Oh man I almost gave up when we started to calculate the neck hole measurements but you made it so easy I’m glad I stuck through this I’m working on the second sleeve right now and I’m so excited ✨🥰
I'm a suuuuper beginner at crochet (I'm a knitter lol) and this was so easy for me to follow. Thank you!! I'm almost done after 2 days (could've gotten it done in 1, it's such a quick work up)!
For anyone frustrated by the 2 stitches left over at the end after chaining 75 +9, read on! I did 85 + 9 (bust size 17-ish inches but I'm using stretchy acrylic yarn), but if you want to know for your particular size, here's what to did: Get a pen and paper. Use dots to symbolise chains and Vs to symbolise the double crochets. Follow the pattern she described: V . . . V etc. Until you have the number of stitches that will fit your bust. Make sure to end on a V. After that, add 9 stitches (these 9 stitches symbolise the *3 chains* in between the double crochets, the fourth stitch (*1 stitch*) where the double crochet is made, the double crochet itself which is *2 chains long*, and the *chain of 3* at the top of the double crochets (in total the chains in the asterisks = 9). After chaining 9, double crochet into the 10th stitch and continue pattern as normal (skip 3, double crochet into the fourth stitch). There won't be any stitches left over when you reach the end! Hopefully she'll see this and pin! 🤍 Happy crocheting! Jesus loves youu
there are no tutorials on this bc nobody figured this out apparently, but all i can say is just undo the slip knot like youre untangling a normal knot.
@@Uuuh...hein... Anna Greene made this exact tutorial originally but expains everything like 10x more thoroughly! definitely go watch hers. shes wearing blue bolero in the thumbnail
today is my first day ever crocheing in my life (i've never knitted either) and i have been so confused but this is helping me so much thank you i am finally getting the hang of it
hey! i know you commented this a month ago but i just started crocheting too and im struggling a lot with the slip stitch part where you connect some squares so you can make the sleeves... i think i made the chain sixes that u have to connect too tight and the hook can't go through them, but maybe i just cant figure out the slip stitch? id really appreciate it if you (or anyone reading this) have any advice or tutorial videos? thank u
@@helenxar9405i think you need work on your tension. if you tension is too tight its hard to get stiches into your loops. so you should look up tutorials on that.
@@Khushi-gj7zli’m not too sure what half a bust means but the +9 (or any other number) always means to add 9 more chains. so you’ll have whatever length you need and then add 9 more chains
@@Khushi-gj7zl half a bust means half your chest size, so eg if your bust is 36 inches then do half of 36 = 18 in and it's 85 PLUS 9, so chain whatever your chest size is (here 89) and then chain 9 more. if you chain 85, you should chain 9 more and your total will be 94
No, you’re not dumb. It’s just that you are probably a beginner, so it must be a bit to difficult for you. Maybe a more detailed tutorial might work for you!❤
the whole pattern is great but i went according to my bust measurements and everything but my neck hole came out too small. I cant fit my head through 😭 what should i do?
Is there any way to loosen the neck hole once you're done with the entire thing? I made mine slightly smaller and it's a bit uncomfortable to put on lol
super confused getting to the step of connecting the front panel to the back before you make the sleeves. are we slip stitching toward the neck hole or away from it to secure it around arm
An advice from me is to check the size of the chain before starting thw rows , mine is really big , but for me i dont think its a problem because i love baggy things , but still ita kinda hard to make the sleeves now because the top part is a bit big
I'm about to literally cry I've been doing it but starting from 8:29 i don't understand a single thing the color of your yarn won't show anything and i don't understand where my head and shoulders gaps should be :((
i know i’m 3 weeks late but look up anna greene’s video on how to make a bolero. i feel like she explains that part better because i was seriously confused
Hi! I’m doing this project but in the sleeves is getting bigger and bigger everything time and i want them like your sleeves. I have to do decreases or do you have any tip? Side note: I love your channel, your tutorials are really helpful
You might be accidentally Increasing, if it’s not that much I’d say start over but if it’s a lot you can decrease it might look a little odd though. My tip is to just pay close attention to where you put your stitches cause it can be so easy to accidentally increase!
Also, how does it fit around your neck? is 39 chains enough to fit over the head nicely? i feel like if i chain the length i feel i need i will mess up the pattern.
I personally like to have it stretched a little bit, bc if you dont its gonna fit too lose but if you stretch it out too far you risk making it too small by accident, it also helps to measure it against ur body again after working a few rows, bc then it doesnt stretch as much as just the chain (i hope any of that made sense lmao)
When you start doing the sleeves, are you doing a stitch in every box (like every box at the end of the row) or every other box (i.e. every other row)? The pattern’s been really easy to follow, I’m making one of these for my sister and even though I had to restart cause I made it too small it didn’t take me long to get back up to where I was.
i have just discovered your videos and love them! i've tried making this top several times but it was always too small/tight under the armpits, do you know why? thank youu
i’m only on the first row of hdc skipping stitches with the same count, restarted a ton of times and still cannot end up at the exact end of the row. am i doing something wrong or should i just skip the extra 2 stitches and end on the last one?
I’m using thicker yarn for mine, and I’m not sure how to calculate the chain u made to finish the neck hole. Can u explain your reasoning for the math? Why add one gap on then right side? And why multiply the gaps in the middle by 4 and add 3?
Idk why but i think i am the only one who doesn't understand the math neck part in which she multiplied 9×4+3 so the question is where did the 4 and 3 come from??? Please tell me i am really confused
Hi Kamryn, when you say do an increase in random little spots, do you mean “increase in every 4th chain etc” or actually just random and when you feel like? I hope I made sense 😭
A piece of advice: when making a crochet tutorial, in the thumbnail and the finished product showcase what YOU have made. Now I noticed you really emphasize on the bolero photo you found on the internet, and I have to be honest, your bolero looks very different from the one you imply on making :)
The thumbnail is her photo, she made the one in her thumbnail, the only difference between the thumbnail and the one she made is that she used different yarns, which is very common amoung crochet tutorials to she the one they already have made then make it in a different color for the tutorial.
Will my work change if I only followed my neck measurement? i am using a little bit thick yarn and measuring my bust size turned out 60 plus chains andd I have 4 squares for my shoulder partt and I cant do 20 chains for my neck bc its too short for me omg idk what to do please help me
For some reason after I chain 39 for the neck hole my pattern increases from 15 squares across to 20?? It doesn’t seem right but I have no clue what I’m doing wrong, I’m following the video step by step!! Someone helppppp😫
Help please. I’m having trouble matching neck holes. It’s let’s say 23 hole at the top the 22 at the bottom, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I calculated the chains properly, mine is 44+3.
Hi I'm sorry i was just confused at the sleve part and how exactly it ended up not being closed. 10:44 I am also a little bit confused about the sleves like how you made them so big at the end
If you want the end of the sleves bigger , you can start increasing on your Last 3 or 4 rows. You can like do 3 normal stitch as you do and 2 in the same gap to increase (not a pro so this is Just an advice
hey im doing this but i have broader shoulders so how many gaps should i make because my last attempts didn’t fit me. i chained more at the start and did more layers so idk how to let my shoulders fit
To slip stitch you have to go through one stitch, pull through the yarn, through both loops on your hook and then go through the next stitch, and do the same
Either one works, it won’t change the outcome by much I just like using a smaller hook bc it’s more comfortable to me but 5mm and 4mm should both be fine it’s up to you!
Hi ! Great tutorial thank you ! I made mine but it ended up a little tight around the armpits, is it possible for me to loosen them up once it is over ? Should I pop a stitch ? Thank you

Honestly I was js too lazy and decided to undo the slip knot but realized a chain is basically a slip knot and undid two of those. Hope that helped

I love making these! Love your nails in this video and man, do I wish HL hadn't discontinued that particular yarn! It was so pretty.
This is literally the easiest tutorial I’ve ever seen omg 😭😭❤️
This video was so easy to follow and I made my own which I love! Thanks for the straight forward tutorial 🤙🏼
I must be dumb cause it's far from clear to me...
Nah, just means you need a more detailed tutorial, the more you do the tutorials the less instructions you’ll need.
LMAOO ur so real
I think what is confusing is when she says half of your bust size. You can chain across your chest to get your size from one end to the other.
No, you’re not dumb. It’s just that you are probably a beginner, so it must be a bit to difficult for you. Maybe a more detailed tutorial might work for you!❤
No she just is not doing the best job explaining it no offence to her but me crocheting 2 years still don’t get it

super confused getting to the step of connecting the front panel to the back before you make the sleeves. are we slip stitching toward the neck hole or away from it to secure it around arm
Towards, because the arm hole should be at the top of the bolero. Slips stitching the panels together starts at the bottom and moves up

Making this top rn . What did you do for the increases to make it look flared? Like how many rows did you increase for and how far into your sleeve ?
water spraying and stretching
I’m going to increase the last 3-5 rows once I reach my wrist. 1-2 per row depending on how it looks.

same ahah
Maybe it should be a number that you can divide by 3 (sorry for my english)
Im a litle confused on attaching the two panels are you attaching it by each stitch or each gap?
