[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

Thank you so much, Terri! 💞

[@stephaneaboyce9095]

❤ I just found your video and for as long as I've been crocheting I was never able to figure out the shell stitch. I'm giving this a shot to see what yarns I can use up out of my scrap yarns. Thank you doing this video in a away that I van understand being I'm left handed and usually have trouble following patterns.

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

I'm so glad to hear my tutorial is understandable for you. Thank you!

[@TheButterflyChaos]

This is exactly what I was looking for 😮except I want to make three colours, think it will look very neat.

[@wendycampbell8049]

Very beautiful. Love the color

[@cathyshelby351]

I just discovered your channel and I love how easy this cotton top looks to crochet. I haven’t attempted to make any tops at all because they looked so hard to do. I am really a newbie at crocheting, but thus little top looks so easy to make. I will probably try and make it for my daughter or granddaughter. Thanks for showing each step you crocheted because if you aren’t familiar with a pattern it is hard to know if the stitch is the right way or not . Thanks again and have a good day

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

Thank you so much, Cathy! I'm so happy to hear the tutorial is easy to understand.

[@dianagarms6879]

Hi Darla. Thanks for the wonderful videos. I enjoyed crocheting a top and dresses for my daughter and grand daughter under your guidance. I request you to send me more videos of summer tops (smaller size) bust size 34. I am new to crocheting so if you could guide me with simple designs would appreciate it. Thank you once again.

[@RahulMenon-m6d]

How many basic chain (stitches) for small size. How many meters of yarn is required for small size

[@dragonkat1868]

Ooh I love this one it's going on my to do list 🙂.

[@biljanabonner3158]

Hi Darla, I made this top and I love it! ❤

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

Wonderful! Thank you! 💖

[@oodlesacaboodles]

Very cute top.

[@angelessanchez6195]

For XL how many stitches for the starting chain.?

[@triciaquan9630]

I love that!!

[@auntiedookdook]

30:10 Hi Darla, my question here is did you make two or three rows less in the front panel (I tried guessing, but I just wanted to confirm what you did for your lovely lavender colored top) Thank you for this, I love how it looks!

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

Hi! I took a look at my top & I think I made 3 rows less. Thank you so much!

[@creationcrochetnanny8675]

Beautiful

[@RadhaKothavale]

How many crochet chain for medium pls

[@n3mutta]

Hi Darla I came across this video and I really love the pattern and thank god it’s in large size. I was just wondering did I miss you saying how many rows till you get to the neck opening?

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

Hi! Thank you! I don't think I did because you can make it any length you want, but I did quickly count the rows just now & I made about 35 - 36 rows, but you can make it as long as you want. I hope this helps.

[@n3mutta]

@@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla thank you so much yes it helps because it just gives me a guideline. Love your channel by the way.

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

I'm glad it helped. Thank you so much! ❤

[@LoBabin]

Hi Darla. Exactly the kind of pattern I was looking for. Though I have 2 questions: if you have a multiple of 6 plus 2. How do you get to 31st? No2. Could I do the opposite if I want the fans to go up on the front instead? Meaning beginning by the front ?

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

Hi! 1. When you made your sc row at the beginning you'll have 1 less stitch then the number of chains you made. As an example, if you chain 6 + 6 + 2 which equals 14 & then make the single crochet row, you'll have 13 single crochets because you started your sc in the 2nd chain from the hook. 2. You sure can! I hope this helps!

[@LoBabin]

@@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla Ohh thank you for the answer! I crochet only since 3 years now... so Still a baby crocheter lolll You dont do classes? if you come to Montreal, let me know ;)

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

@@LoBabin No, I don't do classes. I've actually never been to Montreal.

[@sueedd1]

Hi Darla! How many rows or what length was yours when you started on the neckline please. I think the size I require is about the same as you

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

Hi Sue! About 34 rows.

[@Chrissycrochets]

Do the shells go in the same direction as for the front. It seems the go in a different direction. I guess it isn't noticeable only if yarn has a shine to it.

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

No, they'll go in a different direction because the top is made in one piece.

[@PrachiSharma-hj1sn]

Thank u dear ❤️

[@angeliachong1266]

What r the. Measure ment we need? 1. Neckline 2. Bust round 3. Sleeve round

[@soniaavakian9622]

How many stitches I need to cast on?

[@Frenchiesfiberfiles]

Nice ❤

[@pamelamorrison3458]

Darla do you have a written pattern for this top

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

I'm sorry, I don't.

[@rosiee.1372]

I don't do Facebook or Instagram. So, where are the crochet figures for all the other sizes?

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

At the beginning of the video I explain how to custom make it to fit you. Thanks, Rosie!

[@rosiee.1372]

Are you talking about crocheting a line of stitches that is equal to (in inches), whatever the bust line measurement is (in inches)? Is this what you're explaining? (please keep in mind I'm a pretty new crocheter and simply don't know it all, just yet)

[@rosiee.1372]

I read through some of the below questions and answers and am starting to get an idea of how to size this for my body. I'm just now beginning to understand how the bust measurement is determined, so, I'll get back with you IF (no, when!) I have any questions about the sleeve size......lol.....

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

Yes, measure across the biggest part of you, may it be your bust or your hips, etc. I hope this helps 🙂

[@sivanitaguvaag2183]

This is gorgeous

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

Since you're going to custom size it to fit your body you need to make a chain that will fit where I show in the video at time stamp 0:10. Make a chain & put it up to you & if it's not long enough, add more chains, or too long, take some chains away, just make sure your multiples are correct. I hope this helps!

[@sivanitaguvaag2183]

@@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla Thank you so much

[@nanettejaynes1368]

What brand yarn

[@sunshiine0827]

Premier cotton sprout

[@dragonbcrochet445]

Goodness another pattern to add to the list. When do you sleep?

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

😆 I actually get a descent amount of sleep 💕

[@karenforte5674]

I use to use safety pins until my yarn got caught in the head of the pin and ripped trying to get it out of the head.

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

Oh no!

[@itsBellaBleck]

Written pattern please?

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

I'm sorry, I don't have one.

[@itsBellaBleck]

Is it one always the same row? 3chains shell stitch und single stitch at the end of the row shell and then?3chains and a single chain? I don’t get it so easily 😥

[@shaimayoussri6723]

I don't understand You started with 78 chains, so you are supposed to have 13 shells Why do you have only 5 shells at the beginning?

[@giuliana4247]

How 80 chanes become 31 ?

[@kuivienen1]

The 31 was a sample size for the tutorial
