Now the yarn and the hoop might make some of you nauseous ,but trust me I’M A BEGINNER and I did it .Once you are in the game ,you are no longer a rookie .So this DIY Sweater took me one and a half day of course with the daily interruptions, not that bad I guess . Also this neon color yarn used ,would remind me that spring is the day and winter is bygone.Say Hello to loads of colors and blooms.And Hey!! If you check the close up ,you will realize that I have actually mimicked a flower. Anyways Lets begin shall we with our DIY Sweater,

Instructions

  1. Small diy sweater 1 1024x664

    You will need the following for this project:

  2. Small diy sweater 2 1024x768

    Align your pearls the way want to or else follow the pattern I chose to work on , thread your small needle and tie both the ends with each other and begin sewing your pearls by poking the needle form the back side and getting through the hole of the pearl to the other side and poke it back and repeat until you feel the pearls have been secured or the pearl’s hole is suffocated ,sew over the strands of the thread to tighten it and cut off the excess.

  3. Small diy sweater 3 1024x768

    Repeat the steps until all your pearls are sewn at their respective positions like shown in the pic.

  4. Small diy sweater 4 1024x793

    Now we will prepare for the yarn stitching, thread your big eyed needle with around 30 cm of your neon yarn.

  5. Small diy sweater 5 1024x768

    Don’t tie both the ends to each other but just one end, we need the other end free as the thickness demands only one yarn thread.

  6. Small diy sweater 6 1024x768

    Since I will be stitching on a woven sweater it will have big holes and the thread would pass through easily, so the end should be knotted at least twice to help the knot stay and not cross the other side

  7. Small diy sweater 7 cl 1024x1024

    Clamp down your hoop where you would start to work then poke the needle with your neon yarn from behind and pull the yarn from the front until it reaches its stop point .Now poke the needle at the foot of the pearl opposite to it.

  8. Small diy sweater 8 cl 1024x1024

    Pull the yarn away from you ,and at the back of it poke the needle at a position next to the the first yarn as seen below and do the same as in see that you insert the needle at the foot of the pearl opposite to the current thread ,repeat the steps and don’t worry about the gaps ,between two adjacent stitches you can stitch another to fill them up ,once you are happy with the look of it tighten the yarn by sewing the yarn through the stitches and cut the leftover piece of your yarn with sharp scissors.

    This is the look that you want to achieve,it doesn't have to be perfect ,but there should be no gaps .

  10. Small diy sweater 10 1024x684

    I had a total of 21 pearls in this pattern to stitch around this is how much I could do in half a day (10 pearls).Not bad,eh?
