You deserve all the praise for your style of instruction. I just wanted to add that this was an excellent yarn choice. I can see what you’re doing so clearly it’s like someone put glasses on the KZbin.

[@aprilallard1979]

Very well done. Im excited to try your pattern. I think what makes it easy for me to follow, is how you hold your hook. Thats the way i was taught, but dont find many people who dont hold the hook over. Great job!

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

Thank you so much for your comment. Yeah I'm most comfortable holding the hook in this way and aside from that it gives me so much control too like how tight or loosen the stitch hehe no one has taught me crochet, Im self taught thanks to youtube hahaha Anyway I hope you enjoy the pattern :)

[@aprilallard1979]

@@HappyHookerOfficial i was taught when i was young but didn't show much interest until i was a adult. I 100% that holding the hook gives you more control. I see ppl holding the hook on top & their stitches are far from tight. Yes KZbin is a great place to learn anything. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pattern

This looks absolutely beautiful I can’t wait to try it I will be measuring it to fit me for the bottom/body part did you do an odd number or even?

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

Thank you, you can do it even/odd number since you can just adjust

[@loulou1248]

@@HappyHookerOfficial okay thanks

[@patriciaRowe-z9g]

When adding the 2dc ch12dc you are adding extra stitches so surely you will have to dc more than 11 way around if you are doing a bigger cup ? And also if it is a bigger cup size won’t the cups look odd on a short base ?

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

Hii, if you want bigger cups you do 15 chs instead

[@patriciaRowe-z9g]

@@HappyHookerOfficial so 16 chains at the beginning rather than 11 ? … I have just bought the pattern but I’m sorry it didn’t make sense to me so have had to watch video

[@karenstocks2623]

Hi could you please tell me how it's secured at the back please ? I've bought the pattern. But can't see how it's fastened at the back when completed ? Or anyone reading this have U any idea how it's fastened at the back plz ?

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

Hi, I replied to you via Etsy Messages. Please check there

[@kellysnider5138]

First thought - tell us what yarn that is and what a substitute yarn would be if we can't find that. Personally, I've never seen that yarn before - looks like several tiny strands - so if we can't find that what can we use instead to make sure we get the same result with no see thru holes. It's lovely by the way. I definitely want to make one for my daughter.

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

Hi, Thank youu ❤️ So I’m using indophil acrylic yarn (8ply). As for a substitute for this yarn, I would have to research more about it since I noticed that Someone from Canada mentioned they can’t seem to find this yarn and My initial thoughts are cotton may work but I haven’t really test it on waters so we don’t really know if this is a perfect substitute:)

[@dorinemogoi9049]

Try Robbin

[@catrinadover6755]

I'm using a weight 4 Crafter's Secret Big Idea yarn, and it looks the same as the video

I need a size different than the one you showing is yo make! This is too small for me. How do I adjust the pattern to make a med or large? Help please. I'm makingbit as you are then it dawned on me that you are making a size to small for me.

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

Hii, you can make the cup size bigger. Add more rows

[@PrincessJohnson14]

After row 6, you said to repeat the pattern for additional rows. Where do we start to repeat from?

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

So go back to row 3,4,5,6 and then back to 3…

[@allisonburgos1170]

Hi, I love this and u explain so good! A question, how many rows do i have to do if I wanna make a D cup?

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

Thank you so much. Im so happy you loved it. For D cup, I would say 25 rows if you got bigger & thicker yarn. If smaller yarn go for 27 rows.

How many chains do I do for sizes small on up? As far as after I do the cup sizes, when I do the bottom half

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

I would add 10 chs on each sides of the cup.

I have a similar question because I remember you did 15 rows on the cups but if you make them bigger the pattern with 10 chains on both sides doesn't seem to work with me 😢

Can i use a fine indo 8ply yarn?

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

I think so..

[@adettabraun]

Хорошая идея, спасибо за урок! Но я бы сделала по-другому: довязала бы в полный обхват и сделала застёжки как у лифчика, например. Ну и хвостики нитей, которые подвязываете, сделала бы подлиннее, чтобы можно было их вплести в основную вязку, так и прочнее будет. А из-за того, что Вы их не убрали, выглядит не очень аккуратно, будто его уже носили и в процессе носки оборвали.

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

Hi, sorry I can’t understand. I don’t see any translation here that might help me understand your language.

[@adettabraun]

@@HappyHookerOfficial Sorry, I'll write in your language. I was saying that the idea is very good, but I would tie the bottom of the top around the entire chest circumference, making the back fasteners like a bra, and the tails of the threads with which you continue knitting, I would make it longer so that they could be woven into the product and they could not be seen, it does not look neat finished work with protruding threads. And I also wanted to thank you for the lesson, it will be very useful to me! ))))

[@HappyHookerOfficial]

@@adettabraun hi , thank you for translating it to me. Your suggestion means alot :) I didn't show how to clean up the tail of the threads, but I usually clean and stitch them in the finished product but in the video I just didn't show cause people might not be interested of it hehe but thank you , will apply this suggestion to my next videos!

You say what the brand of yarn is but what weight is it? How many meters per 100g?

Hi, I only know that it is 100g (8ply). I already messaged the seller of the yarn so I would know how many meters there is. I’ll get back to you once I have the answer
