Would LOVE a pattern for this top! 10/10 would purchase. I dont think it needs to be reversible because the front being the v is so nice and i feel like it would be more friendly to larger chests too if it wasnt. Hope you do a tester call for it!

I’m a beginner designer and this video was incredibly helpful!! I would like to know how you get your patterns to fit multiple body types if you can!! Your designs are so beautiful!!

[@starcrossedknits]

thanks so much!! i'd love to make a video on that topic one day, but i'm also still learning more myself so it's hard to feel confident enough yet! maybe i can start off with a video about bust adjustments first to ease in :)

I always get excited when you post a video 💕The red looks gorgeous on you and I love the design! I definitely think you should keep the look you have now instead of adding buttons. While being reversible is a cool feature, I don't think it's worth having the buttons detract from the beautiful 'V' strap.

🥺💗 that's so nice of you to say omg. Thank you so much for weighing on on where to go with the design from here!! I have a feeling you're right

[@SarahJo]

I hope you come out with this as a pattern! Personally I don't care if things are reversable, and would just want the cool detail of the strap going through the hole in the front to stay

[@starcrossedknits]

i agree, that's def the coolest part i think! tbh this top didn't end up getting that much interest so i sorta dropped it, but maybe i will next spring! i have some other ideas for tops that pass through like this, i'm really into that detail!

[@SarahJo]

@@starcrossedknits that's unfortunate, because it's super cute! Fingers crossed for the future!

[@VioletGreen-v5s]

Can I buy the pattern somewhere?? This video is amazing! so interesting to see how to design something from scratch! I have few my own top ideas but I'm begginer in knitting and don't know techniques enough I feel, like how to predict how many decreases to do and on each rows to get shape I want (trapeze in this case) but I also have in plan some cutouts above the neckline etc :)

[@starcrossedknits]

@@VioletGreen-v5s sorry no i never made a pattern for it!! this video wasn’t that popular for whatever reason so i havent done many more looks into designing but maybe something i’ll revisit again in the future!
