- Updated Simple Crochet Top Tutorial bit.ly/2UjmwK0
Hi there, I decided to remake the tutorial for this simple crochet top design because I needed to make this as a base in order to complete my next design - okay, that doesn't make sense. Basically, I wanted to update my simple crochet top tutorial so that you have a more solid understanding of my next crochet top design; which incorporates a simple crochet top design as it's base... Anyway, I'm sorry if this tutorial goes pretty fast, but it was a last minute decision to make this tutorial & I have another tutorial for the same exact design anyway, so I thought I would just upload this as a refresher.
However, if you are new to crochet and are looking for a more beginner friendly tutorial on this design, please visit the link above for a much more easy-to-follow tutorial. Thank you, & happy crocheting!

♢ Can I buy your tops? ♢
No, I do not sell the tops I make.

♢How do you wash your tops? ♢
Wash by hand, hang dry

♢How many chains/ rows did you make? ♢
-Unless I state it in the video, I did not keep track of how many I made. I make up the pattern as I go and make as many chains and rows I feel will fit my body.

You can ask your questions in the comments below for others to answer. I have concluded my offer for online tutoring and will no longer respond to ANY messages regarding crochet questions, charts, patterns, tips, etc. I'm retired(:
I just wanted to post this because there have been a number of wonderful people tagging me in their crochet posts and messaging/ commenting on how much I have helped them. I just wanted to give back(: Also, I've had this tutorial on my computer for a while haha But normally I won't make crochet top tutorials until my last one reaches 1k likes. Remember, I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY CROCHET QUESTIONS ON ANY OF MY VIDEOS OR SOCIAL MEDIA. I will not allow myself to be a free online personal tutor. It was stressful 😅 Feel free to ask your question in the comments & if you can, answer other people's questions (much appreciated) but know that I only provide this tutorial and any additional help will come with a charge (so people don't take advantage of me, get help from me, and then take my design and sell them on their website as their own [ aughh ] )

Okay, to my fellow big boob community, and itty bitty tiddy alike, A start with 10, B starts with 12, C starts with 14, D starts with 16, and so on adding 2 for each cup size increase. I have found that a good area for how many rows to do is the same amount you started with if you want a good amount of coverage. Don't be too upset if you need to fiddle around with the stitches, it will take a while to get it right, you can do it! Hope this helped 💕
Thank you so much
I was actually looking for a comment like this one. Thank you so much!
ah! i was just going to wing it and hope it worked - thanks for the tip!
Thank you, I will use it!♥
my tripple D's thank you very much
Omg thanks so much! I'm 10 years old and I love knitting because my grandma did. She passed when I was a baby so I never got to see her. She inspires me a lot. I'm making this for my 13 sister for the summertime. Thanks for your help! I love your videos. :)))
its crocheting not knitting
@@arielbissessar2396 cool for you
@@arielbissessar2396 they know they said "and I love knitting"

I am an experienced crocheter, I absolutely LOVE your technique and design. Thanks so much for creating it and posting this tutorial Krystal. I am working on healing from cancer, and this helps keep my hands and mind active when my body needs rest (I hate sitting and being in bed, so crocheting this is motivation to rest LOL I am stubborn!!). YOU ROCK and you totally made my day good today. Also, it gives me something to look forward to wearing that is comfortable. THANK YOU KRYSTAL!
I’m 55 and been crotcheting since I was nine. I have to say your lesson is very good! Clear and easy instructions and made a very nice top! Thank you
You are so welcome! And thank you for your kind words!(:
@@krystaleverdeen Question, when someone makes these do they add fabric to the inside ? Or are the stitches tight enough you don’t need to?
This is my first ever crochet project and I finished it yesterday, I made a the body a bit too small for myself so I took it out and im starting it over :)
Edit: ayee I finished it again yesterday and it fits and looks so perfect :)))
How many yarns do you need? Please answer💕
This is my first project too! 😂
@@viljabjorvik9428it took mine one skein of 100g
I’ve got a US cup size guide for u guys!
A cup= 10 chains + 20 rows
B cup= 12 chains + 22 rows
C cup= 14 chains + 24 rows
D cup= 16 chains + 26 rows
E cup= 18 chains + 28 rows
Omg ty ty ty ❤❤❤😅
Wish I read this before I made the dang thing 😢
ty so much
Should have seen this earlier. But it's just what I've done. A cup ended up with 30stiches on each side of the cup

me, a beginner: "why we goin so FAST??"
Yeah I'm a beginner too.. She's going fast
@@beafoxxylady you can try slowing the speed
@@jolieobi but still, I will lose track of what is happening/which stitch to knit in etc
she did say that she has a separate video for beginners on how to do the cups and the body bit isnt that hard and you can rewind the video as needed
me, not a beginner: "why we going so FAST???"
As a beginner, I can say that this tutorial is really nice! It was easy to follow and I managed to finish this project in 2 days! This was my first time crocheting a crop top and it turned out really nice! Thank you! 💕
por favor la esplicacion del tuturial en español. Gracias
@@marinarodriguez4819
Sabes que no todo el mundo sabe español ¿verdad? Utilicé el traductor de google. por lo que debería.
it hurt my feelings when she said she's going to unravel it because it looks so freaking pretty
Wow! This is the most clear and educational crochet tutorial that I have ever watched! I love the way she talks you can clearly understand.Thank you for sharing this ideas.
I am just starting this now for my daughter , I cant wait to make this !! How it turned out great for u
I already finished it!!i already have 2 of these and I just work this for 3-4 hours and I really love it,my customers love it!!!tysm
when you have no idea how to crochet but still watch the whole video
Story of my life
It’s not too hard! I learnt in around 20 minutes
@@malakbouasri9647 one direction 😼
I want to try and crochet a top and if it turns out good, I may try and do more.
I’m learning. It’s not hard but I’m definitely not at this point yet
I've been doing crochet over four months and I have to say my tops looks perfect. Good tutorial easy to follow I'm really happy thanks
I was so devastated when she said she was gonna unravel it
Exactly! 😣
same, it looked so pretty
And its so cute
Yeah 🙈🙈🙈
This is my first time trying to make a top and only my second “big” project. It took me about a week but it came out amazing and it took me a while to make sure I was doing it right but this video helped soooo much and was an amazing reference
I learned how to crochet when I was young and I havent done it in awhile its so fun
I love knittingy grandma and my mom taught me and now Im being taught by you thank you for your clear instructions unlike the others ❤🎉
I just finished mine today! This tutorial was super easy to follow, though it took me WAY less than 1020 yds to make
Awww how many yards did it take you?
@@salmaakter-ri3hg for me it took 250 m :D
@@katerinasrbova2831 Awww thats nice :)
this is the best crochet crop top tutorial i have followed!! i have followed three others and i struggled with all of them. this one has gone so well and i am so proud of my piece!! i’m not finished yet, i have the band to do and then i’ll be done :) i wish i could show a picture
Making this for my daughter. She loves it already and I'm not even done. Lol
my cups are curving and idk why its making the rest of the project flare out and i think its because its curved. please help
Awe I hope she loved it , making this for my daughter.
@@sparkletrotter162 the youtuber says something like, "if you do not go into the very first stitch or the next row your cup will curve. Another possibility is not chaining one after each row or crocheting too tightly." Hope this helps!
So cuteeee 💕
I haven't crocheted in years so if course this is the first project I throw myself into
She explained it so well! I’m a beginner, and i actually understood it :)
definitely subscribing. she's very detailed, and even if its not one of her beginner beginner videos, she still used terms that beginners can understand and use to learn. thank you and i'm trying this after i do my homework!
Since I am only a freshman, and don't really like exposure, I'm sewing/ putting yarn across the front a little above the exposure so I feel a little more comfortable, I will post a short on my channel to show you what I mean, I don't post much, so it shouldn't be hard to find, I hoped this helped some of you who have the same problem I do (self conscience/ don't like being exposed)
❤ thank you for this video btw, I have been wanting to make these tops really bad ❤
Also to make it a bit easier and less time taking, for the bottom part where you single crochet back and forth, I ended up double crocheting because it made it faster for me, and easier.
Hope all this helped ❤
i can't find the video on your channel??
I was sitting here thinking “omg I never miss the first stitch!”
Next thing I know, my cup is curving
Just stretch it, mine also curved and I just stretched it. You probably already solved your problem cause your comment is already a month old so yeah k bye
@@pritongtae4352 lmfaooo “so yeah k bye” im cackling
This tutorial is so easy to follow. I’m going to start making mine in light blue and I’m hoping it turns out good. I’ve started crocheting just over a year ago and I’ve always wanted to make a clothing piece. I have started a few of my own patterns for clothes but they’ve just never turned out. Once I start this and once I finish it I’m going to be super happy (in hopes that it turns out good lol). ❤❤
WOW YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLE! I think I am going to start crocheting but that stitch with the three loop thing looks DIFFICULT
Omg this was so easy. I can only make scarves and blankets. I never thought I could make a top. Thank you!!!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!! You were right at the end of the bra cup chain one then single crochet into the chain One Stop the bra cup from curving it goes straight across evenly thank you for that tip
Thank you for this tutorial! I just finished making it over the span on the past 3 days off and on I finished the edge with a scalloped edge (also one of your tutorials) and I can’t wait to wear it!!! This was pretty user friendly especially because I’m not the best when it comes to crochet. I’ve only ever made baby blankets before this so I’m surprised how well it turned out. I might try another one of yours soon I just wanted to thank you for putting this video out. I wish you would make more but I also understand why you don’t. But thank you again!!!
does it really take 1020 yd of yarn to make this crocet top?
thats a really good idea to add something extra on the bottom! I'm going to do that!
i just watched the beginners and learned the basics… im going on vacation and i planned on making a top soooo i’ll start right now
I made this in like 2 days and I am super happy with the results!😍
This was one of the best most informative crochet video I’ve seen! It was easy to follow and understand.
i did it (doin a little bit of improv along the way lol) and i’m so happy w the result!!! one thing is i’m worried about the reliability of the strings and their tightness 😅 so i’m gonna have to figure that out tomorrow lol. awesome tutorial though!
This tutorial is great. Simple & to the point. Clear directions. I am so glad you created this. I will send a pic of my version of your design. With appropriate credit.
I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on shorts if possible. I really want to make a pair of pants for a friend and if I can get the top part done the legs will be a breeze. I love all of your projects!
That's a good idea!
Please
I am currently working on this, though not exactly as is, to go with a skirt I just finished. Thank you for the pattern.
I didn’t crochet in years but thx to you I made this in one day
this was honestly one of the best tutorials ive seen in a while, I was actually able to see and understand, thank you so much!!!
Just finished!!!! It looks great. I love it! Thank you for this tutorial!!!!
Made one from this video! Deep green color and it came out so pretty! Thank you for a great tutorial!
This top is so cute and elegant! I love this so much🥺🤩
This was my first project after taking up crocheting. It turned out really well thanks to your easy to follow tutorial! Thank you so much!
Hey what was the needle size?
@@shreyapinto1729 5m
i am currently making one, this is my first crochet project. the yarn i am using as a little thinner so it is taking longer. i am working on the first cup and it is taing a while but i cant wait to see the finished project
i am a beginner and this was very easy to follow. i made 2 of them and they are the same color (purple)
This is one of the easiest to watch and understand videos. Thank you!
I hadn't crocheted since I was a little girl. This video was detailed and made the project fun. Im going tonl search for more tutorials!
I love this tutorial I’ve made two tops already and I’m a crochet beginner!! Thank you for this 😊
What the needle you use?
I love the way this looks in white!
Thank you so much! :D
I’m busty but not huge and this looks awful on me. I did it my best to my measurements and it’s both too big and small at the same time. I don’t know what I did. The work is clean. It’s far from my first project. Really clear and excellent video. Maybe just not for my dementions (36 D btw)
Yeah im worried this'll happen to me when I finish.. Im making it because these kind of tops are only really made for up to a D cup.. 32H here
STO PER PIANGERE, LE TUE CREAZIONI SONO STUPENDE 😭😭😭😭🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Brilliant tutorial, my top came out so good. Only thing I struggled with was doing the first round of slip stitches after joining the cups and starting the band as it was a bit hard to see where to instert the hook but otherwise great and clear tutorial. Thank you!
Ok so i am back 12 hours later (Ps I kinda just got into crocheting so im still really slow) and I honestly think I did an ok job. The cups are a little bit different in size (oops) but I think the rest is good. I tried doing this before and this was the first video I didn’t COMPLETELY fail at so thank you😅
So once finished can you see through it? I love crocheting and wanna make this so badly but add my own lil twist! Girl you are so talented, not to many people know the art of crochet anymore I'm the only person close to my age (18) that I know that knows how to crochet and its sad, so happy seeing others know the craft!
Me with my DD trying to get this to fit-
Hey I’m also a DD and I found that in the veryyy beginning doing a couple more single stitches (more than 12 I found 18 or 20 might make it big enough) can help make the cup its self bigger!
How about for a C? Anyone?
Leah Cook I did 15 stitches in the beginning. I then did 7 rows of single crochet on the cups and it was perfect
I feel you girl im an f 😭
Leah Cook me
Cups
Ch 12
SC in all stitch
Ch 1. Flip over
SC in all stitch
Insert into middle stitch. 3SC together.
SC to the end of row
Ch 1. Flip. SC. 3SC together in the middle stitch.
About 10 rows in total.
Just finished this top, only took me 6 hours😂
It looks really cute though and a few friends want me to make them one too now
I’m making this for a friend and. Damn I rlly have to just hope for the best.
Off topic but I love the different atla bending elements in the bottom right corner😂
this tutorial was so so so so great because this is literally the first project i made ever and it worked so wonderfully, it looks great and i am absolutely in love :) thank you so much
Love your tutorials ❤ you explain really well. Thankyou 😊
Made this for fun. Turned out so cute. Thank you.
I made it and it looks SO GOOD. Ty!! Also do you have any instruction for washing it?
amazing tutorial 🤩 i have never seen someone hold a crochet hook like you do. that’s a new technique to add to the books 📖
I really love how this top Looks but can you make like a written instruction? I'm a Beginner and a Video is Hard to follow for me:(
Thanks:)
It's not exactly 1:1 but to help you with the cups, here's a link! fromathread.blogspot.com/2015/01/how-to-crochet-simple-bralette-crop-top.html
Also if your a beginner this might be a little bit of a difficult one to start with. I’ve recently started crocheting and I’m still trying to just get the motions down. When I saw her do the very first stitches I couldn’t believe how fast she did it lol

Thats what I want to do, I want to make a maxi dress. How did you do it ?
@@kimberlymulivrana3617 i assume you would find a pattern for a skirt (there are so manyy pretty ones, especially in nice colours ) and attach the base of this to the top of the skirt
Trying to follow and mine has so many holes in it 😂 beginner over here 😅 might try something easier
try using a smaller hook than yarn you're using recommends (sorry for my english, is not my first language)
Same my first cup has holes in it but my second cup looks good
I’m a beginner too and I am making a mini backpack by making a single stitch rectangular swatch, super simple but I’m not following anything so idk measurements or anything

Thanks for your help btw I'm 13 so I'm making this bcuz when I wear a shirt it's see through that's why I make this for see through clothes ❤
IM SOOO EXCITED TO SO MANY OF YOUR TUTORIALS
Gracias por enseñar, quedó una prenda tejida muy bonita 😍
hey guys i hate to break the posetive chain that we have going on here. I love this tutorial and its so clear i just have one honest problem with it and its the fact that its hard to put on like i put on the project and everything kinda tugs and pulls on itself the corset and laced part or it is what i find the most frustrating the straps get stuck and its frustrating to put of even if it fitts perfectly.(i would really love some advice and feedback if you guys have some.)
thanks, one of the best tutorials for begginers, i really could follow because you showed the stiches.
This looks beautiful! You should try making shorts next! Love your work!!❤❤
witam, bardzo piekny top ale wyszla mi czapka papieza pozdrawiam🙏🏼🙂
i tried this and it turned out so cute!
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho, maravilhoso 👏👏👏❤️ Uma pena não ter em português.Mas que Deus lhe abençoe por compartilhar com todos
Thank u! I'm so in love with this, I made one, but I think that I will do 5 more 🥲
I wish I would have known how the straps connected on the back of the project at the beginning I made them too small because I didn’t know they were supposed to be connected multiple times😭 I have to frog it and make longer straps but I love your tutorials
Thank you it’s a very nice top. Easy and pretty. The only problem is that you have many videos with the same picture but with différents tutorials so it’s hard not to be lost if you have to find the good one. Maybe next time you can put différents colors for every tutorial. Thank you!
I only have a 3.5mm or 8mm crochet hook. Will it affect the end product if my top and which one would be best to use.
This is so beautifully done and well detailed. Love how the straps and cups are attached. Thanks for this video. Will be making a swimsuit based on this tutorial.
Just did this!! 😌 great tutorial but I decided to leave it short and make it into a bra because I’m impatient, looks beautiful on though
Thanks for the detailed simple illustration. I really really loved it.
I’m going to try and make this even tho i just learnt how 2 crochet yesterday. This is gonna be make or break situation
Thank you so much for making this video, it was easy to follow along with and it was everything I needed!! I just finished making it and it’s so cuteeeee.
Just as info: the numbers in the description are sooo off. You do NOT need almost a kilometer of yarn for this. One ball (150m) was perfect for this
Beautiful top. You crochet as if you were knitting, very interesting.
Hello from Brazil.
When you first crochet the bottoms of the cups, do you crochet in the slip stitches?
Excellent tutorial: I started making it right away. Thank you
my bra cups are curving and idk why its making the rest of the project flare out and i think its because its curved. please help
i just finished mine and i love it so much
Thank you, it was very easy to follow your explainations!❤
The talent 🥺
I love this top and tutorial, thanks. But I am noticing that when I do the band on the bottom, it sits out in the middle. Is this because the cups have curved do you think? any suggestions from anyone greatly appreciated.
I’m a beginner and I was able to pause when needed and you didn’t go to fast I just took it step by step with the pausing
Ive never crotcheted in my life, now, im a pro😂
Hi, I really love the design of the top, but is there a way I can make it less reveling at my chest? I'm very small chested and I feel like it shows too much
THANK YOU!!!!!! IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE THESE!!!!!
i tried really hard but i ended up taking it apart , only my second try !! i did something wrong but thank you for a great tutorial !!
so i have completed one of these and it came out really gorgeous, but i had to make some modifications because i have large boobs. i had to make the straps thicker and more durable, and the first time i did this i made a long chain and then double crocheted on my way back. but i ended up realizing that this wasn't sturdy at all, and the way that i connected from the cup to the strap, was very weak. i'm currently crocheting a second top, and i've learned that a more durable and stretchy alternative is the double chain! i did that on my way down, and then on my way back i single crocheted. this created a really strong and stretchy strap. my connection to the cup still wasn't ideal, but eventually i realized that if i didn't chain at the beginning of the double chain, and just worked right into my single crochet at the top of the cup, it kept a consistent and thick width. on my way back, upon connecting back into the same stitch on the cup, i made another single crochet, that way there were two single crochets in that stitch. this made the connection to the cup much much stronger. another modification i made was that i made the slip stitches at the bottom for the band tight enough that they looked neat, but loose enough that i could stitch into them. my reasoning for this was that instead of just making single crochets below the slip stitches, i single crocheted into each slip stitch. this ended up making the band's connection to the cups look much more seamless and neat.
krystal, if you're cool with it, i'd like to post a tutorial using yours as a base and then showing my modifications to help others with bigger breasts!
oh i also failed to mention that since i made my straps thicker, i accounted for that by making small.. idk, button holes, perhaps? for the straps. i did that by making three single crochets at the beginning of a row, then making three chains, and then single crocheting into the seventh stitch. then i went all the way down that row, and then started chaining 3, six stitches before the end of the row, and then single crocheting the final three stitches. and then the row on top of that, i just single crocheted three into that space, i didn't bother trying to fit them into the chains.
