    Great tutorial, I changed colors to make a striped pattern and it turned out great! Just a tip that might help someone, when I got to the peaks where you do 5 hdc, put a stitch marker in the 3rd hdc you make, that’s where you’ll increase the next round!

    Just finished mine, it turned out so nice, feel like seashell. I added extra line at the bottom to prevent it stretching out so much. Thanks for your tutorial!

      Type of yarn makes a difference too, especially when starting out. Some are too rough, some are too slippery, some like to split. Try a different yarn maybe.

    An improvement for wider breasted girls,follow pattern,when done the side straps are the neck straps and vice versa,(hen lining the 'bottom' in original pattern I recommend two lines) after flipping to the sides to top do 4 lines of 1/2 DC on the new bottom part,then a line of sc in every other stitch,and then another of 3 sc skip one,and then finish off with extending a side strap by 10 or more,turn work,then make sure you're on the bottom and do 1/2 DC all the way down to the other cup corner,continue up the other side strap and add the same amount of stitches as the other side,turn and 1/2 DC the strap extension,connect to original extension where you can.this holds larger breasts a bit more smoothly and gives a slight lift,it may look wonky in the process,trust the process

    This is a great video! I’ve followed along but found i have big holes in the turning stitches, with 5 half double crochet stitches in. Do you have any advice to avoid these?

      That does tend to happen… you can try to do these stitches a bit tighter, but there will be a smallish hole.

    Hey! Looks like a perfect tutorial - I just have one question (as I'm quite new in crocheting) - what kind of wool should i buy? How did you guys do?

      Thanks Ari! Welcome to my channel. Your best bet is to use a cotton or an acrylic yarn. I would not recommend wool.
