Hi Ivelisse, this pattern (Tie strap crop top) doesn't have any decreases in it the top is a tube (it stretches out to fit your body after you've worn it a few times, so the bust portion will become wider than the waist) and the straps also don't have any decreases. Maybe you're having issues with a different pattern?

Purva Goswami i made size small, and i made the top longer so i used more yarn than the tutorial which was xs. i used a little less than two balls of 285yds/4.5 oz or 260m/127.5g of medium 4 acrylic yarn (that’s all that was available to me). it was about a ball and a half of the yarn that i bought (it was a huge ball). sorry if that doesn’t make sense to you, i’m new to crochet measurements. i would recommend not using acrylic, the top was stiff and not super soft. i don’t mind tho!

Today I am finished this top and it's very beautiful. the tutorial is very helpful for me making this. It's my 2nd top

Hello and thx for this tutorial.....can I make this top with normal foundation chain?

Hi Grace! I have 2 questions: 1: I have about 3.65 oz or 103 g of yarn to work with (I'm making the xs I think) But in the past I tend to come up short on yarn in the middle of the project without any yarn of the same color. Do you think I will run out or is this enough? 2: Instead of making the tie straps could I possibly just make 2 longer straps that just go all the way over and I sew to the front and the back? Let me know, thank you for your time and helpful videos. :)

What kind of yarn did u use? And what's the best yarn to use for tops?

So I just want to make sure! After each round, I flip over my work and then create another row of half double crochets right?

Love this tutorial so much!! Wouldn’t it also be possible to simply start crocheting the straps onto the top itself so there’s no darning needle needed?

@forthefrills

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Camille! Yes you could crochet the straps directly on but I find that it makes it more difficult to get perfect placement and the stitches can 'pull' on the top so the first round of the top isn't as straight. But feel free to alter this pattern to suit you :) Grace

Heyy I really need your help! I was looking at the measurements in your blog ( by the way your tutorial and blog are really really helpful) and I saw that the bust actual measurement is 30 inches for xs and 34 inches for s and I wanted 32 inches so instead of 100 or 116 stitches in the foundation chain.. should I do 108 stitches..?

@forthefrills

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Kymberly, you can use a foundation chain then crochet across but the first row of your top will have less stretch and might not fit over your head! I'd recommend crocheting the first round and then see if your yarn is stretchy enough to fit over head. If so, your top should be fine :) Grace

@forthefrills I was wondering why you need to turn your chain at row 3? Do you then turn it each time you've crocheted the round until 37, or keep going without turning? Thank you!

@forthefrills

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Valentine, I turn after every round so that the seam runs straight down the middle of the back of the top. If you don't have to turn after every row, the seam will curve and slant in one direction. I hope this helps, Grace :)

Hi Chantelle, The blog post has all the suggested yarn amounts :) Please keep in mind that if you use a different type of yarn you'll probably use a slightly different amount of yarn. Every different type of yarn has a different amount in each ball so there's no way of knowing the exact amounts! Grace

Do I do a half double crochet into the slip stitch from the last round as well?

@forthefrills

3 жыл бұрын

Hi, the slip stitch doesn't count as a stitch so you should never work a HDC into it. This will cause your top to slowly get wider! After every few rounds I'd recommend counting your stitches to make sure you still have the same amount. Grace :)

Can I use an alternative yarn? If yes, can you suggest some please? Thank you

@forthefrills

Sure as long as you meet gauge you should be ok! I'd recommend an acrylic or cotton/acrylic blend yarn so that the top can stretch to fit you! Grace
