Your videos are fantastic; it is you and your videos that have taught me how to crochet- other people had tried but unsuccessfully. Thank you!!

[@rosewaddell6771]

I LOVE your Tutorials. You have taught me so much. You are so easy to follow and yougive the best verbal Description of what you are doing, right down to what mistakes you could make, and how to fix it. Thank You. From Lebanon, TN. to you Down Under, THANK YOU

[@carolegordon9214]

You are my fav crochet person on KZbin. I'm learning to crochet in memory of my late Nana who died a few weeks back. She never got to teach me to crochet, nor taught my mother...so no one to learn from! I find your tutorials really easy to follow. Thanks for all the fun patterns you put up for us, they are great!

[@fnafxedits672]

I love your tutorials they are so enlightening and easy to make.Please continue to make more tutorials.

[@yungenuf2nobetr]

The way you speak,minus the accent reminds me so much of my own mum. She's been gone for quite some time now~to hear the way you speak is very comforting. I'm known as nanakimmie on ralvery and to all my grandchildren. Thank you so much for the time you put into sharing with all of us. And thank you for a little nostalgia for myself.

[@GeriSqueaksUp]

You're so awesome! I mean you're just a genius! I don't know how you come up with all of this stuff but you just do. You're extremely talented and gifted. I love you're tutorials and you really are a gift from God! You were born to do this:)

[@cruellaclo]

Thank you thank you thank you for teaching me so much. I can follow your directions and video's so well. You are awesome. I am going to try this project as soon as I finish a blanket my daughter wants... again I heart YOU!!!

[@craftinggal]

Oh my gosh I think this is so cute. I will make it and I think make some for gifts too. Thanks so much for posting.

[@steamriceroll]

I like projects like this, it is easy for beginners like me.

[@carmenhamilton7179]

I love that you make mistakes (that you're human lol) because you show us how it looks when it's wrong and then how to correct it. Please continue to do this if it's convenient for you. I've been watching your videos for a long time now and I can't thank you enough for teaching the world to crochet.

[@awyarekondoya]

I am about halfway through making this... but I have clickitus and find myself watching all your other tutorials too. Your tutorials are my favourites. Love your work... keep it coming!!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you !!! Sorry to hear about your Nana :( I bet she is looking down on you very proud for learning to crochet

[@irma8326]

Thanks for all your tutorials. Everything you make looks great. :)

[@Beadyreader]

Wonderful, clear instructions. Thanks so much!

[@kathydaniello8420]

Hi, Just wanted to let you know that I made this a couple years ago in royal blue and wore it over my swim suit to and from swimming pools until I put my suit away that fall. I had a physical setback early this year. Doctor prescribed water aerobics to aid my recovery and I'm wearing this again. Every woman in my water aerobics class loves it and has asked where I got it. Moms with kids in tow have stopped me in the parking lot to comment and ask questions about it. I tell everyone about your tutorials and how real and wonderful you are. Also, I carry my towels, water shoes, etc., in the Granny Square Bottom Bag, based on another of your tutorials. It's perfect for carrying everything I need to and from the car. I love how it lays open on a bench in the dressing/shower area at the pool and is so easy to fill and pick up. Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials and fantastic ideas. Keep them coming. Best wishes, Kathy

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@missyt3017]

I have recently caught the crochet bug but have been a novice at best. Last week I attempted a poncho and was very happy with the end result. I came across your tutorial for the mesh summer top and am having heaps of fun at the moment. Your instructions was clear and to the point. I am more then half way through my my top and hope to finish it by tomorrow night. Thanks for sharing, I will certainly follow you from this point forward.

[@teresasalinas3909]

this is my first piece of wearable crochet project. Thank you so much. Can't wait to get more projects for your web page.

[@emma13583]

[@NixEbersoleVillarubin]

thank you for this...i really love this mesh top. i'm a breastfeeding mom but i really hate using nursing covers because our weather is hotter this time of the year so i'd prefer to wear this when i go out and with my baby.

[@MiszMaciel1]

I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful and easy pattern. I have been all over You tube looking for a nice summer top to crochet. and most were either complicated or frustrating to do But you take all the frustration out of doing this top. And what a great tutorial. I have made the rainbow shawl with you help in the past and it turned out beautiful. Thank you so much for your help. I also subscribed as well. Look forward to more of your videos..

[@aliciabarlow179]

i am crazy about this top more please.....

[@healingv1sion]

I'm going to start on this tomorrow. I have a skein of brown yarn that fades from dark brown to tan so it's going to be all over place with color! I'm thinking of adding a picot edging or small scallops but I'll see how I feel when I get to the end of the project! Thanks for the videos everything is so easily explained!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi Emma, I noticed you are in the UK , I used 10ply / aran wieght cotton yarn so if its about that thickness it would be fine :)

[@joyace9674]

[@annyaus5609]

Claire, this is just wonderful! I just was looking for something like this!

[@josephinevyeda4540]

Thank you for sharing this cool design, i made it and it turned out so nice, I'm going to make another! getting my spring summer wardrobe ready :)

[@auraligiabarbettivalencia7966]

gracias , Dios los bendiga por todo lo que nos permitas aprender, mil y mil bendiciones

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes, as i dont think the yarn will shrink enough to go over your belly :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, get your measurement, then fold your tape measure in half, then make your chain the length of your folded in half tape hope this helps

[@DebbyRicami]

Mi piace molto, brava!

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you ! My goal has been achieved :)

[@stargazer5114]

I love this so much

[@CrochetwithClare]

You are very welcome, thank you for watching

[@20022001eys]

I dont speak english very well but I want to say I love chochet, tnahkyou very much

[@petz1235]

so easy that even I can understand - I get confused very easy :-)!! thank you

[@Xristina3999]

Thanks. I will make it soon. By the way, your hand skin is very freshly. I like it.

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi there, I have not got a video for that, but if you do a gauge square for the yarn you are using and then measure it it wil let you know if you are loose or tight There should be gauge videos on youtube to help you if you are not sure how to do it Hope this helps you

[@katgagenproductions]

Awesome, glad I came across your tutorials there clear to understand, and I have been trying to look in books and can never really understand with the abbreviations they use. This will be my first time as a beginner trying this so am looking forward to trying it out. I will definitely be subscribing to your channel :)

[@artet64]

SO. CUTE.

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI ! SOrry about the slow reply, I would take out 2 inches of your work, it really depends on how baggy you want your finished item :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, I think it could be possible, you could try using the stich pattern from the shirt and try it around the opening on the armhole thank you for watching :)

[@hollieamblin8002]

Definatley going to make this! Unfortunatley i dont have a tape measure so ive got to go out and get one so i can get started :D

[@inezthiem8769]

that will be my next project, after I'm done making a crochet grocery bag.

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there Yes I think so :) Sorry for the slow reply, I have been sick for 3 weeks

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there Measure your self around the biggest section :) add 6-10 inches (depending on how baggy you like it) fold tape measure in half Make a chain that is as long as the tape when it it folded in half So if the measurement is 54 inches + 6 = 60..... half of 60 is 30, make chain 30 inches Hope this helps you and thank you so much for watching me video Clare

[@evandahdah5069]

Thank you! I guess you got my e-mail about my obsession with finding a top pattern! I am under my son's account --cant figure out how to get my own back on this computer! Very happy and anxious to try this!

[@CrochetwithClare]

hmmm good question.... So you are thinking of offsetting each row so you get a checkerboard effect instead of all the squares lining up? I think it may work making sure you always start with a treble and end with a treble...that way you have something to join the seams . Maybe work up a really small sample to see what happens ?

[@Jazzyrosie3]

so pretty..

[@mikaylabacskay3080]

OMG love this so much! Subscribed :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there I have only seen super saver, so I am sorry but I couldn't give you much advice I have had ladies make it in Caron One Pound in Persimmon and it look really nice !

[@CrochetwithClare]

22 plus 10 You are making the frond of the shirt first, so you need to make half the measurement :)

[@haifawali1101]

Waaaw sooo beuteful

[@craftymom7]

Love this. Very cute, thank you, :)

[@genfisher2456]

finally a decent crochet channel! thank you, my serch is over! I love the pattern and very detailed videos, subscribing straight away. ;-) :-D

[@CrochetwithClare]

THank you so much !

[@rosepedal05]

lovely dear thank you vicky

[@asadchandio4295]

it's my hobby 🎩 😁 👕👍Great! 👖 I like it

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, I am working on getting a written pattern done :)

[@colette2345]

I think I'm going to make this. It looks like the stitch pattern is begin with 2dtr then *4dtr skip 3 ch3 * repeated across then end with 2dtr in last 2 stitches. If that helps anyone. (American crocheting terminology uses the dtr to describe this stitch.) Just take your measurements, draw a picture of the shape of the tunic, then chain to the measurements. Work even until you get to the armholes. Decrease for armholes and work up to the top.

[@CrochetwithClare]

You can find my written patterns here on my website. www.bobwilson123.org/

[@maqsizu]

Thanks friend.

[@karenlara9739]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy i found part 1...lol

[@joannaalvarez6299]

Hi, can you do a tutorial on how to crochet a Monokini ? I enjoy crocheting along with you :)

[@harpin569]

Never mind. LOL......I was having issues with my internet and I thought it was the video, Sorry. I was trying to watch your videos and it would act like it was loading and then it went to a blank screen. Anyway, watched it and love it. Will try some time soon. Thanks for your help. :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes it is half of your measurement

[@happilyapeterman]

i finished mine today. :)

[@lillievernon7493]

I always use the cc whenever I watch these videos because I am hard of hearing but whom ever is in charge of the cc should take a look at what is actually being typed. I just saw the worse one ever that said, ''don't kill the one that is going to f.....you fill in the other three letters. Something needs to be done. Most of the time the things that's typed has nothing to do with crocheting at all so I have to try and figure it out for myself. I love this site so please do something so that others that have a hearing problem can enjoy it as well.

[@shebrat2005]

Oh my! I turned on CC so I could see what you were talking about... it is REALLY bad! It's like the person who typed doesn't speak English very well and, then to amuse themselves, they add in curse words! I am really shocked. Other than that, this is my first time to watch a crochet video from bobwilson123 and I am very pleased. I am definitely going to bookmark this and watch more of these videos.

[@lillievernon7493]

Exactly!

[@stormyyoung1]

Thank you. You do get any swimsuit or shorts patterns I would love to see some tutorials on them. Also, if I was able to send you a pattern, could you do a tutorial on it? I seem to learn the pattern better when I watch it being made. I have some old patterns of my mother's and grandmother's that do not have pictures available for them.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yeah me too !! I got it at a shop and its not actually crochet :(

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there, they call this American 4ply worsted weight yarn/cotton Hope this helps you, Thank you for watching

[@joanmathewson1953]

Crochet thread doesn't shrink when washed but like most things crochet it needs shaping or blocking ty

[@jaxxi9]

If anyone has an Ollie's near them, I picked up LionBrand Jiffy bulky for $2.59 a skein to make this project. It is acrylic, but fluffy and light and soft.
