The top looks very beautiful with its floral design, soft texture, and colorful squares that stand out in a unique way. Each piece can be made in different colors, so no two tops look exactly the same. This makes it a creative and personal clothing item that shows your own style.

It is useful as a light and comfortable outfit for warm days, a handmade gift, or even a trendy item to sell. A fun idea is to mix bright and pastel shades to make the flowers pop more, or keep it simple with one color theme for a clean and modern look.

Crochet Daisy Top Pattern

Materials

  • Yarn:
    • Yarn used: Cotton yarn
    • Suggested yarn: WeCrochet Cotton (linked in the video's description) or any DK-weight cotton yarn in black, white, and yellow.
  • Crochet Hook:
    • Size: 4.5 mm (US 7)
  • Other Essentials:
    • Scissors
    • Yarn needle for weaving in ends
    • Stitch markers (optional, but recommended for marking starting and ending points)

Gauge

Gauge is crucial for ensuring that your pieces match the finished size.

  • Gauge Measurement:
    • 12 double crochets (dc) = 4 inches
    • 6 rows in double crochet = 4 inches

If your gauge differs, adjust your hook size accordingly.

Finished Size

  • Default Size: Fits an average adult small/medium crop top.

Customization Tip: Adjust the number of squares and strap length to fit your measurements. Create a sample square, measure its size, and then calculate how many squares you will need to fit your desired dimensions.

Abbreviations

The pattern uses standard US crochet terms:

  • ch = chain
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • dc = double crochet
  • tr = treble crochet
  • st(s) = stitch(es)
  • yo = yarn over
  • mr = magic ring

Special Techniques

  1. Magic Ring (mr):
    • Form a loop with the yarn, leaving an 8" tail.
    • Insert hook through the loop, yo, and pull up a loop.
    • Work stitches into this ring, then pull the tail to tighten.
  2. Popcorn Stitch (for petals):
    • Work 3 dc into a single stitch.
    • Remove the hook, insert it into the first dc of the group, reattach the dropped loop, and pull through.
  3. Join-As-You-Go:
    • Instead of sewing together squares, slip stitch newly created squares to already finished ones while working the final border round.

Pattern Instructions

PART 1: Daisy Flower Center

  1. Start the Flower:
    • Use yellow yarn and create a magic ring (mr).
    • Chain 2 (ch 2), then work 12 double crochets (dc) into the ring.
    • Pull the yarn tail tight to close the ring.
    • Slip stitch (sl st) into the first dc to close the round.
      Save
  2. Finish the Flower Center:
    • Chain 1 and fasten off the yellow yarn.

PART 2: Daisy Petals

  1. Attach White Yarn:
    • Attach white yarn to any dc from the yellow round.
  2. Create Popcorn Petals:
    • Chain 2 (counts as first dc), work 2 more dc into the same st.
    • Remove the hook, insert it into the first dc of the cluster, reattach the dropped loop, and pull through to close.
    • Chain 2 for spacing.
      Save
  3. Continue Around:
    • Repeat the popcorn stitch in each of the 12 stitches from the yellow round (total: 12 petals).
    • For the final petal, do not chain 2 after closing. Instead, slip stitch into the starting chain.
  4. Fasten Off:
    • Chain 1, cut the yarn, and weave in ends.

PART 3: Square Base

  1. Attach Black Yarn:
    • Attach black yarn at any gap between the petals.
  2. Round 1 (Forming Square):
    • Start with 2 groups of 3 dc clusters in each space (around the curves of the petals).
    • For corners: Work 3 treble crochets (tr), ch 2, 3 treble crochets in the same space.
    • Continue around the flower, alternating between clusters and corners.
    • Slip stitch into the first corner ch-2 space to complete the round.
      Save
  3. Round 2:
    • For this round, add another cluster group of 3 dc between the previous round's groups.
    • Corners remain (3 tr, ch 2, 3 tr).
    • Slip stitch into the starting chain to finish. Fasten off.
      Save

PART 4: Joining Squares

  1. Join-As-You-Go:
    • Work squares as above, completing the second round while joining them.
    • To join: Slip stitch through the appropriate section of the adjacent square during the last round.
  2. Layout:
    • Create 4 squares for each row and join as needed to form the front and back panels.

PART 5: Triangles for Neckline

  1. Half Daisy for Triangles:
  • Follow steps for creating a daisy flower, but instead of working 12 dc into the yellow center, work only 6 dc.
  • For the petals, create 6 popcorn stitches. This forms a half circle.
  1. Triangle Border:
  • Attach black yarn and work around the half-daisy to form a triangle.
    Save
  • For corners, work 4 tr, ch 2, 4 tr at the midpoint. Join to the main work as you go.

PART 6: Adding Straps

  1. Creating Straps:
  • Using black yarn, attach at the front of the top. Create 55-60 chains (or as desired).
  • Slip stitch at the back panel of the top.
  1. Reinforce Straps:
  • Work back along the chain with half double crochets (hdc) for sturdiness.

PART 7: Bottom and Top Border

  1. Bottom Border:
  • Using white yarn, work a row of single crochet along the bottom edge.
  • Add shell stitches for a decorative finish: [5 dc in the same st, skip 2 sts, sl st in next st]. Repeat.
  1. Top Border:
  • Work a simple single crochet around the neckline, ensuring smooth curves along the triangles and squares.
