Complete Crochet Guide: Yarn Requirements, Size, and Step-by-Step Instructions for a Beautiful Top

You’ll Need:

50g of cream CoCo yarn (100% cotton; 240m/50g);

50g of the same yarn, but in pink color;

50g of the same yarn, but in light-violet color;

50g of the same yarn, but in violet color;

50g of the same yarn, but in khaki color;

Crochet hook 1.5.

Size:

Instructions

Work from up to down due to the scheme 1. Make a chain of 70 cm long with light-violet yarn, then make 1 row of double crochets. Divide your work into 4 parts: sleeves – 9 “fans” of 3 double crochets each, and front and back – 17 “fans” of 3 double crochets each. Make yoke, changing the color of yarn every 3 rows and increasing stitches according to scheme 1. Repeat this for a total of 12 rows. Then, divide your work into back and front sections and make 6 rows separately. After that, create back and front at the same time for 41 rows.

Assembly

Make 17 flowers according to scheme 2 using white and violet yarn. Place flowers diagonally in 2 parallel lines, alternating the colors as you sew them on. Finally, fasten the sleeves, neck-hole, and bottom of your project with single crochets.

I'm going to give this a try. It's a little confusing but I think it starts with

Yoke: 204 chains. Turn, DC in 3rd ch from hook, DC next 2 ch, Ch 1 (skip next ch, DC next 3. Ch1) 16 times. DC cluster Ch 3 for corner (place marker in 2 ch just made) Continue around alternating 17 clusters and 9 clusters with 3 chains between clusters and stitch marker in the middle chain. Continue this pattern for 12 rows. Then crochet front and back separately for 6 rows. Next crochet continuously in pattern around with no seams for 41 rows or desired length.

Flowers: MC, 15 SC. (Ch 5, SC, sk 2 st,) 5X, sl st in 1st sc. Next row: Working in ch 5 loop, SC, HDC, 4 DC, HDC, SC. Repeat in each loop. Sl st to beginning. Leave tail for sewing onto sweater.

I tried the first few rows last night and here are some tweaks.

1.With the given hook and my sugar and cream yarn it was way larger than a medium. Fell off my shoulders. Going to cut back the number of repeats in all 4 areas.

2. There is no DC cluster at the end of the row, just ch 3. The ch 3 effectively makes the garment turn so you don't really need a stitch marker. The shape is visible.

I apologize for posting this before trying it out. Also, I'm frogging what I have and going to recalculate the original # of chains. A practice patch of would be helpful to adjust the size.

I didn't start with foundation sc, so I have to frog all the way to the end (beginning).
