Thank you for adding the steps for larger chests! I'm a C/D cup and it's not always easy knowing what alterations need to be made 💚

[@itserinb]

Yes of course!! Honestly I’m like a 32C but I stretch into my top perfectly without increases. But def add some extra stitches for a larger bust than mine! ❣️

[@celesteb5908]

I am a beginner in crochet and your tutorial was the first one I could follow without missing anything. Thank you for so much clarity!!! This time it turned out small (my fault for not measuring correctly) but it looks like a corset and I love the shape. I will look for more of your tutorials.Thank youu!!

[@itserinb]

Aww thank you so much!! 💖

[@lainytriesgaming2329]

I love the crochet community, these comments and everyone here is so sweet 🥺

[@sm0ll]

omg thank you. i’ve been wanting to make a bralette that was more like a tank top. but the only tut i can find were with making cups and all that jazz. i’ll def use ur tutorial thanxx

[@itserinb]

hope I get to see your creation soon! 💖

[@bronwynsturges]

Your instructions are so clear and detailed. Can never go wrong with your tutorials! Thank you❤️

[@itserinb]

This is the best thank you!!

[@hannahkaye.mp4]

oh my glob you're so gorgeous thank you for this design and for existing on this planet

[@hannamiller8749]

Came out super cute!

[@itserinb]

Thank you!! 🫶

[@motionless_horizon]

I found this and thought it would look good with the yarn I’m using, and was surprised to see that it’s the same yarn you’re using, just different colors!! It turned out so good, thank you!

[@itserinb]

Hahaha great minds 😉😉

[@brigettebell5814]

I love your channel so much. I am older and would like to see some badass shawl/scarf tutorials. I used to wear all your fun stuff but not anymore. I wish I was your age again. Thanks Sista!

[@itserinb]

I love the look of shawls!! ❣️

[@juliebean2806]

I love your fancy little extra movement with your hook on each stitch

[@KnitsByNayla]

Was waiting for this to drop since you asked about the thumbnail on IG! I love a crop top bc I love a project I can finish quickly and have that satisfaction. And I actually just found that yarn after I watched your hunt for cotton yard video. It was so soft and comfy to work with. Might have to go back for more to make this project.

[@itserinb]

Yea I’m going to make a bunch more too!! 💓💓

[@zoeyyount4660]

I’m so excited to make this great tutorial! I love that you are very detailed when explaining and don’t just do one and skip ahead to the finish:)

[@itserinb]

Sometimes I talk too much but I like to explain why I’m doing something that way people can figure out if they want to do the same thing!! 🥰❣️

[@amyking2597]

So pretty! I can’t wait to make me one. I will have to make a large. Lol You look beautiful in your top. Thank you for sharing. ❤🧶

[@itserinb]

You’re so kind, thank you!! ❣️

[@allie_ella]

Yay! I have a few cotton cakes I didn’t know what to make with. Love your vids. Thank you!

I’m so happy to hear that!! 💖

I'm sick right and really tired so easy to follow tutorial like this is great :) Almost halfway done (I'm slow crocheter especially when sick) and super excited to get the finished product 😌

[@tayessamalaquin7747]

Love watching your videos! I'm an avid knitter but definitely gonna try my hand at crochet now! would be interested in a ski mask tutorial since you love balaclavas so much I thought that wouldn't be to far fetched x

[@RosyCheeksBoutiq]

Omg your haircut is SO CUTE!!!😍😍 not sure how recent it is, but last video I watched it was still long lol thanks for the tutorial!!

Thank you!! I cut it back in April 🥰

Yes run it!! ❣️

[@shettikkawoods]

Awesome thank you 🌻

[@itserinb]

Thank youuuu!

[@nata1ieangg]

love this! just started on the ribbing and already cant wait to finish this project. would it be possible to turn this into more of a tank top style just by adding more rows to the body portion (i.e. more single crochet rows)? or would that turn out wonky? i love the style of this but am not totally comfortable with it being a bralette style on my body.

[@itserinb]

Yes you can definitely just extend the top with more rows of sc! 💖

[@danicamonroe]

My cotton cakes are all labelled as a 4/worsted! I’ve always thought they’re pretty light for a #4 but that’s strange yours is 3!

[@itserinb]

Whaaaat yours are a 4? Hmm maybe they “reformulated” the newer cakes cause mine says #3!! ❣️

[@katrianakoppe8110]

After you connect the band and you add the single crochets, how do you determine where to put the singles? Front or back loop only or both loops?

[@julianaschimmel7914]

How did you get the stripes to line up perfectly without the color changing midway though a row? Love this top by the way, I can't wait to make it ❤️

[@itserinb]

It just happened while I worked the pattern!!

[@julianaschimmel7914]

[@plantheadsteph7117]

Hi Erin, thanks for the pattern to this beautiful top! Was one yarn ball enough for you? My store sells them at 100g, but I’m wondering if yours was 200g as it looks bigger despite being the same brand and fabric. Thank you for your content 🥰

[@itserinb]

I think they only sell it in the 100g cake so one was enough for me!

[@lizyorulmaz]

Such a cute top! What color is the yarn by Caron?

[@audriie12]

Umm what does multiple of 4 mean

[@kanakeitto6250]

I think it means you should have a number of stitches that you can divide by four. For example numbers like 100, 96, 92, 88, and 84 can be divided by four so the amount of single crochet you have should be a number like that :) I hope you understand what I mean English is not my mother language :D

[@murielpatino789]

Does it hurt the nips to wear?? I’ve never made a crochet top before but I imagine it gets tender? Do you add something underneath? I want to make this it’s beautiful 🥰

[@lana_amps]

hi!! i’m planning on making a swimsuit inspired by lucy gray bairds from the hunger games, and i was using this as an inspo, but her top doesn’t have the extra ribbing on the bottom as yours does. would it work if i just made a chain in place of the ribbing and worked from that?

[@NotKt7]

@itserinb ​its so cute& I can’t wait to make it. i was also wondering, how do you turn it into a backless top?

[@itserinb]

Same steps, I just don’t connect the chain in the round, work a flat panel ❣️

[@renee.nicoleee1883]

@@itserinb Ah so sorry, I’m having such a hard time visualizing how it’d come together ! how would we connect the straps? Or have the ribbed portion still wrap around our bodies so it’s not just an open flap lol Thank you so much 💓

[@charoootte8470]

girly do u have this in knit i’ve seen this in the previous video but no pattern :( really wanna pick up knitting hehe

[@morbidlyxobsessed]

Just a comment for the algorithm ❤️

[@itserinb]

The freaking best. Thank you for your thoughtfulness 🥲🥲❣️❣️

[@liv9156]

This is not for larger sizes, anyone over a D cup, don’t even bother tbh… it’s a beautiful design but it’s meant for smol knockers. Also I’ve tried both methods, doing this design as she shows it but to my measurements, AND adding increases for the larger, both don’t work for larger ESPECIALLY adding increases.. makes it literally too big to fit and I’m a DDDD cup. Just don’t waste your time 😅

[@HannahKirtland]

Do the cotton cakes come in different weights? They are at my craft store but I can only find them in medium weight :/

[@itserinb]

No they come listed as a #4 but I classify them as a DK #3 💖

[@lynge2581]

8:55 - 8:59 what do you mean by multiples of 4?❤

[@itserinb]

4 8 12 16 20, any # that can be divisible by 4

[@saumyasingh6419]

Hey. But how do I ensure I have added multiples of 4?

[@katemim]

What’s with the multiple of 4 I’m not understanding:(

[@itserinb]

We need the stitches to be divisible by 4. First divide by 2 to separate front from back panel, then divide by 2 again for right cup and left cup 💖

[@susanafreire4444]

If I'm using dk worsted weight (3) instead of medium worsted weight 4, how many chains should I start off with for the height of the ribbing? I'm between 14 or 15 but not sure how tall it should actually be :/

[@itserinb]

The height of the ribbing is totally up to you! If you’re between 14/15 stitches it won’t make a big difference ❣️

[@susanafreire4444]

@@itserinb thank you so much! 14 it is! 💕

[@StopTouchingMyPlumbbob]

Ummmm…. I hate math and that’s gonna take longer is there another way of doing it

[@itserinb]

Just place your stitches and count to 4 every time!

[@theartofcrochetbychandra3079]

💞💞💞

[@1800JCful]

Is it actually labeled that? Because where I'm at the same yarn is labeled a #4.

[@itserinb]

Yes my label said #3 light !
