Free Crochet Off-The-Shoulder Top Pattern to Stand Out Effortlessly

When sewing the granny square, treat each stitch with care for a clean finish. Patience yields the best results! This beautiful top is both a stylish addition to your wardrobe and a satisfying project to make.

Materials You'll Need

• Yarn: Any worsted-weight yarn (tutorial uses Caron Blossom Cake yarn, but cotton yarn also works).
• Hook Size: 5mm crochet hook.
• Scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape, and a sewing needle.

To begin, the neckline is created with a foundation chain that is a multiple of six, designed to fit snugly around your shoulders.

This chain is joined in a round and divided into sections for the sleeves, front, and back.

Using double crochet (DC) stitches, increases are made at designated stitch markers to shape the neckline and body for six rows.

After that, the sleeves are sectioned off by chaining stitches that connect under the armholes, leaving space for comfortable movement. The body is then worked in rounds of DC to form the main tube.

For added charm, a granny square is made and sewn into the front. To ensure precision, stitch markers are used to measure placement, and the granny square is secured with hand-sewn stitches.

Decreases can be made to contour the top for a fitted waist, or you can continue in straight rows for a looser fit. This adjustable pattern accommodates all preferences, guaranteeing a seamless result.

Special Features

• Granny Square Accent: Adds a playful and breathable detail that’s perfect for the summer look.
• Boat Neck Design: A trendy off-the-shoulder neckline for a chic style.
• Adjustable Length: Easy to make cropped or full-length based on your preference.

Tutor’s Suggestions

• While making chain-based measurements, ensure the garment isn't too tight so it can fit easily over your shoulders.
• The tutor emphasizes using stitch markers to keep track of increases, ensuring a balanced fit.
• If you’re sewing for the first time, treat each stitch with care and patience for a polished finish.
• The granny square can be skipped if you prefer a simpler, less see-through top.
