into the last loops when it comes to our
single crochets so into here we're gonna
go in with one single crochet and then
two once we have that we're gonna be
going in putting one single crochet into
every loop going all the way around and
I'll meet you guys back once we have
just one loop left so we can go in with
our increase and then also slip stitch
into the next row together so we've just
made our way all the way down with our
single crochet row and we did leave that
last loop so that we can go in with our
increase of two single crochets together
so just ending off this row we're going
to go into that last loop with one
single crochet and then into that last
stitch another single crochet once we
have that we will be slip stitching of
this next available loop that we have to
close off this row
and now we're going to do another row of
Alpine so we're going to slip stitch up
the next two loops so there's one and
there's two once we have that we will be
flipping our work and for that Alpine
section it's going to be the same
sequence that we made but instead of
doing a front post double crochet on top
of each other so that we get a ribbing
it's going to be in each window that we
have so a front post double is going to
be on top of this double crochet on top
of this front post double is going to be
a regular double crochet but since we do
have an increase in to the previous
single crochet row it's going to be done
just a little bit differently so our
first gonna start off with a double
crochet a regular one even though
there's a regular double crochet in the
previous row that's only because we do
have this extra loop because we just did
an increase so to start off this next
row we're going to prepare for a double
crochet go into that first loop that we
have with a regular double crochet once
when we have that we will be preparing
for a front post double and then we're
going to insert into this first regular
double crochet that we have in our
previous Alpine stitch row so we have
our yarn over we're gonna go into this
first double crochet behind that post
yarn over pull through yank up just a
little bit yarn over pull through two
yarn over pull through two once we have
that we're gonna prepare for a double
crochet and we have a regular double
crochet to go into right after this so
we're gonna be skipping one loop in the
back and then inserting our hook into
the loop right after that with a regular
double crochet and let's just do this
sequence one more time we're going to
prepare for a double crochet go into
that next double crochet post that we
have not the front post double I'm going
to go into that regular double with a
front post double and then from here
prepare for a double crochet skip one
loop in the back insert your hook into
the loop right after that with a regular
double once we have this we're going to
keep doing this all the way around I'll
meet you guys back once we get to the
end of this row so we are back with our
second Alpine stitch row and what we
have left is just one regular double
crochet and then two loops up on top so
into that regular double crochet we are
still going to be doing our front post
double and then we're going to be
putting one double crochet into that
last loop just to maintain the same
pattern that we've been doing so
with this Alpine so we're going to
prepare for a front post double go into
that last double crochet post you're
gonna yarn over pull through let's try
that one more time
yarn over pull through yank up just a
little bit yarn over pull through two
yarn over pull through two I'm here
we're gonna prepare for a double crochet
skip one loop in the back and then
double crochet into that last one that
we have but if your last loop just so
happens to be a front post double that
is completely fine we're still going to
go into that the same way that we would
as if we were going into it normally I
just wanted to give you guys a visual
but once we get here we are going to
slip stitch into the second loop that we
have into this front border so we're
going to count up one count up to two
close off this row and as you guys
should know this next row that we're
going to be doing is a single crochet so
we're going to slip stitch up that next
available loop flip our work and then
put an increase of two single crochets
into the first and the last stitch that
we have and just put one single crochet
into every loop that we have in between
there and then we're going to keep going
back and forth like this alternating
between our Alpine stitch row and our
single crochet row until this reaches
almost the tips of our shoulders but
remembering once when we're going in
with our Alpine stitches the front post
Devils do need to be staggered so after
we go in with our single crochet our
next Alpine stitch row is going to be
the same as the first Alpine stitch row
that we had because it needs to be on
top of the regular double crochets just
like that and while we're doing these
next few rows we're going to want to
make sure that we end on an Alpine
stitch row so that we can get started on
the rest of this on the same rows but
I'll meet you guys back in just a few
rows so that we can move on from there
so we've just made it back with our
single crochet and Alpine rose and now
I'm at the tip of my shoulder and now I
can get started on the rest of the body
portion and just let you guys know I did
try this on and insert some stitch
markers along the sides and this is just
for our sleep so we're first gonna want
to try this on and then insert our
stitch marker right over our underarm in
the front and then in the same spot
along the back and the measurements that
I have for my stitch markers are I'm
just going to show you guys one side
from this front border all the way into
the front of my underarm add a total of
5 inches or 13 centimeters
I did insert my hook into the twenty
first loop that I had and also keep in
mind that when you guys are inserting
your stitch markers try to make sure
that you're inserting them into the
regular double crochet stitches that we
have not into the front post double
crochets so that once we go in with the
next section we're all going to end up
doing the same thing and then moving
over to our second stitch marker that I
have which is the back portion counting
from the first stitch that we have right
here all the way down to the second
stitch marker I inserted my stitch
marker into the forty-fifth loop or this
is just about six-and-a-half inches or
17 centimeters apart from this first
stitch marker that we have and then I
just did the same thing that we did here
along the other side and once when we
have this we're now going to go in with
our single crochet row but we have two
things to keep in mind we aren't going
to be doing any more increases because
we're going to be doing increases right
where our stitch markers are and then
also we will be switching out to our 5
millimeter hook just to give it a little
bit more flow so this part should be
fairly simple we're not going to be
doing any increases into the single
crochet row so just slip stitch up just
one loop that we have into this front
border single crochet all the way across
making sure that you guys are inserting
your stitch markers into the same loops
that they are currently in into our
Alpine row and then I'll meet you guys
back once we've made our way all the way
back down now that we've just made our
way all the way down with our single
crochet row where we didn't do any
increases and we have also inserted our
stitch markers into the same loops that
they were in in the previous row now
we're going to get started on our Alpine
row where we're going to start doing
increases right where the stitch markers
are and since we didn't do any increases
into the single crochet row it's going
to start off just a little bit different
so let's get that started together
I have already slip stitched into the
front panel that I have and did two slip
stitches up so that we can get started
with our Alpine row and since we didn't
do any increases we're actually just
going to start off by putting one front
post double crochet into this first
regular double crochet that we have so
we're going to prepare for a front post
insert into that first regular double
crochet that we have into our previous
Alpine row from here we're going to yarn
over pull through Inc up yarn over pull
through yarn over pull through two once
we have that we're going to prepare for
a double crochet skip
one loop in the back insert our double
crochet into the second loop that we
have in the previous row and then that's
it let's do this just one more time a
little bit faster we're gonna prepare
for a front post and set our hook into
the regular double crochet post that we
have in the previous Alpine row here and
over pulls through yank up yarn over
pull through two yarn over pull through
two we're gonna prepare for a double
crochet skip one loop in the back insert
our hook into that second loop that we
have and we're just going to keep doing
this pattern going all the way down I'll
meet you guys back once we had our
stitch marker so just made it down with
our Alpine stitches all the way down to
our first stitch marker that we have and
all we're gonna do is do an increase of
three front post double crochets so
let's do that right now we're going to
take this guy out for now and then into
this next stitch that we have which is a
regular double crochet we're going to
prepare for a front post double we're
going to insert our hook behind that
double crochet yarn over pull through
yank up yarn over pull through two yarn
over pull through two and we're gonna be
doing two more into that same stitch so
yarn over into that same post yarn over
pull through yank up here and over pull
through two yarn over pull through two
and just one more into that same stitch
yank up your nowhere pull through two
yarn over pull through two once when we
have that we will be inserting our
stitch marker into the middle of that
increase of three that we just made for
ourselves and then once when we get
there we're going to continue on with a
regular pattern that we've been doing so
all we're gonna do is skip one loop in
the back insert our hook into the next
loop that we have with a regular double
crochet as if we didn't do an increase
of three so once when we have that we're
just going to maintain doing the same
pattern going all the way down and then
do the same increase of three once we
hit our next stitch marker and then
every stitch marker there after that and
then from there I do single crochets all
the way back making sure that we're not
doing any increases and do any of the
stitches and that'll meet you guys back
alright so we are back we have just
finished up going in with our first
Alpine row where we did our increases of
three into where stitch markers were and
we did our single crochets back and once
when we get here we're actually just
going to keep doing this road
we just did repeating until this length
is long enough to fit underneath our
underarms so that we can cinch that in
and then we can go in with the body from
there but since our Alpine's are
basically worked into to alpine rose
where they just kind of window each
other I just wanted to start off the
second one with you guys show you guys
how this increase is gonna look and then
from there I'll just let you guys keep
going back and forth from there until
we're ready to close up the underneath
of our armhole and then we can go on
with the body from there so let's just
get this row started and then we can
keep going back and forth from there so
once when we are here we have made it
all the way down with our single crochet
row we have slip stitch into the front
panel and then also done our two slip
stitches going up to start off our
Alpine row and then once when we are
here all we're gonna do is flip our work
like use you will usual and once we get
here since these are basically done in
Windows we're just gonna do the opposite
of whatever was the first stitch that we
have in this row so since this first
stitch was a front post you guys may or
may not be able to see but this is a
front post double crochet we're just
going to be doing a double crochet
directly on top of that so that we can
maintain our windowing of our outline
section so once then we have this double
crochet we're gonna prepare for a front
post go into this next double crochet
with a front post double crochet and
then just keep doing this all the way
down until we hit our stitch marker I'll
meet you guys back so that we can do
that together and then from there I'll
just let you guys how about it and now
that we've made our way down to our next
stitch marker what we're gonna do from
here is just do another increase of
three front post troubles so I did leave
this entire increase of three years so
that we can work into this ourselves so
the last post that I did was a front
post trouble and we're just going to
continue it on just like normal so we're
going to be skipping one loop in the
back prepare for a double crochet double
crochet into that next loop and then
that next stitch that we have is where
our stitch markers into so we're going
to take this guy out for now and then
into this middle stitch that we have
into this increase of three front post
troubles we're going to go in with
another increase of three front post
troubles so into that middle stitch
yarn over pull through yank up pull
through two pull through two into that
same post yarn over pull through yank up
pull through two pull through two and we
have one more to do
yarn over insert your nowhere pull
through pull through two pull through
two and that is our increase that we
will be maintaining for all the other
stitch markers that we have and for
every row that we have there after well
once when we are here we're going to
prepare for another double crochet we're
going to be skipping just one loop that
we have into the back and then inserting
our hook into that second loop that we
have with a double crochet we're gonna
insert our stitch marker back into that
middle stitch that we have into this
increase of three and then maintain this
increase into every stitch marker that
we have and we're just gonna keep going
back and forth like this until this
portion reaches underneath our arms so
that we can create an armhole and when
you guys are working in these next few
rows make sure that you guys end on a
double crochet row because when we're
going to combine our arm holes together
we're going to do that with a single
crochet row so I'll meet you guys back
just after a few rows so we are back and
we have just finished going in with this
top portion and now we're ready to start
connecting this underarm portion and
then we'll just make rounds with the
body so just to let you guys know from
the top all the way down to the bottom
where I ended I did end on an Alpine row
or double crochet row but if you guys
want to call it and I did end on my 26th
row and I have a total of seven inches
or 18 centimeters but if you guys need
your arm holes to be bigger because
that's what we're measuring right now if
you guys need your arm holes to be
bigger than go ahead and just keep
making this as long as you guys need
until these corners can reach your
underarm comfortably but this is pretty
good for me so my next row our next row
should be a row of single crochets so
all I'm gonna do is just work my way up
with a slip stitch the way that we've
been doing and in single crochet all the
way down until we hit our little
increase of three front post double so
that we have and then I'll meet you guys
back to show you guys what to do okay so
we have just made our way all the way
down with our single crochets all the
way down until we got into our increase
of three front post double crochets and
what we're going to do is put one single
crochet into the fur
and the second or the middle front most
of whatever you guys want to call it and
then from there we're going to turn our
work and then insert our hook and
through the middle of this section of
increase of the front post double Zanden
single crochet on back down so let's
just show you guys how to do that really
quickly so for everyone we're just going
to single crochet all the way down until
we hit that middle stitch that we have
into the increase of three front post
double just like that my single crochet
is right on top once when we have those
two we can now turn our work upside down
because we will be going into the back
portion now and then once when we have
this we're going to want to find the
middle of our increase of three front
post double on the other side and mine
just so happens to be right here so I'm
going to be inserting my hook into that
middle stitch that we have into our
increase of three front post double into
the section that's right underneath and
this forms our armhole right here on the
side but once we get there all we're
going to do is just do a single crochet
no slip stitches no nothing but once we
have that single crochet we're going to
single crochet going all the way down
until we hit this next increase of three
front post double x' and then we're
going to keep going in so we hit that
second front post double in this
increase of three turn our work again
and then insert it into this middle
front post double and then single
crochet on down leaving this armhole
over here as well and then from there we
can start working on the body portion
which is just the same thing but now
we're just working in the rounds we
don't need to do any increases but I'll
meet you guys back once we're done with
this single crochet row so that we can
move on with the body section together
alrighty so we have just single crochet
all the way around forming our arm holes
on both sides don't find the stitch
marker that's for me but once we get
here now we're just going to go in the
rounds not going in through our arm
holes with our Alpine stitches so this
is going to be fairly simple just
whatever you guys see in the previous
row just do the opposite so since I have
a regular double crochet I'm just gonna
be going in with a front post double
just like that and we're just going to
continue on doing this portion until we
hit our little section that we have
right here where we did our single
crochets on one side to the next and
I'll just show you guys what we have to
do from that and then
from there I'll let you guys just keep
going in the rounds until we've made our
way all the way down this little front
border that we have right here so I meet
you guys back in about two seconds so
we've just made our way all the way down
with our Alpine stitches until we got to
these two single crochets that we have
in the previous row that connects the
front to the back forming our armhole
and just into these two loops for just
going to be going in with a decrease of
two double crochets even though we just
ended off with a double crochet but once
when we get here we're just doing that
so that we can do the next Alpine row
and then everything will be exactly the
same after that so what we're gonna do
from here is prepare for a double
crochet insert our hook into that first
single crochet I guess the last thing or
crochet in this section yarn over pull
through and then into the first single
crochet that we have on the other side
yarn over pull through we're going to
yarn over pull through three yarn over
pull through two and then from here
since we have this post right here we're
just going to do one double crochet into
the stitch right after that and then
continue on with doing our work just
like regular so continue on with doing
one front post one regular double
crochet one front post one regular and
then that will be the only difference
that we have into this section once we
go in with our next Alpine row it'll be
a regular double crochet because these
two will be front post double is regular
double crochet and then everything will
be exactly the same after that I just
wanted to make sure that we all ended up
with the same deal over here now once we
have this we're gonna do the same thing
that we have on the other side and then
from there just keep going back and
forth with our single crochets and then
Alpine's making sure that every other
Alpine Row is staggered so since this
one started off on the front post double
we're going to do a regular double on
top of that to our front post double on
top of this double right here while
maintaining that single crochet row in
between but there aren't going to be any
increases or decreases into the section
we're just going to keep going all the
way down until we don't have any more
loops left to go into it into this front
border and then from there we'll be done
with the body portion ish because we
still have to do the bottom border but
that will pretty much be all done and
this is fairly simple so go ahead and do
this and then I'll meet you guys back
so we are back and we have just finished
up going in with the entirety of our
body portion and going in from the
underarm portion I have a total of 8
inches or 21 centimeters or if we're
counting rows all the way up from the
top I have a total of 52 rows but now we
can go into the bottom border and that's
going to be exactly the same way that we
have done our front panel and also our
collar so we will be switching out our
hook to our 4 millimeter hook and then
the first thing we're going to want to
do is just insert our hook in through
any one of these loops now that our hook
is in through this corner we're going to
first start off by doing a row of double
crochet but into this first side double
we're going to be going in with two
double crochets into each side double
that we have so we're going to start off
by doing a chain up of three that counts
as a double into this first side double
go in with two double crochets so there
is one and then two and then into each
side double maintain putting two double
crochets put into every loop after that
just put one double crochet and then
I'll meet you guys back once we have
this row of double crochets I'll finish
up so we have just made our way all the
way around or their first row of double
crochets when it comes to our bottom
border and next we're going to go in
with a bunch of rows of front and back
post double crochets and we're just
going to keep doing that all the way
around our work that we have and that's
gonna be the exact same front and back
post double crochets that we've done for
the border and for the collar so what
we're gonna do is start off by doing a
chain up of three that counts as a
double let's just do the first set so
that we can refresh you guys really
quick we're going to insert our hook
into that next post with a a front post
double crochet we're going to yarn over
pull through Inc
up pull through two pull through two and
to do a back post we're going to yarn
over insert our hook behind our work and
then over that next post yarn over pull
through yank up pull through two pull
through two and once when we have that
we're just going to keep alternating
between a front and a back post going
all the way around our work and then
that is going to be the length of what
our bottom border is going to be so I'll
meet you guys back so that we can get
started on the next row and then just
let you guys go from there
so we're back and we just finished up
going in with our first row of our
bottom border and they were front and
back post double crochets we are going
to need to lengthen this so I just
wanted to start this row off with you
guys because we want a really good
ribbing for the entirety of this bottom
border so we're going to start off by
doing a chain up of three and we're
going to flip our work and then just
whatever it looks like in the previous
row we are going to do the same thing on
top so since this looks like a front
post we're going to go in with a front
post double crochet directly on top of
that to get that ribbing and I'm just
going to keep going like this until I
have a total of five rows or two inches
or six centimeters and then once we get
to the end we're going to chain up with
one and cut and then I'll meet you guys
back so we have just finished up going
in with our bottom border and next we're
going to have to go in with our sleeve
so the first thing we're going to want
to do when it comes to our sleeve is
figure out what direction our previous
row of Alpine stitches was going in so
if you guys take a look at the loops
they look like teardrops and whatever
part the curved portion of our teardrop
is facing that's the direction that we
were going so since it was going in this
direction we're going to have to come
back the way that we just came so that
we can maintain our al behind stitches
all along the same side so once when we
have figured that out all we're going to
do is just insert our hook and through
these two loops that we have that's
right underneath our underarm and we're
going to insert our five millimeter hook
into the loops that our body portion is
currently in when it comes to our
increase of three to eliminate some gaps
that could happen if you went into the
next available loop into the sleeve so
what we're gonna do is just insert my
hook and do both of those loops pull
through and then just work our way
around the way that we just came with a
row of single crochet so we're back and
we've just made our way all the way
around with our single crochet row and
what we're gonna do from here is slip
stitch into this first single crochet
that we just made
and then from there we're going to do a
chain up of three to start working on
our Alpine row we will be flipping our
work so that our outlines are all along
the same side and then just into this
first stitch that we have we're just
going to do the opposite of what we have
so since this is a front post double
we're going to do a regular double
crochet on top of that and then since
our next one is a regular double crochet
we're going to do a front post double on
top of that we're just going to keep
doing this going all the way back and
forth until we reach the length of our
sleeve that we want mine is going to be
a 3/4 length sleeve so I'm going to keep
going until I have a total of nine
inches or 23 centimeters or that comes
out to a total of 28 rows just for the
sleeve so we have just made it all the
way back with our sleeve length that we
have and the next thing we're going to
have to do is go in with our cuff so the
first thing we're going to do is just
switch out our hook to our 4 millimeter
hook and the first thing we're going to
do is just go in with a row of double
crochet just putting one double crochet
into every loop so just start off by
doing the chain above 3 and put one
double crochet into every loop going all
the way around once we make it back to
the end we're gonna slip stitch into
that third chain and then I'll meet you
guys back so we have just made our way
all the way around with our first row of
double crochets and next we're about to
do our cuff which is going to be the
same exact way that we did our bottom
band so what we're going to start off by
doing is a chain up of 3 that counts as
a double and we're just going to go in
with one front post double one back post
double and then once we make our way all
the way around we don't need a flip so
we're just going to slip stitch do a
chain up of three and then do a front
post double on top of a front post
double do a back post double on top of a
back post double and then just keep
going like that until we have the cuff
link that we want so I'm going to keep
going until I have a total of two and a
half inches or seven centimeters and
that comes out to seven rows and then
I'll meet you guys back so we're back
and I just finished up going in with the
entirety of our sleeve and our cuff once
we have that done we're going to do our
second one which is exactly the same but
once we have that we are all done the
last thing we're gonna have to do is
just weave in our ends we've woven in
our

so let's get started getting this
cardigan started we are first gonna grab
our category for yarn make a slipknot
then grab our two and a half millimeter
hook and start off by making a chain
that reaches around the base of our neck
so I'm going to go ahead and make a
chain of nineteen and a half inches or
50 centimetres and that comes out to 110
chains now that we have our chain what
we're gonna do from here is going with a
row of double crochets with some
increases so we're gonna block off that
last chain do a chain up of three that
counts as a double crochet we're going
to prepare for a double crochet and then
we're gonna bring it on down to that
fourth loop where the look that we
blocked off with our thumb with a double
crochet I'm gonna go in just like that
and then from here we're just going to
go in with a total of four double
crochet and they're gonna increase into
the fifth and that is going to be the
pattern for the rest of this chain so
I'm gonna go in with my four double
crochet once we have our four double
crochet what we're gonna do from here
into the fifth is just go in with two
double crochet into there so there is
one and we have to put one more into
that same loop and that makes our
increase into the fifth oh it's not
split they are now guys
and that is the pattern for the rest of
our chains so just as a reminder for a
double crochet increase into the fifth
for a double crochet increase of two
into the fifth go ahead and keep doing
that all the way around and then I'll
meet you guys back now that we've just
gone in with our first row of double
crochets where we did an increase of two
into every fifth now we're going to
start doing some front post and back
post double crochets but into the first
and last posts we will be doing an
increase so let's get that started once
we get here we're going to start off by
doing a chain up of three we're gonna
flip our work and then into this first
post that we have the chain above three
is on top of this other chain above
three or the last double crochet in the
last row so into this next post we're
going to be doing our increase of two
front post double crochets so we're
going to prepare for a front post double
crochet we're just going to insert our
hook behind this next post bring it on
through the other side once we have that
we're going to double crochet kind of
like normal we're gonna yarn over pull
through the only difference is that once
we get here we're going to yank our work
up just a little bit so that it's the
same level as our chain up of threes so
that it's all the same level once we get
here we're gonna yarn over pull through
two yarn over pull through two and that
is our first front post double crochet
we're gonna need to do another one into
that same post this is our increase so
we're gonna prepare for another one go
into that same post that we just went
into with another front post double
crochet yarn over pull through yank our
work up just a little bit yarn over pull
through two yarn over pull through two
and that is our two front post double
crochets into that first post that we
have that is our increase now once we
have that we're going to be doing a back
post and then front post back post front
post we're just going to alternate like
that so let's do our back post together
we're going to prepare for a at double
crochet and then we're going to take our
hook and then insert it behind our work
so this part can be a little tricky
could be a little tight so go ahead and
separate this beforehand we're going to
insert our hook behind our work and then
over this next post that we have right
here then bring it on through to the
other side this is what it should look
like on top
once we have that we're going to yarn
over pull through and then same deal
yank up just a little bit yarn over pull
through two yarn over pull through two
and that is our front post and back post
we're going to do one more set of a
front post and a back post together so
we're gonna prepare for another front
post double crochet go behind that next
available post that we have and then
bring it on through the other side once
we have that we're going to yarn over
pull through that post pull up just a
little bit yarn over pull through two
yarn over pull through two that is just
one front post double crochet once we
have that now we're going to do one back
post into the post right after that so
prepare for a double crochet insert our
hook behind our work going over this
next post that we have so over that next
post this is what it should look like on
sweater top manufacturer we're gonna yarn over pull through
yank up just a little bit yarn over pull
through two yarn over pull through two
and just as a refresh into this first
loop that we have or into this first
post my bad we have an increase of two
front post double crochets a back post
double crochet front post back post and
we're gonna keep alternating just like
that until we get all the way down to
this end and then I'll meet you guys
back so that we can do another increase
of two post double crochets into that
last stitch so we've just made our way
all the way down with our front and back
post double crochets and like I said
before we are going to need to do an
increase of whatever post we have left
into our second-to-last stitch and then
into that last one we're going to go in
with a regular double crochet so let's
get that started together the last
stitch that I did was a front post
double crochet so my next increase is
actually going to be a back post double
crochet so the opposite of what we
started with so we're going to start off
by yarning over we're going to insert
our hook behind our work we're gonna be
yarn over pull through yank up just a
little bit here and over pull through
two yarn over pull through two that's
the first one we're gonna have to do one
more this could be a little tricky so to
stick with me we're going to yarn over
insert our hook behind our work but when
it comes to this part we're act
just gonna be going over what we just
did we don't have to go in through this
way you can just work over here just
like that and then from here yarn over
this cart could be tricky to pull over
just like that
yarn over pull through - there we go
you're no over pull through two then
once we have our last increase yours
could be a front post or a back post
does not matter just as long as you guys
are into the second to last stitch y'all
are in good shape pull once when we're
here we're just going to go in with a
double crochet to make sure that this
side is nice and closed off and even so
once when we have this we're going to be
skipping this next loop that we have
because if we go into here that's going
to count as an extra increase and we
don't want that so we're just gonna go
into that last loop with a double
crochet just like that once all you got
in with our two rows this is what our
work should be looking like and now we
can actually start going in with our
front border so from where we're at
we're going to measure all the way down
to where we want the bottom of our
cardigan to be making sure that we are
leaving just a couple inches because we
are going to have a bottom border as
well I'm going to leave about two inches
at the bottom so I'm gonna start off by
making a chain that comes out to 13
inches or 33 centimeters or that's a
total of 78 chains now that we have our
front border chain what we're going to
start off now that we have our front
border chain what we're gonna start off
by doing is blocking off our last chain
and doing a chain up of three that
counts as a double crochet from here
we're gonna prepare for a double crochet
and then insert our hook into that loop
that we blocked off or the fourth loop
from our hook with a double crochet and
then from here we're just going to work
our way all the way down our chain that
we just made putting one double crochet
into every chain going all the way down
until we have just one loop left and
then we'll meet eachother back because
we're going to be doing an increase of
two double crochets into there and now
that we've made our way all the way down
to our last stitch what we're gonna do
from here is do an increase of two
double crochets so all it is is
preparing for a double crochet going
into that last stitch that we have with
one double crochet and we're going to be
putting one more into that same loop
here is our second into that same loop
once we have this we are going to I
guess flip the base so that we can slip
stitch into the base if yours is already
flipped in this direction then y'all are
doing quite alright pull once we get
here we're going to be slip stitching
into that second loop so we're going to
count up one count up two we're going to
slip stitch into that second loop that
we have to close off this first row that
we made for ourselves then once we have
that where you are going to need to work
our way up to the next row so you're
going to slip stitch up the next two
loops into the base so that we can start
up our next rule once when you have slip
stitch into those next two we are going
to be flipping our work and then now
we're going to be working with more
ribbing so more front and back post
double crochets but into this first one
we are going to be doing an increase so
this is gonna be another increase of
front post double crochets so all that
is is preparing for a front post go into
that first double crochet that we have
we're probably gonna have to pop it out
a little bit once we have that we are
going to insert our hook behind that
double crochet post yarn over pull
through yank up just a little bit yarn
over pull through two yarn over pull
through two then once we have that we're
gonna be doing one more into that same
post so prepare for a double go behind
that double crochet post yarn over pull
through yank up yarn over pull through
two yarn over pull through two once we
have that guy we're next gonna be going
into that next post that we have with a
back post double crochet so same exact
sequence that we did for the collar
we're just gonna do this next one
together we're gonna prepare for a back
post double crochet insert our hook over
that next post that we have and through
the other side once we have that we're
going to yarn over pull through yank up
just a smidge yarn over pull through two
yarn over pull through two and then from
here just alternate going all the way
down with front and back post double
crochets until we hit the very end and
then I'll meet you guys back and now
that we've made our way all the way down
to the end what we're going to do from
here is do a chain up of one and cut and
then we're just going to do the same
exact thing that we did here on the
other side of our collar and the only
tip that I have
for you guys is once when we're going in
with the other front border that we have
on the other side of our collar just
make sure that we're inserting it into
the correct spot so you're going to want
to lay it down making sure that it's
flat and going in a circle and then
you're going to insert your hook into
this bottom corner right here and start
off by making the same chain count that
you guys just made go up with double
crochet is doing an increase of two into
that last chain do a do two slip
stitches going all the way up and then
do front and back post double crochets
remembering to do an increase into that
first stitch that we have and then you
guys will go for as many rows as you
guys have you guys know that I just have
these two rows so I'm gonna stop right
after there and then I'll meet you guys
back so we have just finished up going
in with both of our front panels that we
have and right here and now we can start
going around with our body portion so
the first thing we're going to do is
flip our work upside down so that our
collar the round part is faced down
towards us and the front panels are
faced away from us and what we're going
to do is that we're going to start
working into the left side and we're
going to find this first available loop
that we have that is in this front panel
that is right next to the corner right
here where the front panel meets the
collar so we're going to insert our four
millimeter hook into that first loop in
the front panel insert our yarn onto our
hook we're going to pull through and
then we're going to go into the first
loop that we have into the collar the
first available loop with an increase of
two single crochets so this is our first
available loop so we're going to go in
here with one single crochet and we're
gonna go in with one more into that same
loop just like that and then from here
we're gonna go all the way down with
single crochets just putting one into
every loop going around the entirety of
our collar once when we hit this last
loop right here we're going to be doing
another increase of two single crochet
they're gonna slip stitch into the first
loop that we have into our front panel
so I'll meet you guys back once we reach
our way over to this corner so we're
just made our way all the way around
with a row of single crochet leaving
this last loop into this section so that
we can do our increase of two single
crochets together
and then we're going to slip stitch into
the front panel and then we're going to
start off our next where together as
well so into this lawsuit that we have
right over here we're just gonna go in
with two single crochets into that last
loop so there is one and then just one
more there is two once when we have that
we're going to take a look at this first
loop that we have into this front panel
we're going to slip stitch into that
loop this might be a little tricky
because we did go in with a two and a
half millimeter hook so it could be a
little small but just work with me just
like that once we have that we're going
to be slip stitching up the next two
loops because we're going to have to do
a row of double crochets so there's one
slip stitch and then there's two slip
stitches once when we have that we are
going to be flipping our work and now
we're going to go in with a row of
double crochet while maintaining the
increases into the loop that's right
next to the front panel on both sides so
let's just do that together as well
so we're going to prepare for a double
crochet insert our hook into that first
loop that we have with an increase of
two double crochets so there is one
double crochet and then here is another
once we have that we're going to be
putting one double crochet into every
loop going all the way around I'll meet
y'all back once we get to this last loop
so that we can do our increase of two
double crochets and then work our way up
to the next where together as well so
just made our way all the way around
with our double crochet row leaving this
last loop for us to go into because
we're going to be doing another increase
of two double crochets at the very end
so just into this last loop we're going
to be putting two double crochets so
there is one and then we're going to be
doing one more two into that same loop
once and we have that we're going to be
slip stitching into the second available
loop that we have into the side of this
front panel that we have right here so
we're going to count up one two slip
stitch into that second loop to close
off this row and to work our way back
we're just going to be going in with one
more row of single crochets so all we're
going to do is slip stitch into that
next available loop we're gonna flip our
work and we're still going to be
maintaining the increases that we have
that's right next to the front panels so
into this first loop we're going to go
in with two single crochets after that
put one single crochet into every loop
going all the way around once we hit
this last one do another increase of two
single crochets and then we'll slip
stitch into the next available loop that
we have into the front panel and then
I'll meet you guys back so we have just
made our way across with our row of
single crochet where we did increases
into the first and the last stitch that
we have in the row and then now we are
going to start with our Alpine sections
so I've already slip stitched into the
next available that we had into this
front border that we have and now our
Alpine's is going to have to start with
a double crochet so we're going to be
slip stitching up the next to available
loops to start off our Alpine row so
we're going to slip stitch up one and
then slip stitch up to one so we have
that we will be flipping our work now
that we flip to work now we're ready to
start going in with our Alpine section
and going into every Alpine row that we
have we will not be doing an increase so
just to start this row off we're going
to start off with a regular double
crochet so we're going to prepare for a
double crochet insert our hook into that
next available loop with a regular
double crochet and then since we are
here we're ready to do a front post
double crochet but we are going to be
inserting our hook into this first
double crochet that we've just made in
the previous double crochet row so we're
going to prepare for a double crochet go
into that first post that we have in the
previous double crochet row I'm going to
insert our hook behind that just like if
we were doing a regular front post
double we're gonna yarn over pull
through the only difference once we get
here we're going to do a little yank up
so that it's the same level as a double
crochet as we just made I'm here we're
gonna double crochet like normal so yarn
over pull through two yarn over pull
through two then once we have that we're
gonna do this set all over again all
throughout the rest of this row so let's
just do this again we're going to
prepare for a double crochet we're gonna
be skipping one loop in the previous row
because the front post double that we
just made counts as this loop that we
just did so we're gonna insert our hook
into the second loop with a regular
double crochet just like that and then
once we have that we will be
for a double crochet and we're going to
go in with another front post double so
this regular double crochet that we just
did is directly on top of this second
double crochet that we have in the
previous double crochet row so we're
going to be skipping this next post and
then going into the post right after
that so skipping this next post insert
our hook into this next loop yarn over
pull through we're going to yank up here
and over pull through two yarn over pull
through two let's just do the set one
more time just a little bit faster we're
going to prepare for sweater top manufacturer a double skip one
loop in the back insert our hook into
that second loop in the previous row and
then we're going to be doing another
front post double so we're gonna skip
this next post because this double
crochet is directly on top of that guy
go into the post right after that with a
front post double and we're just gonna
keep going back and forth just like this
going all the way down once we hit our
last loop on this row I'll meet you guys
back so that we can work our way up to
the next rows together now that we've
made our way all the way around with our
first row of our Alpine stitches next
we're going to go in with a row of
single crochet because our Alpine
stitches are not reversible so they're
always going to need to start off on
this side so the first thing we're gonna
do is slip stitch up this next available
loop that we have into this front border
that we have to work our way up to the
single crochet row once we have that we
will be flipping our work and then into
that first stitch that we have are going
to be going in with an increase of two
single crochets because we're going to
be doing increases into the first and
into the last loops when it comes to our
single crochets so into here we're gonna
go in with one single crochet and then
two once we have that we're gonna be
going in putting one single crochet into
every loop going all the way around and
I'll meet you guys back once we have
just one loop left so we can go in with
our increase and then also slip stitch
into the next row together so we've just
made our way all the way down with our
single crochet row and we did leave that
last loop so that we can go in with our
increase of two single crochets together
so just ending off this row we're going
to go into that last loop with one
single crochet and then into that last
stitch another single crochet once we
have that we will be slip stitching of
this next available loop that we have to
close off this row
and now we're going to do another row of
Alpine so we're going to slip stitch up
the next two loops so there's one and
there's two once we have that we will be
flipping our work and for that Alpine
section it's going to be the same
sequence that we made but instead of
doing a front post double crochet on top
of each other so that we get a ribbing
it's going to be in each window that we
have so a front post double is going to
be on top of this double crochet on top
of this front post double is going to be
a regular double crochet but since we do
have an increase in to the previous
single crochet row it's going to be done
just a little bit differently so our
first gonna start off with a double
crochet a regular one even though
there's a regular double crochet in the
previous row that's only because we do
have this extra loop because we just did
an increase so to start off this next
row we're going to prepare for a double
crochet go into that first loop that we
have with a regular double crochet once
when we have that we will be preparing
for a front post double and then we're
going to insert into this first regular
double crochet that we have in our
previous Alpine stitch row so we have
our yarn over we're gonna go into this
first double crochet behind that post
yarn over pull through yank up just a
little bit yarn over pull through two
yarn over pull through two once we have
that we're gonna prepare for a double
crochet and we have a regular double
crochet to go into right after this so
we're gonna be skipping one loop in the
back and then inserting our hook into
the loop right after that with a regular
double crochet and let's just do this
sequence one more time we're going to
prepare for a double crochet go into
that next double crochet post that we
have not the front post double I'm going
to go into that regular double with a
front post double and then from here
prepare for a double crochet skip one
loop in the back insert your hook into
the loop right after that with a regular
double once we have this we're going to
keep doing this all the way around I'll
meet you guys back once we get to the
end of this row so we are back with our
second Alpine stitch row and what we
have left is just one regular double
crochet and then two loops up on top so
into that regular double crochet we are
still going to be doing our front post
double and then we're going to be
putting one double crochet into that
last loop just to maintain the same
pattern that we've been doing so
with this Alpine so we're going to
prepare for a front post double go into
that last double crochet post you're
gonna yarn over pull through let's try
that one more time
yarn over pull through yank up just a
little bit yarn over pull through two
yarn over pull through two I'm here
we're gonna prepare for a double crochet
skip one loop in the back and then
double crochet into that last one that
we have but if your last loop just so
happens to be a front post double that
is completely fine we're still going to
go into that the same way that we would
as if we were going into it normally I
just wanted to give you guys a visual
but once we get here we are going to
slip stitch into the second loop that we
have into this front border so we're
going to count up one count up to two
close off this row and as you guys
should know this next row that we're
going to be doing is a single crochet so
we're going to slip stitch up that next
available loop flip our work and then
put an increase of two single crochets
into the first and the last stitch that
we have and just put one single crochet
into every loop that we have in between
there and then we're going to keep going
back and forth like this alternating
between our Alpine stitch row and our
single crochet row until this reaches
almost the tips of our shoulders but
remembering once when we're going in
with our Alpine stitches the front post
Devils do need to be staggered so after
we go in with our single crochet our
next Alpine stitch row is going to be
the same as the first Alpine stitch row
that we had because it needs to be on
top of the regular double crochets just
like that and while we're doing these
next few rows we're going to want to
make sure that we end on an Alpine
stitch row so that we can get started on
the rest of this on the same rows but
I'll meet you guys back in just a few
rows so that we can move on from there
so we've just made it back with our
single crochet and Alpine rose and now
I'm at the tip of my shoulder and now I
can get started on the rest of the body
portion and just let you guys know I did
try this on and insert some stitch
markers along the sides and this is just
for our sleep so we're first gonna want
to try this on and then insert our
stitch marker right over our underarm in
the front and then in the same spot
along the back and the measurements that
I have for my stitch markers are I'm
just going to show you guys one side
from this front border all the way into
the front of my underarm add a total of
5 inches or 13 centimeters
I did insert my hook into the twenty
first loop that I had and also keep in
mind that when you guys are inserting
your stitch markers try to make sure
that you're inserting them into the
regular double crochet stitches that we
have not into the front post double
crochets so that once we go in with the
next section we're all going to end up
doing the same thing and then moving
over to our second stitch marker that I
have which is the back portion counting
from the first stitch that we have right
here all the way down to the second
stitch marker I inserted my stitch
marker into the forty-fifth loop or this
is just about six-and-a-half inches or
17 centimeters apart from this first
stitch marker that we have and then I
just did the same thing that we did here
along the other side and once when we
have this we're now going to go in with
our single crochet row but we have two
things to keep in mind we aren't going
to be doing any more increases because
we're going to be doing increases right
where our stitch markers are and then
also we will be switching out to our 5
millimeter hook just to give it a little
bit more flow so this part should be
fairly simple we're not going to be
doing any increases into the single
crochet row so just slip stitch up just
one loop that we have into this front
border single crochet all the way across
making sure that you guys are inserting
your stitch markers into the same loops
that they are currently in into our
Alpine row and then I'll meet you guys
back once we've made our way all the way
back down now that we've just made our
way all the way down with our single
crochet row where we didn't do any
increases and we have also inserted our
stitch markers into the same loops that
they were in in the previous row now
we're going to get started on our Alpine
row where we're going to start doing
increases right where the stitch markers
are and since we didn't do any increases
into the single crochet row it's going
to start off just a little bit different
so let's get that started together
I have already slip stitched into the
front panel that I have and did two slip
stitches up so that we can get started
with our Alpine row and since we didn't
do any increases we're actually just
going to start off by putting one front
post double crochet into this first
regular double crochet that we have so
we're going to prepare for a front post
insert into that first regular double
crochet that we have into our previous
Alpine row from here we're going to yarn
over pull through Inc up yarn over pull
through yarn over pull through two once
we have that we're going to prepare for
a double crochet skip
one loop in the back insert our double
crochet into the second loop that we
have in the previous row and then that's
it let's do this just one more time a
little bit faster we're gonna prepare
for a front post and set our hook into
the regular double crochet post that we
have in the previous Alpine row here and
over pulls through yank up yarn over
pull through two yarn over pull through
two we're gonna prepare for a double
crochet skip one loop in the back insert
our hook into that second loop that we
have and we're just going to keep doing
this pattern going all the way down I'll
meet you guys back once we had our
stitch marker so just made it down with
our Alpine stitches all the way down to
our first stitch marker that we have and
all we're gonna do is do an increase of
three front post double crochets so
let's do that right now we're going to
take this guy out for now and then into
this next stitch that we have which is a
regular double crochet we're going to
prepare for a front post double we're
going to insert our hook behind that
double crochet yarn over pull through
yank up yarn over pull through two yarn
over pull through two and we're gonna be
doing two more into that same stitch so
yarn over into that same post yarn over
pull through yank up here and over pull
through two yarn over pull through two
and just one more into that same stitch
yank up your nowhere pull through two
yarn over pull through two once when we
have that we will be inserting our
stitch marker into the middle of that
increase of three that we just made for
ourselves and then once when we get
there we're going to continue on with a
regular pattern that we've been doing so
all we're gonna do is skip one loop in
the back insert our hook into the next
loop that we have with a regular double
crochet as if we didn't do an increase
of three so once when we have that we're
just going to maintain doing the same
pattern going all the way down and then
do the same increase of three once we
hit our next stitch marker and then
every stitch marker there after that and
then from there I do single crochets all
the way back making sure that we're not
doing any increases and do any of the
stitches and that'll meet you guys back
alright so we are back we have just
finished up going in with our first
Alpine row where we did our increases of
three into where stitch markers were and
we did our single crochets back and once
when we get here we're actually just
going to keep doing this road
we just did repeating until this length
is long enough to fit underneath our
underarms so that we can cinch that in
and then we can go in with the body from
there but since our Alpine's are
basically worked into to alpine rose
where they just kind of window each
other I just wanted to start off the
second one with you guys show you guys
how this increase is gonna look and then
from there I'll just let you guys keep
going back and forth from there until
we're ready to close up the underneath
of our armhole and then we can go on
with the body from there so let's just
get this row started and then we can
keep going back and forth from there so
once when we are here we have made it
all the way down with our single crochet
row we have slip stitch into the front
panel and then also done our two slip
stitches going up to start off our
Alpine row and then once when we are
here all we're gonna do is flip our work
like use you will usual and once we get
here since these are basically done in
Windows we're just gonna do the opposite
of whatever was the first stitch that we
have in this row so since this first
stitch was a front post you guys may or
may not be able to see but this is a
front post double crochet we're just
going to be doing a double crochet
directly on top of that so that we can
maintain our windowing of our outline
section so once then we have this double
crochet we're gonna prepare for a front
post go into this next double crochet
with a front post double crochet and
then just keep doing this all the way
down until we hit our stitch marker I'll
meet you guys back so that we can do
that together and then from there I'll
just let you guys how about it and now
that we've made our way down to our next
stitch marker what we're gonna do from
here is just do another increase of
three front post troubles so I did leave
this entire increase of three years so
that we can work into this ourselves so
the last post that I did was a front
post trouble and we're just going to
continue it on just like normal so we're
going to be skipping one loop in the
back prepare for a double crochet double
crochet into that next loop and then
that next stitch that we have is where
our stitch markers into so we're going
to take this guy out for now and then
into this middle stitch that we have
into this increase of three front post
troubles we're going to go in with
another increase of three front post
troubles so into that middle stitch
yarn over pull through yank up pull
through two pull through two into that
same post yarn over pull through yank up
pull through two pull through two and we
have one more to do
yarn over insert your nowhere pull
through pull through two pull through
two and that is our increase that we
will be maintaining for all the other
stitch markers that we have and for
every row that we have there after well
once when we are here we're going to
prepare for another double crochet we're
going to be skipping just one loop that
we have into the back and then inserting
our hook into that second loop that we
have with a double crochet we're gonna
insert our stitch marker back into that
middle stitch that we have into this
increase of three and then maintain this
increase into every stitch marker that
we have and we're just gonna keep going
back and forth like this until this
portion reaches underneath our arms so
that we can create an armhole and when
you guys are working in these next few
rows make sure that you guys end on a
double crochet row because when we're
going to combine our arm holes together
we're going to do that with a single
crochet row so I'll meet you guys back
just after a few rows so we are back and
we have just finished going in with this
top portion and now we're ready to start
connecting this underarm portion and
then we'll just make rounds with the
body so just to let you guys know from
the top all the way down to the bottom
where I ended I did end on an Alpine row
or double crochet row but if you guys
want to call it and I did end on my 26th
row and I have a total of seven inches
or 18 centimeters but if you guys need
your arm holes to be bigger because
that's what we're measuring right now if
you guys need your arm holes to be
bigger than go ahead and just keep
making this as long as you guys need
until these corners can reach your
underarm comfortably but this is pretty
good for me so my next row our next row
should be a row of single crochets so
all I'm gonna do is just work my way up
with a slip stitch the way that we've
been doing and in single crochet all the
way down until we hit our little
increase of three front post double so
that we have and then I'll meet you guys
back to show you guys what to do okay so
we have just made our way all the way
down with our single crochets all the
way down until we got into our increase
of three front post double crochets and
what we're going to do is put one single
crochet into the fur
and the second or the middle front most
of whatever you guys want to call it and
then from there we're going to turn our
work and then insert our hook and
through the middle of this section of
increase of the front post double Zanden
single crochet on back down so let's
just show you guys how to do that really
quickly so for everyone we're just going
to single crochet all the way down until
we hit that middle stitch that we have
into the increase of three front post
double just like that my single crochet
is right on top once when we have those
two we can now turn our work upside down
because we will be going into the back
portion now and then once when we have
this we're going to want to find the
middle of our increase of three front
post double on the other side and mine
just so happens to be right here so I'm
going to be inserting my hook into that
middle stitch that we have into our
increase of three front post double into
the section that's right underneath and
this forms our armhole right here on the
side but once we get there all we're
going to do is just do a single crochet
no slip stitches no nothing but once we
have that single crochet we're going to
single crochet going all the way down
until we hit this next increase of three
front post double x' and then we're
going to keep going in so we hit that
second front post double in this
increase of three turn our work again
and then insert it into this middle
front post double and then single
crochet on down leaving this armhole
over here as well and then from there we
can start working on the body portion
which is just the same thing but now
we're just working in the rounds we
don't need to do any increases but I'll
meet you guys back once we're done with
this single crochet row so that we can
move on with the body section together
alrighty so we have just single crochet
all the way around forming our arm holes
on both sides don't find the stitch
marker that's for me but once we get
here now we're just going to go in the
rounds not going in through our arm
holes with our Alpine stitches so this
is going to be fairly simple just
whatever you guys see in the previous
row just do the opposite so since I have
a regular double crochet I'm just gonna
be going in with a front post double
just like that and we're just going to
continue on doing this portion until we
hit our little section that we have
right here where we did our single
crochets on one side to the next and
I'll just show you guys what we have to
do from that and then
from there I'll let you guys just keep
going in the rounds until we've made our
way all the way down this little front
border that we have right here so I meet
you guys back in about two seconds so
we've just made our way all the way down
with our Alpine stitches until we got to
these two single crochets that we have
in the previous row that connects the
front to the back forming our armhole
and just into these two loops for just
going to be going in with a decrease of
two double crochets even though we just
ended off with a double crochet but once
when we get here we're just doing that
so that we can do the next Alpine row
and then everything will be exactly the
same after that so what we're gonna do
from here is prepare for a double
crochet insert our hook into that first
single crochet I guess the last thing or
crochet in this section yarn over pull
through and then into the first single
crochet that we have on the other side
yarn over pull through we're going to
yarn over pull through three yarn over
pull through two and then from here
since we have this post right here we're
just going to do one double crochet into
the stitch right after that and then
continue on with doing our work just
like regular so continue on with doing
one front post one regular double
crochet one front post one regular and
then that will be the only difference
that we have into this section once we
go in with our next Alpine row it'll be
a regular double crochet because these
two will be front post double is regular
double crochet and then everything will
be exactly the same after that I just
wanted to make sure that we all ended up
with the same deal over here now once we
have this we're gonna do the same thing
that we have on the other side and then
from there just keep going back and
forth with our single crochets and then
Alpine's making sure that every other
Alpine Row is staggered so since this
one started off on the front post double
we're going to do a regular double on
top of that to our front post double on
top of this double right here while
maintaining that single crochet row in
between but there aren't going to be any
increases or decreases into the section
we're just going to keep going all the
way down until we don't have any more
loops left to go into it into this front
border and then from there we'll be done
with the body portion ish because we
still have to do the bottom border but
that will pretty much be all done and
this is fairly simple so go ahead and do
this and then I'll meet you guys back
so we are back and we have just finished
up going in with the entirety of our
body portion and going in from the
underarm portion I have a total of 8
inches or 21 centimeters or if we're
counting rows all the way up from the
top I have a total of 52 rows but now we
can go into the bottom border and that's
going to be exactly the same way that we
have done our front panel and also our
collar so we will be switching out our
hook to our 4 millimeter hook and then
the first thing we're going to want to
do is just insert our hook in through
any one of these loops now that our hook
is in through this corner we're going to
first start off by doing a row of double
crochet but into this first side double
we're going to be going in with two
double crochets into each side double
that we have so we're going to start off
by doing a chain up of three that counts
as a double into this first side double
go in with two double crochets so there
is one and then two and then into each
side double maintain putting two double
crochets put into every loop after that
just put one double crochet and then
I'll meet you guys back once we have
this row of double crochets I'll finish
up so we have just made our way all the
way around or their first row of double
crochets when it comes to our bottom
border and next we're going to go in
with a bunch of rows of front and back
post double crochets and we're just
going to keep doing that all the way
around our work that we have and that's
gonna be the exact same front and back
post double crochets that we've done for
the border and for the collar so what
we're gonna do is start off by doing a
chain up of three that counts as a
double let's just do the first set so
that we can refresh you guys really
quick we're going to insert our hook
into that next post with a a front post
double crochet we're going to yarn over
pull through Inc
up pull through two pull through two and
to do a back post we're going to yarn
over insert our hook behind our work and
then over that next post yarn over pull
through yank up pull through two pull
through two and once when we have that
we're just going to keep alternating
between a front and a back post going
all the way around our work and then
that is going to be the length of what
our bottom border is going to be so I'll
meet you guys back so that we can get
started on the next row and then just
let you guys go from there
so we're back and we just finished up
going in with our first row of our
bottom border and they were front and
back post double crochets we are going
to need to lengthen this so I just
wanted to start this row off with you
guys because we want a really good
ribbing for the entirety of this bottom
border so we're going to start off by
doing a chain up of three and we're
going to flip our work and then just
whatever it looks like in the previous
row we are going to do the same thing on
top so since this looks like a front
post we're going to go in with a front
post double crochet directly on top of
that to get that ribbing and I'm just
going to keep going like this until I
have a total of five rows or two inches
or six centimeters and then once we get
to the end we're going to chain up with
one and cut and then I'll meet you guys
back so we have just finished up going
in with our bottom border and next we're
going to have to go in with our sleeve
so the first thing we're going to want
to do when it comes to our sleeve is
figure out what direction our previous
row of Alpine stitches was going in so
if you guys take a look at the loops
they look like teardrops and whatever
part the curved portion of our teardrop
is facing that's the direction that we
were going so since it was going in this
direction we're going to have to come
back the way that we just came so that
we can maintain our al behind stitches
all along the same side so once when we
have figured that out all we're going to
do is just insert our hook and through
these two loops that we have that's
right underneath our underarm and we're
going to insert our five millimeter hook
into the loops that our body portion is
currently in when it comes to our
increase of three to eliminate some gaps
that could happen if you went into the
next available loop into the sleeve so
what we're gonna do is just insert my
hook and do both of those loops pull
through and then just work our way
around the way that we just came with a
row of single crochet so we're back and
we've just made our way all the way
around with our single crochet row and
what we're gonna do from here is slip
stitch into this first single crochet
that we just made
and then from there we're going to do a
chain up of three to start working on
our Alpine row we will be flipping our
work so that our outlines are all along
the same side and then just into this
first stitch that we have we're just
going to do the opposite of what we have
so since this is a front post double
we're going to do a regular double
crochet on top of that and then since
our next one is a regular double crochet
we're going to do a front post double on
top of that we're just going to keep
doing this going all the way back and
forth until we reach the length of our
sleeve that we want mine is going to be
a 3/4 length sleeve so I'm going to keep
going until I have a total of nine
inches or 23 centimeters or that comes
out to a total of 28 rows just for the
sleeve so we have just made it all the
way back with our sleeve length that we
have and the next thing we're going to
have to do is go in with our cuff so the
first thing we're going to do is just
switch out our hook to our 4 millimeter
hook and the first thing we're going to
do is just go in with a row of double
crochet just putting one double crochet
into every loop so just start off by
doing the chain above 3 and put one
double crochet into every loop going all
the way around once we make it back to
the end we're gonna slip stitch into
that third chain and then I'll meet you
guys back so we have just made our way
all the way around with our first row of
double crochets and next we're about to
do our cuff which is going to be the
same exact way that we did our bottom
band so what we're going to start off by
doing is a chain up of 3 that counts as
a double and we're just going to go in
with one front post double one back post
double and then once we make our way all
the way around we don't need a flip so
we're just going to slip stitch do a
chain up of three and then do a front
post double on top of a front post
double do a back post double on top of a
back post double and then just keep
going like that until we have the cuff
link that we want so I'm going to keep
going until I have a total of two and a
half inches or seven centimeters and
that comes out to seven rows and then
I'll meet you guys back so we're back
and I just finished up going in with the
entirety of our sleeve and our cuff once
we have that done we're going to do our
second one which is exactly the same but
once we have that we are all done the
last thing we're gonna have to do is
just weave in our ends we've woven in
our
