for anyone with bigger arms that doesn't want to have to make the front and back panels super long to fit your arm, i chained more than one at the armpit area between the panels (in multiples of 4, i did 16) and worked into them like the foundation chain to make the sleeves which worked really well!!
NVM I MADE AN EXTRA BOX 13 ROWS BACK Hi there, after i started the new set of chain (for the neckline) instead of ending with 2 chains i have 4, i have counted them again and again and am sure that i did crochet the right number (i had 18 squares in between so i did 18×4 + 5 = 72+5 = 77 and i have exactly 77 chains)
hi! I'm struggling a bit with the sleeves - I made the body a bit long and now the sleeves are really wide. Would you recommend just dropping a few stitches (idk the right word - but skipping a few of the holes on the row below so the whole thing becomes smaller) after first connecting the front and back? Or is it better to just keep it the same and then sew it to make it smaller? Similarly, if I wanted to make a bell sleeve (ie. wider at the end), is it fine to just add two dc + ch3 into one loop a few times as I work my way around the sleeve? Do you have any tips for that? (thank you so much for the tutorial!!!!)
Hi! Thanks for your comment. So if you made the panels longer than the tutorial shows the arm sleeve opening will be wide too. You can either crochet the panels and sleeves separately, then sew them together so the sleeve opening won't be too wide... or you can follow tutorial but as you crochet your sleeves, skip 1 hole in a few rows which will narrow down the sleeves, I would choose a hole close to the armpit area, so it's not as visible when wearing your shrug. For a bell sleeve you'll do increasing stitches, so exactly as you explained. So your understanding is 100%, but I think for a better finished look it might be better to crochet the front and back panels, then doing 2 rectangles for the sleeves and sewing them on instead of following my tutorial.
Hello and thank you for your wonderful pattern! I was wondering if am i supposed to leave the stitch marker in the first found of the sleeves and crochet around it, or do i move it with every round?
Hi! Thanks for your support and comment. When crocheting your sleeves, you don't really need a stitch marker, because your crocheting in the round the whole time until you reach the sleeve length you'd like. If you want to keep track of your number of blocks (stitches), to make sure there's no increase or decrease you can use the stitch marker, and keep it in the first or last hole, moving it with each row. It's really not necessary though. Happy stitching 🧶
@@stitchedbychante thank you so much, this is the first clothing piece i have made for myself and i am VERY much loving it!! will 100% use this pattern again and again :)
aww your 1st crochet piece? I'm honored that you chose my tutorial and pattern for it. I'm sure you'll feel stunning when wearing it. No better feeling than getting compliments in something you made yourself. Especially when you know you look good 😏💅
To make it longer you will need a different pattern. This pattern is meant for a no sew, cropped shrug, so the length of the front + back panels = sleeve width . If you want a full length mesh shrug, I'd advice you crochet x2 squares for the front and back bodice and then x2 rectangles for the sleeves, then hand stitching (sewing) them together.
Thank you for your comment. For the stitch markers to create your neckline, you will mark off on the 4th corner (leftside) and then 3rd corner (right side).
I'm little confused with the marker on the sleeve...when you started you left the first square and did one DC inthe second square...am I supposed to start the second row also leaving the first square
The marker was used only so you can count how many squares you have after you have stitched the first row, and you keep that number the same for every row (so you know there aren't any mistakes). The sleeves are very easy, it's just the beginning that's abit tricky. You just keep stitching ch3 + 1 dc into next ch3 sp, until you reach the sleeve length you like. I usually try on while stitching so I know for sure when to stop. Once you reach the sleeve length you're happy with, after the last chain 3, you will stitch 1 dc into the dc stitch, instead of the chain stitch, and then slip stitch into the next stitch and fasten off.
was wondering if I could get some help. I'm using a 6mm hook, I did 10/4=2.5, I saw in a comment that you replied to, to round up if you have a decimal so I put a marker in the 3rd (left) and 2nd (right) but I've ended up with 3 boxes on the left and 1 box on the right with the neckline? confused how this happened
Hi ! Thanks for your comment. Let's say working side instead of left/right. So when doing the neckline row, you start with the calculations same as you did, on the working side mark off the 3rd square, and on the other side the 2nd square. Don't forget when you start, it's ch6 and 1 dc into that beginning (1st) square, cont. ch3 - 1 dc into ch sp, until your marked square, count the squares in between markers and x4 , Ans + ch5 = # of chains you'll make for your neck hole, then cont. stitching ch3 - 1 dc into ch sp, as normal starting at the marked square, ending with 1 dc into ch3 of ch6.
Thanks for your comment. It all depends on your measurement, and your hook size. Shoulder 2 shoulder, or full bust/2. My best bet is 70, or 76 chains. Measure it after foundation chain then again after row 1 to make sure it's not too big, or too small.
Thank you for your comment. I hope this explanation helps. @17:50 For sleeve 1, you will start where you ended the back panel. Then ch1 and 1 dc into the corner stitch of the other panel - now connecting the 2 panels. @23:20 For sleeve 2, after flipping work inside out, you will slip on yarn along the bottom corner of one panel, then ch1 and then 1 dc into the corner stitch of the other panel, now connecting your front and back panels to stitch sleeve 2.
Your foundation chain might have more chain stitches, but as long as you follow the pattern and according to your measurements. It should be 100%. Your stitches will also be tighter, but I'd only recommend 3.5mm if your yarn is light weight like DK, worsted or lighter.
Measure your shoulder 2 shoulder length and make a foundation chain = to that measurement. It also depends on the size hook and yarn you're using, but if it's a 4.5mm and cotton, I'd say foundation chain of 60 or 56 (minimum) for tight fit 😊. I'm an XS and did 64 chains for tight fit
As made to measure, it is shoulder 2 shoulder (or half of bust). Make a foundation row of chains in multiples of 4, equal to that measurement. ** I'm an XS and I started with 64 chain sts + ch 6 (to turn work)
Like I said in previous reply, don't worry about how to end the sleeve for each row. The only important thing is how you start, then its just ch3 and 1 dc into next ch sp the whole time, and then the fasten off once you reach your preferred sleeve length. Please let me know if you have any more questions so I can help out. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel 🙏🧶❤️
Thanks for your comment. Working with the number of blocks or squares you have. I have 16 / 4 = 4. I will mark off the 4th square on the left side, and then 3rd square (Answer - 1) on the working side (where the hook is). But say your answer was 5, you will mark off the 5th square on the left side, and then the 4th square (5-1) on the working side. Hope this helps 🧶🤞 9:40

If you want to make the top longer do you just keep working the same pattern along the hemline? Would you need to increase stitches along the body?

If you want a full length mesh shrug, I'd advice you crochet x2 squares for the front and back bodice and then x2 rectangles for the sleeves, then hand stitching (sewing) them together.
@@stitchedbychante thank you I'll try your suggestion.
to start i did 52 chains which made me have 13 boxes. 13/4 is 3.25, so how would that work for the stitch markers?
Thank you for your comment. For the stitch markers to create your neckline, you will mark off on the 4th corner (leftside) and then 3rd corner (right side).
How would I do 3.75?
How much yarn should i use to make this😢

Unfortunately, I only found a 2 mm hook. What should I do
hii how many chains should i make for size s i can measure so please help me
Hi! Thanks for your comment. Do 68 or 72 as your foundation chain, then ch6 to turn and cont. pattern from row 1. That should fit a Small
How many chains for a medium size
Thanks for your comment. It all depends on your measurement, and your hook size. Shoulder 2 shoulder, or full bust/2. My best bet is 70, or 76 chains. Measure it after foundation chain then again after row 1 to make sure it's not too big, or too small.
So I’m confused about the underarm, how did you join the armpit together, I’m lost 😢
Thank you for your comment. I hope this explanation helps. @17:50 For sleeve 1, you will start where you ended the back panel. Then ch1 and 1 dc into the corner stitch of the other panel - now connecting the 2 panels. @23:20 For sleeve 2, after flipping work inside out, you will slip on yarn along the bottom corner of one panel, then ch1 and then 1 dc into the corner stitch of the other panel, now connecting your front and back panels to stitch sleeve 2.
Hello; I have 23 stitches and when I divide it’s 5.75 stitches how should I divide it up?
You will round up to 6.
what if i made it with a 3.5 crochet hook
Your foundation chain might have more chain stitches, but as long as you follow the pattern and according to your measurements. It should be 100%. Your stitches will also be tighter, but I'd only recommend 3.5mm if your yarn is light weight like DK, worsted or lighter.
@@stitchedbychante thank you so much 💓
Please how do I make it bigger
How many chains do I need for an XXS 😭?
Measure your shoulder 2 shoulder length and make a foundation chain = to that measurement. It also depends on the size hook and yarn you're using, but if it's a 4.5mm and cotton, I'd say foundation chain of 60 or 56 (minimum) for tight fit 😊. I'm an XS and did 64 chains for tight fit
@ thank you very much 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
What are the sizes for beginning chain eg. Xs
As made to measure, it is shoulder 2 shoulder (or half of bust). Make a foundation row of chains in multiples of 4, equal to that measurement.
** I'm an XS and I started with 64 chain sts + ch 6 (to turn work)
Can you please help me how do you end the first row of the sleeve and start the second row
Like I said in previous reply, don't worry about how to end the sleeve for each row.

I need help how you did the fire hand please
Hi there. Thanks for your comment. I'm not understanding the question. The fire hand?
❤
I dont get the quick maths part
It's just basically figuring out the neckline and how many stitches are needed. Is there a specific part you're struggling with?
You lost me on the math to place the stitch markers
Thanks for your comment. Working with the number of blocks or squares you have. I have 16 / 4 = 4. I will mark off the 4th square on the left side, and then 3rd square (Answer - 1) on the working side (where the hook is). But say your answer was 5, you will mark off the 5th square on the left side, and then the 4th square (5-1) on the working side. Hope this helps 🧶🤞 9:40
😅@@stitchedbychante
She said no sew when i literally see a needle a few seconds in...
It's for weaving in your ends.
Please how do I make it bigger
If bigger in size, add more chains to your foundation row
How much yarn should i use to make this😢
It depends on your size, the bigger the more yarn you'll need, but not more than 200g, or 2 balls of yarn
