Crochet Raglan Crop Top (XS-3XL)

Wassup! In this video I'll be showing you how to make a top-down raglan style crop top. I suggest a lighter weight 4 yarn or a size 3 yarn will work for this project. If you are using a weight 4 I do suggest using a 5.5 mm hook. I actually made this top with a bunch of cotton scrap yarn.
When working your body in the round, to bring in the top closer to your body you can add a decrease row every other row. I show how to decrease in the portion of the video where I show you how to work the sleeve. You can apply the same method to the body of the top.
You'll need a 5 mm hook, yarn and scissors

[@artonyalascrafts4892]

Thank you 💖💓😊😻

[@sdjharris63]

Yessssss!

[@KleiinesJulchen]

I keep coming back to this tutorial bc it helps me sooooo much sizing my projects! Most of the videos or patterns I watch go foe measurements and even then I can't get the right size 🤣❤

[@arikanudoka6023]

Who else gets super excited when they see a new Ladria crochet video? I legit do a lil dance. 😂

[@LaDriaLaVae]

Yassss 👯‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️❤️

[@RaissaHeidi]

I finished mine a few days ago. As a beginner I think I did a good job. You teach very well, thanks a lot!

[@LaDriaLaVae]

Wonderful!

[@sixlikesgore7503]

the way you teach is phenomenal - thank you so much for the zoom ins, and taking the time to display the stitches needed for every size. i can't believe i'm just finding your channel now

[@LaDriaLaVae]

Thank you for watching !!!

[@zedkenzo]

First of all, your voice/accent is everything… second this is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen. Thank you so much!!

[@fershologram]

This has been one of the best tutorials I have followed as a beginner. Usually I end up frogging the whole thing or big portions of it because the tutorials aren’t clear and you did a fantastic job at explaining

[@Nifty-v4d]

Hi, LaDria. I am such a big fan of your channel. You are terrific at teaching, never forgetting the smallest details. It is amazing how you can teach multiple sizes with such clarity. I love your work. Thank YOU!

[@LaDriaLaVae]

Thank you for watching 😀

[@tressmess1]

This is the best beginner for crop top, normal top, long sleeve tutorial. 👌 thank you. I love this video. My go too!

[@americanwoman2360]

I’m going to start this today. You are great and rare teacher. I Struggle at times with the join and seam when. It’s not clear where to go after the chain 2. I’m so happy I found you and this video. I’ll comment again when I’m done with my project. So excited. Also love that this is for cotton yarn that I have a lot of. Thank you!!

[@lc-tn4sf]

You're a true hero for listing out what to do for each size.

[@LaDriaLaVae]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@Sadsoupfly]

I just made this in a little under 2 days from start to finish and you are by far one of the best for step by steps and OMG THE SIZES I even had to modify mine a bit (just less rows on the body) and it fits beautifully, just how I wanted in my head!

[@clellehargrove912]

Your teaching style is so good you make it so easy and clarity that is the vital point, shout out to you thank you so much I have gone on to make three crop top two large and one medium within a week in a half.🤩👍👍

[@fjenkins999]

Very nice. You could change the hook size to a 5mm for the last couple of rows so that it will hug to your body

[@LaDriaLaVae]

Thank you!

[@jenniferwilliams9824]

Your presentation is great!! you give the size the material, and the hook number. It is so clear and understandable. You are a fantastic teacher very confident, and a great presenter. I wish all the tutorials give us a much information as you do!!! I wish you all the very best with you craft. London, England

[@cintiapollock2486]

I made this with my hand spun alpaca its a size 3-3.5 yarn 2 ply it looks so cute this pattern is adorable I did the decreases on the sleeve a little differently so they turned out more puffy along the top of the sleeve but i have bigger arms then you so decreases under my arm is uncomfy. It turned out so cute my hubby said it was adorable lol and he hates crochet so there ya go! ~*~

[@LaDriaLaVae]

Lol awesome!

[@tressmess1]

this is the best pattern for a top i have found. also you teach it very well. thank you for sharing.

[@talishaj3714]

How exciting! This looks quick and easy... thank you!!! I have a ball of Caron Cotton Cakes and I’m going to attempt an off the shoulder version of this, with fringe at the bottom! 🤔🙏🏾😊🧶

[@junerose8439]

Thanks for the very clear instructions on how to make this really cute top. I made it with a size 4 yarn and a 5 hook. Turned out too bulky around the sleeves. Then i made another one with a size 3 yarn and a 5.5 hook and it turned out perfect. My fashionista daughter is going to love this. Hopefully I'll be able to post a picture for you. Thanks again. Great pattern and good instructions.

[@sherit8594]

June, I was wondering about the "Guage" because everybody's tension is different. The sleeves that she shows for her demo/video look puffy. I'm thinking of using a different size hook after watching. Also don't know if I like the holes from the chain 2 for the "points for the Yoke" will see... Glad your second one turned out 💫

[@cuthbertdrakes6278]

Never crochet wearable before I was looking for a pattern to crochet a top and Pamela referred to u with her Raglan top she did. Am so happy. Thanks for sharing

[@LaDriaLaVae]

U R so good at explaining this pattern & stitches!

[@sagaciouslysage9454]

Loved this! Just completed a floor length dress utilizing this pattern. I really appreciated the sizes already counter for. I dislike calculating sizing myself. Just want to create minus the 🧮.

[@peachesmay6872]

I make top down Raglan tops and dresses all the time but I never thought when doing in a front post stitch on a decrease to skip the 1st one and do the front post on the 2nd stitch. makes it so less bulky.it looks so much neater I don't know why I never thought of that. You really never stop learning as long as I've been crocheting I still learn something new. thank you so much 💛🍑

[@LaDriaLaVae]

No problem, I totally made that up on the fly lol

[@dominiquegarcia82]

I just happen to stumble across this pattern n I must say before I finished watch this tutorial.....GREAT WORK....I crochet but learning new styles is always great no?!? 💓💓💓

[@brynnhambley7964]

LOVE this tutorial! I made this with three different colors, and discovered that if you double up the border you describe, you can make a lettuce-trim hem! Super cute, and I actually forwent the collar because I liked the square neck so much. Thanks for an awesome video!

[@wronggeometry]

What do you mean by double it up? Like two stitches in each stitch?

[@sandeedee8891]

This is so cute! Thanks for the tutorial! I have left over yarn that I didn’t know what I was gonna do with. I’m gonna start on this today

Hello Landria! I am writing to you from Spain. I have wanted to learn to crochet for a long time but because I don't have time I never do it. A few weeks ago I discovered your channel and fell in love with your style and what you do. So thanks for giving me the inspiration I needed.

[@LaDriaLaVae]

Thank you so much!

[@lbreiter9838]

Loving this sweater! Is there a written pattern, LaDria? AND just to be sure, when I chain 2 after the slip stitch, do I turn and do the next row for each of the 13 initial rows? Finally, how much of an increase should each row have?

[@tashaw.950]

Thank you so much for being such a fabulous teacher ❤

[@joannthompson5791]

Just found this tutorial, awesome, thank you very much.

[@noradupuch7849]

I'm abt to make this one too. Looks so beautiful. Thnx !

[@sherrycarney4924]

Beautiful tutorial! I have one question about this. I’m way too old to wear a cute crop top like this one, so if I were to make it longer, say enough to cover my booty, should I increase some rows around the middle and/or hips? And would you recommend increasing at the sides or elsewhere? Thks again for the tutorial and the size adjustments!

[@Melanie-yj8hs]

You are a wonderful teacher thank you,!

[@emmaashby8278]

Could you do the same concept with a more complicated stitch along the edges of the base square? Do you have any ideas for stitches that may work, I'd love to give it a try after I get a hang of making this top the basic way! Thank you for this tutorial I loved it and I love your vibes. I'm a new subscriber for sure!!
