    So so cute Chandi... I love the simplicity of this pattern, this definitely will be on my to make list. I've just finished my first crocheted cardigan (even though I've been crocheting for over 15 yrs) as the fear of the unknown is real... I am so grateful for your encouragement, beautiful words not to mention the gorgeous yarns and patterns... Thank you Chandi, Tim and all the Expression Fibre Arts family 🙋🏻‍♀️💖

    Omg, I had started a top almost 50 years ago, in some gorgeous yarn, top down raglan, stopped just before armhole, so maybe I can finish it...ttfn

    Yay! It's Friday so it must be "Chan-day" 🤣 I love this method for making a sweater. The technique for making the sleeve holes is quite clever and easy. Thanks, Chandi! ❤️😊

    Thank you for making a video that encourages people to crochet garments. When I started crocheting I never thought about making sweaters (I can't even sew, why would I want to make the fabric myself and stitch it all together?), but after trying it they became my favorite type of project. The more makers who get the courage to do it, the more we'll get to see lovely new patterns like this one =)

    Chandi, just wanted to leave a comment what a helpful video this is for beginners. I'm advanced but love watching these because I may find a tidbit or two. This is an adorable little pattern. I've never worked with fingering yarn on a top before but am starting to because of the minimal bulk and beautiful drape. I'm very skin sensitive and need smooth and soft so I'm going to try your yarn. It looks heavenly.

    Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I crocheted a top YEARS ago following another designers directions and it was a success BUT it was too big around the collar sleeve portion 😢 Since I have some of your yarn I will try this pattern ☺ So glad this us not knit (even tho I consider myself an adventurous knitter) I am very confident with crochet. Thanks Chandi for all you do & wish me luck😉

    I tried my first crocheted sweater about 20-ish years ago when I was a college student. At the time I would have called it a disaster, but honestly the only problem was I didn't do a gauge swatch and it was about five sizes too big. It was a pretty hilarious moment when it literally fell down my body and landed around my ankles. Sadly, after that all I made for years were blankets and hats which I felt like didn't require as much attention to something like "gauge." lol This looks pretty straight forward, I think I'll give it a shot and not skip the swatch. :-)

I think I may make this for my almost 22 year old granddaughter. I think it may be a nice surprise! I’m sure with all of my family it will fit someone, lol. This tutorial has been very helpful!
