Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Measurement is Key: The tutor emphasizes measuring yourself as you go. Since yarn tension varies, rely on your tape measure rather than a specific stitch count.
-
Hook Size: Use a slightly larger hook for the ruffle (Round 2 onwards) to give the fabric a softer, more flowy drape.
Conclusion
This off-shoulder top is a fantastic project for learning how to garment-build with simple rectangular panels. Its versatility allows you to make it a full-length top or a short bralette-style crop just by adjusting the initial chain length.
Helpful Tip:
To prevent the off-shoulder neckline from sliding down, you can weave a thin piece of elastic thread through the first row of single crochets at the neckline. This provides extra “grip” without changing the look of the ruffles.
