Here’s what I learned making this top in case it’s helpful to anyone else: - the linen stitch is less stretchy than a chain. You want your foundation chain to be at least 1-2” longer than the circumference of your waist. Stitch a few rows and try it again before you keep going. - the first few rows of the front panel will accommodate the gap between the waistband and your underbust. The increases after that are to accommodate your bust - larger bust = more frequent increases. - when yaeji says to do 2 increases per row, meaning 4 extra stitches per row, I thought she misspoke because I’m so used to single and double crochet. With the linen stitch, 1 increase involves an extra SC and chain stitch so the stitch count increases by 2. Do 1 increase on each side like she says. - don’t panic too much if the front panel feels gappy when you try it on. Hold it in place where the straps will be attached to get a better idea. Once you’ve done the straps, if the top is gaping between your bust and shoulder, shorten the straps to increase the tension on the side. - 100 chains feels like a lot for the chain ties at the end until you actually tie it. I would do at least 120. Good luck!
i know you did 20 slip stitches for starting the front panel of the top but for those of us who did a different size (different stitch numbers) could you recommend like where we should start based on body part? for example if try on the waist band like should it start on our sides, or near our front, or near the back?
I tried making this and the top ended up way too tight once I started the linen stitch (I even made the chain wider than my waist at 130 loops). Any advice? Or am I just crocheting too tight? 😭
so im at the part where im increasing the stitch and one end looks like a cute increase and when i get to the other side it pokes out wayyy too much and looks incinsistant. ive completely redid the line and add one increase on each side and it still looks ugly . idk what im doing wrong bc i wanna finish this top :(((
when i make the first row of linen stitch after the foundation chain the length decreases so much it doesn't fit my waist anymore. someone knows what can be the mistake i'm making?
after making the waist band and decreasing, how do you know when to stop those rows? you did 6 but i’m not sure where to stop for myself because no measurement was mentioned.
Hello! I’m in my local farmers market this summer and this is exactlyyyy the kind of top i’ve been looking to make… would it be alright if i made a few of these for the market and credited your pattern?? Thank you!!!
I've done the same 😮💨 I didn't attach my buttons, I was going to crochet some to attach at the end but now I'm wondering if I can attach a decorative panel of another stitch to save it, or is that going to look weird... I'll let you know how I get on! Already frogged this multiple times due to hidden knots in my yarn !
@@imani5401 that's probably an even smarter idea! I don't know why I didn't think of that :D I tried first attaching a chain of 9 to the bottom and adding another section of linen stitch that way but it was too gappy so I frogged back. Next I tried adding a row of SC to the button side, then changing into linen st going in the opposite direction which looked really cool, but I couldn't get the number of stitches per row of linen stitch perfect so it either got wider or narrower after the first 2 rows. I've just frogged to try AGAIN but if this doesn;t work ima just attach more loops so that it can lace up :)
nipple covers! these are the ones I use: tinyurl.com/2vjmt8yb they last a long time and stick really well as long as you wash them with soap and water after each use :)
Oii, vc sabe qual linha seria melhor pra fazer essa blusinha? pq eu fiz com uma 100% algodão e não estica tanto quanto a linha que ela usa no vídeo, então o caimento da blusa ficou diferente e as medidas tiveram que ser bem maiores, e ainda ficou um pouco apertado. Aí queria saber qual marca de linha br tem mais elasticidade igual a dela para eu fazer outra igual
Sure ! Your number of chains / rows needed will probably be different than the ones I provide, but as long as you are trying it on as you crochet, you should be just fine :)

tysm!!
I would be really thankful if you could also add the measurements in terms of inches or something... that sort of helps with different yarns to
came immediately from tiktok!! can’t wait to make this :))
came from tiktok the second I saw this top. Love it
11:12 now i get why i should've put the buttons in before starting to work this project.......
I did the exact same thing, but solved it by sewing the buttons directly onto the stitch afterwards :)
do you have measurements for this top for people who want to use different yarn sizes? i'd really appreciate it! 🥺 this top is so gorgeous
Yah, happy to say after many many many tries, I've successfully made this top!
i know you did 20 slip stitches for starting the front panel of the top but for those of us who did a different size (different stitch numbers) could you recommend like where we should start based on body part? for example if try on the waist band like should it start on our sides, or near our front, or near the back?
Almost forgot I buy 100 % cotton . I don’t like it has no shine .Can I ask which brand you use for 100% cotton
I tried making this and the top ended up way too tight once I started the linen stitch (I even made the chain wider than my waist at 130 loops). Any advice? Or am I just crocheting too tight? 😭
Maybe it's the type of yarn you're using? Some yarns tend to be less stretchier, so something like 100% cotton is usually stiff and hard to stretch
I did it, it was so cuteeee and so easy to make. Thank you sooo sooo muchhhh
Hi. Please I’m not understanding the sleeve explanation so well. Mine’s a lot shorter despite following your pattern
What should I do?
so im at the part where im increasing the stitch and one end looks like a cute increase and when i get to the other side it pokes out wayyy too much and looks incinsistant. ive completely redid the line and add one increase on each side and it still looks ugly . idk what im doing wrong bc i wanna finish this top :(((
Every time i do the waist band it keeps getting smaller and narrower do you have any tips on how I could prevent this?
You're probably missing a last stitch towards the left! I faced the same problem as a beginner
This is my favorite thing I’ve ever made thank you!!
Do you think this would work with weight 4 yarn? And what size crochet hook would you recommend? Love this ❤❤❤
hii can i follow this tutorial without adding buttons?
This is so beautiful. Can’t wait to make it for my daughter’s vacation to Portugal ❤
I'm honored ! Hope your daughter has a fun vacation :)
this seems simple but mine is turning out hmmm... idk.. it's not looking like this top anymore 😂
So excited to make this! Beautiful and very feminine
when i make the first row of linen stitch after the foundation chain the length decreases so much it doesn't fit my waist anymore. someone knows what can be the mistake i'm making?
i had the same issue, i just tried to crochet loosely and 2-4 inches longer than my waist to avoid it.
@@maxie786 thanks! i’ll try doing that
Hi! how much yarn did you use for this (in yard/feet/balls of yarn). I want to make it but I don’t want to risk not having enough!
I love it, would it also work with a double crochet? or half double?
work with dc?my yarn is extremely thin, sc would take me a long time
Has anyone tried this with bamboo yarn weight 1~
omg this so cute!!! what was the brand of yarn you used for this???
I used the Berroco pima soft cotton yarn I honestly really love their yarns and spend too much of my money on them lol
after making the waist band and decreasing, how do you know when to stop those rows? you did 6 but i’m not sure where to stop for myself because no measurement was mentioned.

I would be honored !!! Good luck at your farmers market !! :)) Happy crocheting !
hi!! can i make this without any buttonholes?
where does the waist section go up to? does it go up to the underbust and then the 6 rows and increases start?
Hi. Do you think i can make this one without the buttons?
Yea, totally! I've seen some crocheters make this pattern without the buttons and instead create a chain to make like a corset back instead!
why isnt youtibe letting me save this video!!
What if you decrease on the fourth row, when decreasing the sleeve? Is that still okay?
Nice thumb. Mine is like that as well
Is acrylic good for this one? Will it be too hot? Cause I saw that you don’t recommend it on the bow top
not speed
is there a way to make the top even wider on the sides after you are done with the top? The fabric shrinks quite a bit and now it doesn't fit...
try wet blocking
32 slst
did anyone try this using regular buttons?
I've actually seen someone create this with regular buttons ! I can't remember their handle, but it's definitely doable :)
almost finished my waist band just to realize that i made it too tight… anyone know if i can save this or should i start over?
I've done the same 😮💨 I didn't attach my buttons, I was going to crochet some to attach at the end but now I'm wondering if I can attach a decorative panel of another stitch to save it, or is that going to look weird... I'll let you know how I get on! Already frogged this multiple times due to hidden knots in my yarn !
maybe you could make it lace up in the back with yarn or ribbon instead of button so it could be adjusted
@@imani5401 that's probably an even smarter idea! I don't know why I didn't think of that :D

can i just use a normal single crochet stich ?
Yeah! It would just take you a bit longer
@@glitteratitia5585 thank youu
Do you have a written pattern???
what do you reckon the best thing to wear underneath is?
nipple covers! these are the ones I use: tinyurl.com/2vjmt8yb
they last a long time and stick really well as long as you wash them with soap and water after each use :)
What size were you buttons?
hi! how would you go about adding longer sleeves to this
Vim correndo do tiktok, vou correndo comprar linha pra fazer
Oii, vc sabe qual linha seria melhor pra fazer essa blusinha? pq eu fiz com uma 100% algodão e não estica tanto quanto a linha que ela usa no vídeo, então o caimento da blusa ficou diferente e as medidas tiveram que ser bem maiores, e ainda ficou um pouco apertado. Aí queria saber qual marca de linha br tem mais elasticidade igual a dela para eu fazer outra igual
uppp tbm quero saber 😭
What size are you making?
OMG YES I LOVE UR TUTORIALS
Yay ! Happy crocheting :)
can i use 5mm hook for this top? 🥺
Sure ! Your number of chains / rows needed will probably be different than the ones I provide, but as long as you are trying it on as you crochet, you should be just fine :)
can’t wait to try it!!
what kind of wool did you use??
I used a weight 3 cotton yarn :)
