  • In this video I show you how to take your measurements and explain how they relate to the construction of crocheted garments. I use two types of cardigans as my examples.

    I have a question: If I have a crochet store and I want the measurements to be perfect for the customers, should I follow the measurement chart in the PDF? Will that be enough?

    Thank you so much for this, very educational! Im looking into measurements because i just made a spencer kind of top that doesnt fit at all in the front. 😅
    Do you have any tips on how to use these measurements to create more fitting (a little ease) bottom-up style crochet top with declines at the armholes as well as a vneck style?

    • @toyainstitches
      @toyainstitches  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh no 😅 we've all been there!
      I have video for a top that will show you how to work out the v-neck (I'll link it below). For armhole shaping you would work decreases (decreasing by 1- 2 inches) once you get to the base of the armhole. To figure out when to start the decreases subtract your armhole depth from the total length of the top.
      For example: a top that is 15 inches long with an armhole depth of 6 inches, 15 - 6 = 9, so you would work from the bottom up until the top was 9 inches long and then work decrease along the edges over 2 or more rows depending on how many inches you want to decrease by. (I hope this makes sense) ❤

    For the first sweater's measurements, please why do we divide the bust measurement by 4?

    • @toyainstitches
      @toyainstitches  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@gracehusaini901 the bust measurement is divided in 4 because the width of the panel is only a 1/4 of your bust measurement and the panel is made long then folded in half and draped over one side of the body. Check out my Breezy Tee tutorial where I use this same method of garment construction.

    If you’re doing a business base on bikini, what are the measurements to take from customers and how would you know how many rows and chains?

    • @toyainstitches
      @toyainstitches  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've never made a bikini bottom but if you type "crochet bikini bottom measurement" into google search then click images it will bring up some detailed diagrams of what measurements to take. This is one project that I would highly reccomend making a gauge swatch In order to figure out rows and chains because the sizing has to be precise. I hope this helps a little❤

    Why are we folding the front panels in half?

    • @toyainstitches
      @toyainstitches  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      When working with two long panels where each panel covers one side of the body (left side and right rather than front and back)from the hemline in the front to the hemline at the back and is seamed in the center (down the back and/or front).
      Each panel must be folded in half at the shoulder.
      Does this answer your question? I hope I didn’t confuse you further.
      If I didn’t answer or misunderstood the question please give me a rough time stamp of the section of the video you need me to clarify.
