You have the clearest instructions. Thank you.

[@Southamericangirl42]

Your channel is so underrated. I think you're easily one of the better teachers on YT. To me you're a vast source of knowledge. You very aptly explain things related to your designs, stitches, yarn and hooks. I've watched your vids throughout my (short) crochet journey and was always left in awe. Recently I started on your Cuddle cardigan for my daughter. Thank you for being here!

Thanks for the pattern, if ibwas making this, i would make it so the sides would open , instead of having closed side seams, open up at about 6 inches so it would fit comfortably over my hips, hope that makes sense!

amazing tutorial!! i've made a cowl neckline before but I ended up sewing it in place as it would then only sometimes drape! i think its because the crochet was to lightweight so it didn't fall by its own. But it looked good anyhow. i wanna make a dress with a cowl neck - but a straight neckline and with spaghetti straps :)))

[@liliasawyer7145]

Thank you for another great tutorial. Do you have information or a tutorial on how to add sleeves to your sleeveless tops? I'd love to make more of your tops but want sleeves. Thank you 😊

[@YayForYarn]

Hi. I don't have a tutorial on that, but this top would be pretty easy to add sleeves to since it is worked sideways. After you sew the side seams and shoulder seams together, you could join your yarn at the underarm, crochet around the armhole, and join at the beginning of the round you just made. You could then continue to work in rounds around this opening, turning the work at the beginning of each round, to add length to the sleeve until it is long enough for your preference. On this top, I would suggest using back-loop-only half-double crochet to do the sleeves so that it will blend together nicely, but you could use a different stitch if you prefer. I hope this helps!

[@RameyRocks]

This is really cute! I love that Jean yarn. I might actually have to make this. I usually make cardigans and shawls but I love this. I've been racking my brain to try and figure out the best way to try something different on a cardigan. You know how they are all pretty much straight across on the bottom in the back? I would like to have one rounded in the back without making a round circular cardigan. I wonder if I made the back like the sole of a baby bootie, only round on one end, if that pattern would look weird. Or if I should just start increasing on the one end.

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Missi! If you are making a cardigan with vertical rows, then I think the easiest way to round the hem would be to increase stitches at the hem edge of the piece, and then gradually decrease for the other side of the rounded edge. I hope this helps!

[@annwithaplan9766]

What a cute top. Thank you for the pattern. : )

[@kjrussell8831]

💕 thank you!

[@Jin04115]

What a beautiful pattern and you explain everything so well. I would like to make a more cropped version so I would have to modify the sections correct?

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! You wouldn't need to modify the neck, just the half-double crochet parts below. Decide how many half-double crochets you want to remove from the length, and subtract that number from the half-double crochets in each row. The double crochets in each row on the front will be the same. I hope this helps!

[@Jin04115]

Hi Renee! Sorry about that. I just put a little note on the screen, apologizing for the audio quality in that section.

Lovely pattern i love the wool. May i ask where can i order from and what wool is it? Is it cotton blend. Beautiful sweater thank you for this tutorial. Much appreciated.

[@YayForYarn]

Hi. This exact yarn is discontinued, but they still make a version of it in a different color selection. You can find it here: shrsl.com/3p6bf It is acrylic, but you could use a #4 medium weight cotton blend as well. I hope this helps!

[@4x4kindagal]

You have some directions I'm guessing at about 36:10 and before that are written in WHITE letters on the WHITE background. I'm really new to crochet and I'm afraid to go forward with the pattern in case those instructions were important. Could you check please?

[@anarios3901]

Thank you, for the tutorial. Quick question... I´m interested on adding sleeves. Are those also be to be made vertical?

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! Yes, you can add sleeves to this sweater. I would suggest making the sleeves from this pattern: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJS1mWRmmLt-gdU After you make the front and back from this sweater, you may need to change your hook size to match the gauge from the sleeves on the other sweater. The gauge is slightly different between the two patterns. I hope this helps!

[@emmaponte6034]

Love this project and can't wait to make it! However.. I live in the UK and the Lion Brand Jeans yarn isn't available. Have you, or anyone, got any suggestions for a really good substitute ? Is anti piling the important factor? I want to make sure I have the right yarn for a successful make. Grateful for any advice

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Emma! Technically, you can use any yarn that is marked #4 Medium Weight. The main factor affecting the yarn you choose will likely be whether you want to wear it in warm weather or not. Here is my guide to choosing yarns for summer garments: yayforyarn.com/best-yarns-summer-garments/ I hope this helps!

[@emmaponte6034]

@@YayForYarn thanks so much. Definitely helped & have now ordered some gorgeous yarn I had my eye on! Love your videos 😊

[@brandycewonderland1497]

I love this. Do you think Red Heart Unforgettable Waves in Aurora would work for this top?

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! That is not a yarn I have used before, but going by the photos, it may or may not work. If you want to wear the top during the summer, that yarn may not be suitable. It looks rather fuzzy, and fuzzy yarns tend to trap body heat and not breathe well. If you want to wear it in the winter, this shouldn't be a problem. As for the thick-and-thin texture, that would depend on your personal preference. If some sections of the yarn are very thin, there might be small sections of the fabric that end up being a little see-through. If you like the look of the fabric crocheted in that yarn, and you want to wear it during the fall or winter, then it could work. However, for a spring and summer top, I would not recommend a yarn like that. I hope this helps!

[@Ms.Vivian-wd9ru]

When using the foundation half double crochet as the first row is row 2 the right side of the fabric ?

[@YayForYarn]

The fabric with the back-loop-only half-double crochet stitch is completely reversible, so there isn't really a right side or a wrong side to the fabric. I hope this helps!

[@angelsbear37]

There is writing on the screen but you can't see it because it is white on white. The only reason I know it was there was because you moved the tan fabric around and you could see some of it. One bit of writing is @20:32

Is this pattern crochet only? Would love to knit this.

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! At this time, I do not have a knitted version of this pattern. Thanks!

[@SherrisPlace]

What does ( You should have - (-, -, -, -, -, 94, 96, 96). Mean in the cowl neck pattern? I’m a newbie knitter and I don’t understand the dashes in the pattern Thank yoy

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! When a dash “-” is given instead of a number, it is a placeholder. This is shown when a row does not apply to all sizes. Because some sizes do not work that row, the dash “-” is shown for those sizes instead of a number. So when the pattern says to "stop here" for certain sizes and skip to another section of the instructions, then the section of instructions that does not apply to those sizes gives dashes instead of numbers for those sizes. Does that make sense? I hope this helps!

[@elianecharpentier6667]

I'm trying to find where the description box ix so that I can do an large to xtra large pattern and can't find it

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Eliane! If you look just below the title of the video under the video player, there should be a bit of text that says, "See More". If you click "See More", it should open up the description box. Clicking the first link in the description box will take you to where you can view the free version of the written pattern with instructions for all 9 sizes. I hope this helps!

[@jassconrad]

I'm doing the 2nd 1/2 of the front. For 2X. The instructions drop 4 rows of the DC from a 34 count (skips 28 count) & says to DC 22?? I'm making it keeping all steps intact on left & right side . i will let you know how it finishes.

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! Actually, section 3 for the 2x does not skip the rows with 28 double crochet. The first set of instructions for the 2x in section 3 says to repeat rows 15 and 16 two more times, and those are the rows with 28 dc. I hope this helps!

Hi Teresa. If you want the neck to drape more, you'll likely need to alter the pattern. You might try working only the double crochets in the pattern with a larger hook, which would add drape to the cowl. You'll also want to block the finished piece well for maximum drape. I hope this helps!

[@YayForYarn]

Hi. Yes, you could add sleeves if you like. I would recommend using the instructions for these sleeves kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJS1mWRmmLt-gdU If you were to do that, you would need to match gauge for the Cowl Neck Tee pattern on the front and back, and match the gauge for the sleeve pattern separately. So you would likely need to use a different hook size on the sleeves to match the gauge given in that pattern, but it could be done. I hope this helps!

Hi Marion. if you want to add sleeves, you may be able to use the sleeve pattern from my Comfy Cozy Cardigan: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJS1mWRmmLt-gdU It uses the same yarn weight as the Cowl-Neck Tee. However, be sure you use a hook size that will help you match the gauge for the Cowl-Neck Tee for the pieces from that pattern, and use a hook size that will help you match the gauge for the Comfy Cozy Cardigan for the sleeves. I hope this helps!
