Impeccable construction technique. I’m 5’8”, 315 lbs, with a smallish C cup, and this worked out GREAT for me - though I did make thicker straps! Also, when seeming up the back, I found that if you go through both loops for each stitch of the start of the band, and the Back Loop Only of the last row in the band, that the ribbing truly looks seamless when you flip it inside out.

Thanks for sharing that tip about the back seam! I used that technique, and it really blends in with the rest of the ribbing!!! :)

@@Rosie-zr9hr I’m a J cup. When the bust section needs to be that large, sizing it up proportionally doesn’t fit properly so I’d have to greatly alternate the pattern and I’m really not good at doing that. I could try but honestly it would just be way more work and way too frustrating for me so I just choose to make them in smaller sizes for art purposes instead of clothing purposes

Yay, I did it as an absolute beginner. I crocheted some amigurumis before but that's it. I made a top 36/38A (80/85A) with 128 Chains at the beginning and 28 chains high at the bust. It took me 13 hours straight up crocheting and around 80 g of yarn. And some calming information: It is absolutely right that the stitch count increases in round 5 - 7, but if everything was made correct you should be back to your starting count of stitches in round 8. I worried a lot 😅 Thanks Bjax

@alyssaisaperson4904 ай бұрын
Just finished making this but I heavily modified it!! Here are some notes I have (for future me and whoever reads this): I used weight 4 acrylic yarn instead of weight 3, which really changed a lot of things. I originally followed the pattern exactly as shown in the video, but I ended up hating it because all the lacework got very much 'lost in the sauce' through stretching, it didn't sit on my body properly, and it just didn't look good. I ended up frogging the torso bit and experimented with a bunch of modifications. These are the ones that worked: For Row 2, I noticed that only 1 row of single crochet didn't provide enough stability for the upper part of the top. The row 3 box stitches sometimes rode up, showing more of my chest than I liked. So instead I made 4 single crochet rows. I also made these a bit tight so that they could sort of act like a bra band to the chest bit. For row 3, I noticed the boxes got lost in the sauce using the original pattern, so I did a treble crochet, chained 2, skipped 2 stitches and trebled into the 3rd stitch from the hook. Since this made multiples of 3, I had to skip 3 stitches on the last box and chain 3 to keep my original 64 stitch count. For row 6, I noticed that 6 double crochets into each chain 5 space also got lost in the sauce. Instead I did 10 treble crochets into each chain 5 space. I also single crocheted directly into the 3rd chain of the chain 5 space instead of just doing it into the space directly. When I did this, I didn't do it into the traditional two loops however, because that third "underloop" would be oddly pronounced. Instead I chained into the backloop and "underloop", which ended up looking cleaner from the front. I also did this for row 12. For row 7, I noticed that doing chains of 7, then single crochets did not work for me. If I chained them tightly enough for my body, the top wouldn't fit over my boobs. If I chained loosely as she suggested, the top grew bigger and did not sit on my body. Instead I just made 7 foundation chains, and then a foundation chain into the chain 2 space (from the previous row) all the way around. This allowed the top to continue being stretchy while also fitting my body and I highly recommend it. For Row 12, I added 12 treble crochets into each chain 5 space. This made the bottom slightly bigger than I would've liked, but the way the 'shells' fan out sort of looks like petals so I don't really mind it. Might change it if I make another one of these tops. Other Notes: I used 64 foundation chains and tried to chain more tightly as I went on so that it wouldn't end up loose during the transition from the ribs to the waistline. I'm 5'7 and the top ended up stopping right after my belly button. I'm about a 32D, 34inch bust, 28inch underbust and 25 inch waist, which is pretty similar to BJax's measurements. For some reason though, and I don't know why, the keyhole top part ended up looking SUPER revealing on me unlike the video, and I didn't feel comfortable with it. I didn't want to restart the whole thing though, so I just slip stitched the front chest part into a single panel and it ended up looking fine. The chest panel is still a bit vertically shorter than I would like, but I don't feel like redoing that at the moment. Maybe I'll make it longer and properly one panel in the future. Also when she says 'crochet into the backloop' for the chest ribbing, it is always going to be the loop furtherest away from you. Because you flip your work after every row, which loop is the backloop will change every time. Just remember its always the once furthest from you (this confused me more than it should've). Also, when she spilts her top into halves, and then the front panel into fourths , they are not truly even. There is no center stitch for an even number, but instead two center stitches. It doesn't really matter towards the end however, so long as the distances between wherever you place your stitch markers are the same, so that the increases and decreases are symmetrical. Also, I ended up making one chain for each strap instead of two for simplicities sake. I ended up criss crossing them on the back because I always feel that makes the bust area look better/ feels more supporting. They ended up being about 54 tight chains each. Lastly, my biggest recommendation to avoid redoing rows is to STITCH MARKER EVERYTHING. The first in the row, the last in the row, the second stitch you'll have to work on, the last single crochet into the chain 2 space, the tallest row of the chest ribbing before you start decreasing, the chain of the foundation row you have to always work in thats so impossible to find, etc etc. Nothing is more annoying than counting 63/64 stitches after working so hard. Thank you for the pattern!!

Thanks so much for this beautiful pattern! I have a few tips for bigger/curvier girls: I'm a size 12/14, like 205 and 5'7". I think i wear a 38d. I wanna say my first measurement at the bottom of my bust was 38 and the second measurement was 45inches...so I either did 136 or 144 foundation stitches...and it got me a little off. I ended up going up the row when I reached my stich markers instead of down, but it still worked out fine. For me, I had 15 stitches for the sc part up to 32 stitches at the hdc part. If I were to do the breast part again, I would increase for about 8 rows, then stop increasing for about 4, and then do double the increases for 4 rows or something. I had too much room for side boob, in other words. AND a suggestion for curvier girls would be to do another round of the rows of design at the bottom. For me, my boobs and fat kind of cover up the first round of it haha, and it'd cover a little more of my tummy that way. I hope this helps someone out there!

Just finished mine!!! I love it! And its perfect for this 100 degree weather lol. My partner picked out a soft white colored yarn and I love how it turned out! Fits me perfectly (with some modifications) Worked on it gradually over the course of a week. I'm a beginner so I did have some setbacks but I found some workarounds: - My back ribbing wasn't the same height when I went to connect it, so instead of seaming it all the way up I connected them at the top only and made a key-hole type thing to hide the height difference and added a charm in the center. Worked out pretty well! - I went for the cinched bust look with that final strap. At first the bust was a little too big and scooped outwards when I relaxed my shoulders (story of my life) but I ended up just taking that strap and working it higher up the bust and now it fits great! I've never had something fit my chest so well. If you do this keep in mind that the more you cinch the more "mesh" the bust part will become, but I typically wear a black bra roughly the same shape as the top so the colors work out great. THANK YOU FOR THIS TUTORIAL!! This is my first ever crochet project, and I'm happy to report is was a roaring success! :D Much love! I'm also ecstatic to be able to move comfortably in such a top, I already want to make another 👀

I just finished making my own top and I changed the pattern a little for any 💜 PLUS SIZED GIRLIES 💜 (I used medium 4 weight acrylic yarn + a 5.5mm hook | I used the "I love this yarn" from hobby lobby) My measurements: 36in underbust, ~44in bust (DDD-F cup I think) I'm about 5ft 6.5in and around 210lbs. These changes help anyone worried about the coverage that the normal bust pattern wont cover all the way (seriously I would've had spillage 💀, and the bra would definitely be on display) I used 80 stiches for my base stitch count (same as video) | I kept the bottom (lace part) the same, but changed for the bust part of the top (aka the ribbing). I used a 14 chain base and did the ribbing as normal until the increase. At the increase I increased by ONE on the way up, and TWO on the way down (once at the top on the turn, and once at the bottom on the last stitch). At the decreases, I decreased by one all the way for extra coverage (same as the video). I repeated this on the other side, but increasing by one, then decreasing by one and two alternating to finish off the cup part. To finish, I just followed the sc ribbing as normal. Since the slit was so long, I used the 100 chain piece at the end to lace up the split (think shoes/corsets) with a bow at the top. For the shoulder straps, instead of just chains, I chained my desired amount + 2, and then hdc all the way down starting at the 3rd chain from the hook (the chain before the extra +2). Back: 80 chains (then ch 2) + hdc down @ 3rd ch. Front: 40 chains (then ch 2) + hdc down @ 3rd. For the back straps, I should've done ~65, but it's still cute. The front straps also could have been shorter, but I don't mind. This whole thing took a couple days, and I'm in love 💜 | Hope this helps someone with a bigger bust create a top they love!! | This pattern is amazing, and I'm currently waiting for the Morticia dress to drop! Tysm BJax! 💜

Uma dica pra quem vai fazer em outra medida ( eu fiz 108 pontos), na parte superior ela não explicou alguns aumentos onde eu tinha 26 pontos ela tinha 20, onde eu tinha 13 ela tinha 10, e isso faz diferença. No momento em que eu fiz a parte mais alta do sutiã, antes de diminuir, eu fiz mais duas carreiras ponto sobre ponto, e só depois eu diminui, para chegar ao marcador com os 22 pontos. Na hora de diminuir eu tive que fazer algo similar, diminuir a mais, duas carreiras se não me engano. Isso funcionou comigo porque a diferença não era grande, porém para peças maiores o ideal é você analisar no seu corpo. Eu também preferi terminar a peça no busto e iniciar na parte de traz novamente, para não me perder neste processo.

seu comentário me salvou, tô fazendo com 104 e por conta dos números dela da parte de cima sempre serem pares, da certinho. mas como metade de 26 é 13 acaba que quando estou descendo para conectar sempre fica fora do marcador... vou tentar refazer essa parte com a sua dica edit 1: fiz as contas agora e acho que vai dar certo. a parte mais alta do busto vão ter 3 carreias do mesmo tamanho, "o ponto mais alto" que ela fala no video seriam 3 pontos mais altos no meu top. o meu ponto mais alto antes dos ajustes eram 26 correntes, diminui para 25 pelo bem da matemática. volto depois para dizer se deu certo. (dica pra quem fizer 104 pontos base = não faça. o número em todas as divisões [dividir o número total de pontos por 2 trez vezes] precisam dar par para o tutorial dar certo como o dela)

Quick tip: if you're flat chested like me, skip the half-double in the top and just keep on working in single crochet. Or just add three or four rows of half-double in the middle.

suggestion for anyone trying out this tutorial : try it on once you've finished row 8 so you know if you did row 7 loose enough instead of waiting to finish the torso area since I personally didn't realize just how loose row 7 was supposed to be, i had to unravel my work and try again. Love my new top though and everything worked out just fine

If you're nervous about not feeling covered enough, try wearing it over a tank top! When I have cropped shirts and I'm feeling too exposed I layer them over a tan tank top, so I still get the effect without feeling like I'm not covered enough.

quick tip, you are better off rounding down your stitches so that your final product isn't too big (its gonna stretch anyway) e.g if your underbust is 85 stitches round down to 80 rather than up to 88... im trying it on right now and it would definitely be more form fitting if i did 80 instead of 88

@Lilithmurderdoll4 ай бұрын
For a size larger than M I would advise to add more rows for the underbust area. This amount of rows is way too short and doesn't fit like it does in the video, if you like it short than it's totally fine to follow the video but if you want it to fit like in the video I would add more rows or double the double crochet rows (that's what I did to add slightly more support and coverage, I'm a size L, D cup)

Figured everything out ... Just fyi if anyone else questions the slip stitch in the ribbing... It's one in the next available stitch after you do your last back loop only sc or hdc and the slip stitch again in the NEXT available stitch ( not the same one you just slip stitched in)

Только что закончила вязание этого топа! Уже второго по туториалу Британи❤ Очень удобно, что вычисление петель на грудь идёт независимо от отличия измерений, потому что при одинаковой "высоте груди" моя грудная клетка шире на треть😅 вместо шнурка сделала застёжки, дабы выглядело солиднее. Отличная модель!

i just finished my top after like idk 12hours or more haha? It looks sooo pretty and I love the pattern so much, never been so invested in a project :) There are a few problems, like my top being a bit to loose(I used 128 stitches), cause I was afraid it wouldnt fit over my bust, so that is kind of my problem now, but maybe the straps(since I still have to do those) will make up for it! Anyways, it couldve also just been because I used a different type and weight of wool. I used weight 1(super fine) wool, that was 100% cotton and used hook size 3.5mm. I just wish I could check out before hand how the top would fit and look, and then start crocheting, but I guess it's a 'trust the process' kind of thing. Oh well, it's still very nice, and I'm gonna make a second one that will hopefully fit perfectly :D Thank u tho for this tutorial! rly nicely done :) ♡
@gailmckenzie91745 ай бұрын
I made one in a size 16-18... I added an extra set of rows for length being a larger size. And the straps will be a little sturdier and one solid piece for obvious reasons. And I'm gonna see how fringes look, we'll see. But I love this pattern and it turned out beautifully, thanks for sharing. I'll make a few smaller sizes for inventory also.

6:04 6:07 @@pickledbuns I used one and a half of loops and threads S4 in periwinkle. I also added an extra border around the bottom. No fringes yet, still thinking. It's lovely. My starting chain was 144 and my bust chain (under to top) was 30. My back panel was 13. (Keep a close eye on your stitch marker count) oh, I also decreased stitches across the back some before straps for a snugger fit. This is definitely a size 18, if you are a 16, go down to a starter chain by 8. I'm a 16 and this one is a little loose on me.

This was my first more complex project and I loved and hated it at the same time. It had nothing to do with the pattern itself but I had to redo it about 4 times because I kept counting stitches wrong:') I eventually managed to do the torso part but he bust was something else. I gave up counting about halfway in the bust part and just eyeballed it and it turned out fine(although the perfectionist in me is screaming). Tip for bustier people: make the straps thicker. I went back and single-crocheted into the straps because I still wanted to keep a spaghetti strap look, but if you're bigger I suggest a hdc. Very cute top, very pretty pattern, incredibly helpful and clear tutorial, 10/10. Making the straps from 2 pieces allows you to tie them in different ways(I found I prefer crossing them in the back)
@s0lastsummer74 ай бұрын
If it helps your perfectionist heart to stop being upset....you probably had counting problems because your chosen multiple of eight was an odd number which created odd numbers between your stitch markers. So it was nothing you did wrong and you would've ended up doing it the way you did anyway. Hopefully this helps. 😉

I made this project for myself and I am a big gal. 42-inch waist and 55-inch bust. It honestly came out great with your instructions on measurements, but somehow my back seam ended up more of a side seam. No biggie though. My only issue (and it isn't a fault of the pattern) is that I need far more robust straps than the simple chain ones here. I am going to try changing out the straps for the adjustable straps by Littlejohn's Yarn here on YT. I think that will make this piece perfect for me. :)

Hi! Were you able to do thicker straps? I keep thinking that since the high part is one row only, if its gonna look weird if I add more rows of straps onto the high part (where you join the straps). I want to start this project but I also have a big difference from my waist to my bust and I'm not sure if its gonna work out, plus, I also need more support, or at least a strap ta covers my bra.
@portlyminnow84024 ай бұрын
@@lauratelotorres8282 It did work okay without looking too crazy, but I definitely wouldn't recommend the pattern if you are wanting to hold your girls up high, there just isn't enough support for that, which is the biggest downside to crocheting clothes as a person with a larger chest. I had some good tips in one of my crochet groups that suggested remaking the pattern with a yarn that has less stretch, but I haven't tried that yet! I definitely wouldn't want to wear the top anywhere I am going to be doing a lot of moving around and bending over lol!

Love this design! Just finished mine and it's so comfortable even as a d cup. I changed out the chain straps for something slightly thicker: a repeat of (ch 3, dc into the row below). For the bow part I switched back to just the chains. Even though I did this, the straps don't dig in at all. I could probably do them tighter but for now it's been fine. I'm also trying to think of ways to make this top into a short sleeve. I'm not sure what the best method would be yet.

Super easy to follow and it’s a really cute top, my only problem is it seems to be quite big around the armpit area (it kinda stretches out?) I don’t know. I probably did something wrong.
