Hi, I’m Candice and welcome to the place you are meant to be 😌🪴🌼 I make easy to follow crochet tutorials, with an element of nature, (because everyone deserves to learn in a calm and caring environment) and post vlogs about living a slow and sustainable life (even in the city of Singapore). Slow and Sustainable Fashion and Living for all 🥰
The golden one with the bushy tail is a rescue from Singapore (Atlas) we aren’t sure what make up he has. And then the younger, naughtier one (Archer) is a whippet Saluki cross 🥰
The size of your squares will depend on the yarn and the hook size you use, you can make them perfect for you by dividing your bust size by 4 and that’s the length of one square. I am traveling at the moment so don’t have my top with me to give you my exact measurements but please do try one square and see if you need to change your hook size to make it smaller or bigger to fit you! 😌❤️
I worked in cm but by dividing your bust size by 4 in either cm or inches you will get the size of what one of your squares should be 😊❤️ I hope this helps!
I would suggest maybe one or two rows of increases so it appears that the bust comes out a bit but fit it on as you go and then you can get the perfect sizing for you 😊 x
I’m sorry to hear that! You might have one too many stitches on the previous row. Remember some chains don’t count as stitches. I really hope this helps! ❤️ good luck and let me know xx
With the yarn weight and hook size I used, it is actually a little too big for me so I’d say this top is a 40 in size, like a medium or so. It’s best to take measurements and then divide it by 4 to know how big your squares need to be to fit 😊❤️ you can up a hook size or create more borders around the edge of the squares to make them larger! 🌸
You will need to use a very light weight yarn, like a cotton thread type yarn to make the squares a lot smaller 😊 you can also use a different type of granny square that doesn’t need as many rounds so you can keep them rather small. I’m sure you will make a wonderful top for your niece! 🥰👏🏼
You are so kind! Thank you Soo much for saying that x it does have a little weight to it yes, but with thicker straps it holds nicely and it feels lovely around the legs. ❤️
Absolutely stunning and gorgeous & no words to describe! Reminds me of all the insane amounts of beautiful bluebells in the UK🇬🇧 ❤ thank you for such a stunning visual treat ❤ piece of art that hat is and this whole video as it is 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼❤️❤️❤️
😍🤩 you’ve made my heart very happy!! Thank you for saying this, I truly appreciate it so much. It’s crazy that the bluebells are only around for a short while every year.. I’m already excited for next year 😂 sending love! 🥰❤️👏🏼
@@forestfeatherfashionyour flower crown tutorial we followed not just for flower crowns but also for wrapping a special birthday present for a little girl 🎁 we had been given lots of scraps of yarn from the local library where it is possible to swap craft items & supplies and even garden produce and plants! We live in a tiny but epic community! And that yarn we used to create flowery ribbons following your instructions to decorate a big box! It looked so epic! My daughter was helping me, she loves to crochet and now she said we should never ever buy any ribbons or tapes for gift wrapping but always do this because it looked magical ❤ thank you for sharing your gifts so generously ❤ truly appreciated ❤
I want to make this dress for my girlfriend. She's quite shy and wouldn't wear the dress if she feels too exposed. How do you feel about the holes in the granny square ? Are you wearing an other layer under or your underwear dirrectly ?
I totally understand how she feels, this is why I usually wear a bikini underneath my dress. Or you can actually sew some material on the inside of the dress too. I will make a video on how to do this soon 😊 You could also make a simple boob-tube type dress in a similar colour to wear underneath it. I hope this helps and that you enjoy making this for your girlfriend! 😍🫶🏼
The number of rows depends on how big your cushion is 😊 it’s best to do a fitting every now and then when making. Crochet stretches a bit so make sure it’s slightly too small rather than too big. Hope this helps! ❤️
I’m using a lighter weight cotton and some yarn blends for the flowers but you can use worsted to add some texture and dimension! You can play around with the different weights and types of flowers to find what you like the most 😊🌸 hope this helps!
It would actually be better for your hair to use cotton yarn! 😄 I just used different types of scraps I had around for the flowers ❤️ thank you for your lovely comment x
No stress! Chain 1, cut your yarn and then pull the yarn tail through the chain 1 to make a knot ❤️ pull it nice and tightly so it won’t come undone. Hope this helps! Let me know xx
Magical 🙏🏾 thank you for sharing your gift so generously ❤ my daughter has her 9th birthday coming up, we crochet lots together and to all her friends who come to her forest birthday party we give wooden slingshots and crochet gifts. We will make a few of these to give to the girls ❤ thank you so much for such a fantastic tutorial ❤
This is such an amazing comment… you and your daughter have absolutely made my day! 🥰 thinking about all the girls running around with crochet flowers in their hair makes me so happy haha Have the best time crocheting and happy birthday to your daughter. Much love, Candice x
Hi Patricia! Greetings from Singapore, thank you for your comment 😊 This blouse can be made longer by adding more rounds onto the granny square. From the neck down to the end (corner to corner), mine is about 18inches long. Hope this helps! 🌸
Hello thank you for the tutorial, I wish you would’ve shown how to weave the straps to tie in the back, other than that wonderful tutorial Thanks again!
It looks really good but it is very small for me :/ So for someone with medium size especially if you have bigger boobs this top probably won’t fit you.
You can always add another few rounds around the end of each granny squares to make them larger or use a heavier weight yarn! You can also use a mesh style chain go join each square to add more space between them, this will make the top bigger ❤️ hope this helps! :)
I see!! Well… Christmas is coming up and I’m sure there is a lucky lady in your friendship group who would appreciate it as a gift. Please try it again and add a few more rows of a simple double crochet around each square to make it a bit larger for you 😊 Thank you for your comment though, I aim to make my videos (and patterns) better for everyone. Much appreciated and much love x
You can start placing the leaves into the left loop of the chain then the right side and even in the back loop of the chain… this way it twists slightly 🌻 I hope this helps!
