How to Create a Crochet Top with Black Mercerized Cotton Yarn

You’ll Need:

300g of black 100% mercerized cotton yarn (280m/50g);

Crochet hook 1.4.

Size:

M.

Used Patterns:

Main pattern: due to the scheme 1.

Fringe: due to the scheme 2.

Stitches Control:

8 pattern repeats x 17 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Note:

Work from up to down.

Instructions:

Back:

Make 121 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern.

In 8 rows, increase 7 x 1 pattern repeat in every 2^nd row from both sides for shoulder chamfers. In 20 rows from the beginning of work, crochet 30 rows straight, then, bind off 4 x 1 pattern repeat in every row from both sides for sleeve chamfers. Make 32 rows more and finish your work.

Front:

Make in the same way as back.

Assembly:

Make side, shoulder, and sleeve seams. Fasten the bottom of the top with fringe in circle rows. Fasten the edges of sleeves with 2 circle rows of the main pattern, 1 row of single crochets, and 1 row of “shrimp stitch.”
