Welcome to your new favorite crochet project! In this pattern, we will create a chic red crop top and skirt set that is perfect for warm weather. This set combines comfort and style, making it a must-have addition to any wardrobe!

Materials Needed:

• Red worsted weight yarn (approximately 600 yards)
• 5.5 mm (I/9) crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
• Measuring tape

Gauge:

10 double crochet (dc) stitches = 4 inches. Make a swatch to ensure your tension matches.

Abbreviations:

• ch = chain
• sc = single crochet
• dc = double crochet
• st = stitch
• sl st = slip stitch

Instructions:

For the Crop Top:

1. Start by chaining 60 (or adjust for your size). This will be the base of the top.
2. Row 1: In the 4th ch from the hook, make 1 dc. Continue to dc across the chain, ending with 1 dc in the last ch. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then dc in the next dc. *Ch 1, skip the next dc, dc in the next dc.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the row. Turn.
4. Repeat Row 2 until your piece measures approximately 12 inches from the starting chain.
5. To create the neckline, crochet evenly across the top edge for 3 rows in dc, then fold down this section, sewing or slip stitching it into place.
6. Using a long piece of yarn, create small thread ties on either side (for fit and style). Finish off and weave in any loose ends.

For the Skirt:

1. Chain 96 for a standard size. Adjust based on your body measurement.
2. Row 1: In the 4th ch from the hook, make 1 dc. DC across the chain. Turn.
3. Row 2: Ch 3, dc in the next dc. *Ch 1, skip the next dc, dc in the next dc.* Repeat from * to * until the end. Turn.
4. Repeat Row 2 until the piece measures 20 inches, or desired length.
5. To create the waistband, do another 4 rows of even dc stitches at the top.
6. Finish with a row of sl st around the bottom edge for a neat finish.

Final Touches:

For a beautiful finish, weave in any remaining yarn ends with the tapestry needle. You can also add decorative elements such as beads or appliqués if you wish.
