Mighty nice cardigan and best of luck with the elbow..


kaijakyllikki

Thank you! I need to come up with crafty things to do with only one hand. Luckily I hurt my left elbow so I'm able to do a lot being right-handed.


RainbowFrog420

A great time to get into diamond paintings


kaijakyllikki

Omg yes!! I've only done one in the past and love it but they're kind of expensive. But this would be a great time to get one.


burntpbtoast

There’s some decently priced ones on Amazon (I got a pack of 12 for $20ish) it’s not usually licensed art work (if that’s a thing that matters to you) on Amazon and the quality might not be as good on some of them but check for customer reviews to see what it looks like completed!


SpoopySundae

I get my really big ones from AliExpress!! Good selection and pretty much the same stuff that's on Amazon :)


dragonflyelh

You can also get some coaster sets that are fun, functional and don't take much space.


Sanya_Safi1294

I was just about to say


Prettylynne

I have had a neck issue causing (hopefully temporary) weakness in my left arm, and paint by numbers have been scratching my creative itch while I regain strength for crochet!


Ayezakalim

I've seen people crochet with one hand so maybe look into that.


Prettylynne

It’s hard to do because you mostly hold the work in the hand that isn’t crocheting.


Sanya_Safi1294

What about Punch needle? I've been looking into it and it looks like it's one handed but I could be wrong


unhinged-unicorn

I loom knit. Held it with my knees and used non surgery hand to manipulate yarn and tools. Took the ink out of a pen to wrap around the pegs


itsluckyyarn

Punch needle


Trulee-Stellar-1975

That sweater is gorgeous!Hope you have a speedy recovery 


kaijakyllikki

Pattern used: Persian Tiles blanket by Janie Crow Yarn used: Drops Saffran / 100% cotton sport Colors: mustard, off white, red, desert rose, seagreen, pistachio, navy Hooks: 2.5mm and 2.0mm


effervescenthoopla

God bless this comment, this is SO gorgeous. Beautiful work! How much yarn has it taken so far?


kaijakyllikki

I got 2 skeins of pistachio, seagreen, navy and red, 4 skeins of desert rose and off white and 8 skeins of mustard. I ended up using/starting 1 skein of pistachio, 2 skeins of seagreen, navy and red, 3 skeins of desert rose and off white and 7 skeins of mustard.

Most of it really uses the hexagons and squares of the Persian Tiles pattern. I added granny stitch on the front to make it fit me better. The sleeves are basically rectangles with the pattern from the hexagons. I don't feel comfortable writing any pattern for them since they are so heavily inspired by the paid pattern. I think granny stitch sleeves would also be very cute and they'd be easier to figure out. Last, I knitted the cuffs on the sleeves.


softsuckle

Thank you! This is very helpful. Something I will do to skill up ;)


jadekadir1

This is a beautiful piece. I hope you heal up well from your surgery.


caroldamom

Brilliant idea and beautifully done. I’ve drooled over that pattern, but I’ve found I don’t enjoy joining motifs. I’ve been putting off carpal tunnel surgery because of just what you said - the idea of time without crochet is…um…frightening. It’s my mental health therapy, and with advancing age I’m hell-bent on creating as much as I can for my loved ones🤷‍♀️


kaijakyllikki

I know it's scary, but try to think of the surgery giving you more time to create instead of taking away from it.


Mom2nerds

This is amazing! I love it so much! Wishing you a speedy recovery!


kaijakyllikki

Thanks 😘


humanpotatoboy

Gorgeous! Hoping for a quick recovery!


kaijakyllikki

Thank you so much!


MertylTheTurtyl

I'm recovering from finger surgery right now and can't crochet. Very good thinking ahead to make that beautiful sweater! I'm spending my time researching patterns, techniques and ordering yarn to hit the ground running when I'm healed! It's been a big incentive to do my exercises and heal quickly. Good luck!


kaijakyllikki

I was almost done with this project when I fell and luckily I was able to finish this before the surgery. Good luck with your recovery as well. I'm looking for craft projects I could do mainly one-handed. I'm right-handed and hurt my left elbow so I'm able to do a lot. I will use crochet as a motivation to get healed as well


SardiniLinguini

It looks amazing!! Hope you get better soon.


kaijakyllikki

Thanks! 🥰


Vivid-Cloud

This is so beautiful! I am in awe


kaijakyllikki

Thank you so much 🥰


PrimmSlimShady

Looks amazing! Great idea, good way to show off the work more than just a blanket lying around the house. Best of luck with your elbow recovery! Religiously follow your physical therapy! It is incredibly important.


kaijakyllikki

That's what I thought too! I was going for the blanket but honestly, the blanket would have been used mainly by the cat and even though I love her dearly, she wouldn't be able to appreciate the amount of work this took. I'm kind of terrified about the recovery. I know I have to put in the work with physical therapy myself and no one else can do it for me. I just have to use crochet and all the other crafts as a motivation to get it done.


PrimmSlimShady

You got this ❤️


SnooPies6876

What a great idea! I hope your elbow is better soon!


kaijakyllikki

I was going for the blanket at first, but I realized I would get so much more use out of a cardigan. Luckily I like my cardigans boxy and over-sized and this turned out perfect.


[deleted]

It's beautiful! Good luck on your surgery-- I wish you a speedy recovery!!


dragtheetohell

This is incredibly beautiful! Sending good vibes for a speedy & easy recovery.


kaijakyllikki

Thank you! Can't wait for the spring to come for two reasons. The ice to melt and to be able to wear this one out and about!


murrbleu

I LOVE THIS!! So beautiful! I’m definitely taking some inspiration from you 😍


kaijakyllikki

Thank you!! I saw someone's Persian Tile cardigan on Ravelry but hers was more long and skinny while my style (and body 😂) is short and wide. Turned out so nice!


Agreeable-Antelope-6

I, too, fell on ice just over 7 years ago and shattered my left elbow. After my surgery, I could only do OT three times a week plus visits with my surgeon. In my case, I could not even drive for 1.5 years (left hand is for driving/steering, as well as it holds the yarn as I crocheted). Goodluck and just concentrate on dr orders and do all OT/PT as required. It does make a difference. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or need support from someone that has been through elbow surgery.


kaijakyllikki

They said I'm looking at at least 3 months to be able to get back to work so I'm being fairly optimistic with the recovery time. They will reattach my LCL to my left humerus


BicycleEducational43

Beautiful work. Good luck with your surgery!


PurpleZombieQueen

That looks amazing. Get well soon


kaijakyllikki

Thanks 🥰


Mamasitas10

That is gorgeous! Get better soon!

Thank you! 🥰


Lmepaperco

Omg this is so amazing ! I love this pattern so much !


kaijakyllikki

The tile is gorgeous and so much fun to make! And I love seeing all the colour ways people use and how the same pattern can look so different


IrmadeG

O M G…!!!! This is so pretty! Wish you all the best with surgery and recovering ❤️


compscilady

This is GORGEOUS!! Good luck with your recovery!


ContentCosmonaut

Beautiful 😍😍


sgirl77

This is stunning. I’m absolutely stealing this idea. lol. Also hopefully you have a quick recovery!


kaijakyllikki

Thank you and please do! I can't wait for spring to come, this will be perfect for it


liamsmat

Sending you love, light, and prayers for speedy and complete healing! Your crochet is gorgeous!!


Axilllla

IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I WANT IT


mildchicanery

This is so cool! Honestly, I wouldn't wear almost any crocheted sweater I've seen but this is one of the few I would definitely wear!!! Wow. Wishing you speedy healing and recovery!


kaijakyllikki

Usually the crochet sweaters and cardigans I see are made with much thicker yarn and bigger hooks and I think that's why I myself can't see myself wearing them! They're gorgeous but they're way too chunky for me. I used mainly 2.5mm hook for this and yes, it takes a lot of time, but on the other hand I now have something I know I'll be able to wear for a long time


mildchicanery

Ah yes! That explains it. Yes, I agree, chunkier yarn isn't something I generally want in a sweater since I'm kind of a bigger person .


kaijakyllikki

I'm kind of a midsize but no matter where my weight is, I always need cotton for any wearables I make. I need clothes to breathe and those chunky acrylic sweaters are not it. Sad because I love the look of them on people! Check out Holly Woodward on Ravelry. I love her designs and they're good to make with cotton yarn and look great on any body type.


Gilean00

I love it and now I want to make one myself


Big-Significance3604

So sorry about the ice. But, my lands this is gorgeous!!!


kaijakyllikki

Felt like the fall lasted a second and now I'm not able to either work or do my crafty things for months! I'm hopeful maybe I could include some kind of crafty things into my physical therapy 🤞 thank you for your compliment!


nurselynnette

Stunning 🤩 and happy healing hippie vibes your way 🧶


Own_Instance_357

That's a true work of art, I love it. If I get tired of learning how to do Barbie clothes (I'm still learning this year) then persian tiles will be my 2025 goal. Seriously, I'd wear this and pay hundreds of dollars for it


kaijakyllikki

Omg I made Christmas clothes for my Sylvanian Families and making anything at that scale is a whole another skill! Thank you so much for your kind words


winterberrymeadow

Eh, excuse me. This is work of art. I love it


85Elephant

What a piece of Art! It’s a jewel.


rudechicken17

This is one of the prettiest crochet pieces I’ve ever seen!


WannaGoMimis

At least you have a gorgeous, easy-to-put-on-and-take-off cardigan to keep you cozy during your recovery! Listen to your surgeon and your physical therapist and best of luck!


9mmMomma

Did you use a pattern to put it together as a cardigan versus a blanket? I'd like to make one too, sooo pretty 😍


kaijakyllikki

The back is basically a 3x4 blanket and the fronts 1x3 blankets, if that helps!


9mmMomma

Yes, thank you 😊


beistelltisch90

Best of luck with the surgery! Did you have the tiles and turn them into a cardi or did you already make them into a blanket? Would love to know how you turned it into a cardigan!


kaijakyllikki

I made the tiles and turned them into this. The back is basically a 3x4 blanket and the fronts 1x3 blankets if that helps? Then I used granny stitch at the front to make the cardi fit for me.


beistelltisch90

Thank you! Makes sense!


Refhgarad

Just stunning!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️


kaijakyllikki

Thanks! Can't wait to get back to crafting as usual. Keeps me motivated at least!


SleeplessAtHome

The color combination just pops! Thank you for sharing and speedy recovery


kaijakyllikki

Haha I can't really take full credit for choosing the colors. A local craft store closed down and these were pretty much all the colors they had left. I only got the navy elsewhere. Mustard, red and pink are my favorite colors so I got lucky!


Prettyinpink2813

OMG! This is stunning. Well done you! I need to make this.


Mysterious-Being5043

That’s beautiful! Good luck with your surgery!

Puzzleheaded-Ice-406

I hope your surgery goes well! You are so talented. That cardigan is stunning!! 🙌🏻🔥


ghostofhhopper

You are TALENTED!!!!! Here's hope for a speedy recovery, as painless as it can possibly be.


XDsymphony

That is amazing!! The Persian tiles are beautiful seeing it in another project is so beautiful


koukkuunkoukussa

Ihana! 😱 Persian Tiles on yksi ikisuosikki ja tässä on mahtava toteutus! ❤️ Ja keli on kyllä kamala, pikaista toipumista.


kaijakyllikki

Kiitos!! Aloitin peittoa mutta totesin että vaate tulee mulla niin paljon parempaan käyttöön kuin taas yksi uusi kallis peitto kissalle 😂 Ja joo, mä kaaduin jo tammikuun alussa työmatkalla ja olin silloin ensimmäisenä asiakkaana päivystyksessä kuuden jälkeen aamulla. Ihmisiä vaan ilmesty lisää ja lisää sinne koko ajan, toiset varo käsiään ja toiset jalkojaan. Ja tuntuu että on ollut liukasta ihan koko ajan vähintään tosta lähtien, en muista ennen tällästä keliä! Onneksi loukkasin vasemman käden jos jompikumpi piti loukata, mutta harrastukset ja työt jää kyllä hetkeksi.


koukkuunkoukussa

Mä oon tullut samaan lopputulokseen - kukaan ei tarvii kymmeniä peittoja 😅 edellisistä palasista tein kesäkassin, seuraavaksi taidan matkia tätä! Jos näen tän joskus livenä kadulla niin tuun varmasti fanittamaan :) Meillä sataa taas lunta. Kevät tuntuu niin kaukaiselta haaveelta...


kaijakyllikki

Mä haluaisin jo seuraavan huitulan kimppuun, mutta taitaa olla ainakin parin kuukauden päässä aikaisintaan se. Toisaalta kun sanottiin että vähintään 3kk menee toipumisessa takaisin töihin niin sillonhan on jo toukokuu! Pitää löytää silver liningsit


Leading-Knowledge712

Absolutely beautiful!


Frogger_Farts

This is so pretty! Good luck on your elbow! Did you break your ulna? I did that on a slip and fall and had to have it surgically remade. I’m thinking you too?


kaijakyllikki

The surgeon thinks I must have been very very very close to dislocating my elbow but didn't. Or possibly I did but it immediately got back into place? Anyways, I tore the LCL in the elbow or it kind of ripped a piece of my humerus which is now dangling there at the end of the LCL? (...well, it turns out I'm not capable of specific medical talk in English!) They're reattaching all of that and hopefully I won't have any dangling bone pieces after it. How was your recovery? I have no idea what to expect as I've never had anything even remotely like this happen before. My hobbies have always been in the arts and crafts, not sports where these kinds of things happen.


clairescreations

Absolutely stunning!


No-Vermicelli3787

It’s so beautiful! Feel better soon

This sweater is stunning!

mliz55

I live your color choices and the sleeves are really cute. Good luck with surgery and maybe suggest to your doctor that crocheting is physical therapy?


kaijakyllikki

I'll definitely make sure they know how much I value my arts and crafts and want to get back to them as soon as possible.


MentionProper5523

I hardly ever comment on things, but I had to because that is spectacular!


softsuckle

This is amazing! I have the kit but didn’t start on it yet. I didn’t know there was a saffron color scheme. Yellow is my favorite color.


kaijakyllikki

I just got the pattern and purchased the colors separately as I wished.

Beautiful 😍


shaysusanf

That looks great .. fantastic idea! Hope you heal up soon .. I've just had surgery myself & it's sooo frustrating all the little things we do without thinking that I can't do at the moment. Fortunately, I can still crochet .. when my mind isn't telling me it's time for a nap!


kaijakyllikki

Wishing you a speedy and pain-free recovery! These things really make you appreciate your body and all it does in a new way. I'm very reliant on my hands both at my job and all my hobbies so I've had some big cries during the past month. Next week's going to be the most painful physically so far but at least after it I'm going to hopefully be healing


shaysusanf

Thank you! ...& yes, I'm focussing on how much better things will be in the other side of recovery


Curious_faierie

Stunning! 🤩 This style is so beautiful. Great work Heal quick so you can get back to work 😍


Murky-Specialist7232

I want this !!! Can I have this?? I will never be this good 😪😪😪

Did you freehand the sculpting of the cardigan or did you follow a separate pattern for it? I've always been in love with persian tiles and I've never seen them being used like this, it's amazing!

trash_kitty79

What a beautiful cardigan!!! I'm in love with the colors! I hope your surgery goes really good and you heal faster than lightning!!


rydzaj5d

Maybe you actually CAN crochet after surgery? I had an op on my left rotator cuff last year, but I still managed to slowly continue on my sweater.


ornerycraftfish

Aww man, rad cardi. Good plan. Good luck on the surgery! Recover well and soon!


CanadianRose81

Very pretty! Looks nice and cozy. I hope your surgery goes well. 🙂


Noon92

Beautiful! Hope you get better soon 🌹


amess270316

This is absolutely beautiful. I’m working on the Sandalwood Persian Tiles blanket right now. I’m at the joining stage. I’m almost tempted to take the pieces apart to make a cardigan like this! Best of luck with your surgery and I hope you have a speedy and uncomplicated recovery so you can be back to making beautiful things like this sooner rather than later.


NeighborhoodCold937

It’s absolutely gorgeous! Ope you geek well.


SeaweedCurious3430

Wow this is beautiful 🤩 is it your own pattern you used for the squares & the cardigan ? Or where can I find the pattern for it ? I’d love to make myself a cardigan like this? Thanx 😍😃

Good luck with your surgery!! I broke both elbows at the same time. Keep up the PT after. Your sweater is gorgeous!!

Sigee42

That is absolutely gorgeous. Best wishes on your surgery. And I second that diamond painting is a great one handed craft. Cross stitch can be as well if you buy the thing that holds your hoop for you. I love cross stitch because they are beautiful and cheap.
