DIY Crochet Halter Top // Beginner-Friendly Crochet + Free Pattern

[@itsjazlyn156]

I just love how you took all the time to explain it so clearly and well and you didn’t take any shortcuts you did it from beginning to end just to show us this tutorial even though you won’t use this top thank you so much! 😭❤️

[@jaidalovesyou8799]

I watched 3 videos before this and did not get it but you really made it soo much easier❤️ Your a good teacher Thank You😊

[@Mildred2694]

Great tutorial, love my first crochet top. If you're a bit wider take it into account when stitching the straps, I used 200 instead of 150 so I could make a nice long bow at the end.

[@katherinetaylor692]

I love your tutorials so much. Keep up the great work!!! They’re the best on KZbin, and in spite of one of the earlier comments, your hair is beautiful😂❤️

[@krystaleverdeen]

haha thank you so much, you're awesome xD Yay! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos, & I am looking forward to sharing so many more projects with you all this summer!

[@brielle9198]

I just finished this and I absolutely love it. I made too many foundation chains at first, but once I fixed that, I made it in stripes and love how it turned out. Thank you for this!

[@blusong4907]

I love this!! The length is perfect and the yarn color is everything 😍

[@krystaleverdeen]

Thank you so much, I am really glad you like it :D

[@lizard773]

did this one with a rounder belly, now i'm going to a weightloss journey and after that i'll do another one to be more proud of myself🥰

[@oliviaspeer819]

Made one last week with a different back! I am in love, and I have gotten so many compliments on it, and some friends want me to make them one! One friend said she wanted to learn to crochet just to make one 😂❤️ Great tutorial

[@krystaleverdeen]

That's wonderful to hear! I'm so glad you are happy with your creation, and have even inspired your friends to take up crocheting as well! :D Thank you for taking the time to write this, experiences like this help motivate me to continue making tutorials! ❤️

[@isabellevertucci2747]

Hi Olivia and Krystal! I'm just about to start making this. It looks so great! Is the stitching close enough to not have to wear a bra underneath?

[@bethanymota8957]

So cute! I like that you redid the tutorial and made these changes, it looks really good!

[@krystaleverdeen]

Thank you so much! I am glad you like it :D Many have been asking for tutorials on tops that are longer, so hopefully this one helps! (even though it's still a crop top - but all you would need to do to make it longer is crochet more rows :D )

[@violalaful]

Thank you so much for your great tutorial! I was able to change it so it fits my size 40 and already made 2 of your tops!

[@melissaherbert4895]

violalaful how did you change it to fit you?

[@violalaful]

Melissa Herbert I have relatively small breasts but a large ribcase. And for fitting cups I used my desired yarn with the respective hook size and tried with 12 single loops and started doing the tutorial. And if it was too narrow in the end (but covered my boobs vertically) I started anew and added one or two single loops in the beginning (so 14). It was trial and error. After that I simply attached the two cups (the second I made exactly in the fashion as the last perfect approach of the first cup) and then single looped a chain that covered around my rib cage since I used buttons and not tied the chain in the back.

[@violalaful]

But I you have larger breast than a B cup I would start with maybe 14-15 loops and then do the trial and error from that on.

[@kimbasaurusrex2]

Thank you for this! I think it would make the top look a little more neat if a proper decrease was used instead of just skipping the stitch and leaving little holes along the sides of the top. The double crochet two together (dc2tog) decrease

[@lilyallison3516]

thank you very much, this helped my a lot with mine bc i had so many wholes while decreasing!!!

[@ThuyDuong-kj4mu]

I made a rainbow top during my quarantine, it was my very first crochet top and it's amazing! Your tutorial is a piece of cake to understand, very detailed. Thank you so much ^^

Your tutorial is the most easy to follow and beginner friendly for me ^_^ Keep up the good job and thank you so much. I'm not really fan of wearing a crop top (have a lot of belly fat that's why) so this tutorial of yours is so perfect for me.

Taelyn C did she skip a stitch at the beginning and the end of the row?

[@taereecutie97]

Juanita D just the beginning

[@Ericalaerkelyng]

I’ve never crochet in my life. yet here I am trying to make it

[@katiewm]

It's a little sad that you have to take apart your projects :( I think if you set up a way for your subscribers to donate a dollar a month or something, a ton of people would do it! You provide so much free content with your videos and written patterns, I feel like you deserve to have an adequate amount of materials to be able to keep your pieces. With your subscriber count, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to collect some money for materials. I feel like it's only fair to donate at least a bit for all the work you do for free, if someone has the money to do so.

[@annamariewaithira]

She could start a patreon or maybe her channel is already monetized

[@alohaflower1125]

Yes, do it ! Ive been watching you for years. I love how you teach. aloha

[@mrss3165]

Maybe she should sell her work

I would definitely buy her work, she could also set up tip jar through paypal, venmo, or cash app :)

[@anasosa7703]

Excellent video! Great tutorial & you look stunning!

[@krystaleverdeen]

Thank you so much, you are very kind xD

[@victoriapeck3661]

Hi thanks for this great tutorial. :) One question though, after the first set of chains, when we start our double crochets do we skip 2 stitches? I couldn't tell if you skipped or did the first DC in the last chain. I'm quite new to crochet as you can probably tell lol. (LOVE it tho!) Thanks again for taking the time 🧶💟

[@sarahiles9588]

you made this so easy to understand!! thank you!

[@TvstossSOPRO]

Do a joint double crochet for this, it stops the holes from showing!!

[@luciawatson7043]

Sorryyy but what’s a joint double crochet?

[@sisina_sie7652]

@@luciawatson7043It's more commonly known as "decrease" or "dc2tog" (especially in patterns) and it's when you turn two stitches ino one I can link a video that explains it if you want

[@tamashii_hana9561]

I really curious about making the decrease for the bust part. I'm afraid to make a halter top for someone since I'm still now aware on how to make it fit for other people by just them providing their sizes.

[@oyinkansolamare7131]

I love the video. But please can a size 3 pin be used to crochet the top?

[@kennytijani7051]

Nice ...💟💟your videos have been really helpful

[@SierraColeman0622]

Do you decrease on both sides? Mine isn’t turning out triangular.

[@miranlia7885]

I would like to make a gift to my niece, and so I do not know the dimensions. Could you tell me what dimensions you knit? and if I can make it with cotton thread so it does not get hot? Thank you in advance. Your work is fantastic.

[@salaivillasenor1659]

Is this top see through at all since it’s double crochets, it’s super cute ! Just wanted to know (:

[@gifttt]

I can't be crying because of a double stitch

[@deannadarigan398]

I so relate to not having enough yarn for every one of my projects I want to do lol

[@emelynrussell2185]

Delana Wright wait do all goodwills have yarn? or is it just the one near you that you know of?

[@BrownSkinnedBeauty33]

My 5 rows aren’t a straight rectangle. The edges are misshaped. What can I do? After I chain 2 on the last stitch of each row do I double crochet into the same stitch once I turn the row?

[@AlyTray]

When you do the chain one instead of the chain 2 when you turn your work, do you go into the chain one once you done with the row like you would with the top of the chain 2?

[@zuzannakofta8607]

How many hunks of wool did you use for this top? Im thinking how many i should buy

[@reyhaney7646]

I love all of your videos!! I just learned how to knit, and i was wondering do you know any good tutorials for making Knit tops?

[@krystaleverdeen]

Thank you so much! No, I don't know any good knitting tutorials, sorry :/

[@BookLover213]

Ok, so I have a quick question, so when you did the 5 rows of double crochets, is that for like to how long you want it to be up until your breasts and then you do the decrease thing until you get to your neck area? I was very confused on that, so yeah.

[@cassandrarudolph1307]

I like this but how would I make the back solid ? I don’t want the back that way Do I make The back the same Way as the front

[@margaretjeroe6773]

Could you please make a single crochet version of this perfic fit

Why does my project curl up and twist? Is it to do with tension?

[@susanbusby46]

In uk we have 4 ply and then double knitting yarn, could someone tell me what is used in this pattern

[@maritthostenson1804]

When you make the initial chain and wrap it around your rib cage, do you stretch it?

[@averymckenna2274]

Marit Thostenson it doesn’t look like she did. It seems to me like you wouldn’t because you don’t want it to be too tight. Idk though. I’m still pretty new to this.

[@cooldog7291]

I’m trying to make the first row of double crochet and I have a wave pattern

[@jadasmr5617]

I only decreased at the beginning of the rounds at first but then i realized the decrease was too slow and started decreasing from the beginning and ends of the rows. When would have been a good time to add that extra decrease at the end?

[@lars0770]

I make it is not perfect but i proud thnks. So much

[@Alinawinberg]

I am doing this right now to try but idk I don’t think that it is going well

[@nicolebuckner8958]

Hey girl I love this tutorial! I just started to crochet & this has been very helpful! Just a quick question - is there a reason why you use a double stitch rather than single? Just curious! :)

[@medhawinikapoor4735]

Hey! Im new to crochet too! I think single would be smaller and you wud have to stitch more rows to get the same size

[@bonnieshelton3863]

If you want this less see through, use SC and possibly a smaller hook as well.

[@adrienneli9200]

what do you do if your chains are tight but your actual stitches are a little bit loose so then it starts making a curve?

[@ytfp]

Love your long hair you are so beautiful and I love your crochet. I hope I am not the only guy that loves the crochet look on women.

hmm I'm not sure what a "70's scarf halter" would look like. Could you describe it for me? :)

[@Analeecolette]

hey, i know every body is different, but how many rows did you do total?

[@jenniferc6659]

Please, I am a beginner and I have 3 grandaughters who want Halters. So I need the number of stitches to start a small size and a medium size., also. The decrease is in every row on each side or alternate rows. This will help me very much.I want to subscribe but didn’t go trough. Can you send instructions by mail. Eternally grateful. Love Martha

does anyone know what yarn she uses ?

[@Fatebycosplay]

I need some help I'm using the correct size hook and I'm using Red Heart yarn by my second row my work starts to curl up into a spiral then when I start decreasing I have large gaps in between the stitches how can I fix this

[@mayaleigh6982]

Im not an expert or anything but it might be because your stitches are tighter in your second row than your first row.

[@carmenbabilonia1637]

I will try this wish me good luck lol

[@darreshajohnson1273]

What bra size do u wear? Is there a printable pattern for this?

[@iwannabeabeautyqueen]

How do you stop your tops from being to gappy or see through when they are finished? Mine always end up too revealing if I dont wear a bra 😒

[@katew3661]

You could try using a smaller size hook. I used my 4mm one to make this top and even that is much less holey than the one the in video
