Colorful Granny Square Crop Top

Materials:

Yarn: Worsted weight (Category 4) yarn in various colors (green, blue, red, yellow, and white). Approximately 200 yards total.
Hook: Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Measuring tape

Gauge: 12 double crochets (dc) and 7 rows = 4 inches in granny square stitch. To check your gauge, crochet a square that measures 4x4 inches. Adjust your hook size if needed to achieve the correct gauge.

Abbreviations:

ch: chain
sl st: slip stitch
dc: double crochet
sp: space

Instructions:

Granny Squares (make 5 squares):

Make a magic ring. If you're unsure how to do this, simply ch 4 and join to form a ring.
Round 1: (In the ring) ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 2 dc, ch 2, *3 dc, ch 2* repeat from * to * two more times, join with sl st to top of ch 3. (You will have 4 clusters of 3 dc with 2 ch spaces in between.)
Round 2: Slip stitch to the first ch space, in the space: ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc (first corner made). In the next ch space: *3 dc*, repeat this in the next two ch spaces to create three more corners. Join with sl st to top of ch 3. You should now have a square shape.
Continue to make squares, changing yarn colors as desired. You can switch colors at the end of each round to create a multi-colored granny square.

Assembly:

Once you have made 5 granny squares (2 for the front, 2 for the back, and 1 for the center band), lay them out in a style you like. The center square will connect the two front squares.
Using a slip stitch or whip stitch, seam the squares together. For the center piece, connect the front squares by sewing the top edges together.
Now attach the back squares in the same manner, ensuring they are aligned with the front panels.

Straps:

For the straps, you will chain a length of about 40 ch. This can be adjusted to fit comfortably over your shoulders.
Attach each end of the strap to the top corners of the front squares using sl st.

Finishing:

Weave in all ends using the tapestry needle.
For added durability, consider blocking your crop top. This will help the squares lay flat and look crisp.
To block, gently wash your top, then lay it flat on a surface and pin it into shape. Allow to dry completely.

Optional Variations:

Change the size of the granny squares for a different look.
Add more granny squares for a longer crop top.
