Crochet with Me: Creating an Off-Shoulder Fur Trim Top

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel! Today, we're diving into another fun crochet project: an off-shoulder fur trim top. I've been loving these more relaxed "crochet with me" sessions, and this idea for a trendy top has me excited. Let's jump right into the crochet adventure!

Introduction

Hey, it's your girl Jade! I'm here again with another crochet project, and this time I wanted to share my idea for an off-shoulder fur trim top. If you're looking for a cute and stylish garment to add to your wardrobe, then this tutorial is for you. So, let's get started!

About the author

Before we dive into the crochet project, let me introduce myself. I'm Jade, a passionate crocheter and content creator. I love sharing my creative ideas and inspirations with all of you. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, I hope my tutorials and projects bring you joy and inspire your own creations.

Purpose of the crochet with me video

The purpose of this crochet with me video is to guide you through the process of creating an off-shoulder fur trim top. I'll be demonstrating each step, explaining my techniques, and sharing tips and tricks along the way. Whether you're following along or just taking inspiration, I hope you enjoy this crochet adventure with me.

Overview of the off-shoulder fur trim top project

Let's talk about the project we'll be tackling today. I had this idea for an off-shoulder top with a fur trim, and I'm excited to bring it to life. It's a trendy and chic garment that can be dressed up or down, perfect for a night out or a casual day.

Gathering the materials

Before we get started with the crochet project, let's gather all the necessary materials. Here's what you'll need:

• Black worsted yarn
• Fur trim yarn (I recommend yarn b guilt eyelash)
• 4mm crochet hook

I opted for black yarn for the base of the top, and the fur trim will add a touch of glamour. You can choose any colors that suit your style and preferences.

The author's choice of yarn and fur trim

For this project, I'm going to use the I Love This Yarn brand of black worsted yarn from Hobby Lobby. It's a high-quality yarn that I find easy to work with. As for the fur trim, I've chosen the Yarn B Guilt Eyelash yarn. It has a glittery, opalescent effect that adds a touch of luxury to the top.

Planning the design

Before we pick up our crochet hooks, it's essential to plan out the design. I like to use a crochet journal to draw out my ideas and visualize the finished piece.

Drawing and visualizing the desired top design

Grab a pen and paper and sketch out your vision for the off-shoulder fur trim top. Don't worry if you're not an expert at drawing; the purpose is to have a visual representation of your idea. You can also make notes and jot down measurements to refer to throughout the project.

Using a crochet journal for mapping out the project

If you're a crochet enthusiast like me, you might find it helpful to have a crochet journal. This journal is specifically designed for planning and organizing your crochet projects. It's a great way to keep track of patterns, stitch counts, and measurements. If you're interested in purchasing one, I have crochet pattern journals available on my Etsy shop and website.

Starting the crochet project

Now it's time to pick up our crochet hooks and get started on the off-shoulder fur trim top!

Choosing the appropriate number of chains

To begin, we need to determine the number of chains needed for the foundation row. I've decided to start with 82 chains for the first row. However, I'll try it on after completing a few rows to ensure the size is just right.

Trying on the initial rows for size adjustment

After completing a few rows, it's important to try on the project to ensure it fits properly. If necessary, we can make adjustments by adding or reducing stitches in the subsequent rows. This step ensures that the top will fit comfortably and flatteringly.

I hope you're excited about this project! In the next part, we'll dive deeper into crocheting the body of the top. Stay tuned for the next step in this off-shoulder fur trim top crochet adventure!
