Thanks for making this! I've been struggling to figure out how to make a bolero without the front part. For the cuffs, you could also just crochet it in while working on the whole rectangle! You already measured and accounted for the cuffs before starting, so you could just start off your chain row with the number of stitches you need for the cuffs (using the smaller needle), then chain how many for the main part of it using the bigger needle, and finish with the smaller needle and the chains for the cuffs again. This way, you only need to seam the sleeves together :)
I actually do not recommend this method! This is how I tried making the pattern the first time, and I found it much more clunky to have to change my hook size 3 times/ row and found that it messed with my tension 🥲
i am SO excited to make this. my first crochet project and the thing that got me into crocheting was making a bolero and it’s great but looking back there were something’s that could improve so i’m so excited to try this pattern after crocheting for a while now☺️😊
Love your tutorial. You've explained many tips such as joining a new yarn ball and ribbing on the cuff. Luckily I have about the same body as you have😃 So I just use your measurement. Less math calculation to do.😋 Subscribed✅
i started this pattern two weeks ago and i love how its coming along!! though i started with 196 chains and its somehow shrunk to 188…im pretty sure i missed a few in my first rounds but fingers crossed it still turns out okay 🤞
Thanks for this tutorial. I’m wanting to do this for my toddler to wear at dance class. I have very minimal experience with crochet so wish me luck lol
Please help!! I used a different yarn size and I endet up doing 80 rows instead of 55, which made the sleeve hole way bigger. Because of that, my cuffs endet up being wayyy too wide and not at all tight like in the video. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue/ adjust the measurements?
Saw this and instantly grabbed my stuff to start and then i saw the 2 pairs of socks and beanie that im halfway through finishing... so now do i start this bolero or finish my wips🥲🥲
I'm just starting this and having this problem, did either of you figure it out? The first row took me 3 hours and I'm really struggling because now this 2nd row is like spiraling??
Dear Yaejiyea, thank you so much for this awesome tutorial❤️❤️ I was wondering if it‘s also possible to use a smaller sized hook for the cuff sleeve? Like 3.0, or does it have to be a 3.5?🤗💕
it's so cute! thanks for the great tutorial! i looked it up, and apparently shrugs have short/no sleeves and boleros have long sleeves. like how sofas have arms and couches don't
Can someone help me, and tell me why mine starts to get wavy at the bottom and the stiches gets bigger with every row if i do it with yarning over only into the 3rd one.. I've watched it several times and had to pull rows out to try again but i just can't get it right, and going the way like hers
hi, im trying to make this but with fine cotton double pull (only one i have) im on my 3rd row and noticed that it was short. do you know how can i increase the length without frogging everything? 😭
It’s nice how you explain in detail every step ure doing. But I don’t understand the purpose in the decreases.... bc the backside is still lose against ur back.
It's not supposed to be tight on the back, it was just to cinch it in a little because I had made a previous version and without the decreases, the flap was much more apparent
Love the design without the front panel ! I'm just a bit confused, you say to go in the third loop, but in the video don't you just go in the front loop ? I'm new to crochet so maybe I'm missing something here. Great video !
So when you look at the top of your work there will be a “v” which is your stitch. If you turn your work away from you, you will see a second “v” on the side of your work. You want to go into that bottom loop which is the 3rd loop. Hope that helps
Does the yarn size matter? I tried using 7mm yarn and i swear its not coming together right 😭😭 it keeps on curling and gets a lot of smaller than the calculated length as i go on to make more rows for the shrug panel
I am so confused with the “double crochet into the third loop” that makes it shrink? I don’t understand and no one seems to properly explain in the comments
OMG!! finally one without the front panel😭 THANK YOU💗
Fr
Same reason I clicked on this video 😭
👍
Wtf u guys r so smart I was struggling with the math part for a min…
😂😅
Mee too tell me plzz how she did

@yaejiyea ooooh i see :0
i ended up not changing my hook size and it turned out alright, just that my cuffs aren't a snug fit around my wrist.
immediately subscribed, love that you explain the math/measurement side of crochet
Ahhh I’m so excited to make this! I’m in school for engineering rn and I love that you apply all your knowledge to crocheting!! 💕💕💕

The reason why I love this clothing is so I could show off my tops without having it be covered by a bulky jacket and still be warm
spent the whole of summer trying to make one of these thank you so much ! So excited to try + hopefully I can finally get it right😭🥹
this is one of the best tutorials of all time. Havent made it yet, but just the way you explained the math
so cute! I love the blue yarn and I’m so excited to try this! Thanks for the tutorial 💜

YESS !! Can't wait to follow along once I finish my bow tank top. Thank you for your videos ! 💙
thank uuuu ive been wanting to make one and couldn't find a tutorial that i liked :'))
i started this pattern two weeks ago and i love how its coming along!! though i started with 196 chains and its somehow shrunk to 188…im pretty sure i missed a few in my first rounds but fingers crossed it still turns out okay 🤞

GIRL NAH YOU BRINGING ME BACK TO BEDMASS 😭😭
LOL stay in school, kids! Math helps you crochet :))
11:26 I really do understand the shrug panel guide. Is it meant to be every third loop from the hook
I'm wondering this too!!
I'm just starting this and having this problem, did either of you figure it out? The first row took me 3 hours and I'm really struggling because now this 2nd row is like spiraling??
OMG! FINALLYYYY!!! THANK YOU❣️❣️
I love it!! ♡
Thankyou I am waiting for this tutorial 💗

Yes! You can change up the hook size to your preference 😊
it's so cute! thanks for the great tutorial!
i looked it up, and apparently shrugs have short/no sleeves and boleros have long sleeves. like how sofas have arms and couches don't
Ohh that's so good to know, thank you!
Is there a written pattern?
How many skeins of yarn did you use?
Can someone help me, and tell me why mine starts to get wavy at the bottom and the stiches gets bigger with every row if i do it with yarning over only into the 3rd one.. I've watched it several times and had to pull rows out to try again but i just can't get it right, and going the way like hers
I also don't understand what she means by going into the third stitch only, surely its going to turn into a triangle, please someone explain );
I follow you on instagram and absolutely love your ideas videos posts and I have been waiting for this tutorial, thank you so much
The math part guurl😂 i'm already lost
hi, im trying to make this but with fine cotton double pull (only one i have) im on my 3rd row and noticed that it was short. do you know how can i increase the length without frogging everything? 😭
Is there a written pattern for this please?
love this tutorial and def going to have to try this out! where did you get your corset top, its so cute
I think it was from H&M!
It’s nice how you explain in detail every step ure doing. But I don’t understand the purpose in the decreases.... bc the backside is still lose against ur back.
It's not supposed to be tight on the back, it was just to cinch it in a little because I had made a previous version and without the decreases, the flap was much more apparent
came for a crochet tutorial, left with math tutoring lesson 😁
Haha brings me back to my old tutoring days 😅
I came back to this tutorial because I wanna make it. Can you use weight 4 yarn? I just don’t wanna go buy new yarn lol
Yea, it'll just be a bit thicker!
Love the design without the front panel ! I'm just a bit confused, you say to go in the third loop, but in the video don't you just go in the front loop ? I'm new to crochet so maybe I'm missing something here. Great video !

@@gianniw3488 It did ! Thank you :)
What do you think is the best beginner kit for crocheting
Unsure, I've never bought a crochet kit for wearables before!
a first row that's made up of loops, and we did a half double crochet, does it count as a first row or not?
I usually don't count the chains as a first row, just the first row of actual stitches
Does the yarn size matter? I tried using 7mm yarn and i swear its not coming together right 😭😭 it keeps on curling and gets a lot of smaller than the calculated length as i go on to make more rows for the shrug panel
ive frogged it about 3 times and its just so weird
if anyone knows my mistake pls lmk i rlly want to make this shrug 😞
Im not sure what the problem might be but try keeping a light tension and use a bigger hook
I am so confused with the “double crochet into the third loop” that makes it shrink? I don’t understand and no one seems to properly explain in the comments
What do you mean? There is no doubt crochet in this tutorial
Can you please tell how many meters of yarn is required approximately
She used approx 718 meters but it depends on your measurements
I can’t understand 😢 maths i am 4.11 how many chain for me 😅😂😢😢😢
Do 172 stitches😅😊
I I recommend you doing half double crochet if you are beginner and it will be faster that way
help me i have discacula and this is the devil i don’t even know how to multiply properly or add
What's your height? She's 5'5" so it's 190 stitches, and I'm 5'8" so mine would be about 200 stitches
i am way too fucking stupid for this math i am so confused 😭😭😭
doing this for my graduation due June 11 with limited amount of yarn. Pray for me
Now, I've decided not to do the FLO for the rectangle panel so that it won't take up much yarn
When did you start?? I need this for a winter concert at scl.
Lmao i gave up bcoz of the math😓
Broo ! Whats that math 😰🤯
First 🌟
yes girl give us math 💅 we love our women in stem🤌🔥
math helps with crochet I swear! 😝
