THANK YOU SO SOOOO MUCH! I had previously given up on ever being able to knit because I've been crocheting since I was a kid, and I just felt like it was going to take WAY to loog to get to the point where I could do it relatively quickly or have it not look like a 2yr old did it. But this really sucked because I love how knitting look. I like it much better than crochet. (I'm always modifying or making up my own stitches to resemble knitting. Anyway I had no idea there was another way to knit!!!!! This looks like it will be a lot more natural for a chrocheter to learn. I think if I just practice I might be able to get it. Thank you so very much for this video!
I just finished making this summer top. Thanks to your video instructions, it came out pretty good. It's a little small, but I think I can stretch it out enough for a better fit. I love it
This is so lovely. I might dread using a small yarn with the moss stitch, but since I have it in my stash and spring is a few months away... by spring I should have a new summer top! Thank you.
I think my problem is that I love everything you make, but don’t have the time to make it all. (That doesn’t mean I’m not already yarn shopping for this project- hehehehe) Seriously though, thank you for making such beautiful designs and putting in the time to make such easy to follow tutorials!
I love this top. Instead of doing a gauge swatch, I measured my bust at 36", so could I just chain both panels at 18"s each? Or 19"s to be on safe side? Like I can hold it up to me after a few rows to see where the sides would meet for seaming? And if it is stretchy yarn, I would just stick with the 18"s wide or maybe even 17"s wide for each panel . Does that make sense?
I don't do gauge swatches...figured I didn't need to..I was wrong and just did chains like you have said and ended up with panels that are too large or small. I always forget about stretching etc. I have 4 wips that I have to frog. You'd think I would have learnt.
Love this cute simple top. Saw it on your website & love it immediately...I made one using Premier Cotton Fair from my stash & it turned out really nice. Received many compliments. Highly recommend.Thank you very much!
Briana, I bought the pattern but when I do the recommended number of chains44 for a large, the chain fits around me like a blanket. I have a 44" full bust and a 44" inch hip. What number of chains should I do for a 3 weight yarn 4mm hook? My width is 22" half body circumference and the chain is just too wide. Please advise. Thanks, I can't find where to email you. I have also purchased 4 of your classes.
First I would start by doing a gauge swatch, sometimes the chain row isn't always the best indicator of how wide something might be. I have more information on how to do a gauge swatch and what to do if your swatch doesn't match the gauge in the pattern: brianakdesigns.com/what-is-crochet-gauge-and-how-to-fix-it/
Beautiful but really not for a beginner! Needs to be much slower and close ups of the individual stitches, turns etc. I'll get there eventually but it's a case of two steps forward one step back!
@crypticcurls just a suggestion in case you didn't know, you can slow down the video by hitting the cog up on the right hand side and select playback speed. I hope this helps

My next top project. I made one ( different style) with bamboo yarn. It's so soft and I look forward to wearing it this summer

Thank you looks easy
Thanks for this beautiful pattern. I’m just frustrated because of the edges that i never get that beautiful straight like yours. Some tricks?😊
Magnifico ❤❤❤
I love this sweater .can you tell me how many stitches i need to start with for a large plz ty
I ❤ this!
Beautiful wauw👍🏻☀️
How to adjust the starting chain? 85 is still to wide for me. Thank you
Thank you Briana for such a nice top! I have a question: Can we add a short sleeve to it??
If you wanted to work around the sleeve opening I believe you could
اreally appreciate ❤
The side before seaming, do we do single crothet all over the side of just leave it as it is?
Would you change anything in the pattern if you start with a ribbing?
Hi how many balls of each colour do I need for small thanks
Hi, pretty top but I can’t figure out how many yards I need for a large/xlarge top
hi love this pattern but i find the number of chains for the L & Xl please help me
❤❤❤

Why do you start with a chain and not a Foundation stitch? Wouldn’t the chain make the bottom border restricting?
