I’m ngl I was a little disappointed when I found out the pattern was on Etsy by then you loterallly made a whole ass yt tut like honestly props to you for making this it’s beautiful <3

[Rainnn]

bro im not even following the tutorial, working on a painting rn, but i listened to the whole video cause ur voice is so soft and pretty omg <3 honestly now i wanna learn how to crochet, the top u made is adorable 😭😭 ur channel is super cool, new sub!!

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO MAKE IT BIGGER: (I know it isn't intentional but the instructions for making it bigger feels like an afterthought and a lot of extra work that also has no visual so I made it easier for my fellow busty people :D)
- chain until it reaches your half bust length(or longer, however you want it make sure to count). 
-however many you have, subtract 39 from it(if the number is odd then add one more or less chain)
- then divide that number by 2 and place stitch markers that many chains in on either side. 
- then +1 and just single crochet like normal and look back at the tutorial when you get to your stitch marker. 
Example: mine was 63 chains. 63-39=24. 24%2=12
so I put stitch markers 12 in on either side then I chain one and start my single crochets and just follow the tutorial when im within the stitch markers
EDIT FOR STRAPS: I personally made my panel go around my sides so I don't spill and get extra support. the straps have to be different but its not hard.
- for back mesh stitches it make it to the height of whole panel
- sew up sides
- make 2 thick straps for support with hdc and then sew that to front(closer to middle for the support and the back

[Miraonlyacc]

I THINK SAKURA (LESSERAFIM) WATCH UR VIDEO SHE EVEN MAKE THAT TOP TOOO

[Str.bby]

Tip: so bc I’m a bit of a mid-sized girlie (btw this goes for all body types ✨) I’d recommend for the star panel js chain however many fit and however many you think would be good for you then you won’t have to do extensions or anything and it’ll save SOOO MUCH time. I promise you lol 💋

[confusedweirdoo]

the thumbnail automatically made me gravitate to this video it’s so iconic, much love fr

[zuralyalvarez]

I just finish this top and it's beautiful. Thanks for this amazing tutorial <3

[DearDollyy]

Made this today! To make the star a little more opaque [ since the main color pokes through sometimes ], I dropped the colors along the back as I went- it saves yarn as well, even though it takes a bit longer to do ^^

[minavasquez]

Thank you for this tutorial!! This is the 2nd tutorial I have completed from you this week and it was so easy for both! I do wish i watched the whole video before starting because I did extend my star panel a little too wide for the straps to be in the corner so imma try n freestyle it n see what i can do but the rest is perfect! im so obsessed! imma make it again in different colorways! ☺️
