Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain

Choose your size and chain accordingly:

• Tip: Count your chain stitches carefully to ensure the correct width.

2. Row 1 (Base Row)

• Turn chains to the back.
• Skip first 3 chains (counts as 1 dc), double crochet (dc) into the 4th chain from the hook.
• Dc in each chain across.
• Medium example: You’ll have 140 dc across.
• End row and count your double crochets to confirm stitch count.

3. Row 2 (Cross V-Half Double Crochet Row)

• Chain 2, turn.
• Skip next stitch, hdc in next stitch; repeat * across the row.
• At the end, hdc in the last stitch.
• Tip: Use both loops for best texture.

4. Row 3 (Back Loop Double Crochet)

• Chain 3, turn.
• Dc in the back loop only of each stitch across.
• Maintain the same stitch count.

5. Row 4 and Beyond (Establish Repeat)

• Repeat Rows 2 & 3: Continue alternating these two rows.
  • Row 2: Cross (V) Half Double Crochet
  • Row 3: Back Loop Double Crochet
• Continue until you reach the desired height/length for your size:
  • Small: 17 rows (~8.5" / 21.5 cm)
  • Medium: 21 rows (~10" / 25 cm)
  • Large: 25 rows (~12.5" / 31.5 cm)

6. Shape Neck Opening

• With your piece laid flat, measure the neck opening:
  • Mark 33 dc for each shoulder using stitch markers (approx. 20 cm each; adjust for your size).
  • The neck gap (in center) is approx. 23 cm.
• Continue the repeating row pattern only across one marked shoulder section, up to the neck opening.
• Chain the required number of stitches (in the example: 74) to bridge across the neck opening.
• Attach chain to opposite shoulder marker and work back across using established pattern.
• Repeat the remaining rows to match the first side.

7. Finish Panel and Join Shoulders

• When both sides are complete, fasten off, leaving a long tail.
• With right sides facing, align and join tops of both panels at the shoulders with a yarn needle, using back loops only for a neat finish.

8. Create Side and Sleeve Seams

• Try on the top and mark sleeve openings as desired (sample: leave about 23 cm open for armholes).
• Use yarn and a needle to sew side seams from hem to underarm, matching markers for even sleeves.
• Repeat on both sides.

9. Finishing Touches - Neck and Sleeve Edgings

• Neck:
  • Join yarn at any shoulder seam.
  • Work a loose round of slip stitches or single crochet evenly around neck opening.
  • For corners, decrease stitches by working two together as needed.
  • Work 1–5 rounds for a thicker or thinner edging, as you prefer.
• Sleeves:
  • Repeat edging rounds around sleeve openings; use single crochet or slip stitch.

Tutor’s Suggestions

• Follow the video for extra clarity (find the link in the description).
• Make sure to measure as you go for best personal fit.
• Hide yarn tails with a yarn needle for a polished look.
• If you want a longer top, increase your foundation chain in multiples of 2.

Pro-Tip

For neat edges, always work stitches loosely around openings—this prevents puckering and makes the top more comfortable to wear.
