Difficulty Level:
Beginner to Intermediate – simple stitches but requires attention to shaping and joining.
Materials:
- Yarn in multiple colors (Passione, Cold Anne, or your choice)
- Crochet hook size 2mm (or suitable for your yarn)
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle for weaving ends
Pattern:
Step 1: Start the Foundation Loop
- Chain 5.
- Join the last chain to the first with a slip stitch forming a ring.
- This ring will be the starting point of your crop top.
Step 2: Create the First Round of Double Crochet Clusters
- Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet (dc)).
- Inside the ring, work 3 more dc so you have 4 dc total.
- Chain 2.
- Work 3 dc again inside the ring.
- Chain 2.
- Repeat until you have 4 clusters of 3 dc separated by 3 chains, forming a square base.
- Join to beginning with a slip stitch.
Step 3: Second Round – Build on the First Round
- Slip stitch to the first chain space.
- Make 1 single crochet (sc), then chain 2 (this will act as your height for a dc).
- Inside the same chain space, make 3 dc.
- Chain 3.
- In the next chain space, repeat: 4 dc (including chain 2 as first dc).
- Continue this around to create fans of 4 dc clusters separated by chain 3 spaces.
- Join with slip stitch.
Step 4: Continue Building Rows With Fan Stitches
- Turn your work.
- Chain 3, then make 3 dc in the chain space.
- Chain 3.
- In the next chain space, repeat the fan cluster (4 dc).
- Work around completing clusters for each side of the square.
- Join and turn as before.
Step 5: Color Changes (Optional)
- After completing a few rounds in one color, finish off and join a new color in any chain space to continue the pattern seamlessly.
- Repeat fan clusters and chain spaces as in previous rounds.
- Continue changing colors as desired for a fun colorful look or stick to one color for a classic appearance.
Step 6: Increasing for Size (On Corners)
- On corners, make (3 dc, 3 chain, 3 dc) in corner chain spaces to increase width and height evenly.
- Elsewhere, continue with fan clusters separated by chain 3.
Step 7: Making Top Edges and Straps
- To taper at the top edges, decrease the fan clusters as you approach the neckline by skipping some chain spaces when necessary.
- Use chains and single crochets to build straps or finishing edges according to your preference.
Step 8: Final Edge and Finishing
- Finish the last round with single crochets and slip stitches to create a neat edge.
- Weave in ends securely using a tapestry needle.
- Optionally, line the crop top with fabric for more comfort and stability.
Tutor’s Suggestions:
- For visible stitch definition, choose yarn colors with good contrast.
- Adjust the initial number of chains and the number of rounds to fit your size requirements.
- Blocking your piece after completing rounds will help shape and smooth the fabric.
- Always measure as you go to ensure a good fit.
Uses:
- Casual summer crop top.
- Layering piece with skins or under jackets.
- Gift or personal summer wardrobe addition.
- Experiment with yarn classifications — cotton blends work great for summer garments.
Helpful Tip:
Use stitch markers on corner chain spaces to help you remember where to increase and maintain the square shape easily.
