Level of Difficulty

Intermediate
While the crochet techniques used (such as double crochet, color changes, and using Stitch Fiddle) are accessible to beginners, this project requires detailed attention to measurements, colorwork, and assembly. Beginners may find the tutorial a bit challenging, but the creator breaks things down step by step to make it manageable.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create the Base Tube

  1. Begin with a slip knot, and chain a foundation row based on your bust size.
    • For reference, the creator used 77 chains for a 33–34 inch bust.
  2. Count Your Chains: Keep track of how many chains you made since this number will determine the graph customization for your ghost design.
  3. Chain three additional chains and begin the first row with double crochets (DC) into each chain.
  4. At the end of the row, chain three, turn your work, and repeat double crochets back across.
  5. Once you’ve completed a few rows of basic double crochet, prepare for color changes in the upcoming rows.

2: Prepare the Graph and Incorporate Color Changes

  1. Go to the provided Stitch Fiddle link to access the ghost pattern chart.
    • Customize the graph to match the number of chains you used. The tutorial walks you through editing the graph in Stitch Fiddle (you may need to create a free account).
  2. Follow the graph to integrate color changes using dark green and light green yarn.
    • To change colors, finish the last two loops of a stitch using the new yarn color. Crochet over yarn tails to secure them.
  3. Alternate between dark and light green stitches as per the graph.

3: Assemble the Tube

  1. Once the front panel is completed, connect the two edges to form a tube using slip stitches.
    • Turn the “good side” of the project inward and align the edges.
    • Loosely slip stitch to avoid bunching.
  2. Turn the project right side out.
  3. Optional: Adjust the slip-stitched seam with matching yarn colors if needed.

4: Create the Sleeves

  1. Use blue yarn to make the sleeves.
    • Chain enough (e.g., 35 chains) to wrap around your shoulder. The creator suggests adding 2–3 more chains for comfort.
    • Slip stitch the chain ends together to create a circle.
  2. Begin double crochets with chain-one gaps for a mesh sleeve effect.
  3. Continue making double crochet rows until the sleeve reaches the desired length (e.g., wrist-length).
  4. Repeat for the other sleeve.

5: Add the Back Panel

  1. Use blue yarn to crochet a small rectangular back panel to connect the sleeves.
    • The back panel uses alternating double crochets and chain-one gaps for a consistent look.
    • Adjust the panel length based on the top’s stretch.
  2. Sew the back panel to the inside edges of the sleeves.
    • The creator recommends sewing instead of slip stitching for flexibility.

6: Adjust Fit and Secure the Top

  1. Try the top on and attach the sleeves to the front body to match your measurements.
  2. Reinforce the neckline with single crochet rounds to tighten as needed and fill any gaps.
    • Continue rounds until the neckline fits securely.

7: Add the Ghost Design

  1. Use black yarn to embroider the eyes and a smile on the white ghost panel.
  2. Carefully sew the ghost design in place on the front of the top.
    • Adjust positioning as needed by trying on the top and marking the ideal location.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  • Test the fit often: Try on the top at various stages to ensure an accurate fit.
  • Be gentle with color changes: Loose tension during color changes prevents pulling or bunching.
  • Customize the sizing: Use Stitch Fiddle to ensure the ghost motif is scaled properly for your bust measurement.
  • Use what you have: For black and white yarn, small leftover amounts are enough—you don’t need to buy entire skeins.
  • Avoid slip stitching tight areas: Sew the back panel instead of slip stitching for greater flexibility.

Tip

While working on the ghost design or adding details, use removable pins or safety pins to test placement before permanently sewing or stitching. This helps ensure all design elements are aligned and balanced.

Uses of the Top

  • Fashion Statement: Showcase your crochreting skills with a trendy, handmade crochet top.
  • Themed Outfits: Perfect for fans of Phoebe Bridgers or as part of a Halloween-themed outfit.
  • Gift Idea: Create a customized version of the top as a gift for another music lover.

Conclusion

The crochet pattern for the Phoebe Bridgers-inspired top is a creative project that combines artistic flair with a trendy design. While the techniques require some attention to detail, the end result is a personalized, handmade wearable that’s both fashionable and meaningful.
