easy crochet shrug tutorial for any size | here comes treble sleeves | Made in the Moment

[@merlemerle]

every single time I chain one, my mind IMMEDIATELY erases the memory of chaining one and I have to take one out to see if I actually chained one😂

[@madeinthemoment]

haha gotta love how the mind works sometimes

[@Im_just_a_girl_in_the_world]

SAMEEE OMG

[@mauramcfall9289]

And me ! After years of crocheting as well. Sometimes I can see the chain easily but still I check it!

Omg same 😂😂

[@mikaelakathleen1817]

meeeeeeeeeee

[@jessicafree8281]

Thank you for this tutorial!!!! I made it one row broader across the shoulders and one row longer in the sleeves and it fits me PERFECT! It’s so cozy I’m going to make another in a different colorway! I also somehow used less than 100grams of mohair, even though I double pulled for every color including the granny rows? Idk lmao

[@Maferneto]

This garment is so interesting and beautiful! I am surely trying it and I thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Hugs from Petrópolis, Brazil! 🤍🌻

this looks so fun and what i'd wear the heck out of:) going to the yarn store to look for suitable material soon

Great tutorial! I don't have mohair so I'm starting it with merino wool

[@kiliclark5298]

Absolutely adore these sleeves, they’re just too cute 🤭 if it uses around 200 grams of o hair, did you end up using the full 8 balls?

[@ebunnyrose]

I think I messed mine up somewhere, but we are just gonna keep going. The second one will turn out better anyways 😂😭🤌🏼

thank u for the tutorial! im so excited to do this one

of course ! hope you have fun making it :)

[@madeleinescott7048]

when you get to the second row of treble crochets on the sleeve, do you still go into every other stitch or do you do every stitch ? thank you xxx

[@madeinthemoment]

good question, every stitch :)

I so love this pattern! but for the life of me can't figure out how to get around the awkward right angle i'm getting on the sleeves despite decreasing!

[@sailorspice]

omgg my increases hve been so wonky cause the girl who taught me never mentioned to chain in between my double crochets 🤡 whoopsie now i know why i had to make my shirts twice as big to fit on my shoulders ;-;

[@zyrizia]

so if I can’t figure out the foundation chain, can I make a regular chain and then treble crochet along it??

[@emiliacolon5686]

Hi!!!!! The pattern is looking awesome so far but, when I got to the sleeves I started to wonder if I should have been turning my work after each row? I'm not changing colors. I've got one color going. Pleeeaseeee answer ! I can't wait to finish this bolero top!

[@madeinthemoment]

I don’t turn my work! I just chain up and keep going. It can work either way though!

[@mauramcfall9289]

I was sure you did turn your work in video...after granny rows maybe?

[@Khadija-sx1io]

hey!! i have a question am on the separating sleeves part but 10 chains is bit small but if i want to add more chains how many? and will it affect how the sleeves looks ? please answer !! + THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL IVE BEEN WANTING TO DO ONE OF THESE SM!!!

[@carolg3201]

I would recommend measuring your underarm area to learn your size, then add enough chains to each side (measure the missing width) to match/complete the full width.

[@Angelica-qk2mx]

Where do you buy this kind of yarn

[@madeinthemoment]

the yarn I used is listed in the description :)

[@nynke9415]

Hi! I don’t understand, when I’m doing the granny stitch, it sometimes does not line up in the increase corners, like I can’t skip 1 stitch because I have 2 stitches left before the increase in that case. Or my granny stitch would be in the stitch before the increase hole. How does this work?

[@nynke9415]

I did more than 50 stitches in the beginning by the way

[@madeinthemoment]

You can just skip 2 stitches in that case so the granny stitch ends up where it needs to be.

It depends on your hook and yarn size but I finished these in a little over a day! They're a fairly short project, shouldn't be more than a few days if you work on them for a few hours a day :)

this tutorial fucking sucks

[@fionaflorissax]

That’s seriously impressive for an absolute beginner! I’m coming back to crochet after a few years break, and I had to unpick my work several times due to mistakes while making this! 😵‍💫

[@DangerousTempest]

How much time do you think you put into it? I wish there was a resource that gave a realistic idea of how long different things take for a beginner; I know it couldn't be perfect or precise, but having an idea before jumping into something would be so so helpful

[@hannahofhorror]

This tutorial has been really cool so far. Only think I would mention is sometimes it would be helpful to know what it is supposed to look like at certain points. Since it’s not a fixed pattern, it requires a bit of guesswork to figure out what it is supposed to look like. So like describing/showing us where on your body it comes up to before you start separating the sleeves could be really helpful! X

[@madeinthemoment]

thanks for the feedback! I did do that in my other top down tutorial but that just slipped my mind in this one.

[@eviesmith168]

i’ve never been able to get the hang of a foundation stitch but something about the way you explained it just clicked for me, thank you so much for this tutorial! i can’t wait to finish this piece :)

[@madeinthemoment]

aw yay!! yeah it really is quite easy when you break it down and it has such a lovely look and stretch to it !

[@EliannedeJong]

Same! I wanted to skip the explanation of the foundation stitch and just chain and crochet a row. But then I saw your comment so I gave it a go and now I undertstand!

[@camilaalvarez5065]

this is the worst explanation of foundation chains I have ever seen. the yarn was not helpful either I have zero idea what hole your shoving your hook through. dislike button = HIT

[@thelazygrandpa]

What happens if the first row of granny clusters does not fall onto an increase stitch because that’s what happened to me. I had two stitches before the increase stitch and the stitch right next to it would have gotten a cluster if I followed the pattern. Do I just continue following the skip one pattern or do I skip both stitches in order to cluster into the increase stitch ?

[@madeinthemoment]

Good question! I would skip both so that the granny clusters go into the increase stitch!

[@dirigibleplumm5797]

Thank you so much for asking this question!! ive been going crazy redoing the double crochet increases trying to figure out why the granny stitch doesn’t land on the increase correctly

[@hannak5585]

I am still in progress, but I noticed that 200g is actually way too much (at least for size XS). I am making it in solid color and I got 4 50g skeins of mohair. I am double pulling from 2 skeins. Currently I am starting my sleeves and I still have 80-70 percent of each skein left. It really looks like I might get it done with 100g. I understand that if u want 3-4 colors you will need to purchase at least 3-4 skeins so this will add up to 200g. But for those making a solid color version I advise getting 100 g if you are S-XS

[@madeinthemoment]

yes thank you for this comment! I was judging based on the number of skeins I bought but didn't necessarily finish all of them. this is a very helpful note for those making it in a solid color 🥰

[@sarahmussle6061]

Hey, sorry to bother you- I was wondering if it would still look interesting in 1 solid color and not like you cant crochet and have „holes“🙈

[@tarussell94]

The back and front Center rows need to be an odd number for it to work otherwise it won’t be symmetrical

[@mauramcfall9289]

Aren't they 20 sts?

[@Fetafeta15]

I followed your instructions all the way, used mohair yarn and a 8mm crochet needle. Still, the sleeves are getting waaay to wide.. doesn’t look like your snug sleeves at all.. I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong 😩

[@noelanichi]

That is exactly what happened to me. Turns out, on the first go round of the sleeves, i was hdc into every stitch of the granny clusters instead of every other stitch. Also ended up doing treble crochets for my first several rows instead, and did 3 rows where I decreased at the corners to bring it in. Now mine fits great! Sometimes you gotta go off script depending on your tension and crocheting style!

[@makaylao1916]

as a beginner, the whole idea of using mohair stresses me out immensely... which is to say nothing of the sensory issues i have with it 😭

[@biancamesik3108]

hi, i'n trying this tutorial out rn abd i abosulutely love it but the increase with granny stitch is confusing me a bit...what should i do when there's no space free between the increase and the stitch before? should i still do the increase or do it in the stitch after? sry if this doesn't make sense😂

[@madeinthemoment]

Okay, the granny stitch increase should go into the increase space regardless of it you skip a stitch before it or not. So you could either skip 2 stitches between your last granny cluster and your increase space or you could just put 2 granny clusters next to each other. Let me know if that helps!

[@biancamesik3108]

@@madeinthemoment yeah thank you :) i did two granny clusters next to each other and it turned out well

Thank you for the tutorial! I’m a beginner wondering if I wanted to use acrylic yarn instead do I hold my yarn double at the beginner?(+ any changes I need to be aware of?)

[@madeinthemoment]

I would say if you're using a worsted weight/weight 4 acrylic yarn then you don't need to hold it double at the beginning! Other than that you might slightly need to change the number of rows you make but I've seen people make this with all kinds of yarns and they all look great!

[@beatrizdelgaudio9578]

Hiii can you someone explain me this? If I need more increase rolls after the one that she stopped, should I do more rolls of the granny stitch or should I continue increasing in the single stitch roll that she does next? english is not my first language so I hope u can understand what I meant hahahah thanks for the help :))

[@madeinthemoment]

Good question! I would recommend doing more increase rows of granny stitch first and then do the single crochet row as your last row. Hope that helps!

Hello:) I was wondering if each color should be 200g or should all of the colors in total be 200g? Sorry, I'm a bit confused😅

it should be around 200g for all the colors! although some people have said they did use less so it probably will depend on tension/if you are using your yarn double or not :)

[@avaai3616]

i have a question. while i was making the sleeves, they were getting biggier every row. i really dont know how to fix it. what do i do?:)

[@madeinthemoment]

Make sure you're not adding an extra stitch at the end of each row! You can figure it out by placing a stitch marker on the first stitch of the round and then making sure your last stitch of the next round goes into the marked stitch!

[@elinemarije2615]

I had the same problem! What happened was, at the end of every row when I did the slip stitch, I didn't pull it tight so when finishing the next row I would see this slip stitch as a regular stitch and crochet into it. That's how I kept adding stitches without noticing. Took me a while to figure out but maybe this helps!

[@sophieozard8141]

I want to use a yarn that changes colour and I'm guessing that doubling the yarn will mess up the gradient effect. Do you think this would work with a single strand of mohair yarn, or would you use a smaller hook? Thanks for the great tutorial :)

[@madeinthemoment]

It would work with a single strand! You can either size down your hook for tighter stitches or you can still use a bigger hook and just have looser stitches

[@jasbegoofy6228]

Hii i love your tutorial on this but my sleeves are very big compared to my arms and I think it’s because I added a bit more of the stitches for the armpits are there any way to make the sleeves smaller???

[@madeinthemoment]

I would just go back and chain less under the arms! If you don't want to go all the way back you can make some decreases right around the armpit area and that should bring the sleeve in too!

[@lenajung4915]

i feel like i’m doing something wrong 😢 every time it comes to the granny stitch and i have to skip one stitch i never ever hit the increase. i get the first but when i continue i don’t have a stitch between my last normal and the increase sticht to leave free and i don’t know what i’m doing wrong. is did. it with 70 stitches first bc i use a way smaller hook and cotton and then i thought maybe i counted wrong and tried it exactly like in the video with 50 stitches and it still doesn’t work 😢 anybody a tip?

[@harrietholt5146]

doing this with a thicker wool and a 6mm hook, the holes are a lot smaller do i need to use a bigger hook?

[@madeinthemoment]

I would size up several sizes from what the yarn recommends! For a thicker wool I would go up to at least a 10mm if you do want bigger holes.

[@vinregret]

Quick question, when you say to hold the yarn double, is that necessary for the project or is it just for that specific type of yarn?

[@babybumblebee9389]

i added 5 to the foundation row because i'm using a different yarn weight giving me 55 to start instead of 50, and 10% of that is 5.5. should i just count and mark 5 anyways (for the increases) or will that mess up my proportions? should i go back and add an extra foundation double crochet to make it even? i've been crocheting a few months but i 'm definitely still a beginner lol
