So so cute Chandi... I love the simplicity of this pattern, this definitely will be on my to make list. I've just finished my first crocheted cardigan (even though I've been crocheting for over 15 yrs) as the fear of the unknown is real... I am so grateful for your encouragement, beautiful words not to mention the gorgeous yarns and patterns... Thank you Chandi, Tim and all the Expression Fibre Arts family 🙋🏻♀️💖
Oh my god, your voice is so soothing and addictive. Apart from crochet and pattern, its so nice and fun to just watching you. You look so gorgeous always 🥰🥰
I am dipping my toes into the world that is crocheting clothes! this is the first top i am going to make, I'm nervous about it but i've made the swatch and will do so again when the yarn arrives, fingers crossed for me. You look gorgeous in it and thank you for your bubbliness!! xxx
Yay! It's Friday so it must be "Chan-day" 🤣 I love this method for making a sweater. The technique for making the sleeve holes is quite clever and easy. Thanks, Chandi! ❤️😊
Love you to pieces Chandi! 🥰. If I need a pick me up I just go to youtube and watch one or two of your tutorials, your upbeat vibe and mood is contagious. You make my day. Thank you, 😍
I love your videos - not only informative and easy to follow, but your optimism and bubbliness is so appreciated. I would love to sit and have tea or coffee with you - I think it'd be amazing to spend a few hours just chatting with you!
Thanks for the feedback. I believe you can do this, but if you ever need additional assistance, feel free to email us at info@expressionfiberarts.com for pattern help.
Thank you for making a video that encourages people to crochet garments. When I started crocheting I never thought about making sweaters (I can't even sew, why would I want to make the fabric myself and stitch it all together?), but after trying it they became my favorite type of project. The more makers who get the courage to do it, the more we'll get to see lovely new patterns like this one =)
Okay, maybe I'm brave enough now to try a garment. This might be it! I love the cute little Barbie top you made. Thanks for your informational, cute and funny video!
Thanks for the positive vibe in all your vids. Love this pattern and technique to make it. Best of all love your handmade tops shelf. May your day be as special as you are.
Chandi, just wanted to leave a comment what a helpful video this is for beginners. I'm advanced but love watching these because I may find a tidbit or two. This is an adorable little pattern. I've never worked with fingering yarn on a top before but am starting to because of the minimal bulk and beautiful drape. I'm very skin sensitive and need smooth and soft so I'm going to try your yarn. It looks heavenly.
I've always prefered sewing to knitting and crochet, but decided this year to try crochet. I love the way your videos explain how to work the designs. I'm working my way towards completing my first complete crochet project. This will be on my to do list for sure
Racing to get this done within 3 weeks - not a lot of time considering the studying and working I've got to do before my beach holiday! Want to make this so I can wear with with some knitted trousers I bought recently for the beach. So looking forward to wearing it! Thank you for making this lovely pattern.
Thank you for doing this video. I've made a few tops already but the way you explained the crochet in the round concept, I have a much better understanding of the construction. I just ordered the yarn and can't wait to get it and get started! :)
Thank you for a clear explanation. I’ve made raglan sweaters before but never yoke style. Would love to try one now, the concept looks easy now that you explain it ❤️
Thanks much for doing this video!!! Been wanting to make sweaters for awhile but, YES I was intimidated. After hearing you explaining it & seeing, I feel like I can do it. Thank you!
Thank you Chandri for this video! I just received this pattern and have had some of your yarn waiting patiently for my first beginner top to crochet. Time to take the dive!
Oh Chandi, that little mini sample is adorable! This is a great tutorial! I don’t make many garments due to my weight but I have made sweaters over the past 40+ years. I think I may make this for my almost 22 year old granddaughter. I think it may be a nice surprise! I’m sure with all of my family it will fit someone, lol. This tutorial has been very helpful! Thanks so much! I hope you and Tim are enjoying your trip! Safe travels my Fabulous Friday Friend!💗🌸😊🌸💗
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I crocheted a top YEARS ago following another designers directions and it was a success BUT it was too big around the collar sleeve portion 😢 Since I have some of your yarn I will try this pattern ☺ So glad this us not knit (even tho I consider myself an adventurous knitter) I am very confident with crochet. Thanks Chandi for all you do & wish me luck😉
Chandi, you are so awesome! Love your videos, your yarns and your patterns. I have wanted to crochet a sweater for a long time, pretty sure this is the one I should do. Thank you
I love simplicity and I love this sweater, thank you Michelle F. for this design. Thank you Chandi for the video and your wonderful encouragement . I'm excited to make this sweater
This will be my first top down sweater. I'm almost finished. It'll be posted on my Instagram and tiktok and of course one of my guitar video! Thank you!
OMG, love it, you simplified something that could be intimidating, that you so much, I absolutely love watching your videos. You are fantastically gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing. 🤗🤗🤗❣️❣️❣️🤗🤗🤗🤠🤠🤠
U are absolutely adorable.... I have been wanting to make a top. I have Ur Kelaho top pattern that I would love to make and now I have this new one. I will be making both. Thank U.
You came up as an suggestion, I'm so glad I took the time out to watch you. Yes I did subscribe and I'm going to add you to my other yarny channels. Have a very blessed 4th of July 💜🙏💜
I tried my first crocheted sweater about 20-ish years ago when I was a college student. At the time I would have called it a disaster, but honestly the only problem was I didn't do a gauge swatch and it was about five sizes too big. It was a pretty hilarious moment when it literally fell down my body and landed around my ankles. Sadly, after that all I made for years were blankets and hats which I felt like didn't require as much attention to something like "gauge." lol This looks pretty straight forward, I think I'll give it a shot and not skip the swatch. :-)
I love your little blue sweater! So cute! And the top looks so cute too! I need to try crochet again... Every time I try, I end up with a really stiff fabric, but your looks like it's got plenty of drape!
Estoy enamorada de tus trabajos,como siempre!...,quiero darte las gracias por expresar con tus manos el desarrollo a seguir en el sweater mangas cortas,al no entender tu idioma creo que eres muy clara explicando gracias nuevamente te dejo un beso y un abrazo.hasta pronto! Goodbye ❤️🌹
Chandi, Thank you!!! Thank you so much for making this video!!! I’ve been avoiding making a top of any kind because I have been so afraid that it wouldn’t turn out right... I didn’t want to work really hard and have something no one would be willing to wear when I was done... But you have given me the confidence to try it out... Thank you for explaining that this is a beginner friendly pattern, and the process that will help me to be successful... I really appreciate that... Your positivity and encouragement are contagious! I do have a question though... Is it possible after you have made this top to extend the sleeves longer if you need too? I will make it exactly like the pattern to begin with, and I could be pleasantly surprised, but I am usually more comfortable with sleeves that are almost to my elbows...
I'm so glad you love it! That's a great question, you can totally extend the sleeves. Just keeping working the stitch pattern around the sleeve opening (just like you did for the body). If you'd like to look up another fingering weight sleeve pattern as a reference for what shape you want, that would be a great idea. :)
Omg, I had started a top almost 50 years ago, in some gorgeous yarn, top down raglan, stopped just before armhole, so maybe I can finish it...ttfn

Speak kind words to yourself. Something we should all do in all things. Something I need to get better at - Thanks for the encouragement ❤️
You are so welcome!
