[@LibertyGuerrero-lh2xz]

as someone whos made multiple boleros with different patterns i can easily say this is the best one!! not only is it super easy to follow and comprehensible, it makes way more sense than other patterns. love how everything flows seamlessly ☺️❤️

[@ivana1548]

Omg i would definetely want a part 2 with bell sleeves😭❤

[@HannahDrapinski]

will do!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@marijanuzdic2083]

​@@HannahDrapinski yayy pleeease do it!!!

[@activistwitch]

If it helps I managed bell sleeves by adding a ch1 between two stitches in every row, if it makes sense

[@Lemonadelo]

@@activistwitchdoesn’t She do that already?

[@activistwitch]

@@Lemonadelo she does it in the top to expand from the shoulders to the sleeves but doesn't in the sleeves but that same technique works for bell sleeves

[@saraioi12]

If you are plus sized or have chubbier arms, make sure to change how many rows you start making in the beginning! Instead of 10 I’m going to do 13 for a nicer fit

[@Gilax-ASMR]

Heyy, I'm not sure how to dc, do you have a video that you could recommend?

[@saraioi12]

@@Gilax-ASMR At around 1:20 on this video she starts doing some double crocheting (dc) yarn over, put hook into next stitch, yarn over again, pull hook through 2 loops, yarn over again, pull hook though the other 2 loops all the way through, and thats a dc (double crochet)! and this video is very clear and easy to follow for beginners too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2LamahsfNqVZ68si=ipRWUJqaKLIKaFeD hope this helps! :))

[@saraioi12]

@@Gilax-ASMR on my suggestion for the sleeve cuffs if your sleeves are too big, you basically do the same thing she’s doing in the video, but skip the part where you add a chain, and just go straight into the next double crochet stitch, with a double crochet

[@Gilax-ASMR]

@sarai5178 thank you so so much, this helped a lot!!♡♡

[@hollydawn07]

Thank you! I did 14 rows, and it was perfect. To offset it being bigger at the top of the arms, I started decreasing one stitch starting at round 12 of the sleeve, and every 3rd round after, just to keep the sleeve a little fitted. I might decrease more often than every 3 rounds once it’s closer to the wrist. I just did a regular double crochet decrease like this ❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnK7aqeYrc6igdEsi=-lMbJMHkxtTjMFLU

Almost finished sleeve 1! This is the best tutorial I’ve come across as someone that prefers a written pattern , so proud of myself for doing this as I give up normally with crocheted clothes that require sewing so thank you so much for this ❤

[@kiwiflowers9475]

I have looked at several videos and this is the ONLY video that let me achieve this… beautifully explained and I was able to execute this

[@HannahDrapinski]

ahhh yayy!! that makes me SO happy

[@kiwiflowers9475]

@@HannahDrapinski This video makes me SO happy!! I got so frustrated with other videos and gave up I still can’t believe I made this 😩 seriously had to subscribe after that; don’t stop being you pls 🩷

[@deecupine]

This pattern is awesome! But I definitely had to learn from my sizing mistakes and do some free-styling. I didn't make it wide enough in the beginning to reach past my armpits, so it wouldn't have fit if I started the sleeves. So after I made the base rectangle with the neck hole, I worked a few rows down the side to add width before connecting the sleeve. I added 2 additional normal rows of stitches. From there, I realized it might still not fit well around my shoulders, so I did 3 rows where I added an extra stitch. Those rows were like this: Regular DC+chain, DC+chain in the middle of the chain below, DC+chain in the actual stitch. This made 2 stitches where there usually is only one. I then worked across as normal until at the end of the row, where I mirrored the same thing, adding that extra stitch there too. I did this 3 times before connecting the sleeves. It added a very slight curve to the hemline of the garment at the armpit, giving it some more room for the shoulders and armpit so I can hold my arms normal. If I followed the pattern word for word, on my body, the shrug would have had to have had more rows and go down further. Consider this alternative before slip stitching your sleeve if you have a little more meat on your arms but you want the front to hit at the same spot as the pattern

[@quinnhumphreys1327]

so cute but your pattern is wayyyy too small for me- what size are you? i'm a large and had to add a ton of rows to make it fit around my arms. otherwise great pattern

[@schrubber98]

It can also be that for your yarn a bigger hook would have been good! When you notice you need too many rows try upsizing the hook, it really helps with reducing yarn usage and stitches needed ♥️

[@aflorandoatelie]

I wanna tryyy it!! So cute and easy ❤ Loved, thanks for the tutorial :)

[@syrenwellz7493]

I had to frog my whole project once i got to the slip stitch for the arm holes, it was too tight under the arms. I think I'm gonna double the original chain and see if that keeps it baggy enough to not be restrictive. Learning process!

[@missbcrafty5283]

I just made one of these using your video. Thank you!

[@TheEmoOne]

8:20 to make this easier just count the number of double crochets of the previous row and double that number ❤

This looks perfect! I'm heading out for a weekend at a cabin with some friends and it's still going to be chilly in the evenings. My question is this, I have a beautiful variegated yarn similar to what you used by I want my color changes to run long ways vs how you did the sleeves of yours, if that makes sense 😊 I wonder if you have any tips on how I might achieve that. I know I could just start with the length of my arms, like finger tip to finger tip and just work on it factoring in the neck opening when the time comes but I'm wondering if you've ever done one like that and if you have any tips. I really want my stripes to go long ways of it's possible 😊

[@jeannettgarcia4856]

Thank you , beautiful work I was looking how to make an arm sleeves I think I got it I will try it ❤

[@Jules-740]

Also which yarn did you use for the black and white one? I like how that one looks better it seems like it has a little more slack or relaxed fabric than the green one. And I like blk and white /grey better too.

I experiment with the bottom top. I used a different crocheting that it would be like a belt at the bottom & white this shrug pattern as I work up the shoulder. I'm just frustrated rn bc i been doing back and forth. & I haven't found a video with the style I'm describing here 😂 & I just started 3 days ago, it's going well...I just don't know what I want to do bc I want to make everyday asap 😅

[@stephaniesimpson1523]

Helloooo Hannah, I’m really enjoying your channel and there are several garments I want to make, especially the Bloomers. However I have a dilemma, my friend made this shrug and she is a beginner. She had no idea how she made the sleeves bell at the end. I’m going to try and send you a picture of what it looks like. It won’t let me copy and paste it. Soo I’ll try to explain… it’s worked as a shrug with trebles and the sleeves start out narrow and as you go past the elbow maybe three or four rows under it starts to bell closes to the wrist. I hope I explained it well, but if you could help me in giving me an idea of how to get that affect or you doing a tutorial on it I’d greatly appreciate it. I may be able to email a picture of it.
