Finished Size Approximately: S-XL easy to adjust

This top is made in size  small. the other sizes are easy to adjust by  just add more chain to make it wider . see pattern detail below for bigger size. For me the model wearing this piece, I am 4’9 feet tall.

Measurement.

-15 inches long

-14 inches wide

This top is made from top down.

We will make this  summer top from top to bottom.

Start  by Pick up crochet hook size 3.0  mm and Start of by making a slip knot Then make 30 chains ( All size )  (foundation chain in even number)

yellow, Row1: make 1dc in the next chain from hook and across until the end of the row, ch2 turn.

yellow, Row2. now you will work 2dc  in first stitch then 1dc in each stitch across until end of the row on the last st make 2dc. ch2 turn.

white, Row3. now you will work 2dc  in first stitch then 1dc in each stitch across until end of the row on the last st make 2dc. ch2 turn.

Row 4-12. repeat row3. and we will switch up the color by use yellow color for 2 row and white color for 1 row.

On this row13. we will start to make a body of the top.

 Row13. now you will work 2dc  in first stitch then 1dc in each stitch across until end of the row on the last st make 2dc.  then ch6 ( size small) turn.

then ch6 ( size small) turn. add chain on each side or you can add more chain to increase your size that will fit you bust.

ch12 ( size medium) turn.

ch18 ( size large) turn.

ch 24 ( size XL) turn.

 Row14: make 1dc in the next chain from hook and in each st across until the end of the row, ch2 turn.

 Row15: make 1dc in the next chain from hook and across until the end of the row, ch2 turn.

Row 16 and beyond ,….Repeat row 15 and switch up color until  you get 13 inch long. or your desired length and we will start to making the bow.

Make the bow.

When we get to 13 inch long for the body length now we will start to chain about 50 for shorter bow or 100 chain for longer bow , if you guy love your bow longer then you will add more chain for example 120, 140…. etc.. as you can see in the photo above.

Then row1. we will make dc in each chain and stitch across until the end of the row, ch2 turn.

We will  repeat row1 until you get about 2 inch thick for the bow, if you want the bow bigger you and repeat row1 until you get your thickness of bow like 3 or 4 inch thick. The bigger bow the better.

After we finished first piece then we repeat the same process for the second piece.

After we got 2 pieces , now it’s time to assembly.

Assembly.

Lay 2 pieces in flatted on top of each other.

Then sew on the side, for the bow area no sew for have space to tie up. see photo below.

Make strap for the top.

join new yarn then chain 25 and connect the end of chain to the back piece.

Now time to making the armhole look pretty.

After we create the armhole, now it’s time to make it pretty.

by sc around the arm hole for 1 round including the strap.

then ch2, *dc,ch1, skip1 st then dc in next stitch* repeat * to * around the armhole. Fasten off.

And repeat the same for the other side of the armhole.

All done !

Hi. I love your patterns but your hook sizes seems a little off. For this pattern you say to use a 2.3 mm hook for a aran weight yarn, but then in the pictures it seems like you´re using a 3 mm hook.

It seems almost impossible to use anything less than 3 mm hook for an aran weight yarn.

Am I right or just confused? :-)

Hi Tonda, If you leave the bow, it will be very easy just leave out at the bow instruction by that I mean no chains at the bottom of the top.
