Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Foundation Chains

Create a slip knot and make 12 chains (ch).

2. First Flower Motif Row

Chain 3 (acts as your first double crochet, dc).
In the 4th chain, make 2 dc, chain 2, then 2 dc in the same space.
Skip two chains, dc in the next chain. Skip another two chains, then make (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the next chain.
Repeat to form two ‘petals’ in the row.
Skip two chains and dc in the last chain.

3. Building the Floral Yoke

Chain 3, turn.
In each floral motif center space from previous row, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc.
Make a front-post double crochet on the single dc from the previous row to give a raised effect.
Continue across, ending with a dc in the turning chain.

4. Repeat Flower Rows

Chain 3, turn.
Repeat the flower motif row for desired depth (usually 6–7 rows, enough for shoulder-to-collarbone coverage).
For a modest neckline, use fewer rows; for deeper, use more.

5. Shaping & Increasing

After floral rows, begin increasing for bust: in the center of each motif, work extra dc as instructed until width = ¼ of your bust measurement (e.g., for 32" bust, reach 8" width).
Alternate ‘increase’ and ‘repeat’ rows to shape the top.

6. Make the Back Yoke

Repeat the same flower motif rows and increases for the back piece.

7. Joining Front and Back

Slip stitch at the shoulder seams using the third chain of each dc block.
Make ‘repeat’ rows to bring yoke pieces together as shown, counting petals and working in the center spaces.
Attach both shoulder seams and sides by echoing same joining method.

8. Shaping the Waist

Start decreasing: count six chains at the center part, work one dc in each (reducing width).
If needed, repeat further decrease rows to shape for desired waist size (reduce in increments of one stitch each row).

9. Crochet String Straps

Take doubled yarn, knot, and chain to desired strap length (e.g., 23.5").
Attach securely at the top and crisscross for a chic finish.

10. Make Tassels

Wrap yarn six times around a small item.
Tie at the center and attach to string ends; tie knots, trim evenly for neat tassels.
Repeat for both ends of the straps.

Tutor’s Suggestions & Uses

This top is ideal for summer outings, festivals, or layered over dresses.
Adjust motif count and rows for other sizes.
Try adding beads or using gradient yarn for extra beauty.
Fabricate matching tassels for a boho-style effect.

Tip

Keep measuring your work against your body or a well-fitting top to ensure perfect fit and symmetry as you increase or decrease row counts.
