How To Crochet Gorgeous Crop Top

Materials Needed

• Yarn of your choice in three colors: Lilac, Burnt Purple, Beige
• Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn
• Scissors
• Measuring tape

Stitch Abbreviations

• CH: chain
• SC: single crochet
• DC: double crochet
• SL ST: slip stitch

Step-by-Step Pattern

Ribbed Panel

1. Create a slip knot and CH 11 (last chain is the turning chain).
2. Starting from the second CH from the hook, make 1 SC in each chain. You will have 10 SC in total.
3. Chain 1, turn your work. Working in the back loop only, make 1 SC in each stitch across (10 SC). Repeat this until you reach your desired length for the ribbed panel (8 inches in the video).
4. After reaching 8 inches, chain 1, turn your work sideways and make 1 SC in each stitch along the longer side of the ribbed panel.

Main Back Panel

1. Change color if desired. Create a slip knot with a new color and join with a SL ST.
2. CH 2 and turn your work. Make 1 DC in the same stitch.
3. Skip the next 2 stitches, and in the third stitch, create a cluster stitch as follows:
   • 1 DC, leaving the last loop on the hook (you’ll have 2 loops on your hook).
   • Yarn over, insert the hook in the same stitch, and pull through (4 loops on your hook).
   • Yarn over and pull through 2 loops, then yarn over and pull through the remaining 3 loops.
4. CH 2 and make another cluster stitch in the same stitch.
5. Skip the next 2 stitches and repeat making a V-stitch (cluster stitch, chain 2, cluster stitch) in every third stitch across the row.
6. Continue this pattern until the end of the row, finishing with 1 DC in the last stitch. Change colors as desired following the pattern—typically every two or three rows.
7. Repeat these steps for 36 rows or until the panel reaches your desired length.

Main Front Panel

1. Follow the same steps for the back panel until you reach the desired length before creating the V-neck (18 rows in the video).

Creating the V-neck for the Front Panel

1. After completing 18 rows, find the center of your panel.
2. Work one side of the V-neck first:
   • Continue the double crochet and V-stitches until you reach the middle of the panel.
   • In the middle chain space, make one cluster stitch without chain 2 space in between and use the new color yarn to continue.
3. Chain 2, turn your work and continue the V-stitch pattern across, ensuring to make one less V-stitch at the beginning of each row on the neck side to create the V shape.
4. Repeat this decrease pattern every alternate row (or every second row for a less steep V-neck) until you have 18 rows for the shoulder panel.
5. Repeat these steps on the other side of the panel.

Assembly

1. Lay the front and back panels on top of each other, right sides facing.
2. Attach the panels together at the sides using SC or a whip stitch, leaving space for armholes.
3. Attach a ribbed panel to the bottom hem using SC.

Creating Sleeves

1. Create a ribbed panel for each sleeve (follow the same steps as the first ribbed panel).
2. Attach the ribbed panels to the armholes.
3. Secure any loose ends and weave them in.

Conclusion

1. Voila! Your crochet crop top with ribbed sleeves and bottom is ready.

Note: This pattern is highly customizable. You can adjust the size by increasing or decreasing the number of rows or stitches as per your measurements. Changing colors is optional and can be done based on personal preference.
