Thank you so much for your tutorials! This was my first successful top. That makes my third 'first time' project from your tutorials. Shawl, boho bag, and this top. A LOT of projects that I've tried on other channels come out too big but yours are perfect. I also really like your style of teaching. Simplicity rather than overcomplicating things. I'm going to try the hat next. One of these days I'll get the courage up to try the shorts and pants. My daughter REALLY wants them. Anyway, thanks again SO much! There were times when I got so discouraged from failures but then your projects turned out great. Saved my yarn from a bonfire a time or two!!

[@TheCraftNut]

Haha the last statement made me lol! I understand all to well!! I love that so much and almost brings tears to my eyes! I am so glad that my tutorials work so well for you!! I would love to see some of your finished projects if you would like to tag me on Instagram! And you totally got the shorts and pants if you can do those other projects!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! ☮️💙🎶

[@Aelaeoni]

Thank You for the tutorial! It is a beautiful design. I'm making a swimsuit cover for my eldest daughter and she wears a 5X so I added another 6 rows to the square to give it a total of 20 inches diagonally per square. She measures at a 70 inch hip and if my math is correct the added rows give it an 80 inch circumference. So again, Thank you!

[@TheCraftNut]

Love that you were easily able to adjust it for exactly what you needed! Nice work! Thank you for the kind words! ☮️💙🎶

How did you do it I need to make fora3xxx . What were the repeats and please help me

This top is so cute and great for the summer! Quick question, how would I adjust the top so that it fits for a size xl? And what should I do if I wanted to make the straps thicker?

[@TheCraftNut]

To make the straps thicker I would just go around more times and as for the xl I would do the same thing extending the rounds by a few 💙☮️💙🎶

[@CassieSmart365]

🤣 I love your replies to people asking for smaller sizes and sizes for BABIES lmaoooo u have me rolling! I admit, I’m looking at this for my 13yr. Old daughter..... HOWEVER, SHE WILL BE WEARING A SHIRT UNDER IT! OR ILL BURN IT Hahahahahaha! I don’t mind her wearing cute stuff, but girls and women can show off their body in a modest fashion. I’m also looking at to modify the shirt by adding in double crocheted lines under the second level of squares. Making the shirt a bit longer, as well as adding in a piece of lace ribbon, braided in the waist area to help cinch it to her size/waist. I love this though! It’s BEAUTIFUL!

I wanna cryyyy😭😭😭 im confused at the point where you start the strap. I did my chain length and attached it to the front piece adding 2 sc like you said. But from there I'm so confused... idk if you can help me understand it better or someone else can..... I'm at (15.55) pleaseeeee help .

I’d love to help in any way I can! What exactly are you having trouble with??

[@destinycortez231]

@@TheCraftNut im not sure how to continue the trim for the top of the shirt. After I did the chain length I needed I connected the strap to the front by adding 2 sc in the chain 3 space. But how to finish the trim is where I get confused . THANK YOU FOR REPLYING! Your amazing. I wish I could send a picture where I'm stuck at. Not sure n if I explained it that well. I'm at 16 mins

[@TheCraftNut]

Sorry it took me so long to reply again it doesn’t notify about the replies. So you just need to turn the shirt and be looking at the opposite side that you want to connect the strap to. That will be the space you put those stitches in just like the one you came off of in the other side. I hope that makes sense and if not I’ll try to help more 💙☮️💙🎶

[@cynthiavermatt447]

this is beautful however there seems to be something off about the second last row the two loops should have same amount of chan=ins yes? because it just looks weird with a 7 and a 4 chain

[@TheCraftNut]

I’m not quite sure what you mean? I’d love to help though! ☮️💙🎶

[@cynthiavermatt447]

Oh thanks for replying ....I crochet quite often it was not a mistake it was just confusing for me on second last row where you did four chains and seven chains just the way you said it I thought it looked un balanced and it was I did four chains single and four chains it worked out so it turns out it was just me I just misunderstood what you said I think . I figured it out and its fine . Thanks so much though and its a lovely top do you have a short pattern Im making for my daughter .

[@ZebraKitten]

Can anyone tell me what size the squares should be for the large size? I've got a much finer yarn I want to use.

The individual squares for a size large should measure 11” across when measuring corner to corner diagonally across the square ☮️💙🎶

[@ZebraKitten]

@@TheCraftNut thanks.

[@Diamon335]

I like your tutorial but I didn’t hear or see how much yarn it takes. I’d hate to start the project and run out of yarn. Please post how much yarn is needed for the project.

For projects like this I always get at least 500 yards

[@alaskaaa_off3291]

Hello! I want to make a small size... But I only have 70g of yarn... Can I do it ?

[@TheCraftNut]

It would depend on the weight of the yarn. The amount of yards would let you know if you have enough or not, I hope that helps! ☮️💙☮️

[@nabeela9327]

Iam making this top for my sister .. she is not around so i dont know how long should i make the strap.. how much is the standard length of a strap or chains u wud take for small size

[@TheCraftNut]

I would do a 12-13 inch strap. That's total. So about 6-6.5 inches in either side when folded in half

[@alexcianelson]

Hi, what fibre do you recommend and how much balls of yarn do you recommend for this design?

[@TheCraftNut]

It depends on the size you are making on how much yarn you’ll need but I would say 500 yards to be safe. Also I’ve used 100% acrylic but it also just depends on the feel and fit that you are going for! ☮️💙🎶

Whats the size of this cropped top and if i wanna make different sizes what should i do !?

there are instructions for that in the video and on my written pattern. not sure how big you are needing it?

[@lisabrown9299]

is it possible to make this for little girls? how would you do this if possible

[@TheCraftNut]

The smallest size I have made this top is 28” around the bust. You can find that in the written pattern which is linked in the description box of this video. Any smaller than that I personally would not feel comfortable making as I do not feel this is an appropriate things for small children to be wearing. I hope that helps! 😊☮️💙🎶

[@jdmosaics]

How many balls for the small 32” and is it Cotton? Thanks

[@TheCraftNut]

You can use cotton if you would like, I used acrylic 😊☮️💙🎶 also about 300-500 yards I would say (also depends on the size) to work one of these 😊☮️💙🎶

[@vjg420]

I used one deramores own brand 100g yarn, following instructions for a medium and worked up as an extra small I'd say. I bought two balls just incase though

[@fiji5084]

Hello, first of all, fantastic job! Thanks for it. And what should I do if I need xs? Thank you in advance :)

[@TheCraftNut]

I am so glad you like it! :) And hmm a extra small for this particular piece would be a little tricky, but if I had to try it out I would still make a size small square but instead of working double crochets I would work single crochets all the way around. so work the first and second row the same, then ch 2 which would count as a sc and a ch 1, then sc around the next ch 5, (ch 3, sc around the next ch 5, ch 1, and then work 5 sc into the next ch 5 sp, ch 3, and work 5 sc into the same sp, ch 1, and sc around the next ch 5 sp,) the repeat the (abc) all the way around slip stitching into the first ch of the ch 2 when you make it all the way around. Hopefully that helps! If it doesn't work out (because I've never worked that, that is just what I am suggesting to you to try) Then I am more than willing to help out more! :)

[@karenannbrosko5505]

For XL would I just add to the chain 7 ? If so, how many??? And thank you in advance :)

[@TheCraftNut]

No I would not add to the chain seven. For an extra large I would work an extra row of double crochet all the way around after the last row. So finish the last row as you would for a large, slip st into the first St as normal. Then chain three as a DC and work one double crochet for each st or chain all the way around, adding extra on the corners if you need to! I hope that helps and makes sense! If you need more help let me know! :)

[@TheCraftNut]

Also, the bust size for a size large is 44" so I'm not sure what the bust size of that will be but after you work one square you can measure it from corner to corner across the square and multiply that by four to figure out the bust size before you move on to make sure it will be the size you need
