Tip:

Opt for lightweight yarn to ensure a delicate drape and a comfortable wear.

Materials Needed:

• 4 skeins of 24/7 cotton yarn by Lion Brand (size 4 medium weight, 100% mercerized cotton, each skein is about 186 yards)
• Size G (4 mm) crochet hook
• Scissors
• Blunt needle
• Markers
• Tape measure

Pattern Overview:

• This crochet top is started at the neck opening with a yoke that features five sides and five corners. Continue crocheting rounds until reaching the desired measurement. Join the sides to create arm openings and at the waist for a fitted look.

Starting the Top:

Foundation Chain:

• Create a slip knot and chain 102. This count is a multiple of 7 for the sides and a multiple of 5 for the corners.

Forming Ring:

• Slip stitch in the first chain to form a ring.

Establishing the Pentagon Shape:

• Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
• Make 2 double crochets into the next chain.
• Chain 4, skip 4 chains. This is repeated for creating the sides.
• In the next chain, make 2 double crochets, 1 double crochet in the next chain, then 2 more double crochets into the next chain, completing a group of 5 double crochets.

First Corner:

• Chain 5 (instead of 4), then skip 2 chains and continue the pattern to create the first corner.
• Continue this pattern around, creating five corners and sides, with the final side having an additional group of double crochets for the back side of the piece.
• Join with a slip stitch to complete the round.

Expanding the Shape:

• Chain 1, single crochet in the same stitch.
• Chain 2, create a shell (2 double crochets, chain 2, 2 double crochets) in the next chain-4 space.
• Repeat the pattern of chain 2, single crochet in the stitch between shells around the piece.

Corners:

• In each chain-5 space, work a shell with 3 double crochets in the middle instead of 2, creating a wider space at each corner.
• Continue this pattern around and join with a slip stitch.

Successive Rounds: Further Shaping

• For rounds 3 to 20, continue alternating the established patterns, adjusting the shell and chain spaces as necessary to maintain the pentagon shape. This involves chaining more for corners and creating shells in the chain spaces from the previous round.
• Adjust length by adding or reducing rounds based on your preference.

Creating Openings:

Waistline:

• Fold the piece halfway, mark about 5 inches from the sides for the waistline.

Arm Openings:

• From the top, measure 8 inches down and mark for arm openings. Sew the sides from this marker down to the waist marker.

Neck Opening:

• Finish with rounds of single crochet and half double crochets for a clean look around the neck.

Final Touches:

• Weave in all ends.
• Optionally, close 1 1/2 inches at each side of the waist and arm openings for a more defined shape.
