the FIRST crochet top you should make as a beginner! | in-depth tutorial *read description first*

[@dayanereis3033]

Heyy, i started one but it came out too small in it's length, it doesn't even reach my back. How would you suggest that i make it bigger? I am new to crochet and this is my first real project. Thank you!! The tutorial is very well explained, just my boobs that it's too small that taking off 15" was too much lol thank you!!

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

Thank you for letting me know that it was too small! I don't have pattern testers for my videos, so comments always help me out! To make it bigger, I would suggest adding more half double crochets along the sides of the top. So instead of going straight into making the straps, I would chain 1 and flip your top so you are working on the side of it. Then I would make rows of half double crochet until you are satisfied with how much more length it has. Then I would fasten off that side and do the same thing to the other side of the top. After you are done with that, then I would attach the yarn into one of the corners of the top and then finish the straps and border portion of the video. I will also put a note here for everyone else that 15" seems to be too much to take off of your bust measurement. I think due to the yarn I was using, it made the project grow more so than it normally would. I would instead suggest taking off 10" instead of 15". When I measured my top it was 21.5" long whereas my bust size is 31.5 -32" so it seems my project "grew/stretched" about 5".

@@dayanereis3033 hey, if you dont mind me asking..if you have finished, what was your measurement A and what did u end up doing for a nice fit? thanks

[@dayanereis3033]

@@remkenyon heyy, i don't mind at all... I still haven't finish, but it ended up with 18 inches. After I finished the steps on the video, i repeated the process in each side, starting with a 4.5 inchs chain and half double crochet until the end, i connected the new piece with the old with single crochets. Was that clear?

Depends on how tight your stitches are

a tip for people that are not that good in English: put the video on 0.75 speed. It's much more easier to understand what she's saying! And thank you for this simple tutorial!

[@sr3145]

this top was the first project i ever did, and totally helped me start crocheting. I just revisited this pattern to use up about half a skein of some self-striping yarn, and the result is so cute and basically looks like cotton candy (i used a basic white yarn for the border and straps and it contrasts so nicely)

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

Adorable! :)

[@tiffanymallinson5117]

TIP FROM BEGINNER. This is an amazing thing to make as a beginner, it's the second thing I've ever made in crochet, I used thicker, multicolour yarn to make it a little easier and less see through, it definitely works

[@yummyplayzroblox8898]

Do u use the hook size the yarn says on packaging or same as them in the vid

[@venusspade6449]

@@yummyplayzroblox8898you should always use the same as the vid, the hook size on the packaging is just a suggestion for the yarn weight. But you can use any size hook with any yarn to change the effect, for example a thicker yarn with a smaller hook will make less gaps and vice versa, usually best to follow the tutorials hook size or close to it if you want to achieve the same affect.

[@claudia8274]

This top is sooo cute! I have never crocheted before but you made it seem so easy I HAD to try. In the end it took me about two days to finish it (representation for my fellow slow learners here), a lot of grumpiness because I had to re-do some parts.... (the straps made me go insane but that is definitely my fault, I tried the lazy method and ofc it came back to bite me in the ass). In the end it came out kinda lumpy and I ran out of the same color yarn so I had to switch in the middle of it but I kept going just for fun... Now I have a lumpy white top with a splotch of black, but I am SO PROUD of myself. Am I going to wear it? Probably not. Will I try again and put to test the things I learned while doing this first try? DEFINITELY. Thank you so much for having the patience of sharing this tutorial with all of us, your explanations were super clear and the fact that you went back and showed each step even if you had already explained it beforehand made it really easy to follow!! All the love!

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

That's awesome! The straps would definitely drive me crazy as a beginner lol. When I first started crocheting, I used to make tops like this that I absolutely never wore but I made them because it was fun and it helped me learn :)

[@alexf1531]

You should definitely keep the top, even if you won’t wear it. That way you can see your progress

[@claudia8274]

@@alexf1531 I will DEFINITELY keep it. I first thought I could reuse the yarn but I think it's more fun to preserve my frankentop so I can see the progress compared to the new ones I make! 😊

[@sumpfhexe26]

thank you so much! this is the realest comment i’ve ever seen regarding the knitting/crocheting community. it sounds like you just had fun while learning something new. amazing (btw i also re-did the straps but the second time i used a smaller hook so the stitches automatically became a little bit tighter/neater). i am not completely finished but am already at the bottom edge whoo)

[@citcat299]

Hey I just wanted to thank you so much for this tutorial. It was ambitious but this is the first crochet project I have ever attempted. When I started the top, I knew nothing at all about how to crochet. This tutorial by itself taught me the basics and gave me the confidence to learn a new skill. It was so easy to follow and had the repetition I needed to learn each stitch. I have watched each part multiple times. My top is now almost complete and i am ready to try new projects. Thanks again.

[@maxinejones3879]

Quick Tip for people with a slightly larger bust size: instead of just crossing the straps in the back, create a faux halter neck by knotting the straps just behind the neck at the height that sits best on you. Then just cross and lace up like in the video - this helps the top sit at the right height and not slip down into dangerous nip slip territory 😂 hope this helps someone! Great video and super pattern x

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

Awesome tip! Thank you :)

[@pj1907]

Out here doing the Lord's work. Thank you!

[@UntitledLIKEYOURFACE]

This will probs get lost in a sea of comments but this just came back onto my feed and I wanted to thank you. For some reason, despite never looking up crocheted anything before, this video came onto my feed a year or two ago. In typical ADHD fashion, I was like omg WHAT is this hobby I need it NOW. So I bought hooks. I bought the wrong kind of yarn. I made this top in scratchy acrylic, then again in weight 4 cotton. Since then, I haven't stopped. I joined a handicrafter group at my library and met a million old ladies who are really close with me now. I've made so many projects, from stuffies to wearables, and I've created so many gifts for friends and family. I thought it was something I'd abandon quickly, but I haven't, and I wanted to thank you for that. You're the whole reason I have all of these things in my life that I love so, so much.

[@sonnysonset]

my first ever crotchet top project and let me tell u i loved it! the steps very easy to understand! Thanks a ton!

[@payton.jaye124]

first off, this tutorial was amazing! super easy to follow and totally beginner-friendly. i’ve only ever crocheted a teeny single crochet scarf before, but i wanted to try this and it looked easy enough. in total this top probably took me about 8 hours to complete, but it was so worth it. i learned a lot of new stitches doing this and i’m so proud of how it turned out! my measurement A worked great. i took 15” off and it worked just fine! on the other hand, my measurement B was kind of tough. my initial measurement was 6” (i’m a B cup), and even though i wanted kind of a longer top, i was worried it might mess up the pattern so i went with 5.” now that i’m finished, i really wish i had gone till 6” or even 7” as that would’ve worked better for the length i wanted. in the end though, i ended up with exactly what was shown in the video and it’s still super cute! despite the rounded corners, i’m planning on going back in on the bottom and adding a few more inches of half double crochet stitches to it. hopefully that’ll work! does anyone have any other ideas for expanding it?? edit: instead of adding more rows, i think i’m going to crochet a lace pattern around the bottom to make it longer! i’ll do another update when it’s done.

[@alondramorales5865]

Omg I love how you patiently describe every step. Thank you!

[@nostradamus1162]

thank you so much for this tutorial! this was the first thing i ever crocheted, i used shitty $1 acrylic yarn, a horrible old crochet hook and i somehow still managed to make something that at least looks good in pictures 😂 i made so many mistakes, skipped crochet loops, made new ones etc but im so proud of myself 😇

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

that's awesome! glad you enjoyed :)

[@debbiegodwin4295]

You did the absolute best work. I have been crocheting for a while and watch many different tutorials and I was so impressed with your video and work!! Thank you so much for sharing. I made this in olive green. My daughter is going to love it ❤👏

You’re a great teacher 😮😮😮I’ve tried to crochet for 6 months now. It was so difficult but ur guiding was so easy. Thanku🤭🤭❤️

[@isabellaelise9598]

I’m working on this right now, and it’s so easy! Thank you for this tutorial, I’m a beginner

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

so glad you're enjoying it! :)

[@hollybeaver2176]

This was an excellent tutorial! Easy to follow for beginners! I just finished my project, and I love it so much. I can't wait to make more!

[@snazzylikeangie1951]

Tip 1. DONT SKIP THE MEASUREMENTS LIKE I DID. It fits well just a little snug 2. The only thing I’ve crochet was a blanket I started about 3 weeks ago and I couldn’t follow any other video but this one 🥹 I almost gave up but now I feel like I can do anything. It took me 3 days but definitely worth it

[@Muva123]

Amazing tutorial! Tried this to refreshen my skills, and it came out perfect. Gifted it to my mother in law and she LOVED it.

[@k0rn0ndac0b]

Just finished this after like 5 hours and I’ve never done a crochet anything before lol… turned out more the size of something for my 5 year old daughter than for me and the straps were uneven and lumpy but hey! One project down for practice; the next one can only go better I guess 😂😅

[@adolphinediangana4226]

just finished crocheting this. it was explained really well i love the result of work i have done thank you

[@imdancinginthemoonlight654]

I just wanted to say thank you for this incredible tutorial. I've just finished my own top in dark pink, which I did have to adjust as the bust wouldn't reach my back at first. It looks super cute and it made me feel proud of my hands. Thank you 🌞

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

I'm so happy to hear that! :)

[@amyc.513]

Thank you this video was my life for like 5 days and now I have a shirt to remember it always

[@domiaw8957]

THANK YOU so much for this tutorial! It's my first crotchet top and I love how it looks 💖 Really it's lovely, maybe not so good like yours but still I love it💖💖

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

i'm so happy to hear that! :)

[@SaraG-p1l]

As an intermediate chrochet person and this being my first top this helped a lot I even wrote the pattern down!❤

[@thisismarieee]

Hey! Thank you so much, it’s so easy and so cute! I’m very proud of my new crochet project. Good luck

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

I'm glad you liked it! Enjoy your new crochet top ^_^

[@hyprshorty1811]

Made this and love it!! I experienced some gaping in the back when I tied it but added double the number of criss crosses which fixed it

[@TheBrit1992]

Yay! Luckily, I had one skein of 24/7 Cotton in my stash in the color charcoal! Just started the foundation chain☺️ will you in a post on Instagram once it’s complete. I look forward to your content 💕

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

Ah perfect!! I hope you enjoy the video! xx

[@isabelgapas6163]

Hi, I followed your video as my very first go at crochet and I ended up with too short straps as I didn't realise that they'd be woven to the back as well. Do you have any suggestions on how to correct this or add more length to the straps? I love your video by the way! Pretty easy to follow :)

[@brittanyalicecrochet]

Hmmm, maybe you can attach your yarn to the end of the strap and make another chain off of the strap followed by slip stitches just like you did before! Hopefully that will help :)

[@isabelgapas6163]

Thanks so much! I'll try that out :)
