I knit a basic bralette for the summer | Knitting Vlog 2025
Spend a few days in my life as I knit a basic bralette pattern, which was designed by Sarah Knits Co (pattern available on Etsy). This is my first vlog style knitting vlog, so please be nice :) I would love to read your feedback on what you liked, what you didn't like about my video. Was it too long? Too short? Are the sped up parts of knitting too long or too short? Too much doggo footage? You get the gist.

I haven't posted in 5 years. What happened?
My last video I posted left you all in a bit of a cliffhanger. An incomplete sweater and then nothing for 5 years. What happened? Where did I go? The most straight forward answer is this. Life. In this short update video, I will talk about why I started my channel, why I stopped posting, and the direction of my channel going forward.

HOW TO KNIT A CHUNKY CARDIGAN without a pattern using an existing piece of clothing (not as planned)
Learn how to knit an oversized chunky cardigan without a pattern using a piece of clothing you already own! This video knitting tutorial explains the steps that you need to make a DIY knit cardigan pattern using a few basic techniques. Knitwear design doesn't have to be intimidating! You start with an idea, pick some yarn that you like and needles to match, make a gauge swatch and wet block it, and then calculate your stitch count. You then use the measurements of your desired sweater and multiply it by the stitches and rows to knit your project! Easy as that! This is my first attempt at making a sweater without a pattern and I am documenting the process for you to enjoy! Please check out Part 2 of this video where I will knit the front panels and sleeves, and seam it all together! __________________________ /// MATERIALS /// ⟡ Yarn: MillaMia Naturally Soft Super Chunky https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-gb/p/millamia-naturally-soft-super-chunky?utm_medium=affiliate&a_aid=66b5e33a __________________________ /// VIDEO CHAPTERS /// 01:10 The Design 01:48 Taking Measurements 03:38 Picking Your Yarn and Making a Swatch 05:06 Calculating Stitches From a Swatch 10:13 Casting On Back Panel /// WEBSITE /// https://cristinamastromona.wixsite.com/website /// SHOUT OUTS /// Music from Filmora: Perfect Muse - Lucky Number Drift - Drift Drift - Pages Turn Lady Lane - The Pink Everland Sky Mart Tracy- Born Twice Lights On The Gold Shore - Time For Us /// FILMING SETUP /// My Tripod: https://amzn.to/3dRqIFe My microphone: https://amzn.to/2WL3NpL _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ DISCLAIMER: Links included in this description might be affiliate links.
