the FIRST crochet top you should make as a beginner! | in-depth tutorial *read description first*

- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- Important info!! So 15" seems to be too much to take off of your bust measurement, especially if you have a larger bust size than I do. I think due to the yarn I was using, it made the project grow more so than it normally would. I would instead suggest taking off 10" instead of 15". When I measured my top at the end (after wearing) it was 21.5" long whereas my bust size is 31.5 -32" so it seems my project "grew/stretched" about 5".
If you're using the exact yarn I'm using, be aware that it grows quite a bit. So 15" still may be the right call for your project.
This is for all my beginner crocheters out there! I made this in-depth tutorial to hopefully help you out with constructing your first crochet top. It's fairly simple and includes all beginner-friendly stitches. Hope you enjoy ! xx

Heyy, i started one but it came out too small in it's length, it doesn't even reach my back. How would you suggest that i make it bigger? I am new to crochet and this is my first real project. Thank you!!
The tutorial is very well explained, just my boobs that it's too small that taking off 15" was too much lol thank you!!
Thank you for letting me know that it was too small! I don't have pattern testers for my videos, so comments always help me out! To make it bigger, I would suggest adding more half double crochets along the sides of the top. So instead of going straight into making the straps, I would chain 1 and flip your top so you are working on the side of it. Then I would make rows of half double crochet until you are satisfied with how much more length it has. Then I would fasten off that side and do the same thing to the other side of the top. After you are done with that, then I would attach the yarn into one of the corners of the top and then finish the straps and border portion of the video.
I will also put a note here for everyone else that 15" seems to be too much to take off of your bust measurement. I think due to the yarn I was using, it made the project grow more so than it normally would. I would instead suggest taking off 10" instead of 15". When I measured my top it was 21.5" long whereas my bust size is 31.5 -32" so it seems my project "grew/stretched" about 5".
@@brittanyalicecrochet thank you!! That was very helpful, your tutorial is great and i am very glad for the help...
I will finish my project soon. Thank you so much! 💕💕
@@dayanereis3033 hey, if you dont mind me asking..if you have finished, what was your measurement A and what did u end up doing for a nice fit? thanks
@@remkenyon heyy, i don't mind at all...
I still haven't finish, but it ended up with 18 inches.
After I finished the steps on the video, i repeated the process in each side, starting with a 4.5 inchs chain and half double crochet until the end, i connected the new piece with the old with single crochets.
Was that clear?
Depends on how tight your stitches are
Girl, I did this tonight in sage green and it took me about 2 hours. This tutorial was incredibly easy to follow and was very helpful. This is the first top I ever made and I’m so proud, thank you!!
yay, i'm so glad this was helpful for you! happy crocheting ^_^
I’m just about to try it
Hi can you tell me how much yard you used
That’s awesome!
2 hours, it's very fast. I made it during 5 days🥲
this top was the first project i ever did, and totally helped me start crocheting. I just revisited this pattern to use up about half a skein of some self-striping yarn, and the result is so cute and basically looks like cotton candy (i used a basic white yarn for the border and straps and it contrasts so nicely)
Adorable! :)
You did a really good job of showing which is the "next" loop. That's something I was always confused with crochet.
yes, a lot of tutorials never make that clear enough
This tutorial was fantastic! I have only been crocheting for like 6 months but this was so easy to follow and the pattern only took me a few hours to complete! Thank you!!!
Yay! Glad to help :)
a tip for people that are not that good in English: put the video on 0.75 speed. It's much more easier to understand what she's saying! And thank you for this simple tutorial!
Super easy, extremely well explained and made with such love! I've been crocheting for years but I always learn something from your vids. Also THANK YOU for. Showing how to measure around the body that's something not most creator show and it's super helpful for a beginner. 💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much for the kind comment! I’m glad it’s been helpful for you 💗
TIP FROM BEGINNER.
This is an amazing thing to make as a beginner, it's the second thing I've ever made in crochet, I used thicker, multicolour yarn to make it a little easier and less see through, it definitely works
Do u use the hook size the yarn says on packaging or same as them in the vid
@@yummyplayzroblox8898you should always use the same as the vid, the hook size on the packaging is just a suggestion for the yarn weight. But you can use any size hook with any yarn to change the effect, for example a thicker yarn with a smaller hook will make less gaps and vice versa, usually best to follow the tutorials hook size or close to it if you want to achieve the same affect.
if my math teacher can teach math like how she teaches to crochet a top, I would actually cry tears of joy.
haha this is a great comment!
This is the best step by step instructions I have ever seen in a crochet video!! Not only is the work super cute but I never once felt intimidated or scared to try what you were doing throughout the whole thing!! Thank you so much!!
I’m really happy to hear that!
Quick Tip for people with a slightly larger bust size: instead of just crossing the straps in the back, create a faux halter neck by knotting the straps just behind the neck at the height that sits best on you. Then just cross and lace up like in the video - this helps the top sit at the right height and not slip down into dangerous nip slip territory 😂 hope this helps someone! Great video and super pattern x
Awesome tip! Thank you :)
This top is sooo cute! I have never crocheted before but you made it seem so easy I HAD to try. In the end it took me about two days to finish it (representation for my fellow slow learners here), a lot of grumpiness because I had to re-do some parts.... (the straps made me go insane but that is definitely my fault, I tried the lazy method and ofc it came back to bite me in the ass).
In the end it came out kinda lumpy and I ran out of the same color yarn so I had to switch in the middle of it but I kept going just for fun... Now I have a lumpy white top with a splotch of black, but I am SO PROUD of myself. Am I going to wear it? Probably not. Will I try again and put to test the things I learned while doing this first try? DEFINITELY.
Thank you so much for having the patience of sharing this tutorial with all of us, your explanations were super clear and the fact that you went back and showed each step even if you had already explained it beforehand made it really easy to follow!! All the love!
That's awesome! The straps would definitely drive me crazy as a beginner lol. When I first started crocheting, I used to make tops like this that I absolutely never wore but I made them because it was fun and it helped me learn :)
You should definitely keep the top, even if you won’t wear it. That way you can see your progress
@@alexf1531 I will DEFINITELY keep it. I first thought I could reuse the yarn but I think it's more fun to preserve my frankentop so I can see the progress compared to the new ones I make! 😊
thank you so much! this is the realest comment i’ve ever seen regarding the knitting/crocheting community. it sounds like you just had fun while learning something new. amazing
(btw i also re-did the straps but the second time i used a smaller hook so the stitches automatically became a little bit tighter/neater). i am not completely finished but am already at the bottom edge whoo)
@@claudia8274 lmao frankentop is such a cute name
i just made this in like teal blue and it is sooo cute !! i totally didn’t read the description first but it still fit perfect and i’m a tight, slow crocheter so it took me probably 4 hours with breaks here and there, thank you!!!
that's awesome! i'm so glad it still worked for you :)
You are literally the ONLY channel who tought me like a real beginner!!!!❤ i've never crocheted before, but your tutorial was literally perfect. I know how to crochet now thanks to you🥺 thank you so much for being so detailed, i appreciate it, truly!!❤❤❤
I'm so happy I was able to help you get started :)
Hey I just wanted to thank you so much for this tutorial. It was ambitious but this is the first crochet project I have ever attempted. When I started the top, I knew nothing at all about how to crochet. This tutorial by itself taught me the basics and gave me the confidence to learn a new skill. It was so easy to follow and had the repetition I needed to learn each stitch. I have watched each part multiple times. My top is now almost complete and i am ready to try new projects. Thanks again.
Just finished mine! Worked on it over a few days, it's a little lumpy but my first project that wasn't a blanket and the first thing I've finished! Thank you for a clear, simple and fun project 😊
Awesome! Thank you for watching :)
first off, this tutorial was amazing! super easy to follow and totally beginner-friendly. i’ve only ever crocheted a teeny single crochet scarf before, but i wanted to try this and it looked easy enough. in total this top probably took me about 8 hours to complete, but it was so worth it. i learned a lot of new stitches doing this and i’m so proud of how it turned out!
my measurement A worked great. i took 15” off and it worked just fine! on the other hand, my measurement B was kind of tough. my initial measurement was 6” (i’m a B cup), and even though i wanted kind of a longer top, i was worried it might mess up the pattern so i went with 5.” now that i’m finished, i really wish i had gone till 6” or even 7” as that would’ve worked better for the length i wanted. in the end though, i ended up with exactly what was shown in the video and it’s still super cute!
despite the rounded corners, i’m planning on going back in on the bottom and adding a few more inches of half double crochet stitches to it. hopefully that’ll work! does anyone have any other ideas for expanding it??
edit: instead of adding more rows, i think i’m going to crochet a lace pattern around the bottom to make it longer! i’ll do another update when it’s done.
i made this in a few hours, keeping the 10" margin to subtract from measurement A, and it turned out so well that i came back to your channel to look for further crochet projects. Thank you!
This is one of the easiest videos I’ve ever watched I did it step by step with her and it ending up looking great! It was my first top I ever made and I’m so proud! If your wondering if this is a good video to help you I highly recommend!! It took me around 2 days and it was worth it 😆😆❤️
Lovely to hear! Thanks for watching
i just finished mine and i'm so happy!! my first project!! thank you for the super clear, well-paced instructions. i feel super motivated to try new things now!!
That's awesome to hear! Thank you for watching :)
Starting this now. Yes I'm a dude that likes to crochet for his wife. 🙂
that is so nice of you!! wish there were more people like you in this world!
Your a rockstar!
Hey did it fit?
@kimberleyking6001 yeah fits fine but I have some errors in the stitching so I'm not happy with it.
OMG THATS SO CUTE
This was my first wearable crochet project, and I'm very proud at how it turned out! your tutorial was very clear and easy to follow, thanks a lot for this video!
i love how this top looks, the only thing i found really hard was crocheting the last part. i couldn’t find the holes at all and i had to kinda make it up. now one of the back sides looks neat and the other is really messy but i loved the tutorial
That’s kinda what I normally do too, it really does just take practice ! glad you enjoyed the rest of it though :)
This will probs get lost in a sea of comments but this just came back onto my feed and I wanted to thank you. For some reason, despite never looking up crocheted anything before, this video came onto my feed a year or two ago. In typical ADHD fashion, I was like omg WHAT is this hobby I need it NOW. So I bought hooks. I bought the wrong kind of yarn. I made this top in scratchy acrylic, then again in weight 4 cotton. Since then, I haven't stopped. I joined a handicrafter group at my library and met a million old ladies who are really close with me now. I've made so many projects, from stuffies to wearables, and I've created so many gifts for friends and family. I thought it was something I'd abandon quickly, but I haven't, and I wanted to thank you for that. You're the whole reason I have all of these things in my life that I love so, so much.
So sweet,I'm glad you shared this ❤. I was just reading thru the comments.
I never comment on UA-cam videos, but this tutorial was amazing! This was my first ever crochet creation I made and it turned out so good. I was struggling at the start of learning crochet from watching other tutorials, but this video laid it out in a way that was so clear and easy to understand as a beginner. Thank you so much!! I’m so satisfied with my top :)
Wonderful! I'm happy to hear that! Thank you for watching :)
I just finished making this top. It’s my first crochet project and i’m super proud of myself. It’s not as perfect as yours though lol. Thank you 😊
Yay! It’s okay just keep having fun :)
I just finished my first top! Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial, it took me about 3 days to finish it but it was so worth it ☺️
This is honedtly the best tutorial ever! Every other beginner top tutorial i watched was going too quick and not showing closeups of what loop to crochet in. This one however was the easiest and best tutorial!
thank you so much for this tutorial! this was the first thing i ever crocheted, i used shitty $1 acrylic yarn, a horrible old crochet hook and i somehow still managed to make something that at least looks good in pictures 😂 i made so many mistakes, skipped crochet loops, made new ones etc but im so proud of myself 😇
that's awesome! glad you enjoyed :)
this is my first crochet project since i was a kid. soooo easy to follow, and only took me about 3 days! (i have a toddler and little time😅) definitely gonna follow more of your tutorials!!❤
I just finished right now, it worked really well also the explanation is very well and I could clearly understand the instructions. Going to make more of your tutorials:)
I’m so glad you enjoyed! :)
I just started crocheting and been struggle to try follow up with “easy” tutorials doing the granny square. Felt like giving up, but after watching this and tried making this I’m finally done with my first project! So happy! It was easy to follow, really good explanation! Took me two days 😆 it’s not the best but still proud! ❤
this top is absolutely amazing!! i finished it in like four hours and i’m so happy with the end product. The tutorial was well explained and although i made a bit of adjustments to mine i still love the clear instructions given! thank you so much
edit: i made multiple of these tops and also made a post on insta and everyone fell in love instantly and i’ve also made two for someone else once again thank you so so much for this tut omgg!
Love it! Thanks so much for watching :)
my first ever crotchet top project and let me tell u i loved it! the steps very easy to understand!
Thanks a ton!
I’m not fully finished making my shirt yet but it’s coming out SO GOOD. This is my first time crocheting ever and the way you explained it is perfect!
😭💖🙏🏽✨ This is the best tutorial seriously. Thank you. I’m so much more confident now to try crocheting other things in the future.
I’m so happy to hear that! :)
FR
this tututorial is soooo good , took me maybe 20 hours in total, i kept getting distracted lol, but it turned out SO CUTE
your video made me buy yarn to crochet for the first time and I have not finished my top yet, I'm only doing the borders but I'm so happy that I could understand every step!!
Awesome!! Hope it turns out well :)
This was my first ever crochet project, and it was so easy to follow the steps. I did make a mistake in the strap part but it was my fault because i didn't try it before cuz i was running out of time, so always recheck your work before weaving your work!!
im still making mine currently xP but im really enjoying the whole process and your tutorials are just *chefs kiss* i used your “crochet for absolute beginners” series to practice before i started this project and it was all so helpful!!! thank you :)
i just made this in like 5 hours and i'm really happy with how it came out! this was my first ever crohet project and it was super easy to follow. thank you so much!!
What yarn did u buy? I bought what I thought was the right yarn but it’s like bending in on itself and the strings are separating
@@FrogBean333 i bought a red heart super saver roll. make sure you’re using the right hook size because that could be why your thread is splitting.
HEHE I JUST FINISHED MINES! IT TOOK TWO DAYS ONLY IM SO HAPPY THANK YOU THIS WAS SO EASY TO FOLLOW AHHH PLEASE DO MORE I LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAINED THIS VIDEO I WAS NEVER EVER CONFUSED AND EVEN THE LINK YOU PROVIDED FOR THE WEAVING WAS EASY TO FOLLOW!
it’s also the first thing i’ve made that i have finished:)!
My boyfriend bought me a crochet kit in early December. I’ve been STRUGGLING to figure it out and no videos have helped me until this one. Thank you, truthfully. You’re awesome
I'm so happy I could help! :)
omg thank u so much!!! this was my first project and it ended up really well, i’m so excited that i found you bc your tutorial is really helpful for beginners like me lol
i deeply appreciate your time and your willingness 🥰❤️
I just finished this today and I am soooo happy with it, THANK YOU BRITTANY!!!! ♡ It was my first ever crochet project too! Thank you being such a beautiful Guide & bridging me into this Craft that I will continue pouring into for the rest of my Life.
best tutorial I have seen.....direction, visual, voice.....TY My daughter asked me to make these tops her her....I am a beginner
I did this in like 4 days cause I crochet really slow😭 but this was really easy to follow along and make! I modified the height bc I wanted a longer crop top and it looks great. Thank you for this amazing tutorial!
I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for watching :)
If i wanted to make it longer, do i just add more rows? (I’m only 2 mins in lol so idk which part you’d keep growing it yk)
@@tiaboddey just keep watching the video cause you’ll need measurement B which is the height of your top. The video says to stop when you get to the height of Measurement B but I continued until it was my preferred height. (I’m sorry I hope that made sense)
@@celine372 ahh yeah that made sense - thank youu
I’ve never crochet anything before and I recommend this it’s so good! At first I were a little skeptical but it came out so gorgeous and I’m so happy! Definitely doing some other things from the other tutorials!!!
I'm glad to hear that, thank you!
I dont even understand the step after the slip knot 😭 helpp
I know I commented like two weeks ago, but here I am again. I used this pattern again, but I did it correctly this time. the measurements of A- 10 worked so much better than A-15. I have a beautiful crop top (And my bf suggested i make it reversible so that it was less see-through and able to be two colors.) I absolutely love how it turned out. Thank you so much for your directions. :)
Yay! Glad to hear that :) Thanks so much for watching!!
Omg I loved this tutorial! I just started crocheting for the first time ever yesterday and decided to do some research on how, I decided I wanted to make a top and I found your tutorial. It was super easy to follow and really fun to make, thank you so much for contributing to my first crochet project, I'm so proud of it and I love it so much!!!! Thank you❤❤❤
So easy to make. Took me a minute but I did it and it’s my first crochet project!! Thank you!!
Omg first !!! I love your videos so much ive been crocheting for a while now but i cannot make up patterns for the life of me so youtube is my go to !! Im so glad you're back :))
thank you so much! & i'm glad I can help you ! ^_^
OMG I JUST SARTED TO CROSHET and this was my first thing, and OMG its was SOOO GOOD LIKE I CANT THANKS YOU ENOUGH
Good luck with your crochet journey, I'm happy I could help :)
This is the first crochet pattern I’ve ever been able to actually complete. Fantastic tutorial, super clear and easy to follow!!
this is my first time crocheting and i actually managed to make a really nice top! the only thing i would say is though (and this is my fault) is that i had a few holes in the boob bit which meant i had to go back in after and stitch them up! otherwise brilliant!!!
thank you for the very detailed tutorial, it's my first crochet project that actually looks nice, thank you
i'm so glad to hear that! thank you for watching
Thankyou for being so close up and in depth it really helps since I’m a visual learner:)
You’re a great teacher 😮😮😮I’ve tried to crochet for 6 months now. It was so difficult but ur guiding was so easy. Thanku🤭🤭❤️
i finished this the other day. thank you so much! such a simple and beautiful pattern.
I'm glad you enjoyed! :)
it was so cool seeing how a top like this was made, i’ve always wanted to crochet a top, this tutorial seems so simple to follow so once i get a nice coloured wool to use, i’ll be returning to rewatch
edit: i forgot to update. personally, the top didn’t work for me, i used the measurements and it was a lot smaller. even after trying a different way it didn’t work. this is probably due to the wool i used, because it’s worked well for everyone else
make sure to read the description before you make this :)
My my, I'm a beginner and my laces were irregular sometimes, and after seeing you do yours... Mi laces are perfect now. You explained so good also. Perfect
Oh wow, that's awesome! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you so much for making this! I've never crochet a single stitch in my life but with this I actually made a top from knowing absolutely nothing!! I can't believe it haha. It's really not as neat as yours and it took me like 10hrs over a few days (yes I got a bit obsessed haha) but I actually made something and it's really cute! Thank you so much :))
To anyone wondering whether to do it, I say go for it!! It's super fun and this tutorial makes it easy to understand:) just replay things if you need to!
This tutorial was awesome! I just finished making it... my third crochet project ever! It turned out wonderful. Thanks so much!
So happy to hear! :)
Its my 3rd one too!
I FORGOT TO READ THE DESCRIPTION NOW IM LOOKING MY TINY LITTLE CROCHET TOP 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I am very beginner but this top turned out so pretty! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made it too long though, so I had to figure it out somehow to make it shorter.
I just wanted to say thank you for this incredible tutorial. I've just finished my own top in dark pink, which I did have to adjust as the bust wouldn't reach my back at first. It looks super cute and it made me feel proud of my hands. Thank you 🌞
I'm so happy to hear that! :)
Just finished this after like 5 hours and I’ve never done a crochet anything before lol… turned out more the size of something for my 5 year old daughter than for me and the straps were uneven and lumpy but hey! One project down for practice; the next one can only go better I guess 😂😅
thank you!!! i’m a beginnnerrr corcheter and this is the first top i crocheted it took like 8 hours… but it’s so cute and the tutorial was so so easy to follow once i got it down! thank you again omg
I am a beginner and made my first ever top watching this video..thank you so much.. It helped me a lot 😭❤️ It took complete 2 days for me to do ..and Now it's completed..I am so happy
Tip 1. DONT SKIP THE MEASUREMENTS LIKE I DID. It fits well just a little snug
2. The only thing I’ve crochet was a blanket I started about 3 weeks ago and I couldn’t follow any other video but this one 🥹 I almost gave up but now I feel like I can do anything. It took me 3 days but definitely worth it
my very first crochet project, and it came out great!!! thank you for the easy to follow instructions :)
i'm so happy! thank you for watching :)
Amazing tutorial! Tried this to refreshen my skills, and it came out perfect. Gifted it to my mother in law and she LOVED it.
Thank you this video was my life for like 5 days and now I have a shirt to remember it always
Giiirl, this was my first project and I finished it some minutes ago! It looks soooooo cuteee, tysm ❤️
Yay! Thank you for watching :)
Omg I love this so much it was PERFECT for beginners I’m going to be re using this many times
I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching :)
this tutorial was amazing!! I have only been crocheting for about 4 days now and I was able to complete this with no problems! thank you thank you thank you!!!
Happy to hear!
As an intermediate chrochet person and this being my first top this helped a lot I even wrote the pattern down!❤
i'm not a begginer at crochet but i loved it so much that i made three pieces with diferent colours for myself! thank you for this video, your explanation is excellent and the pattern is so easy! also, i'm brazilian, just for letting you know where your video has arrived :)
i'm really glad you enjoyed it so much! & that's awesome! hello from Florida ^_^
I’m working on this right now, and it’s so easy! Thank you for this tutorial, I’m a beginner
so glad you're enjoying it! :)
OMG GURL YOUR LIFE SAVER FOR REAL✨✨I always was trying some tutorials froom other channels and I was getting angry bc I cannot do the things they DID.BUT I FOUND YOU CAN I MADE THE FRIST ONE AND IT WAS CUTE AND I MADE 2 MORE
you got new sub❤❤
I’ve never crocheted before in my life, not even a single stitch. I am currently on bed rest due to pregnancy complications and thought what the heck. Had some materials picked up for me and found this video. I’ll say it’s definitely not perfect and took me three days, but this tutorial was so simple and easy to follow and I am so proud of my very first project! Thank you 💕
THANK YOU so much for this tutorial! It's my first crotchet top and I love how it looks 💖 Really it's lovely, maybe not so good like yours but still I love it💖💖
i'm so happy to hear that! :)
don’t follow her measurements. Did the full top just to find out that by taking out all the inches she said it didn’t even slightly reach my back
I followed them and it turned out much longer than it should be haha
I guess its all about the yarn
Same.. I'm like 3 rows in tho so I'm gonna start over I guess
Also, what measurements would you recomment??
Bro she clearly said in the video that these r her measurements, you shd make your own measurements before starting, ssly 🤦
@@saraswathipai5704 I think that person meant the way of measuring, not the actuall numbers
And In my case it didnt work when I tried to adjust them like she said
It was my mistake to follow a tutorial of someone whos body looks very different from mine tho lol
@@saraswathipai5704 Obviously we did measure for ourselves. The issue is that substracting the same number from their measurement cant possibly work for everyone, there isn't a consistent ratio.
I completed this as my first crochet project (after a small square to learn the stitches). It took me about 3 days, but I did have to pull it apart twice after realising it was way too big. I saw the comments saying it came out too small and to only remove 10 inches, well my yarn was stretchy that even 15 inches still left it on the larger size. Not even sure how many inches I removed in the end.
This was a super easy to follow tutorial for a beginner and I love my end result.
It's tricky! I should have included a gauge swatch to help out with that, but I only recently started using those. I'm glad it worked out in the end :)
As an absolute beginner, this was my first top (I've made hats, a bag, and booties. Lol) this was super easy to follow and turned out great for my first try!
Hey! Thank you so much, it’s so easy and so cute! I’m very proud of my new crochet project. Good luck
I'm glad you liked it! Enjoy your new crochet top ^_^
Yay! Luckily, I had one skein of 24/7 Cotton in my stash in the color charcoal! Just started the foundation chain☺️ will you in a post on Instagram once it’s complete. I look forward to your content 💕
Ah perfect!! I hope you enjoy the video! xx
Girl thanks! The explanation is very detailed and I loved it! At first the top is not matched like yours, it’s just my boba is so small 😂, it doesn’t even reach my back 😂but anyways thanks! I’ve finished my first project ❤
This is SUCH a helpful tutorial. My first one is a bit wonky but that's completely on me for not using the right size needle. I'm sure my next one will be better! Thank you so much for making this 😁😁
Why did you subtract 15?
Tip: don’t take 15 inches off the first crochet length without measuring the braid around your chest ! Everyone has different body types and 15 inches off was like taking away half my length and it just didn’t work for me. I made it longer in the beginning because I measured against myself and saw that it would be too small and then crocheted the length I wanted😊 Everything is relative
I wish I saw this earlier 😱 I crocheted mine and took 15 inches off and I had a massive gap at the back and didn’t fit most of the way round. Instead should I take 10 inches off to leave space to tie it?
Omg I love how you patiently describe every step. Thank you!
You did the absolute best work. I have been crocheting for a while and watch many different tutorials and I was so impressed with your video and work!! Thank you so much for sharing. I made this in olive green. My daughter is going to love it ❤👏
Hi, I followed your video as my very first go at crochet and I ended up with too short straps as I didn't realise that they'd be woven to the back as well. Do you have any suggestions on how to correct this or add more length to the straps? I love your video by the way! Pretty easy to follow :)
Hmmm, maybe you can attach your yarn to the end of the strap and make another chain off of the strap followed by slip stitches just like you did before! Hopefully that will help :)
Thanks so much! I'll try that out :)
Hi, love this so much!!! I was just wondering how do you know when your strap is long enough? Thank you so much for this vid.
What you can do is once you’ve chained what you think is enough for you, hold the top up to your body and place the chain over your shoulder and across your back to the opposite side (like is shown in my thumbnail). Then grab the chain at that point. Pull the top away from your body and place it down on a table/floor, then criss cross the chain down the body of your top (starting at where you are holding the chain) like I show at the end of my video. Make sure to leave enough of a chain so you can tie your top as well! I hope this kind of helps, it’s hard to explain. Please watch the “how to weave in straps” portion of the video to get an idea of how long your chain should be. For me it’s usually trial and error and I don’t have a specific way to know if my strap is long enough until I try it on!
Gostaria que explicasse em português por favor
This must have been the best tutorial I have ever seen. Well done girl!!!
Hi! I love this video, it is so easy to follow and extremely well explained. I was just wondering whether the wool you used was thick or thin? :)
thank you! It is a medium (size 4) yarn, which is also called worsted, aran, or afghan.
@@brittanyalicecrochet Okay thank you very much! Would this top be able to be crocheted using thinner or thicker crochet too?
@@edenjones9999 yep! You can use whatever size you’d like! Just be aware when making the border that using a thinner yarn will make it smaller and using a thicker yarn will make it bigger. So if you just keep that in mind you can easily adjust it to the yarn size you have
Gracias!!! Está bellísimo 😍
Gracias por ver ❣️

This was my first ever crochet project n it took me 3 days! Thank you so much for a through tutorial, I've watched many videos earlier but yours actually made me want to take action. Gonna follow more of your tutorials for sure!! :)
That's great to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed :)
Omg! This was my first serious crochet project. Unfortunately, it turned out to be too small, but the second time, after some small corrections, it will definitely turn out great, because now I know what to change! Thank you luv!
you are so talent!!! I'm going to do a black one. Kisses from Brasil
Thank you! A black one will be nice :)
