Off the Shoulder Crochet top GUIDE *any size

[@laurelgirard8475]

The top is very pretty. I’ve been looking for a top to make for my sister, not to plain, but not too fancy. This is perfect. She is petite, so I will have to find out the length to use. A nice cotton blend would be pretty in olive or a purple. Thank you! I’ve commented on several channels that their work is lovely, but I’m disabled and more or less homebound. I need something pretty but practical. You hit the nail on the head.

[@madebycoral]

Thank you for writing such a lovely comment. Pretty but practical is what I’m aiming for❤️❤️

[@almahansen5713]

Thank you so Much for the pattern! It’s my first raglan and I found it so easy because of your explanation. It’s gorgeous❤

[@bella-pr7yj]

i absolutely cannot say enough good things about your channel, patterns, and projects! they are so practical and user friendly, not to mention creative! while the typical crochet bralette is cute.. it’s really overdone and not practical for everyday wear for myself at least. i love that you design cute WEARABLE projects. so grateful for the time and energy you put into these videos and i hope you continue to grow your channel 💗

[@madebycoral]

This comment was so lovely to read, making wearable clothes is exactly what I’m going for! Thank you so much for the support💗💗💗

hey just wanted to let you know i have been SEARCHING AND SEARCHING for a pattern like this. thank you SO SO SO much for such a wonderful tutorial((: ❤️❤️

[@madebycoral]

thank you for taking the time to write this comment, notes like this really make my day:))

[@laurelgirard8475]

The yarn is so yummy like sherbert!

[@marykeating3767]

almost done with mine, i made it out of a really pretty highland wool. thanks for this!! super excited to see your future designs!

[@roxana9485]

Hey, this is a superb tutorial! Did it perfectly on my second try, with the first one i messed up where i dtart the new row and it looked really wonky. But i was wondering how a long sleeved version would look. Do i just later on add the yarn at the side of the arm and keep doing rows until its finished or is there a different method? Thanks a lot ❤

[@flannel3315]

I love this too. Based on my arms I would like to also know how to make a sleeve version. Hopefully you will add a modified version. Thank you in advance

[@RaqueliaRamlogan]

This was so easy to follow! Thanks!

[@madebycoral]

Glad to hear💗

[@sophiecooper]

help! i feel so stupid but i can't figure out the chain ties at the end, yours are so pretty and i can't get mine to look like it!

[@jillianblohm998]

Im confused on how she attached hers

[@-.sxge.-1625]

I just made this top and I really love it 💗 would it be ok for me to sell my own versions of this?

[@magdakool]

This top is beautiful!!!

[@madisonharris9179]

I love your work and I'm happy you put out a tutorial on this top 🥰 it came out so well🤗🤗💖

[@madebycoral]

Thank you for your support🫶🫶

[@LionandLamb316]

Very well done young lady bravo, you may be able to sell that pattern to a yarn company or a magazine. Very nice professionally made even the choice of yarn you made yours in the green Very good choice.

[@madebycoral]

Thank you☺️

[@suchi.3505]

hi coral!! i wanted to make this top but im not sure how much yarn i would need. do you think 200g is enough for xs-s? thank you so much, this tutorial is so helpful and the top is super cute!!

[@francinedinapoli7794]

Great top love the color.

[@niyatishah8686]

this is stunning! how many yards of yarn do we need?

[@madebycoral]

I used 480 yards for the pink one and around 300 for the green!

[@chickengirlslyrics]

is it possible to make it have maybe 4 rows instead of 6 in the beginning so that the granny square is higher up?

[@laurabillow6031]

Not me thinking oh I need to measure the chain for the sleeves to my arms not under my armpit down I made it probably 3x my size 😂 had to frog it all the way up to that point after almost finishing 😅

[@gloriadelgado7915]

Hi, I was watching your video and would like to make this Sage top as my ever first project. I listen to your instruction on how to divide the stitches for the front neckline, both sleeves and the back neckline. My question is: thus this procedure applies to all sizes when dividing all the stitches for the neckline, both sleeves and back neckline? As long I will chain in a multiple of 6? I am looking forward to hearing from you. I am excited to make my first project this year. The last time I made a sleeves crochet top was many years ago as my school project during my High School days. Thank you very much in advance for sharing your ideas and techniques on how to make this Sage Top. I am excited and can not wait to make this top.

[@madebycoral]

So happy you’re making this top as your first project🤭 Yes, as long as you chain in a multiple of 6 you should be able to follow the rest of the directions to make the top to your sizing! Let me know if you have any more questions:)

[@Liza.aaaa14]

This is so amazing!! Do you thing your Delilah top or the sage is harder to make?

[@madebycoral]

definitely the Delilah top! This one can be super super easy if you make it without the granny square!

[@elifernandes9168]

Linda❤ amei

[@lunaevans3562]

i’ve been trying to make this for like 3 days, have started over 4 times, bc i didn’t realize you were using thinner yarn and none of the comments mentioned it either. i tried to use the same sizing as in the video and ended up making the chain 96 and it’s still too big 😭

[@phoebecraddock2536]

Is the back shorter in terms of less stitches than the front. Just wondering because you said place a stitch marker on the 21st then count 40. Then 20 again.

[@madebycoral]

correct! in my experience this helps the top stay up better but still have a wider neckline. Because it's crochet the top is going to be stiffer then if it were knit, so this accounts for that.

[@Madiiiiiiiii316]

I tried to do this but for some reason the back of my raglan is all loose and not fitting I made sure the stitches were correct and the front and back are the same but the back is all loose and looks weird how do I fix this

[@noramaqsood3963]

love this top!! how would you adjust the pattern to make the sleeves a little longer like half sleeves?

[@madebycoral]

You can try crochet along the top of the arm hole, slip stitching at the arm pit!

[@user-su1dc4jy2c]

Would this be possible to do with a high neck following the same pattern down to the sleeves ?

[@Noomskol1234]

Can I still decrease if I choose not to add the granny square detail? This is my first crochet project

[@SamiaMuqeem1210]

hey love this top soo much! i'm in the process of making it and I already made my granny square from a different pattern but I am wondering if you blocked your granny square? thanks and keep up the awesome work!

[@madebycoral]

I didn’t block it👀 it would probably be better to block it first, just so it’s easier to see the stitches but that’s up to you:)

[@CharlotteRoe-nx2cz]

How many balls of yarn did you use?

[@carys9829]

Do you think this would work with thicker yarn for winter?

[@peakypeakaboo]

Can you please share the link of granny square asap! Please..

[@sofiajanhede1460]

i’ve tried making this with a 3.5 mm hook, but the increases becomes crooked or off center, so the sleeves and body don’t line up. any tips?

[@himadrigautam3790]

How much yarn was used in making this top ?

[@ZNMelowLeloNeka]

im confused about how you made the bows

[@iamadamselindistress4969]

also when u did the granny square, did u end on row 7 from the video? The lady in the tutorial had hers a bit bigger

[@madebycoral]

yeah, I didn’t make it as big as she did

[@lourdestan2428]

Hi what's the size of this top?

[@iamadamselindistress4969]

hello! I’m following the exact numbers and measurements u are using but I was left with 52 stitches instead of 53. I must of missed a stitch while making the 6 rows 😭😭would it be fine if I just crocheted two stitches in one stitch just so it can be 53

[@madebycoral]

yeah it probably won’t affect the overall top too much if you did that:)

[@yongsheng769]

I have problem counting where to put my stitch markers😭

[@madebycoral]

What is your total chain length?

[@yongsheng769]

@@madebycoral same as yours but i gave no idea why it is not balance

[@madebycoral]

@@yongsheng769 the first stitch marker goes on the 20th chain. The second goes on the 41st chain, third goes on the 61st chain and fourth on the 82nd chain.

[@yongsheng769]

@@madebycoral but the 61th and 41th only have differences of 20 stitches

If I have 130 chains where would I put my stitch markers 😭💀 IM LOST

[@madebycoral]

You could try doing 132 chains, that way it’s divisible by 6 and you can follow the rest of the directions:))

[@adri_negron]

I’m making the top fitted and without the granny square and I have a question, do I start doing the decreases right from the 8th row or from the row you started doing it for yours? I don’t know if that makes sense. 7:52

[@madebycoral]

You would crochet without decreasing until it hits the fullest point of your bust, and then follow the decreasing instructions. Hope that clears it up!🫶

[@LauraBaxter-o7j]

I don’t know if I’m being really silly but I’m my 120 chains / double crochets keep TWISTING and I have no idea what I’m doing wrong I’ve tried like three times 🥲

[@nava1134]

omg same n im rlly late to this but I just skipped the first slip stitch she did in the video n only did it after I made my first row and it went pretty much the same !

[@michellenash6802]

If you’re talking about the foundation chain is twisting, which will cause the next row to also twist… If you chain 5 or 6, pull yarn to make the loop bigger from last chain. Pull hook out, then place the hook in the knot end where you started the chain and slip the side where you stopped chaining. Here you want to make sure the chains are lined up the same direction and not twisted (which is easier to do w just a few chains on your hook). This will keep the chains from twisting and at the end, just slip-stitch into last chain and start row one as normal. If you don’t understand, type in YT search ‘how to not twist foundation row chains when joining’. There’s several videos on how to do it. If after doing this, ensuring that it not twisted when joining the chains, then either you’re not fully untwisting which can happen if you’re chains are not even; or you’re twisting it as you’re putting in your first row of stitches. Either, go through the same 2 strands from each chain stitch, or use the back bump on the back of the chain stitch, whichever is easier for you to identify.

[@faefae-dm7ez]

same, i've frogged mine three times :") still can't figure out how to do it right
