Crochet Flower Motif Top
Make these flowers, in shades of your favorite colors, coming together to form a delightful and unique top. It's not just clothing; it's a piece of art that you can wear! Each flower adds to a lovely design that's perfect for sunny days out or cozy get-togethers. This top is a way of carrying a little bit of spring and joy with you, no matter where you go or what time of year it is.
Materials Needed:
- 2.25 mm crochet hook
- Fine cotton blended yarn (Cotton or cotton blend recommended)
Flower Motif Pattern:
Start:
- Begin with a slip knot.
- Chain 4, then insert your hook into the first chain to form a circle.
Creating the Petal:
- Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet).
- Perform another double crochet into the center of the circle made by the 4 chains.
- Chain 6 (this counts as the first petal of the flower).
- Do 3 double crochets into the center loop of the 4 chains.
Completing the Flower:
Repeat the process for creating a petal 5 more times to have a total of 6 petals for the flower.
- End with a double crochet and slip stitch into the first chain of 3, completing the first row of petals.
Second Row of the Flower:
- Start by chaining 1.
- Do 1 single crochet and 1 half double crochet.
- Insert 7 double crochets into the loop.
- Follow with a half double crochet, then a single crochet, and chain 1.
- Slip stitch into the second double crochet of the initial group of three.
- Repeat this pattern for each of the petals around the flower.
Finishing Touches:
- Weave in ends as you go to avoid dealing with them at the end.
Connecting the Flowers:
- Connect flowers at two points on the first row.
- At the halfway point of a petal, do four double crochets (instead of seven).
- Use a slip stitch to connect to the midpoint of a completed flower.
- Continue the petal pattern after the connection.
- Repeat the process for the desired number of flowers in the row.
Creating Additional Rows:
- For additional rows, connect the flowers at four points as indicated in the pattern, and continue as explained for the first row.
Forming the Bra Shape:
- For the bra part, stack two flowers on each row and one flower at the top to form a triangle shape. Follow the same stitching patterns as before.
Straps:
- Chain 80 (or as needed for your size and preference).
- Attach the straps to the back of the top at a comfortable position for you.
Blocking (for stopping flower curling):
- Soak the finished piece in sink with a bit of detergent for 20 minutes.
- Gently roll in a towel to dampen, then manipulate and pin the corners to shape.
- Let it dry for a day to help flatten and better shape the top.
