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 ✨🥰
Samee
A word of advice for everyone doing this pattern, dont be like me. make sure your head fits in the hole before you finish the 1st sleeve. Not my finest moment :)
so should i jus add more chains ?
Ofc@@zzarriahr
@@zhoroussad1607 i ended up chaining like, 30 more chains from my original calculations... it definitely worked out! thanks so much
this is my first finished crochet that i’m actually gonna wear! it took me 2 days to finish and i’m so proud of it 🥰 thank u so much for sharing the tutorial! ❤
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
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
Can you please suggest a CZcams tutorial on this?
Im sorry I can't understand through text I'm a beginner😭😭😭
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.
@@ashleyxoxo.q this is so smart tysm
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
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched on how to crochet something. Thank you.
just finished mine and im so excited to wear it. this was such an easy tutorial to follow, i didnt even have to slow the video speed down like i usually do.
Great job 👏 you did great have the best day wear it broad
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)!
Same here! Thank you
I made this and I am in love with it, thank you for the tutorial! (:
YESSS IVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS
amazing tutorial, I appreciate this channel so much!!!!
This video was so easy to follow and I made my own which I love! Thanks for the straight forward tutorial 🤙🏼
I used this to make a long oversized top and it turned out SO CUTE thank you 🩷🩷🩷
“I measured out 18 inches” I think we might be built a little differently 😭
thank you for this!!
side note; your nails are so pretty!
Tysm!!
Thank youuu, this def will be my next project🤍
Straight to it I love that
this is such an easy project! thank you so much! i love my bolero! very very beginner friendly :)
Great pattern, i did 85 for a 38 DD in case this helps anyone
Omg. Life saver. Thank you!
do you know how many yards you used? or the type of yarn and how many skeins?
Hi, what does a half bust mean? I'm a beginner (started a few days ago lol) and 85 + 9 or 85 including 9? I'm sorry if its confusing 😭🤍
@@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
Thankyou You're tutorial was in more detail than others which helped
such a good tutorial! it was so easy to follow, just started crocheting about 4 days ago and this was a great project for beginners
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.
Purrr thanks so much looks great 🙏🏽😆🤞🏽
I loved this. It was the only tutorial that actually made sense to me❤🎉😊
thankss def will make this and wear in the summer !!
Thank you so much, this tutorial is so easy❤ i've done this top before but the other tutorials had extra steps that werent necesary at all, this video is just 👌
Very helpful and I got alot of compliments ❤👏
Thank you so much it’s so cute!
My 20 year olds been asking me for ages to make her this, cheers for the tutorial
Best tutorial out there 🙌
This is literally the easiest tutorial I’ve ever seen omg 😭😭❤️
Im making this rnnnnn love you girll
Bro I was everywhere looking for one that was easy to do and understand and than I found this so helpful
the easiest shrug tutorial i’ve seen so far, thank you sm
Thank you for thiss def making this soon
bro when i tell u ive tried this before and it failed so bad but after ur tutorial i acc got it right n its perfect 😭😭 tysm !!❤
hey could you do a tutorial for the everyday crochet tote on your etsy? it’s soooo cute!
Posted!
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
really easy tut thanks💜💜
Im a litle confused on attaching the two panels are you attaching it by each stitch or each gap?
Thankyu for this tutorial, i finally learned how to crochet a shru
I'm a new subscriber. The easiest one yet I have found on CZcams!!❤
Does the length of the beginning alter the sleeve location ? I’d like mine to be more like a crop top.
Yesss making this in pink rnnnn
This video helped me sm but when I started crocheting the sleeves, they started getting big and wide and idk how to stop it from it getting bigger😭
I like that you are working on the gap and not in the top of the stitch. I think I can get done much faster using your method.
can i use the yarnart jeans crazy yarn or is it too stiff?
may be a dumb question but for the sleeves did you double crochet into each hole or did you skip the ones that are not four chain spaces wide like the ones that are more inward. i hope this makes sense😓
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.
You have good energy
hii your sleeves kinda got wider towards the bottom, did you increase at the bottom to make it wider? if so at which round did you start increasing
wait what weight of yarn did you use? can you use diffeeent weights and just change the hook bc its based on measurements?
im making my first wearable using this pattern!! i usually don't like following videos but you've made this sooooo easy. Quick question.. i wanted to do a few increases. just to widen the arms a bit and add a bell cuff. if I'm only trying to add a few inches should I do like two increase stitches in the same round or one inc stitch for each row till at the desired width?
What I wanna know too
Can someone explain how you join the two sides of the middle panel bc mine is too tight and idk if i can add chains or something like that
i’m a bit confused by the slip stitch/arm part 😭 so you folded the work in half, and then slip stitched into the holes? or did you slip stitch inside every chain until you got your arm size?
I’m pretty sure into the chains
omg i have the exact same confusion
i’m just reading through the comments to try to figure out that part😭
she slip stitched into the middle chain in the hole 😭😭 took me so long to figure outt
I’m lost on this too. Seems like my arms are getting wider somehow
if you have extra fabric and you have to crochet more for the neck how does the folding end up even?
In general when measuring out your length to fit ur body well, is the chain stretched out or not xx
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)
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?
I have the same issue. My head doesn’t fit at all
Does it have to be divisible by three?
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
I don't really think so 🥹
Thank you so much😁
Can I make it longer? Like a sweater or something..?
Is medium sized yarn too big? I started one and it’s like thick/bulky if that makes sense lol. I used a 5.5mm hook
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
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 had the same issue, and I frogged the whole thing. Then I realized that the way she measures her chest is really confusing. I’m stressed and sad
Can i make this with a 4ply milk cotton yarn??
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
thank you so muchh! i'm crocheting me and my bestie a bolero lol. is it ok if it sell them on my etsy?
So I accidentally got size 3 yarn🙃 what adjustments do I need to make?
so for the neck hole, my cauculations don't fit. could I just add more chains?
So pretty❤
Is it suppose to shrink? The measurement i took is 18 inch so I did 70 chains but now I'm almost done with the back panel and the it's gone down to 15 inch, have i done something wrong?
I’m having a hard time with the slip-stitch for the sleeve. Anyway you can so in more detail how you do it
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.
Is it ok if I use a 4mm hook? Is there a big difference?
how do i slip stitch the panels tog? Are you just doing the back half or the sides too? got a little confused around 7:40 :)
i’m stuck on this part too
same i’m stuckkkk😭
when I make the arms, it keeps getting wider and wider and i don’t know why :( I have only put one double crochet in each hole i’m confused
heyyy girl! do you suggest using cotton or acrylic yarn for this project?
Always use cotton or wool for clothing, blankets, bags etc, it’s better for you and the environment !
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!
@@KamrynCain ok i will try again, thank u :)
Hi, the same thing is happening to me and I‘ve startet over multiple times. How did you solve the problem? Can anyone help me?
@@oliviabott492 hi! I only skip some holes at the very first row, that was the only way that it worked for me :)
@@sofiarom7231 ok, thank you very much for your reply!
Pls about the bust size…is it the upper bust or the normal bust size? Pls I need your reply 🙏🏽
hey im stuck at the sleeves part
I made my body a bit too long is there any way to fix it?
hey! i have a question. if i dont have a 4.25mm hook, should i i use 4.0mm or 4.5mm? thank uu
I saw her comment on another post about this. The commenter was asking if they should use a 4.0mm hook or 5.0mm hook. She said either or is fine
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.
@@paranoidwaffles880how do u do that by skipping some gaps?
@@paranoidwaffles880how do you do that?
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
I have broader shoulders too! I'm gonna try make this and see how it goes
From what I can tell I will not be able to fit my head through that hole. And I did all the measurements correctly. So I'm so confused 😫
ME TOO
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
The body part of your top is prob too small for your arm size, I recommend making the body a little longer and seeing how that works out!
Hi, big problem for me, so I chained at first 50+9 then I had 13 dc. When I had to count, I was blocked. I did 4 so 4+1 and then I went lost... Can someone helps ? Plz
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?
Yeah I’m having the same issue! Can’t figure it out 😭
same ahah
Maybe it should be a number that you can divide by 3 (sorry for my english)
I ran out of yarn while finishing the second sleeve of mine. How do I go about switching to another yarn in the middle of the mesh stitches?
I would say a Russian join lots of tutorials
About where should the beginning panel stop on your shoulders? If that makes sense.. like the width
One end of your shoulder to the other!
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?
I am at the shoulder part but I measured if I did 4 on each side I would only have 6 in the middle is that too small. I have a 32 bust
i would like to know how to make the end of my bolero arm bigger....like just the end
is using one cake of yarn enough?
Um what is a 42c plz plz i need help
Hi, wondering whats a bust size?
Does anyone know why my second sleeve just isn’t working? I’m not accidentally increasing and I’ve unraveled and re-crocheted the second arm four times now and every single time it’s not the same as the other arm, it’s extremely wide in comparison. This is really demotivating.
I’m on the first arm and this is happening too! I tried crocheting tightly but it’s not helping… just unraveled it and hopefully decreasing will help… damn my comment isn’t helpful but it’s interesting that we have the same issue. I’m so glad your first sleeve turned out nice! When you slip stitched the panels together did you do the same amount of gaps on each side? Maybe try decreasing like i will 😅 ill let you know how it goes, this really sucks
guys make sure you chain a lil more than just shoulder to shoulder. Bc for me It was too small and when I did the first sleeve it was literally choking my armpit and i wouldn't even be able to wear the second sleeve without dying 💀
can someone please explain the part where she tries to connect the two panels together? it seems like she cut the clip so i’m not really sure what she’s doing after that😭
I'm stuck in that part tooooo
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
