Instructions:

Granny Squares:

Make 9 Granny Squares (4x4 inches each):

Start by making a magic ring.

Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc into the ring, chain 2 (this forms the corner), *3 dc, chain 2* repeat from * to * two more times. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3.

Round 2: Slip stitch into the next 2 dc to reach the corner. Chain 3, 2 dc, chain 2, 3 dc into the corner. *In the next chain 2 space, 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc* repeat for each corner. Join with sl st.

Round 3: Repeat round 2 until your square measures 4x4 inches. Change colors as desired in each round for a more colorful square.

Finish off and weave in ends for each square.

Assemble the Crop Top:

Lay out 9 Granny Squares to form a 3x3 grid. Arrange them so colors alternate for a fun pattern.

Join squares together: Place two squares right sides together. Use a slip stitch to join them through both layers, working through the back loops. Repeat for all squares.

Once all squares are joined, flip the top to the right side.

Creating the Edging:

With the right side facing up, choose a color for the border. Attach yarn at any corner, chain 1.

Make 1 sc in the same corner, chain 1, *sc around each edge, making 3 sc in each corner space (to maintain the shape)*. Join with a sl st to the first sc.

Repeat this edging for a neat finish, weaving in all ends afterwards.

Finishing Touches:

Try on the top and adjust the fit if needed; you can add straps or adjust the size simply by changing the arrangement of the squares.

Consider blocking your top for a neater look and to even out the squares. To block, wet or steam your finished piece and lay it flat to dry in the desired shape.

Enjoy your unique crop top, perfect for a summer outing!

Optional Variations:

Change the size of squares for a different look.

Add more rows for a longer crop top.

Incorporate different stitch patterns or lace for added texture.
