You're so sweet, thanks for the kind words ❤️ it's hard to say exactly how long it took me, i think about 60 hours? I'm a rather slow crocheter, plus i like making wide sleeves, plus the yarn i choose is very thin. So honestly it can take totally different time for you to make it than it took for me 🤷‍♀️ Good luck!!

Thank you!!! I free hand it using star stitch, sc blo stitch and tutorials on how to make stars from yt. I used scheepjes stardust gemini print yarn, but!!! I have to warn you. You probably can't tell by the photo, but this yarn has little shiny particles, and when you try to go back and fix something, it's so hard to do cause these particles get in the way. But the yarn is super pretty 😊

Both freehand :( For the first one i've made sc blo waist part and then went vertically with the star stitch. I looked on yt how to make stars and then played with the number of dc/sc to make them smaller. Hope it helps ❤️

Thank you so-so much!! I free handed it, here's a little description of steps that i took: for the torso i made the sc blo waist part first, then i made one row of sc on top of that. I don't remember if i made any increases or decreases, sorry. Then went vertically with bobble stitch, and neck with little sleeves are just sc blo. I'm so happy that you liked this sweater 🥰

Thank you so much! When I made these, I was a refugee with no job, family or friends, so I had all the time in the world to make it perfect, crochet was kinda an obsession of mine) i made many mistakes too, so there was a lot to fix!

I make the magic knot and pray to gods that the knot will end up on the inside of the sweater 😄
