[@DarianaOrtizm]

I'm an XL so if this is helpful for someone: at the beginning I chained 96, the neck was 6x8 clusters and the four corners, and the shoulder/chest part was 10 rows. For the sleeves I did 33 rows. I used almost 600gr of bulky yarn.

[@badluckbree5364]

By 6x8, do you mean rather than the 4/6 groups of clusters?

[@DarianaOrtizm]

@@badluckbree5364 yeah, exactly!

[@grasshopper8984]

The ch 72 barely fit over my head so I went to the comments looking for answers and was incredibly grateful to see this, tysm

I am about to make one for my friend who is a L so I'm grateful I saw this!! Thank you!

[@plaupacelms7286]

Quick math for anyone who did a bigger size. If you did 72 then it’s 4x6. If you do 84 then it’s 5x7. If you do 96 then it’s 6x8. If you do 108 then its 7x9. I did 120 and it is 8x10. Hope this helps

[@wynnexiesoria4968]

THANK YOU!! YOU ARE MY SAVIOUR ❤👑

[@maybeitsmadi]

Holy crap I just spent like 10 confusing minutes with my mother figuring out this math, I’m so bummed I didn’t see this before.

[@elsyegoigwe]

I don’t understand

[@maybeitsmadi]

@@elsyegoigwe What's not to understand? Also, why bother commenting?

[@plaupacelms7286]

@@elsyegoigwe Depending on what type of material you use and the hook, 72 chains can be too small for your neck, or to even go over your head like it was for me. So if 72 stiches fit you , the first and main pattern is 4 clusters on opposate sides and 6 clusters on the rest , so 4 clusters, 6 then 4 then 6 and you move on to the next row. I figured that everything goes by 12, If you need just a little bigger then the next size is 84 chains and then again 5 clusters then 7 then 5 then 7 again and so on. I hope you understand, it is a bit hard to explain. If the 72 chains fit you, then go by everything the video says, other than that count 12 more chains and an extra cluster for every 12 chains till you are satisfied!

[@TheChelsealynn]

Honestly super impressed it was so easy to convert the size myself! If the comments for XL are still too small I think xxl would be 120 chains and 2 clusters of 8 and 2 clusters of 10 🥰

[@SherryShone]

Thank you for the adjustments. I'm a 2xl and beginning this journey. I'm super excited

[@maureen982]

I LOVE your teaching style! I have crocheted for 63 years, I like to look on KZbin for new patterns and sometimes get soooo frustrated bc some other videos go over the “basic stitches” 3 or 4 times (I’ll show you again and again in slow motion) I try to skip forward but either not far enough or too far. Sometimes the videos are 40 minutes bc they keep talking about various things as you watch them crochet. I don’t like to leave negative comments so I say nothing, but I WANT to say, “most ppl looking at you want to know the pattern, have a different video to TEACH single crochet, or any other stitch!”. You are great in your method, you are soft spoken and don’t talk about walking your dog in the park this morning or any other non related info. I have subscribed to your channel for this reason. Thank you!

[@SayaKisaragi18]

I used your count for chains and did six rows in the top. Now I'm working on sleeves. But I'm a bit busty and thinking i will add more rows to bring it down over my chest more. I might add cuffs to sleeves. But so far your suggestion on 96 chains was very helpful!

Working on my third shrug. I love how simple it is to follow. Thank you 😊

[@SalamanderTheCat]

I made one for my mother because she needed something to keep her shoulder and upper arms warm. She liked it a lot.

[@turntechgodbeheaded]

If you're like me, you may have to increase the number of initial stitches: i'm a medium in most tops but I have wide shoulders, so I increased to **150** chains, and marked the armpits with stitch markers (so in 4 places). I think as long as you have a multiple of 3, (that also ends in 5 or 0? not sure) you should be okay.

[@emjem38]

how many clusters in between each corner did you do if u have to change that at all? i’m new to crochet and can’t do all the maths yet hahah

[@karinkawano8682]

@@emjem38 each cluster uses 3 chains, so 150 - 12 chains (which you'll need for the corners) = 138 chains, which divided by 3 leaves us with 46 clusters to work in total (both length and width). however, it doesn't follow the creator's proportions for each side, because using 12 in length and 10 in width = 44 clusters, while 13 in length and 11 in width = 48, so i would recommend using either 144 chains or 156 chains if you want to keep it that way. that's the math i did for my adjustments at least :')

Does that make the neck like way to big? I'm a size 3x,.does that make it an off the shoulder piece?

[@GrandmaBooTTV]

Thanks so much for this! I'm a 3x and chaining 72 was perfect for me. I changed the pattern a bit by continuing to crochet to make a much longer length and shortening the sleeves. I also added ribbing to make cuffs for the sleeves and for the hem. I have never ever made something that fit me as perfectly as this does and I have you to thank. Much Love!

[@sarahferguson0]

I have watched a ton of these tutorials because i really want to try one. I think yours is the most precise instructions, for me anyway 🙂 One of the things i really like about this one is that you can customize the sleeve length. I think it would be adorable with little cap sleeves for the summer months.

[@craftylynx]

Made this with short sleeves for the summer and I am in love ❤️

[@sarah607chang]

Thank you for every one’s different sizes and yarn

[@StephanieSharp2]

Thanks for sharing. This is the best tutorial for this kind of sleeve shrug. I prefer raglan constructions because they provide a better fit. All the other tutorials I’ve seen for the crochet fishnet sleeve shrug have been doing the back and chaining for the neck hole and continuing on the front, then joining for the sleeves, not as neat a construction as the raglan method, and you’re not actually increasing along the body, like you do in the raglan method.

Thank you! I love mine so much! I made mine with bell-sleeves

[@gelo14]

help i wanted to do the same. how did u do the bell sleeves?

[@tinyrockcrochet]

@gelo14 GIRL YES. Let me get my measurements. I did 38 rows in total for my sleeves to reach my wrists. At row 26, I laid it flat and marked where the under-most side of the arm would be on both arms. Then, I increased by one extra cluster in that space. Every other cluster is normal. Row 27, same thing. In that space made by the two-cluster increase, do another two-cluster increase. Now, this is when it got tricky for me to figure out. Took a lot of trial and error, lol. Row 28, I did another increase, but to the right of row 27's increase. Otherwise, it looks like your arm is a ridiculously geometrical shape. Then I did row 29- 33 as normal with one cluster in each space. Row 34, I stuck another increase to where would be the left of row 27 and 28th's increase, just several rows up so its not so triangular and noticeable. I hope this made sense, and I hope this helped💕💕💕💕💕

[@gelo14]

@@tinyrockcrochet thank u so much! ill try this!

[@Pizzapieeye]

Hiya! A helpful tip for those having to adjust the count due to size of yarn, also personal body measurements! I am a plus size girly and I’m using a small sized yarn. I did a simple count of 120 chains. Just enough for my hard to get through. I’m also bad at math. Here is what I did figure out though. With an initial 120 chains i did: 120 dived by 3 = 40 This lets you know the number of spaces you will be putting your clusters in. Here is where you have to remember the CORNER clusters. You will be putting them in the same loop. So with my initial 40 spaces with 120 chains, I would think to do 7 clusters in length, 13 in width. (This is where I messed up. Cause that makes 40 right? Well actually I had to make it 14x8 not 13x7. Cause you have to take into account the corners. So I basically did 120➗ 3 + 4 That’s told me what exact number of clusters I needed to make So divided you chain number by 3 than add for to that. Then decide what you want your spacing to be. Sorry if that’s confusing I am far from any kind of genius lol
