crochet bell sleeve tie front top / 70s, hippie, whimsigoth sweater

[@neamhcridhe6475]

i make doll clothes...and picked up some really cool thread that i instantly wanted to make a 70's themed top with, just like this. so thank you for such a simple pattern to follow.

[@seagreenblue4052]

Young Lady, you are teaching a 72 year old (70s person) how to crochet bell sleeves. I must do this. If it's nice I'll tag you. Thanks much 💖🌹

[@Vaultgirl27]

how is your progress? Im excited to see!

[@angiemugg5924]

that's sooo awesome.

[@CaatsGoMoooo]

heck yeah! ❤

[@AnjLearningThings]

This is beautiful! I have a fuller figure. Adding a side panel made of the same mesh stitch pattern helped with front panel bust coverage and width for the arm holes. Thank you for figuring out the design😊

oh thats soo smart, will definetly be doing that!

[@jacque9929]

hi!! im a brand new crocheter and im just wondering what you mean/how you did? i'm really struggling with arm width rn so any help would be appreciated

[@tanimaheshwari5310]

⁠​⁠@@jacque9929 I’m a very new crocheter too. What I did was make two rectangles where the height is from the bottom of the top to where I want the armhole to start & width is the distance between the front and back of the top when I put it on my body. Then connected the two sides of the rectangle to the front and back side by seaming them together. This creates space for the armhole! Sorry if the explanation is confusing & lemme know if you have any questions!

I LOVE this wrap top! I modified it a bit to fit my body better and decided to make long ties to wrap around my waist and tie in the front, and leave it without sleeves as a boho vest for this spring :) thank you for this fun tutorial!!

[@ravenbelote1801]

I love that your stitch markers are bobby pins... 😊 I've used bobby pins too, and also paper clips, and safety pins. They get the job done!😄

I did this in mohair yarn lord it almost killed me, but Lord, it's one of my favorite tops

[@kristinarodriguez5652]

fuck yes i have the perfect yarn for this. Adding to my long crochet wishlist 😂

[@MagdalenaTheremin]

Im done ;( I have no idea why when I chain 36 chains (that was the length if my shoulder) after I made double chrochets this length in my first row become much chorter. I don't get it it is so frustreting. I don't think you have added some chains to your foundation chain at the behining. Can you help me to figure out what I have done wrong?

[@marketarychtarikova1949]

It depends on the yarn, I always had to chain less because my panel came out so big. You should try to chain little more than your shoulder length (without stretching the chain, you might be stretching it when you put it against your shoulders and so you think you need only 36 but for the right width of the top there should be more) was this the issue?

[@jadeharley8640]

The measurements in the video are for a small/medium sized top and she did 56 chains for the foundation. If you're using a similar weight yarn and hook size, 36 chains is probably way too short in the first place. 😅 If that's not the issue, are you adding a chain between each DC? If you're skipping that step, it may make the length of your panel shorter.

[@minini5571]

Me too! Me too! I’m here for all the bell sleeve tops! ❤☮️✌🏼 Do I need an even # of chains to begin?🤔

[@khoi1108]

im currently making mine in teal, yellow, and hot pink to wear over my bikini top, hopefully it fits well !

[@eloisesomerfield6604]

Is it normal for the first row of mesh stitch to shrink the chain? Or should I add more stitches so it still reaches shoulder to shoulder?

[@AnnaliseK027]

i kept having to take breaks because i kept getting frustrated at my shaky hands😭 but i wanna try and reattempt this and see how much i can improve 😋

[@autisticburrito1056]

Thank you for the pattern, would appreciate it a lot if you could mention the dimensions of the panels in inches or cm doesn't matter. I attempted this piece i made the back panel but i have a feeling that its too small so i am too scared to continue with the rest

[@socorrespecial]

"shoulder to shoulder but a little bit smaller" isn't specific enough for me. I'm a petite size and I really need specifics to be able to do this.

[@ForSightandPlanet]

Thank you for uploading your idea for a top but your measurements are not accurate... It's very difficult to understand how to adjust sizing, I sadly gave up after making the back as it didn't appear to fit in the same way as the picture but good luck it your endeavours!!

[@sierrapeterson2409]

That is kind of the struggle when making crochet clothes, but part of it is applying your own measurements to the pattern. Of course her measurements won’t work on you exactly and the back panel can be adjusted by adding or subtracting chains from the beginning as well as adding or subtracting the number of rows. Most crochet clothes patterns will require some personal adjustments.

[@jadeharley8640]

​@@sierrapeterson2409​ Her measurements are very vague and make it harder to make the necessary adjustments in the first place. I don't think she even mentioned what size top her pattern will make; I only figured out it's small/medium after I tried to adjust several times, failed, and just remade it with the exact stitch lengths she used in the video. 😅

[@dimpleddork]

Thank you for posting this!! Was searching the comments and for "shoulder to shoulder" people say to measure arm pit to arm pit, not to the ENDS of your shoulders, hope this helps others!

[@kaylaa9042]

Just finished making this! I also added the scalloped edge all across the back of the top, so instead of cutting and reattaching the yarn i just continued around! And added a row of sc on the end of the sleeves and a scalloped edge on those as well. Such a fun project! I wish I had made the shoulder panels a bit wider, but I will on my next try!

[@angiemugg5924]

ohhh I'd love to see it!!

[@SweetPotato07]

I love the pattern but a little bit less from shoulder to shoulder didn't work for mine and it ended up too tight. I would recommend to measure from your back shoulder to shoulder and don't make it any shorter.

[@neamhcridhe6475]

it also depends on the type of yarn used and how tight or loose your tension is as to how wide to make it, but yes, always measure so that you have a baseline just in case. since i make doll clothes, i am always putting it on the doll as i go because most of my stuff i make is pattern-less.

any nearer definition on from shoulder to shoulder but a little less? like so that it fits nicely when stretched or do you have any clearer measurement?

@jadeharley8640 when the pit starts for me. going pit to pit, comfortably, like it's not stretching to reach pit to pit. I actually just finished everything but the sleeves and as I beginner I gotta say it looks pretty good! I hope this is helpful! sorry if not

This maybe a silly question but Im really just starting to branch out with my study of the craft but, when you say should to shoulder WHAT do you actually mean, like the VERY top of the shoulder AKA the highest point leading into the neck OR the WIDEST point actually going FROM shoulder to shoulder.
