crochet twist top tutorial | beginner crochet pattern

[@elizafaulkner8408]

Just finished! This is my first proper crochet item I have made for myself and I love it!! I had my doubts with the twist but the tutorial was so helpful!! Thank you 🥰

[@anna-greene]

so glad you found it helpful!!

[@katiemartin2687]

Just finished making this top, I went with dc as I wanted thicker stripes and I love it!! The video/Pattern is super easy to follow!

[@anna-greene]

yayy I’m so glad it was helpful!

[@rileyhawkins6233]

is it see-through with double crochet? I'd looove to do double crochets but i dont want to have to wear anything underneath

[@katiemartin2687]

@riley hawkins I find its a little more see through with dc l, but if you wore a similar coloured bra it should be fine :)

[@sammymaldonado8598]

​@@rileyhawkins6233 I'd say do sc for the top part and DC for the bottom

[@Ilove_drpepper]

@@rileyhawkins6233 yeah it’s a little see through with dc but I sewed some bra cups into mine so I won’t have to wear anything under

[@uyduruk.grafik]

i just finished mine!! its super cute and tutorial was so easy to follow, thank you 💕

[@Ruby_1972]

I'm giving this a try! Love it! Little helpful hint: if you work through the "back bump" of the chain, you'll get a cleaner looking finish on the bottom edge 👍❤

[@ja1an11]

This is like a really easy project, I been working for like 2 days (w breaks bc I don't crochet often) but this works up super fast, ty!💜

[@breezymarie03]

this tutorial was so easy to follow!! took me 3 days because this was my first attempt at a crochet top but it turned out so cute. thank you for this

[@iluvheIIokitty]

thank you so much! i just finished the shirt, and it’s not perfect but i’m so glad i took the time to do it! it took me like 3-4 days, bc i am a beginner 😭😭

[@leonie3916]

Easy pattern and well explained. I did it twice, BUT on my 2nd one I did hdc and cut the string after each row of that colour, then switched. It's much more supple (fits better and doesn't fold), way better, and I personally find it prettier (even if there is a bit more work weaving in all the ends).

[@luisanacabrera5822]

just finished making thissssss its so cute i love it, tysm u explained it so clearly

[@anna-greene]

aww yay! thanks for watching

[@gab4laena]

MINE TURNED OUT SO CUTE IM IN LOVE OMG! first top i ever crocheted THANK YOU FOR THIS TUTORIAL!! 💕💕

[@jennyle-ed3jz]

I love that you explained this so clearly!! I just finished it today and it is one of my favorite pieces ever. Will definitely be making more tops like this.🩷

[@julidescole3195]

omg ive been looking for this specific top and i couldnt find it anywhere! love this!

[@anna-greene]

So glad! let me know if you have any questions!

[@MaddiePynes-gk1oo]

If you do two rows of the same color you won’t get that inside outside look! :)

[@anna-greene]

ooo yes great point!!!

[@gabby2.082]

I’m working on it that way and it looks cleaner not having to cut the ends of every color!

[@sourmilkies]

@@gabby2.082the way she did it you didn’t have to cut the ends lol

[@jessicaschreiner7021]

​@@sourmilkies Wdym? She cut it and worked in the lose ends. I think the other person means, not cutting them at all, bc you start with the new color everytime on one side. So you can leave the yarn attached and just pull it up when you start with it

[@victoriaenabulele3672]

Do you mean 2 rows of the same color through the whole thing?

[@sophia6993]

just finished !! the pattern is so easy, tysm for this tutorial, kisses from brasil 💗💗

[@Loisa599]

I recommend using stitch markers for the calculations part!

[@karenwoo64]

Aww this Wee top is lovely, my wee granddaughter will love it thank you so much for the tutorial 💖💖

[@smeetbotato]

Thank you for the tutorial! I reverse image searched from an obviously fake crochet etsy store and this came up haha. Definitely feel better knowing I'm not supporting a stolen pattern at the very least

[@hoshibaamiiiii]

I MADE THE TOPPPPP I LOVEEE ITTT,,THANKS TO YOUUU MWAAA

[@bonniem1865]

I made this over the course of a day and I looove the colours. I don’t understand why the back increased so much because when I measured my first long chain there was a big gap between what would be the area where the straps would be but when I was finished I realized that that gap had become extremely small to the point where the shirt is so big now. I only used 95 chains and a 4,5mm hook with half double crotchets and I feel like I’m about the size of you anna but I don’t know what happened because I followed the tutorial word for word. Guess I’ll have to chain a lot less next time.

[@anna-greene]

it definitely tends to get a bit wider as you work and I also recommend making really loose chains so you can better get an idea of how wide it’ll be!

[@bonniem1865]

@@anna-greene thank you!🧚‍♂️

[@sandysaknaan2665]

I have the opposite! My get so tight to the point that its to small.

[@jessicabisesar9326]

what a cute dorm !! love the top, will def try making it 💘💘💘

[@a99g]

It looks very beautiful! I'm excited to make one for myself 🤭🎀💖💖

[@anna-greene]

thanks for watching!!

[@goddss6]

It's more purple/orange on the different sides because you turned at the end of the rows, making that side the front side for each color when you turned... ;)

[@andreagallardonavio2843]

The brand that design the top is called Lachant!! Is a knitwear brand based in Barcelona :)

[@anna-greene]

thank youuuuu!

[@deboraflores199]

thannk u for the tutorial, you made it so easy and it fits very nice

[@mollyhuddle1]

I cant wait to make this for my girls! Great tutorial thankyou😍

[@paytonhedgepeth610]

I’m currently following this tutorial and I loooove it, I was wondering if you had a measurement for about how long your top part was for the twist? I believe we are the same size, however I’m only using one skein of yarn instead of two so I think doing 19 rows for the twist may be a tad too small.

[@xotwod34]

just spent 3 days doing this and over estimated it’s stretching ability…… i didn’t losen the strings enough and it completely snapped:( i’m so sad because i was so excited and it looks so amazing, it was also my first project ever. I’m gonna fix the remains of the top piece atleast and keep it for memory

[@millywhitley7710]

Could I ask what you mean by this? I’m making this atm and I don’t want it to snap lol. Which strings? Was it the internal yarn? Or like the straps?

[@wellyestothetestuh555]

i’m so sorry i definitely would’ve cired

[@rayy2391]

thanks for watching! let me know if you have any questions

[@elizabethparent6742]

love this! is there a way to make it one piece all the way around, without the lace in the back?

[@anna-greene]

you can! you would just make a wider top than i did and just slip stitch the two sides together at the end. you’ll just have to be really careful to get the measurement right because it won’t be adjustable!

[@anna20812]

[@sabrinaguiyab]

Hii love this pattern and been wanting to make a top like this aack! Was curious how many grams you used for your top in your size?

[@anna-greene]

sorry i’m just replying but i used about 68 g/152 yards per color!

[@luanamartins4287]

Perfect , i just finished ❤🎉

[@debybranford6420]

I love this pattern

[@jxssxn]

You are a blessing

[@Ang-e9r]

Hi I’m new to crochet, would it matter if you use cotton or acrylic yarn & are u able to say what weight you’re using?? I also did your shrug tutorial it turned out amazing!!! I love your videos, super easy to follow! Thank you ❤

[@hanayia]

You can honestly use either, but i prefer cotton yarn for tighter tops like these because it doesn’t stretch like acrylic yarn does. She’s using weight 4 yarn in this vid btw :)

[@meeraalnajjar253]

Thank you for going thru every detail and answering the questions in my head just when they pop off during my watch but I didn’t understand in the first row after the twist on the second side why did u use just one color? I get that it’s a connecting chain but can’t I connect by using the two strands? Thank you again

[@mollyhuddle1]

I chained with both colors so no cut!

girl lost me at single crochet 😭😭

[@helen_derosa]

heyy i love the tutorial you are so good at explaining things! the only thing i’m stuck on is how to do the actual twist part of the shirt, for some reason the yarn doesn’t want to twist the way yours does. do you know what the problem might be? like if my yarn is to stiff or maybe i’m just doing it wrong?

[@isabellacristina3887]

I’m making mine rn I was just wondering if you can do it with just one color

[@vikivabe]

ima need a nice lil tutorial on how to do the twist cuz i cant seem to do it

[@sourmilkies]

you just twist it like normal like keep the left end laying down but on the right part of the rectangle, bring it up so the bottom right corner is flipped upwards to now be the top right corner if that makes any sense

[@angelarodriguezsuarez7903]

love it! i’m gonna make it for my sister’s birthday. She’s about the same size as the video one, do anyone knows how much yarn do I need? thanks :)

[@anna-greene]

I used about 68 g/152 yards per color!

[@heyheychuchu6466]

heyy! i'm a beginner in crochet and i wanted to use two colors of yarn that i have here, the only difference is the "thickness" of the yarn lines is different and i wonder if there is a problem about that? 💜

[@sydneyforrest9302]

Could you make a video on the butterfly top

[@liaa0809]

Loved this Tutorial! But my top slips as soon as I move no matter how tight I lace it up :(( Any tips?

[@Dorytos252]

If I have a really small yarn, what should I change?

[@arieltran893]

is there anyway to do a closed back instead of the threaded back?

[@sanyah.6]

do you know if i could make it have less of a gap for the twist?

[@annabanana7914]

okay so i followed ur pattern and made the chain 26 inches long but i’m on my 16th row for the twist part and it is now abt 30-34 inches long and fits my bust! pls help cus now i can’t do the laces ig x

[@lou5277]

had the same problem, u have to stretch ur chain to the farthest when ur measuring the 26 inches

[@froggy6595]

hey ik this is kind of late but i’m pretty sure that top is originally from a brand called gimaguas

[@carmenbenitez7134]

I just finished making this top, for some reason when I lace up the back and I try it on, the back bunches up and doesn’t lie flat. How can I fix this? If I loosen the lacing then it becomes too loose. Thanks!

[@crystaljohnson370]

Maybe try making the laces a little closer together when putting them through the top? Does this make sense?

[@immy-zo2jz]

@@crystaljohnson3701 year too late 😂

[@siobhanbryowsky8937]

how would you make the lower part smaller because my bust is bigger than my waist and it makes the top look to big

[@NicolaRodley-lr6et]

Ik I'm a bit late to answer your question but you could try do an invisible decrease on the bottom half which would make it smaller

[@sheslayzzz247]

okay so as per our measurment size that many chains we have to make? sorry if i spund dumb this is my first clothing crochet

[@whoisshe2002]

Can you please get a tutorial crochet slim sweater with heart cut out?

[@yahairadc05]

i haven’t even done anything and i’m already stressed tf out

[@godshella]

Lovely. I have a question. if the wool stretches, does it matter? i mean i still have to start with a chain depending on the size of the chest?

[@anna-greene]

you want to make your chain really loose to account for the stretching that will inevitably happen as you add more rows. you ideally want the finished, stretched product to wrap around your front with enough of a gap to add a lace and tie it once you’re done

[@earthlinglarissa]

For thicker stripes do you recommend DC, or doing 2 rows before switching colors?

[@anna-greene]

i’d recommend 2 rows so you don’t need to carry over and work over your other yarn color. that way you can just work with your one color and just drop it at the end and pick up the new color there at the end since you’ll be on the correct side

[@earthlinglarissa]

@@anna-greene Thank you for the advice, it's coming out great so far!

[@udo6263]

hey so the yarn stretches alot and im a 34A/B size. i was wondering if when you chained up to 26 inches...did your project stretch at any point making it longer?

[@giovanasantosseligsohn7100]

Is there anyway I could make this top without the lace back?? I really want to make this and I think it's really cute but I am a begginer and not a huge fan of backless tops

[@sadiemarr7203]

Hi this is awesome! Where did u get your black tank top when measuring?

[@anna-greene]

it’s from brandy melville!

[@rea7797]

Making this without the back tie part, hopefully I can figure it out 😅

[@anna-greene]

good luck! how are you closing it then?

[@katelyncrochets]

Can u still do it without the lace thing in the back?

[@MimiAndPaypayDances_xo]

Do you think you can make it in one color?

[@Urfavcatcake7]

Yeah 100% I don’t think it rly matters

[@patrobles]

hello i have a question , do you know if it’s the same thing for more than two colors ? 4:40

[@anna-greene]

Hey! if you’re using more than 2 colors you probably won’t want to work over your unused colors as you go so instead you’ll just fasten off with each color and reattach when it’s time to use that color again. let me know if that doesn’t make sense!

[@jesusmorgadinho2793]

Não é traduzido fica difícil perceber como é á frente

[@shortyspawn17]

Can I change colors without working over the yarn like that? I feel like it’s wasting yarn or does it make it easier in the process and cleaner outcome?

[@anna-greene]

you can! you’ll just need to cut your yarn each time and reattach on the next row you need it

[@lia.inlalaland]

how do you do this if you don’t want the lace in the back?

[@brunahaassaft]

fiz 170 correntinhas

[@evelynn1788]

if i wanted this top to not have a corset back, would i essentially just crochet the measurement i get from measuring all around my bust?

[@anna-greene]

unfortunately it’s not that simple since crochet has no stretch and you’d either not be able to get it on or it would be too loose to stay up

[@evelynn1788]

@@anna-greene ahh yes that makes sense, thank you for responding :)

[@NACtheMC]

So when you say continue the pattern like so (for the top part) do we continue to chain 1 every beginning of row?

[@anna-greene]

yes! that is your turning chain that lets you go up to the next row

[@AdriGonzalezuwu]

i made this but the bottom got too big so i recommend doing less chains in the middle

[@madijaz]

Just finished mine and it sits like a tube on me 🥲

[@ValeriaCorrea-yh3qu]

can i just do one color

[@anna-greene]

yes!

[@rosierosa4843]

hey guys does anyone know how i could go about making the gap any smaller?

[@nayru8396]

do you think i can knit it instead of crochet it?🥺

[@maryammedhat4507]

I have a question, how do I make it so there’s no hole under the twist ??

[@strawberry_cigs]

Is it possible with this pattern to just chain straps from the top and turn it into a cross back?

[@anna-greene]

yes, you could do that!

[@maddy9996]

how would i go about making this with one color yarn? (absolute beginner here haha)

[@anna-greene]

that’ll make it super easy!! instead of changing colors, just carry on using the same yarn for each row and do all the same things I show in the video. lmk if you have any questions about that :)

[@leahray7652]

How would I do this without the tie at the back? I just want a normal bandeau looking top but with the twist still in the front

[@anna-greene]

the issue is that crochet isn’t very stretchy and it’ll be super difficult to get it to your exact size by just crocheting all the way around. you might be able to get away with it if you add elastic to it but you probably can’t get a tight fit by just crocheting a tube top

[@ellahenson430]

i have a question. i think i chained too many for the cutout and it turned out gappy. is there a way to fix it without straying over?

[@EmilyBuntine-wg3ej]

I did this too, hoping it fixes itself if i keep going ...

[@Ajanae-r8c]

Hey Anna ( or anyone else can respond) one of the side is perfectly straight and the other side is jagged. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

[@eduardaavila3951]

hii! maybe u are doing your last stitch on the same chain, that way it ll increase to the side. I use to do that a lot!! now i pay more attention when finishing a row so it ends up straight
