The new video will be released on Sunday, do not miss it! Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my YOUTUBE channel for more videos.
We finished the previous video with 4 pieces (2 back parts and 2 front parts). You must finish each part with ch-6 spaces row. Now, I will make a chain piece that will stay between the 2 back parts. So, if you wear size L-XL you should make 8 ch spaces, and for S-M 5 ch spaces.
Ch-40(L-XL) ch-25 (S-M), sc in the 5th ch from the hook, (ch-5, skip next 4 chs, sc in next ch) repeat to the end of the row
Do not cut the thread. Join with sc to the 1st ch-6 space of the 1st back part detail. Start working in rounds.
Round 1: ch-3 (count as dc), 7 dc in same ch-6 space, * sc in next ch-6 space, ch-6, sc in next ch-6 space, 8 dc in next ch-6 space **, rep from * to ** once,
ch-3, dc in the 1st ch-6 space of the 1st front part detail, 7 dc in same ch-6 space, rep from * to ** to the end of the detail
ch-3, dc in the 1st ch-6 space of the 2nd front part detail, 7 dc in same ch-6 space, rep from * to ** to the end of the detail
ch-3, dc in the 1st ch-6 space of the 2nd back part detail, 7 dc in same ch-6 space, rep from * to ** to the end of the detail
(size S-M, 5 ch spaces) join with sc to the chain piece, ch-6, sc in next ch space, 8 dc in next ch space, sc in next ch space, ch-6, sc in next ch space, join with sl st to top of the ch-3.
Round 2: pull the loop, dc in the 1st dc, picot, (dc in next dc, picot) rep 5 times, dc in next dc, sc in next ch-6 space, * (dc in next dc, picot) rep 6 times, dc in next dc, sc in next ch-6 space **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the 1st dc
Round 3: ch-1, bpsc in the next dc, ch-6, skip next 2 dc, bpsc in next dc, ch-6, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc, * ch-6, bpsc in the 2nd dc of the next shell, ch-6, skip next 2 dc, bpsc in next dc, ch-6, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to ch-1
Round 4: ch-1, sc in next ch-6 space, ch-6, sc in next ch-6 space, 8 dc in next ch-6 space, * sc in next ch-6 space, ch-6, sc in next ch-6 space, 8 dc in next ch-6 space **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the ch-1
Round 5: pull the loop, turn, dc in the 1st dc, picot, (dc in next dc, picot) rep 5 times, dc in next dc, sc in next ch-6 space, * (dc in next dc, picot) rep 6 times, dc in next dc, sc in next ch-6 space **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the 1st dc
Round 6: ch-1, bpsc in the next dc, ch-6, skip next 2 dc, bpsc in next dc, ch-6, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc, * ch-6, bpsc in the 2nd dc of the next shell, ch-6, skip next 2 dc, bpsc in next dc, ch-6, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to ch-1
2 rounds 7 picots shells
From the 7th round start decreasing the top (ch-6 spaces = ch-4 spaces, 8dc = 6dc, 7 picots = 5 picots)
Round 7: ch-1, sc in next ch-6 space, ch-4, sc in next ch-6 space, 6 dc in next ch-6 space, * sc in next ch-6 space, ch-4, sc in next ch-6 space, 6 dc in next ch-6 space **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the ch-1
Round 8: pull the loop, turn, dc in the 1st dc, picot, (dc in next dc, picot) rep 4 times, dc in next dc, sc in next ch-4 space, * (dc in next dc, picot) rep 4 times, dc in next dc, sc in next ch-4 space **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the 1st dc
Round 9: ch-1, bpsc in the 1st dc, ch-4, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc, ch-4, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc, * ch-4, bpsc in the 1st dc of the next shell, ch-4, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc, ch-4, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to ch-1
Round 10: ch-1, sc in next ch-4 space, ch-4, sc in next ch-4 space, 6 dc in next ch-6 space, * sc in next ch-4 space, ch-4, sc in next ch-4 space, 6 dc in next ch-4 space **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the ch-1
Round 11: ch-1 sc in next ch-4 space, dc in the 1st dc, picot, (dc in next dc, picot) rep 4 times, dc in next dc, sc in next ch-4 space, * (dc in next dc, picot) rep 4 times, dc in next dc, sc in next ch-4 space **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the 1st dc
Round 12: ch-1, bpsc in the 1st dc, ch-4, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc, ch-4, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc, * ch-4, bpsc in the 1st dc of the next shell, ch-4, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc, ch-4, skip next dc, bpsc in next dc **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to ch-1
Repeat Round 7-12 2 times (the length as on the photo) or you can repeat as many times as you need to the desired length. End with Round 11
Join the thread to the top of the left back piece.
2 sc into ch space, sc across the armhole to the top of the left front part. 2 sc into ch space, dc in the same space, picot, dc in the same space, picot, dc in the same space,
* ch-5, turn, dc in the space between two picots, picot, dc in the same space, picot, dc in the same space **, repeat from * to ** until you reach the needed length (22 rows).
The last (joining row) row. ch-5, turn, (dc in the space between two picots, sl st in the top of the left back piece) repeat twice. Cut the thread.
Join the thread to the 1st row of the shoulder strap by sl st, 2 sc in the ch space, sc across the right front piece.
Crochet the 2nd shoulder stripe, join to the back part.
Then make a row of sc across the 2nd armhole and the back.
This is very cute. I would like to make it for my daughter. Can you tell me the gauge for this pattern so I can adjust it for the yarn I have access to? Thank you.
Hi :) Thank you! Gauge 26.0 sts = 4 in or 10cm
This is super cute! Thank you for the pattern and tutorial. 💖
Totally in love with this top :) can I make it a bit longer ? Is it possible to add a few more rows? Thank you so much :)
Thank you :) Yes, sure, just add more rows of shells :-*
