[@eduardaalegre6390]

Hi Brianna. I just love your creations! Could you please let me know the name of the yarn that you used to do the HUA Green Top with sleeves, please??

[@sayabonakdarian9295]

Hi, I love your tutorial, very clear and I'm nearly finished so excited to see how it turns out. Just a question, I made my back panel a bit longer, how should I attach the sleeves to the back panel? Should I still start from the top corner of the back panel and leave a bit on the bottom??

[@moonandbaileys]

Hello, thank you so much for your kind feedback! The sleeves and back panel are supposed to be in the same length, but if your back panel is a bit longer, you may leave a but of length at the bottom and finish the piece with a sc border to keep it neat. Hope this helps~

[@sayabonakdarian9295]

My sleeves came out beautiful, just a little tight and short :( I'm going to try again though!

[@Toriluvscrafting]

can I make this with a 5 mm hook and size 4 yarn? I recently lost all my crochet stuff and am working on rebuilding my hook collection again but I am obsessing over this shrug and I want to make it now

[@moonandbaileys]

@@Toriluvscrafting Yes, you can! Or try using a bigger hook if you’d like it to be more lacy ☺️

[@genshinsqiqi]

you have no idea how excited i am to make this oh myyy goddd, ive been eyeing it for a while so now that im finished with a big flower project i can finally start on thisss 🥳🥳 a question tho: is FLO or BLO used in any part of this pattern?

[@moonandbaileys]

I'm happy to hear that, can't wait to see your Riley Shrug! Noo, this pattern only use basic stitches: ch, sc, hdc, dc, and tr. Hope this helps!

[@artgalaxy-it9fq]

Please do one tutorial for freya top that you made one recently that red one ❤

[@moonandbaileys]

Freya top will be released as a paid pattern, there won't be any free tutorial for it :)

[@Krispytene]

Thank you for this wonderful pattern and tutorial ☺️❤ I was wondering if you could tell us how many yards of yarn was used in your tutorial, as to better calculate if I can substitute using yarn from my stash? Thank you so much! 💓

[@moonandbaileys]

You're very welcome! I used approx 470m for my shrug, hope this helps!

[@emilygal9989]

I just finished the shrug with black acrylic yarn! i lov it so much and i really want to wear it, but it keeps falling off my shouders. Any tips or ideas how to fix it?

[@koki11100]

Maybe make a chain in the front and tie it?

[@MiraBeami]

Love it! I'll definitely do it! Just a question: aren't those extended single crochet?

[@hoaithu5670]

How many yarns did you use

[@baopham2816]

Hi, I' love to make this but I want to add a front piece as well, do you recommend making another back piece for the front, will the stitch count or the shape be weird? Or should I do the Riley sweater but make it shorter instead to turn it into a shrug with fron piece? Thank you❤

[@moonandbaileys]

Hello, if you want to make a front panel, I suggest following the Riley Sweater pattern but making it a shorter length

[@baopham2816]

@@moonandbaileys thank you!!!

[@letyscrochet]

I’m so excited for this tutorial! I can’t wait to make this when the exam season ends!! Just a question, did you crochet in the back loop only? You insert the hook so quickly I can’t see it well… Also, is there a reason why you turn your work when making the sleeves? I’m new to crocheting and I’m still learning hehe Thank you for this video tutorial ☀️🎀

[@moonandbaileys]

Hello, noo I work in both loops throughout the pattern. The turn on every new round is to avoid your stitches looking slanted, hope this helps ☺️🩷

[@joelleamelsvoort1688]

Thank you so much!! I love your tutorials! They are so well made.

[@moonandbaileys]

You're very welcome and thank you sm for the kind words! 💖

[@taytayslayslayslay]

do you have any advice on how to stop the sleeves shrinking as you go up? not sure if that makes sense but for some reason i seem to lose so many stitches along the way and the top of the sleeve is about half the size of the bottom 😔

[@gosmicgrove]

You may be skipping stitches

[@xuanonoonononoonoonn]

IM GONNA MAKE THISSSS💗

[@asandamncwango9238]

Excuse me, what?? You are so beautiful 😭

Ohh thank you so much 😭🤍

[@viioollettaa]

hey um i dont have a 4 mm hook so if its matter if i do it with 4.5 mm hook thanks ❤

[@moonandbaileys]

It doesn't matter since this is a made-to-measure pattern! You may use any hook that you'd like~

Good morning 🌄🌞 blessings ☕ awesome 👍🏾 thank you

[@SM-pp4nm]

How many chains did you do for the arms? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@moonandbaileys]

I made 68 fch, but make sure you make your chains according to your measurement

[@Angel-fv2iw]

hello, so i'm working on the back panel and I'm on the 2nd row and the last double crochet, I don't understand where I;m supposed to put it, because if I follow the way you did, I end up with an extra stitch than my original stitch count and I don't know if that's how it's supposed to be. can you explain if there is supposed to be more stitches than the original/starting stitch count?

[@moonandbaileys]

Hello, you're supposed to make your last st into the turning chain

[@Angel-fv2iw]

@@moonandbaileys yea but from your video i don't understand what that is, they all look the same is there supposed to more stitches or not?

[@moonandbaileys]

@@Angel-fv2iw The total number of sts should be from the first ch up until the marked ch (13:55)

[@Angel-fv2iw]

up until, meaning with or just before?

[@moonandbaileys]

@@Angel-fv2iw with! so from your first ch to your marked st

[@zehrasozer156]

I have a question: Do we really have to turn our work at the end of each row? Why don't we just keep going straightforward? Thanks

[@moonandbaileys]

The stitches might look slanted if you don't turn at the end of each row!

Would an acrylic yarn make the shrug be warmer than a mohair yarn?

I think yes!

is it just me or does my sleeve look so big n wide? is it normal? i followed the same exact size in the vid bc thats my size :D

[@nakshamn2999]

Why is my sleeve getting smaller tho

[@moonandbaileys]

Hi, I would suggest you to recount your number of sts and make sure it's still the same number as your fch! If it's the same number, yet your sleeves are getting smaller, maybe your tension were too tight when making the fch, hope this helps!
