The Crochet Pattern
Step 1: Creating the Ribbing for the Waistband
- With dark yellow yarn, create a slip knot and:
- Chain 8 stitches. (This will determine the width of the ribbing.)
- Row 1:
- Insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, and work 1 sc.
- Continue making sc in each chain across (7 sc total).
- Row 2:
- Turn your work and chain 1.
- Work 1 sc in the back loop only (BLO) in each stitch across.
- Repeat Row 2 until the ribbing is long enough to wrap snugly around your waist.
- Tip: Make sure the ribbing isn’t too loose or tight by wrapping it around your waist to check the fit.
Step 2: Joining the Ribbing into a Loop
- Fold the ribbing in half so the starting edge lines up with the working edge.
- Insert your hook through the first stitch of the starting edge and the first stitch of the working edge.
- Work sl st across both edges to join the ribbing into a loop.
Step 3: Creating the Base for the Body
- Once the ribbing is joined, do not fasten off the yarn.
- Round 1:
- Chain 1 and begin working sc evenly around the top edge of the ribbing.
- Ensure you place one single crochet stitch in each row of ribbing.
- When you’ve gone all the way around, join with a sl st to the first sc.
Step 4: Working the Body (Dark Yellow Section)
- Round 2:
- Chain 1.
- Work 1 sc into the first stitch.
- Work 1 hdc into the next stitch.
- Repeat the pattern of 1 sc, 1 hdc around.
- Join with a sl st to finish the round.
- Continue working this alternating stitch pattern (sc, hdc) in rounds until you’re ready to switch to the next color.
Step 5: Switching to Light Yellow Yarn
- To change to light yellow yarn, fasten off the dark yellow, leaving a small tail to weave in later.
- Join the light yellow yarn to the same stitch where you finished the previous round with a sl st.
- Round 1 (Light Yellow):
- Chain 1.
- Continue the same alternating stitch pattern (1 sc, 1 hdc) all the way around.
- Join with a sl st to complete the round.
- Work as many rounds as you like in light yellow, until you’re ready to switch to the cream yarn.
Step 6: Cream Yarn and Final Length
- Attach the cream yarn with a sl st, just like before.
- Continue the sc, hdc pattern in rounds using the cream yarn.
- To finish the body:
- Stop when the garment reaches your desired crop top length.
- Fasten off the cream yarn, leaving a tail to weave in.
Step 7: Adding Ribbing to the Top Edge
- Attach dark yellow yarn to the top edge of the crop top using a sl st.
- Begin Ribbing:
- Chain 8.
- Work 1 sc in the second chain from the hook, then sc across (7 sc total).
- To attach ribbing to the top edge:
- Insert your hook into the next stitch of the top edge and work a sl st.
- Slip stitch into the next stitch of the top edge, then turn your work.
- Next Row: Work sc in BLO across the 7 stitches of the ribbing.
- Repeat this process of sc ribbing and attaching it to the top edge, working your way around the entire circumference of the crop top.
- Once the ribbing is complete, fasten off yarn and weave in all loose ends.
Assembly & Finished Size
- Weave in all loose ends neatly with a darning needle.
- Make sure all seams and ribbing are secure.
- Block the garment if necessary to smooth out stitches and finish the look.
