How to Create a Stylish Crochet Top with Red Yarn

You’ll Need

300g of red yarn (100% mercerized cotton; 200m/50g);

Crochet hook 1.4.

Size

M.

Used Patterns

Main pattern: due to the scheme. The quantity of stitches is multiple of 34 + 1 + 3 chain stitches increase.

Stitches Control

1 pattern repeat x 17 rows = 8.5 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Make 171 chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase and work with the main pattern. In 50 rows from the beginning of sleeves, make 34 chain stitches from both sides (1 pattern repeat). In 29 rows from the beginning of sleeves, work in the following way for neck-hole: 2 pattern repeats – left sleeve, leave 3 pattern repeats and make 102 chain stitches instead of them – neck-hole, 2 pattern repeats – right sleeve. Then, work in symmetry. Make side, shoulder, and sleeve seams. Fasten neck-hole, edges of sleeves, and bottom of top with 2 rows of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch.”
