Easy Beginner Summer Crochet Top

[@emilystubbs5650]

THANK YOU SO SOOOO MUCH! I had previously given up on ever being able to knit because I've been crocheting since I was a kid, and I just felt like it was going to take WAY to loog to get to the point where I could do it relatively quickly or have it not look like a 2yr old did it. But this really sucked because I love how knitting look. I like it much better than crochet. (I'm always modifying or making up my own stitches to resemble knitting. Anyway I had no idea there was another way to knit!!!!! This looks like it will be a lot more natural for a chrocheter to learn. I think if I just practice I might be able to get it. Thank you so very much for this video!

My next top project. I made one ( different style) with bamboo yarn. It's so soft and I look forward to wearing it this summer

[@AdriennePerez-t7p]

I just finished making this summer top. Thanks to your video instructions, it came out pretty good. It's a little small, but I think I can stretch it out enough for a better fit. I love it

Beautiful u made my day with summer tops thanks 🙏🏿 love ❤️ it blessings

[@anotherperson655]

I think my problem is that I love everything you make, but don’t have the time to make it all. (That doesn’t mean I’m not already yarn shopping for this project- hehehehe) Seriously though, thank you for making such beautiful designs and putting in the time to make such easy to follow tutorials!

This is so lovely. I might dread using a small yarn with the moss stitch, but since I have it in my stash and spring is a few months away... by spring I should have a new summer top! Thank you.

I love this top. Instead of doing a gauge swatch, I measured my bust at 36", so could I just chain both panels at 18"s each? Or 19"s to be on safe side? Like I can hold it up to me after a few rows to see where the sides would meet for seaming? And if it is stretchy yarn, I would just stick with the 18"s wide or maybe even 17"s wide for each panel . Does that make sense?

[@becjane1281]

I don't do gauge swatches...figured I didn't need to..I was wrong and just did chains like you have said and ended up with panels that are too large or small. I always forget about stretching etc. I have 4 wips that I have to frog. You'd think I would have learnt.

[@tamaravalentini1481]

Magnifico ❤❤❤

[@Wiekra]

Thanks for this beautiful pattern. I’m just frustrated because of the edges that i never get that beautiful straight like yours. Some tricks?😊

[@ktcharb66]

I ❤ this!

[@michellepaterson3657]

I love this sweater .can you tell me how many stitches i need to start with for a large plz ty

[@raniaioakeimidou2463]

Thank you Briana for such a nice top! I have a question: Can we add a short sleeve to it??

[@BrianaK]

If you wanted to work around the sleeve opening I believe you could

[@setayeahattarzade8581]

اreally appreciate ❤

[@debracowan2346]

Would you change anything in the pattern if you start with a ribbing?

[@qayfa]

The side before seaming, do we do single crothet all over the side of just leave it as it is?

[@ireneadam9495]

Hi how many balls of each colour do I need for small thanks

[@nancymcgilvary3304]

Hi, pretty top but I can’t figure out how many yards I need for a large/xlarge top

[@sanar369]

❤❤❤

[@charlinelatour7233]

hi love this pattern but i find the number of chains for the L & Xl please help me

[@andreabush1742]

Briana, I bought the pattern but when I do the recommended number of chains44 for a large, the chain fits around me like a blanket. I have a 44" full bust and a 44" inch hip. What number of chains should I do for a 3 weight yarn 4mm hook? My width is 22" half body circumference and the chain is just too wide. Please advise. Thanks, I can't find where to email you. I have also purchased 4 of your classes.

[@BrianaK]

First I would start by doing a gauge swatch, sometimes the chain row isn't always the best indicator of how wide something might be. I have more information on how to do a gauge swatch and what to do if your swatch doesn't match the gauge in the pattern: brianakdesigns.com/what-is-crochet-gauge-and-how-to-fix-it/

[@kathiejesionowski3729]

Why do you start with a chain and not a Foundation stitch? Wouldn’t the chain make the bottom border restricting?

[@crypticcurls]

Beautiful but really not for a beginner! Needs to be much slower and close ups of the individual stitches, turns etc. I'll get there eventually but it's a case of two steps forward one step back!

[@lindaallen4288]

@crypticcurls just a suggestion in case you didn't know, you can slow down the video by hitting the cog up on the right hand side and select playback speed. I hope this helps
