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!
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
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!
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.
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.❤

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!
Omg thank you so much for this tutorial 😊 it could not have been any clearer i understood it and now have an amazing top thanks 👍 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
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.
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
@@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 :))
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
Thankyou ❤very much I was able to make my own bikini top for the first time 😁😁av never stitched before and av done it so well with your guidance...❤❤ although av replied it almost 10times😅but finally I have the top🥳🥳🥳😘
love it! just finished the first cup, but I'm a bit confused. should I now cut the excess yarn to be able to make the other cup? if not, how do I start making the other cup, should I look for the other extreme of the yarn ball??
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
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!
@@zheta2 That's great! Thank you for watching. Here is the link to the written pattern. illjay.com/collections/patterns/products/pdf-pattern-easy-bikini-top
This is a great video! I’ve followed along but found i have big holes in the turning stitches, with 5 half double crochet stitches in. Do you have any advice to avoid these?

this was so good, i just learned how to crochet 2 days ago and i already made this. it’s super easy and super cute for beginners😁😁
That’s amazing you picked it up so quickly! Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. It was so easy to make i won’t lie. I made mine in less than 24hrs.
Woohoo!
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.
This is the easiest top I have ever made for my granddaughter. I love the look, and even better, my granddaughter loves ❤️ it!
Thank you! I tried to make it as easy and straightforward as possible
Thank you so much!! I just changed colors beetween rows and it looks majestic!❤❤
Nice! Thanks for watching
Your teaching is great! I love this thank you
Thank you! 😊 enjoy!
@@crochet.with.illjayI would like to show you my result how can I do that
Amazing tutorial! But I have a lot bigger gaps/holes where I increased… any tips?
I want to go on a date with my guy next month in the beach but believe me I will start making this as from tomorrow

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 goodness you set it offf fabulous tutorial. Easy THX !!!!!
Thank you! Enjoy :)

Holy shitsnacks, that was easy….

The tutorial was so easy for me considering how to beginner, but I just didn’t know how to tie off😂
This was too cute ❤ putting this on my to-do list
Thanks! Your video is so good! Youre a great teacher, thank u
Thank you 😊 enjoy
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial!
You are so welcome!
Do you have a tutorial for a matching bottom? Very easy pattern to follow. Thanks
Thank youuu so so much for this video you were incredibly detailed with your instructions and it allowed me to make my first bikini top 🎉🎉🎉
That’s awesome! So glad it was helpful for you 😊
I tried my, it was good 😊❤
love it! just finished the first cup, but I'm a bit confused. should I now cut the excess yarn to be able to make the other cup? if not, how do I start making the other cup, should I look for the other extreme of the yarn ball??
You can just cut the yarn and start the second cup with the same yarn. Don’t cut after the second cup though, you can continue from here.
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!
Thank you so much❤... I managed to make one🎉
Woohoo! Good job
very nice of you to post this amazing tutorial thank you so much
Its now that I've seen your channel. Thanks for that.
Welcome Sweetie!
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
Perfect, my sister wanted a bikini, and this is just perfect for beginners. (I don't know if I spelled that corectly)
Yesss I finally did it!!! Thanks so much for the help!!! Love it so much!!! ❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you so glad you love it.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial ❤ Really appreciate 😊
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!
Ended up making a tank top out of this:) thanks for getting me started ❤ you're very talented
Thank you Ana!
Thanks! Mine turned out great. Awesome tutorial.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it helpful!
Very easy to follow. Thank you
Yay! Thank you!
This helped a lot, but where I have my increases the holes are so big!!
This was such a good tutorial. Thank u so much
very easy thank you !
You are welcome!
Do you have a written pattern for this top. I love it and want to make it
I am working on the written pattern now, it will be available in a day or two :) will post a link.
@@crochet.with.illjay hi. Your tutorial was good enough. I finished my top and it came out beautiful. Thank you for this video
@@zheta2 That's great! Thank you for watching. Here is the link to the written pattern. illjay.com/collections/patterns/products/pdf-pattern-easy-bikini-top
Thanks so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank you I would like to see more of your patterns
New pattern coming soon! 😊
Hi! I’m an 11 year old doing this pattern. At 19 stitches for the like padding area, it’s a bit too big for me already, is that ok?
Thank you 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
How many stitches do u recommend for a med/large ?
No matter what tutorial i watch and how i follow the steps it's always shorter but it's coming out better than expected
for the first cup, did you cut the string to start connecting the second one?
I did, yes…
This was a little difficult for me to understand :/ I got lost when you started to go around
Same
Preach babe
Beau❤ beautiful 😻
This is a great video! I’ve followed along but found i have big holes in the turning stitches, with 5 half double crochet stitches in. Do you have any advice to avoid these?
That does tend to happen… you can try to do these stitches a bit tighter, but there will be a smallish hole.
Hey! Looks like a perfect tutorial - I just have one question (as I'm quite new in crocheting) - what kind of wool should i buy? How did you guys do?
Thanks Ari! Welcome to my channel. Your best bet is to use a cotton or an acrylic yarn. I would not recommend wool.
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.
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 :)
Thanks this really help alot
You are welcome!
Hi this was a little easy for me but I am a fast learner
Nice 🙌🏼
This was a very good tutorial but I wanted to light everything on fire so many times
Careful, acrylic is flammable! 😆
Such and easy and amazing pattern! Did mine in two separate colors:)
Thanks so much Kiersten!
You are the best one to follow for this
Can ya please please do a bottom ? I need a suit for my neighbor
Thanks Melody! I’ll consider doing a pattern for bottoms this spring.

Thank you 😁
Hello, once I made a triangle I just cut the string? How to I close the end of the first triangle?

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
Thank you easy I’ll post video
Very helpful and easy to follow pattern
Thank you! Enjoy
What do I do when I already cut the second cup off?
I would either fasten on with new yarn or magic knot the ends and keep going
How do i fasten on with new yarn?
I so much love your work, I watched your video and I made my own crochet bra the same day 😊😊 and am so in love with it. Can’t wait to do more of it🥰🥰
Thanks so much Bella! I’m glad you love your top :)
WOW so beautiful ❤❤
