You can use elastic, or maybe a stretchy thread through the top most row. As long as you try it on before tying it off, you could wiggle around and make sure it sits right

Thanks! I thought about using an elastic but all of my sewing supplies are all packed up and I don’t have access to them so I just decided to do a row of crochet haha

Literally just bought the same yarn to try to freehand this today after being easily influenced. Would love a pattern link if possible!
@made.byalena
@made.byalena Месяц назад
I didn’t follow a pattern but I just did a chain about the length of my chest, and then did shell stitches in the round (5 double crochet in 1 stitch, skip 2 stitches and do a single crochet in the 3rd stitch, skip 2 stitches and do 5 double crochets in the 3rd stitch) all the way around and join it at the beginning by either a single crochet in the beginning or 2 double crochets and a slip stitch - depending on the row (I would look up how to do shell stitch in the round) Then when the tube was as long as I wanted it, I marked where I wanted my sleeves making it even, and then chained the length of a sleeve and just did shell stitch back and forth for a couple rows and then did a few rows where i didnt go all the way to the end (so that it would be a cap sleeve shape) and then did a few more rows all the way to the end to kind if even it out. It was all freehand but maybe I'll film a tutorial in more detail! hope this helps - sorry i dont have a written pattern

Okay I got to 7:50 and now I’m stuck and confused :-(
@made.byalena
@made.byalena Месяц назад
Hi! I decreased exactly the same way as I did the front panels by doing a decrease and ending one early. The only difference is that the back panel is double the size. Once I got to a couple rows before the end, I stopped decreasing and went straight up while also doing the neck shaping I talk about soon. Sorry I don’t know how to explain it better - where exactly are you confused?

The white vest with the pink ribbons, those you can wear 100 times, and I like how you put that double row of eyelet on the bottom of that blue top, do you wind the elastic on the bobbin or put the elastic down and zig zag, because I've never tried this. I hope you are feeling better and Have a lovely week
@made.byalena
@made.byalena 2 месяца назад
Thanks!! I hand wind the elastic in the bobbin and turn the stitch length and tension all the way up and it makes it stretchy!
