Beetlejuice Corset - Crochet Tutorial for all sizes

Happy Halloween! Hope y’all enjoy this tutorial 🖤🫶

[@GoldAwardCrochetHelper]

This tutorial was great! I made it to wear for Beetlejuice the musical! It took me about 10-15 hours (I did have to restart after 2 hours and it was the second clothing thing I’ve ever made [I have made plushies but no clothes] and definitely more complicated than the first) it came out great!!

[@CandyCrafts929]

Wait why did you just tell my story? Just joking but litterly same I wore it to beetlejuice the musical and it’s my second peace of clothing 😂

[@alexanderramirez5072]

I'm also making this to wear it for *a community theater* Beetlejuice the musical (like actually as an ensamble member if they let me wear it) 😂

[@user-xm7ux1kd7n]

That’s awesome! Congrats! I’ve made a couple basic shawls, headbands, and winter hat… what’s the difficulty level of this? I’ve never made a clothing item and just stumbled across this awesome page! She makes beautiful things and idk where to start

[@SmokingQueens]

❤❤ so obsessed with this top!! You got us so inspired to make our first ever halter top plus so much more! Avid crocheters for 30 years yet to make any clothing options. Your channel is an eye opener for us and will help us expand for our own crochet catalog.

[@RavenTheValkyrie]

I just finished mine. Im so happy with it. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. The instructions were so easy to understand. I didnt get flustered and quit. I just kept going, trusting the process, and we got thru it together! Thank you so much. I cannot wait to show this bad boy off. Also side note Ive been on a weightloss journey and this is the first crop top ive worn since losing a lot of weight. Its the 1st time I felt confident enough to wear aomething kinda showy. So, thanks Sis.

[@kaitiakiheke9174]

Your instructions are clear & you explain in full which gives a great understanding of how to create the pattern as well as keep for knowledge ❤

PSA for people who ran out and got the glow yarn like I did: I started making mine using the same yarns shown in the video (except the green), and idk if Lion Brand is having quality control issues or what, but my white glow yarn is noticeably thinner than the black Sugar n Cream yarn! They both say weight 4 on the packaging, but it causes the white rows to look thinner than the black rows. It seems like using a tighter tension on the black and looser with the glow yarn helps, but I’m too paranoid about flashing someone to do that on the bra cup part lol…I’m compensating by changing tensions for the non-bra cup parts and doing symmetrical bra cup coloring so they end up the same size

[@loridemaine8412]

The Lion's Brand Glow in the Dark is more of the same thickness as the Lion Brand's 24/7 cotton yarn. The Sugar n Cream is definitely thicker and coarser. I am going to us the Lion Brand's Chenille DIY Glow for the neon green trim. I am super excited about it!

[@BJax]

Yeah I noticed a difference in how the weight felt while I was making the top in this video but I just kept rolling with it, it seemed to work fine for me!

[@TiffanyGarrison-p3j]

It’s because the glow in the dark yarn is polyester and the black is cotton. Hope this helps. Acrylic yarn sometimes is super sift and thinner too.

[@savannah4439]

Thank you for making this tutorial!! This is gonna be so cute for everyone who lives in places where it’s still hot around Halloween! 👻🎃🖤💚

[@rissarocketship]

Currently making a clowncore version of this since i don’t have the same colors. Thanks for this 🎉❤

[@mdmoore3]

ooohhhhh that sounds pretty!

[@Vexington]

oooh! this sounds awesome. can i ask what colors you decided to use instead?

[@vanessacristini4283]

You're an angel❤ just finished mine and its the first wereable i finish that i actually love😭 thank you so much!

[@spiraling.tenshi]

I always love the videos you make it’s rlly chilly cool and inspiring, sure I’m on the toilet rn but I’m inspired

[@SophiaSherman-qr1kw]

That’s so real

[@jacquelyncampbell2274]

I made a Beetlejuice colour inspired bag to use at a convention, my husband suggested I make a top to go with it. I then remembered I already had, using this tutorial! I frogged the green I had used before and used a neon green instead. I also used a purple for the ties. I will definitely be wearing this to go see the new movie! All you're tutorials are fantastic

[@mirandagonzalez3076]

I've literally been DYING for this tutorial as well! ^_^ so excited to follow along 🤘😎🤘 you have such great work n explain things very well!

[@meh_81]

just made this to go watch Beetlejuice II- probably my favourite piece so far! here are my notes: i'm a 2/3xs, but crochet quite tightly, so my bra cups ended up with about 18 rows (so 9 stripes, including the part in the centre). for the bit underneath, i did an extra stripe of each colour (i have a short torso, but, again, crochet tightly). with the scallops, mine looked quite small at first so instead of the 4hdc, i went with 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc for each. i extended the green part at the back, where the lace up is, as i didn't like how much back i had exposed. this is how i did mine: 3 row sc, 1dc, 1sc, 1dc and then the lace up loops, which instead of being one stitch apart, i had two stitches apart. the gap at the back is 2-3 inches wide. anyway, that's all, and thank you BJax for this lovely design! edit: this was also a really quick piece. i did most of it on a plane and it only took a few hours.

[@kaitiakiheke9174]

Coming back to thank you for inspiring my crochet, I was doing ok till I found your channel, now im doing so Much Better... Thanks for patterns that have made my family happy 💯❤️

[@lovepearllynn]

love this and it's giving nightmare before christmas vibes in the dark!!

[@kerrysimpson2901]

Thank you for the tutorial! I’ve been looking for so long for a video where it gives proper measurements especially for bigger ladies❤

[@InuandKagomeForever]

This has been a fantastic first(ish) crochet project for me so far, thank you for the tutorial! I'm really excited to finish it :) I haven't done any crochet since I was like 6 or 7 (and even then that was really basic little bracelets), but I'm a knitter which helps a little bit.

[@SunflowerAspenPlays]

In love this design. I might make it to wear for mine and my fiancee's anniversary, which is on Halloween 🥰 Edit: Starting on it now!! I'm so excited, I don't even have the green yet 😂

[@sabrinarae4835]

Totally obsessed with your stuff

[@gratefulgato2653]

This is my new favorite YT channel for crochet patterns, oh my lohd girrl

[@sunnysenny1120]

AHHHH THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! IM SO EXCITED!

[@aliciacarreon9352]

Im so excited to make this!!! I’m going to make it to watch the beetlejuice 2 movie coming out and this is perfect!!!!! Also I never thought to crochet over the tail, it’s going to save me so many headaches

[@x_ieatchesspieces_x]

I'm going to go see the Beetle Juice musical this upcoming month so this could be fun!

[@jacigaspard5353]

Love all your videos!!!!! My only recommendation is to put which row and how many stitches we should have for each row. Helps me so much. If not that’s okay I just try to write it done as I go. Thank you!!!!

[@triste1517]

I just found you through Instagram. I'm definitely going to try and make this top. Thanks for the video‼️🎃

[@strawberry-syrup]

omg i was planning on going as Beetlejuice for Halloween this is perfect!

[@shekinahjedgecombe3878]

🥰grateful.

[@StitchetyDoodah]

Dude I think we just became best friends! 💚💚💚 Thank you!

[@abbycrossing13]

Any recommendation for how to figure our adapting patterns to plus sizes?

[@tessaaddy6206]

I’m curious too :(

[@ysydoknes9371]

I did 17 rows in bra cup, and it is sooo small 😔

[@munstersnmakeup]

Me never attempting crocheting watching this: I can totally learn how to make one!

[@adrianaortega0129]

Can’t wait to make this!!!

[@bexn5817]

This is awesome!!! I really need to make this 👻

[@TinasArtPage]

Any chance we might be able to get a written version?

[@SelfMadeMaeve]

I made one of these a while back from screenshots of your videos because I’m really impatient 😂

[@jennybella3268]

So good thank you!❤️‍🔥

[@StolzimHerz1]

Thank you so so so much for this 🥹💖

[@lufixu]

yesss ive been waiting for this

[@KissHugChill]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS

[@lindseynorberg7313]

Obsessed!

[@mraymond73]

Do you have a size chart on any of your videos? Like when you say S, M, L XL do you have a set size, like 34 is a M for example?

[@shevelkindesigns]

If we decrease for the cup like you suggested for M and larger sizes, should we add those stitches back in for the bottom torso section? This way it doesn’t make the torso section smaller? Except for keeping the one decrease you added.

[@floofnoodlemama]

I don’t know what to do, I’m making an xl and it ended on white already. So do I still have to do an extra row of white? I don’t know what to do with my yarn 🥲

[@WhitleyCrum]

Ohh! Yay!!!

[@DaphnesCreativeTouch]

Thanks for the tutorial.

[@Miaton1212]

Could you do a story time of how you began to crochet and if you can make a living off of it? It would be very interesting.

[@-ZombieFruit-]

How long would you say this took you? I have been crocheting for a few years but my grandma taught me, and only taught me one stitch. I have only been doing small projects and I finally attempted something new, which was a top. I did not watch a tutorial and this really helped me realize what I was doing wrong! Thank you so much!

[@GoldAwardCrochetHelper]

Personally it took me 10-15 hours but it came out great!!

[@lianabrouillard9967]

Hello, do you know if the green yarn is the color "hot green" ? Can't wait to do this!

[@bobbyjoe9571]

can you please make more of these ones i LOVE them

[@iworshipTreCool12]

Hi I hope you still answer comments. I have a question about the torso extending part for size. XL. I did the chain 11 to start, but as I kept going, it looks too short for my side. Should I go back and make a longer chain, or should I go back and loosen my tension. Or does it sort itself out after the bordering and the lace up part in the back come to play. Thanks in advance. Also a written pattern I would pay for. lol

[@meh_81]

hi, i'm a size 2/3xs but crochet very tightly and extending that chain shouldn't affect things too much, as long as you're consistent! i stuck with the ch11 but extended the green part that goes on the end with a few rows of single and double crochets as i wasn't a fan of how much back i would have had exposed. i know this was a month ago, but i hope this helps!

[@SpookyBugsManor]

Yayyy!!!

[@Bruiser89]

I love your page. Do you have to use cotton yarn? Can you use worsted weight yarn to make these?

[@briannawest7620]

I started making this in a medium, same yarn and hook size and mine is significantly smaller. Am I crocheting too tight??? I need help 😅

[@iworshipTreCool12]

I had the same issue. It’s the tension 😅.

[@terra-jainorton8509]

What if you dont have that black can you use grey instead? Love the style very sexy

[@scotcharoo22]

Yay, thanks ❤

[@annapetr9871]

11 chains for all sizes? With all respect my waist is 20 cm longer. I have belly. I'm not really sure. Are there any person who have xl/xxl sizes and made this top? Share you experience please 🥺

[@kailamarie491]

I added 20 chains so in total 31 chains from the bra cup. Worked perfect for me and im a size 2xl

[@urmom_urmom]

im an xl/xxl and i did 21 chains so that way i had room for the lace up part in the back but wasn’t too exposed

[@Paraphim]

2:05 what if I don’t have the same amount of stitches? I’m making a large so I have fifteen stitches to start, but then on the other side, I have eleven. If I continue to crochet, I would start to go into the first row Also, instead of one end being flat and the other end being curved, both ends keep ending up curved? So I’m just making an oval? I’m not sure why that’s happening

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

Anyone else have to chain more than 11 for the sides/underarm area?

[@lanat9759]

Wow🎉🎉🎉❤

[@misfitspunx69]

For the torso length, is it 16 rows for all the sizes?

[@ewoking84]

I am wondering the same thing!

[@bea_bc]

For me (size M), I did 20 rows and it fits perfectly

[@ewoking84]

@@bea_bc thank you, that helps! 😊

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

​@@bea_bcDid you make 11 chains for the underarm area? I find that 11 chains just doesn't fit me well. It leaves almost my full back open.

[@bea_bc]

@@AnonymousAmyMakes I did 11 chains, but regret it immensely lmao, I would probably do more if I did this top again

[@EmilyRoseYarnworks]

Pleeeeeeeease make more tutorials!!!

[@lisapink2002]

What size hook did you use & is it dk/worsted weight yarn ?

[@InuandKagomeForever]

Only after getting to the border section on the left side when she said we should be crocheting with the front side up did it dawn on me that I'd been treating the wrong side as the "front" 😂 oops

[@Shadow-jl5em]

For myself. Don’t mind me 8:25

What yarn do you use?

[@missperfecta7126]

Podras poner subtitulos en español por favor? Es hermoso.

[@missmushroomcrochet]

When I washed mine the colors ran into each other and now the white is green😭 did anyone else have this problem?

[@x_ieatchesspieces_x]

Btw, is this womens or childrens sizes?

[@ewoking84]

Women size

[@Chim_reynolds]

I loved this so I tried to remake it two different times with different yarns and the boobs are in the armpit more… what can I do different ??:/
