  • You are the absolute BEST at crochet tutorials. Clear. Concise. Pattern tips. Pure perfection. Thank you!!!
  • @salamanda11
    I love the detailed measurements! Hot tip though: if you know you’re going to lengthen the body, you can do some of it at the same time you’re widening the body. You can just do rounds over the 3 open sides after closing the arms but before attaching the two sides together. You can also join as you go to close the arms and attach the sides together instead of sewing; I do anything I can to avoid sewing! And leave the yarn attached when you “finish” one side so you can keep using it. You might end up on the body or the sleeve; either way, you can continue using the same yarn to continue the sleeve length or body widening/lengthening depending on where you end up.

    Ive been crocheting for 20 years but never considered blocking. Finding you has helped me become a better crocheter. 🤗🤗🥰
  • I am 75 years old and this is the first time I have ever watched one of your videos. I have only been crocheting for a few years and I’m pretty much baby, blanket, Afghan, or shower material. I think you just a doll with a bubbly personality, but for me, you really go fast I’m not even going to finish watching this video on the sweater because I just know I would never be able to make that. I also find it hard to believe in one of the comments. The lady said she made this of the day and a half. I am definitely going to watch some of your other videos and maybe I will find some thing that I think I could make. You are an amazing ProShare thank you honey.

    The absolute highlight of this instructional is when you considered left handed crocheters in the "lengthening the body" section! I already know to mentally flip instructions around but it was so nice to hear it, and know that I'm doing things right! Fantastic video ❤
  • I love watching many people make the same thing and seeing how many different ways there are to do things. From passionate Kelsie I learned how to avoid having to sew and going into the sleeves all at once. From you I learned about measurements and making something perfectly fit ❤
  • I really appreciate the pattern. The reason I have never made a hexagon cardigan in the past is for all the reasons you mentioned at the beginning of your video. I'm looking forward to making this. Thank you for all you do for the crochet community.
  • You are amazing! Thank you so much. I have been looking forward to making a hexagon cardigan for years. I hope you have a blessed week.
  • @Kate0408pp
    Made this in a day and a half with Caron Cakes yarn I had in my stash just because I liked the colours! So proud of myself 😅. I’ve never been a huge fan of granny squares but now I’m a convert. Thank you, Toni! ❤❤
  • Thank you. With your gauge tests. You're lasting advice with trying different hook sizes is most appreciated.
  • @nz-nz
    The thing that has put me off this cardigan is the baggy sleeves. I am going to do your personalised measurements and give this a go! Many thanks!!! ❤️
  • @melodied4314
    I've watched multiple videos for hexagon sweaters (and even purchased several patterns). This is the ONLY one that gives specific instructions for customization. Bravo. The style of the ribbing is new to me, and I'm excited ti try it.
  • @bonniemills3760
    After taking your class, a swatch is absolutely necessary! I crochet too tight most the time and I like the idea of sizing up hooks to get the right feel and look!❤
  • @Sasharra
    I love that your mini version looks like you're making Pepper a little cardigan. 😄 I like the new transition screens! Could you maybe stay on that screen for a second before continuing though? I was listening but not watching so when I would hear the typewriter sound I'd look up to see what was coming next but by the time I looked the transition screen was gone. I've been struggling with depression today and I have to say, your sunny personality and some good ol'crochet love has made my day so much better. Thanks, Toni!
  • Could you beeee any cuter? What a ray of pure sunshine you are. Thank you for sharing your energy.
  • @ashleyo413
    Ugh I love!! You come up with the prettiest color combos
  • @4namolly
    That's honestly the best examples of how and why to use a swatch... Wish I had seen it 30 yrs ago 😂💪🙏 Ok back to the video 🤣
  • Ive made a hexi cardigan and like you i found the sleeves way to large, the finished garment seemed more like a kimono. Excited to see your modifications.
  • @floraidh4097
    Your eye for color is so good! I don't even have an interest in wearing a multicolor granny cardigan, but I saw your work and immediately thought maybe I like Granny square cardigans now! 😂
