Thank you, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. A quick and practical tutorial, I really appreciate it.💖
Yay! Thanks for letting me know 😊🤗
I was looking for a bikini top tutorial for myself and came across your videos. We went to school together,I was a year ahead. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Great videos.
Hi Jamie! So cool you found me on here. Enjoy the video, thanks for watching.
Great tutorial, I changed colors to make a striped pattern and it turned out great! Just a tip that might help someone, when I got to the peaks where you do 5 hdc, put a stitch marker in the 3rd hdc you make, that’s where you’ll increase the next round!
Thanks Taylar, great advice!
Thank you!!!! great tip
Just finished mine, it turned out so nice, feel like seashell. I added extra line at the bottom to prevent it stretching out so much. Thanks for your tutorial!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad it came out nice for you.
This is such a great tutorial!! One of the first ones I could actually follow without making it wrong all the time having to start again. Also love the outcome
This the only tutorial I could follow without having to restart every minute!!! LOVE THE VIDEO! Thank you ❤️
Thanks so much Kim, glad it was easy for you to follow. Enjoy!
I did it! Thank you for the simple instructions; I wrote them down just in case, but followed along with the video as well, and made a top in one day. This comes at a crucial time for me, as my confidence and endurance has been at an all-time low. This gives me hope for myself.❤
Yay! So glad to have inspired some self love through crochet. Thanks for letting me know.
Now my daughter will have a Personal bikini 👙 to wear when she travels abroad. Thku❤
I know this is an old video that I’m just finding💞 wanted to thank you for an awesome tutorial.
You are so welcome! Enjoy
This tutorial was so perfect. I finished my first ever project! Thank you so much. 🎉
Yay!! Congrats on finishing your first project, and to many more!

Thanks Riana! Welcome to my channel
Love this pattern 🎉🎉 can’t stop making tops
Woohoo! Thank you
@@crochet.with.illjay no problem it’s amazing 🤩
I love this video so much. I’ve made 3 different tops using this pattern and am teaching my friends how to make them tonight ❤
Wow awesome! Thanks for letting me know 😉
Gurl! You make it look so easy. It's gliding softly. When I'm making it. It's giving me headaches. 😅 I'm a beginner btw. 😂
Type of yarn makes a difference too, especially when starting out. Some are too rough, some are too slippery, some like to split. Try a different yarn maybe.
Thank you for sharing this I made one for my daughter and she loved it ❤
Yay! That’s awesome
THIS WAS SO HARD I WAS CRYING FOR SO LONG I CANNOT WITH THIS
Everything comes with patients. crocheting is hard and comes with practice. You got this

Hi i have now made thousands of them and im hoping to sell them idk yet but I have made some for family for there birthday thank you so much for this tutorial

does anyone if she going through one loop or two loops when doing the stitches?
Wow! Your explanation was so wonderful and clear! I can hardly wait to get started! Thank you for including the different sizes and stitch counts! I have all necessary supplies and hope to make this ASAP so my daughter can enjoy it THIS summer! Cheers!
Thanks so much Mariana! I’m sure it will come out great.
Great tutorial for intermediate crochetes, for beginners it may be alittle fast. But if you have experience and need a quick tutorial, this is the perfect one, made mines in around an hour and a half.

Thank you so much Emma! Glad you found it easy and helpful :)
@@crochet.with.illjay was extremely easy. Thank your
@Emma Malin may i ask how long it took you? thanks!
@@jmaren3448 um I would say maybe about 2 hours but it depends on how good you are at crocheting. so if you’re really experienced it might take you only hour but if it’s your first project it might take a while which is totally fine! I took breaks in between when i made mine and I made it while I was on a road trip. hope this helps :))

Thank you Kathleen, enjoy!
An improvement for wider breasted girls,follow pattern,when done the side straps are the neck straps and vice versa,(hen lining the 'bottom' in original pattern I recommend two lines) after flipping to the sides to top do 4 lines of 1/2 DC on the new bottom part,then a line of sc in every other stitch,and then another of 3 sc skip one,and then finish off with extending a side strap by 10 or more,turn work,then make sure you're on the bottom and do 1/2 DC all the way down to the other cup corner,continue up the other side strap and add the same amount of stitches as the other side,turn and 1/2 DC the strap extension,connect to original extension where you can.this holds larger breasts a bit more smoothly and gives a slight lift,it may look wonky in the process,trust the process
Also ask me if you get confused with wording,English may be my only language but my wording can sometimes confuse
Hi I’m trying to make the straps for wide breasted girls and I can’t understand is there a way for us to video call or explain it better?
@@pokeden5876 I’m confused on the part with the hen lining and adding 4 lines of 1/2 dc
I currently made 80 chains for the side strap
This is outdated as the stitches loosen after a few washes-im currently doing tests for better support for the girls
Oh my God I love this ❤
🤩🙌🏼
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial!
You are so welcome!
Its now that I've seen your channel. Thanks for that.
Welcome Sweetie!
Yesss I finally did it!!! Thanks so much for the help!!! Love it so much!!! ❤❤❤

That’s awesome! So glad it was helpful for you 😊
what a great & simple pattern .. my 17 yearn old Grand was claming it and trying on before I was finished ..thank you
Awesome! Thanks for watching
Good tutorial, I personally don't like the outcome that much but it was a fun first clothing item to crochet, very accurate video. I think my tattas are just not made for this.
Thank you, totally understand. This one suits the smaller chested better. I have another top tutorial better for the bigger ladies though: th-cam.com/video/9_4I_KerA4Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5Nzy2Vg-w-ltyTjF
This was such a good tutorial. Thank u so much
very easy thank you !
You are welcome!
Thank you I would like to see more of your patterns
New pattern coming soon! 😊
Ended up making a tank top out of this:) thanks for getting me started ❤ you're very talented
Thank you Ana!

Amazing tutorial! But I have a lot bigger gaps/holes where I increased… any tips?
Beau❤ beautiful 😻
Thanks this really help alot
You are welcome!
Thank you so much . ❤❤❤
WOW so beautiful ❤❤
Perfect, my sister wanted a bikini, and this is just perfect for beginners. (I don't know if I spelled that corectly)
Thank you for sharing, I'm new subscriber here
Welcome to my channel!
Tip: if you don’t want to make your cups bigger when adding the straps, do slip stichtes instead of singles. It still looks like a nice boarder and doesn’t really alter the size of the cups
Good idea!
Thanks so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
i just found this video and i love how the top turned out! can i wear it in the water?
Thanks Robin! You can although I wouldn’t if it’s wool, and cotton may get heavy when wet.
Can you actually swim in one of these?
Great tutorial though🩷
Hi! Sure! Although I would not recommend to use wool if swimming. Cotton may get a bit heavy also just keep in mind.
hello, i love your work. i hope to be professional like you very soon. if you dont mind telling me. where did you get your silky yarn from? which store or website?
Hi! Thank you so much. Honestly I don’t remember this video is a few years old now. A silky yarn that I do like though is Caron simply soft, it might be that!
The tutorial was so easy for me considering how to beginner, but I just didn’t know how to tie off😂
How many rows we add for each cup?? You go up to 27 for a B cup. But how many for C, D etc??
Add more rows until it fits. Otherwise the written pattern is available here> illjay.com/collections/patterns/products/pdf-pattern-easy-bikini-top
this was so helpful and easy thank youu
Thanks for watching :)
Hi this was a little easy for me but I am a fast learner
Nice 🙌🏼
How many stitches do u recommend for a med/large ?
Very helpful and easy to follow pattern
Thank you! Enjoy
for the first cup, did you cut the string to start connecting the second one?
I did, yes…
No matter what tutorial i watch and how i follow the steps it's always shorter but it's coming out better than expected
Hey thanks for this tutorial it was easy to follow and made it for my daughter who was asking me to make her one
I’m glad it was easy for you to follow, thanks watching and letting me know :)
Such and easy and amazing pattern! Did mine in two separate colors:)
Thanks so much Kiersten!
Do you have a tutorial for a matching bottom? Very easy pattern to follow. Thanks
Amazing tutorial!!! I made two of these and both came out beautiful
Thanks Myabella! :D
@@crochet.with.illjay No problem 😊 keep up the great work
How many chains do you recommend for the strap for sizes s,m,l?
I use the same count for straps in all sizes. You can add or decrease as needed.
Holy shitsnacks, that was easy….
Woohoo!
I made my first perfect item
Woohoo! 🙌🏼
Pls I want to know something. Would a material or cloth be put inside the cup to avoid itching because I recall that wool itches.
You could certainly try that. I do not usually use wool yarns for summer tops unless it’s Merino wool which is quite nice but will smell like sheep if you get
It wet. Cotton yarn is ideal for summer
Tops, acrylic can work but yea some is scratchy. Pick something that isn’t itchy.
Thanks so much.
How much yarn do you need to knit this? Is one roll enough?
Depends what size you want it I used less than a roll and it fit
Thank you! So awesome!!
Thank you easy I’ll post video
