Top Crochet Pattern
Materials:
- Approximately 380 yards of Joanne’s Big Twist yarn for sizes S to XL (small adjustments for larger sizes may be necessary)
- 5mm crochet hook for the waistband
- 5.5mm crochet hook for the front panel
- Scissors
- Darning needle
- Tunisian hook or a crochet hook without a rubber handle (for drawstring)
Waistband:
- Using a 5mm hook, create a slip knot with a long tail for weaving in later.
- Chain 9 to start (resulting in 8 stitches wide).
- Starting in the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet in the back bump of the chain.
- Single crochet across for the first row.
- Chain 1, turn. Work first and last stitch through both loops for a normal single crochet, and the middle stitches through the back loop only for a ribbing effect.
- Repeat this pattern until you have your waistband length. Example: 82 rows for a mannequin size of S/M (size 6-8).
Front Panel:
- Transition to a 5.5mm hook. Attach yarn to the waistband, planning for 43 stitches across for S/M or 56 for L/XL.
- Work two rows of single crochet across your designated stitches.
- Chain 1, turn. Start a pattern sequence with 1 single crochet in the first two stitches, then front post double crochet, single crochet, and repeat the sequence adding in puff stitches (4 yarn over puff) and single crochet stitches between front post double crochets.
- Pattern will continue with various rows of single crochets, puff stitches, and front post double crochets creating a diamond shape pattern.
- Repeat this diamond pattern for the required length—six diamonds high for a S/M, adjust according to your size and desired coverage.
Halter Neck and Finish:
- Finish the top with a row of double crochet to strengthen and straighten the edge.
- Create a back loop double crochet row at the top edge for flexibility, then secure the end by stitching across lightly to allow for gathering.
- Crochet a chain of 91 with the 5mm hook for the drawstring. Weave this drawstring through the top edge you’ve prepared.
Assembly:
- Sew the waistband ends together securely.
- Thread the drawstring through the top row, adjusting for fit.
Optional:
- Decorate the drawstring ends with beads or tassels as desired.
