Pattern Instructions:
Crochet Crop Top
- Start with the mustard yellow yarn. Chain 50 (or adjust for desired size). This will be the foundation for your top.
- Row 1: Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 1 sc in each chain across. (49 sc)
- Row 2-5: Ch 1, turn. Work 1 sc in each sc across. Repeat for a total of 5 rows. This gives width to your top.
- Change to dark green yarn. Row 6: Ch 1, turn. Work 1 sc in each sc across.
- Row 7-8: Repeat the same as above for a total of 3 rows in dark green.
- Change to white yarn. Row 9: Ch 1, turn. Work 1 sc in each sc across.
- Row 10: Repeat for 1 more row. You should have 9 total rows of sc; thus, the top will have a nice striped look.
- Fold the top in half and stitch along the sides to create the armholes. You can use slip stitches for a clean finish.
- To create a more fitted look, you can add a chain tie in the back. Chain 30 and attach it to the top corners of the back.
Crochet Skirt
- Using mustard yellow yarn, chain 80 (or adjust for desired size). This will be the foundation for your skirt.
- Row 1: Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 1 sc in each chain across. (79 sc)
- Row 2-10: Ch 1, turn. Work 1 sc in each sc across for 9 more rows. This creates the height of the skirt.
- Change to dark green yarn, Row 11: Ch 1, turn. Work 1 sc in each sc across.
- Row 12-13: Continue with dark green for 2 more rows.
- Change to white yarn, Row 14: Ch 1, turn. Work 1 sc in each sc across.
- Row 15-16: Work in white for 2 more rows.
- To create a waistband, fold the top edge and seam it with slip stitches to create a tunnel. Leave an opening to run a chain through for the waistband.
- Chain 80 and weave it through the tunnel, gathering the top to fit.
Finishing:
Weave in all ends using your tapestry needle for a polished look. If desired, you can block the pieces for a more refined finish. Simply wet the pieces, shape them, and lay flat to dry.
Optional Variations:
You can adjust the length of the top or skirt to your preference, or add additional stripes for a more intricate design. Experiment with different yarn colors to personalize your set!
