I saw your YouTube post and was waiting for the tutorial <3 It would be such a cute top to wear on Christmas Eve!!

[ghostytoasty]

This was so helpful! I also am planning to make a dress and needed to find the perfect top portion. I'm glad I found your channel!!

I can’t wait to make this, I think you are so clear and easy to understand and follow along your videos! Honestly hands down the most understandable tutorial I’ve ever seen for this kind of project, you should be so proud I hope I can make it as good as you ☺️

I'm currently doing your other off shoulder tutorial but now I want to make this one 🥲

[kimjeahyun]

This was so fun to make! You made a really good tutorial that I, as a beginner, was able to follow. I love how my top turned out. Please continue making tutorials like this. Thank you~♡♡♡

Note:
♡I used 8 balls of 5 ply (50g) to make this.
♡It took me about 2 weeks. (I am still learning)
♡I am a size small.

my crochet notes:
*don't recommend acrylic yarn for this (too hot)

bra cup: 2:20
chain 15 +2 for turns (depending on measurements)
making a rainbow back and forth

start of bodice (1/2): 14:19
*keep stitch markers in bra cups in
*i personally recommend keeping low tension in your stitches for this part, except when you are attaching it back to the bra cup
chain 35 +2 for turns
increasing every row should end at a row with 44 stitches total (should be 19 rows total before joining to the other bra cup)

attaching to other bra cup (2/2): 22:54
start decreasing by 1, should end with 35 stitches for symmetry

once done, yarn over slip-stitch on the side of the bra cup, 24 stitches total: 28:16
from here: crochet rows adding the 24 stitches from the bra cup AND the 35 stitches from the bodice for a total of the amount of rows to go around (she did 39 rows, using the 40th to combine to the other side of the piece.) however long you need.

left off: 36:33
because I used acrylic yarn not stretchy yarn, I had to crochet a lot more rows. very important to try it on while making!

off shoulder panel:
50 yarn over slip sitches 6 slip stitches 50 yarn over slip stitches (total 106 chains but w turning chains +2 so 108): 41:56
for this panel, instead of crocheting in the third loop, crochet in the BACK LOOP for the rest of the panel.
crochet for 30 rows but do not finish off

for attaching it to the bodice use the yarn over slip stitches and start from the back
because i did not have buttons like she did, I just sewed together the ends of the shoulder panel after i madei it back from connecting the whole thing to the bodice.
IM SO HAPPY I FINISHED (12/20/23)

currently making your other off the shoulder top for myself but will defo be making this for my sister for christmas!

[rebeccathistle]

Oh it’s gorgeous … only for the bow part i suggest for next time to make the joining in the Middle front where it’s covered from the “knot of the bow “ in the front.

[loveeva]

this is adorableee 💗 you're so talentedd

[mindlessjozie]

Do you know how one would go about adding long sleeves to this? I know you mentioned you wanted to, but I'd love to see an alternative/know how to do it!

[gracejordan]

This is so cute! I wish I could see your video before Christmas dinner party! But I will make one for next Christmas party with red color.

[kerichen]

This is such a cute pattern I can't wait to try it!! One question, if I wanted to add long sleeves similar to your other off-shoulder top pattern, how would I do that? Could I attach it the same way as the other off-shoulder top, by making the front and back bodice separate and adding sleeves onto the sides before seaming it together, and then add the bow panel last?
