- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Daisy Motif (Make 12)
Start by creating the daisy motifs that will adorn your crop top.
- Round 1: With yellow yarn, make a magic ring. Chain 1, then work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. (You should have 6 stitches in total.)
- Round 2: Switch to white yarn. Chain 1, then *sc in the next stitch, chain 3, and sl st in the same stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. Fasten off the yarn.
2. Front and Back Panels
Next, you will create the main body of the crop top.
- With pink yarn, chain 60 (or adjust for your desired width).
- Row 1: Sc in the second chain from the hook and across the row. Turn your work. (You should have 59 stitches.)
- Rows 2-20: Chain 1, then sc in each stitch across. Turn your work at the end of each row.
- Repeat these steps to create the back panel, ensuring both panels are the same size.
3. Joining Panels
Now it's time to assemble your top.
- Align the front and back panels together, ensuring they are facing the right sides out.
- Sew the side seams, leaving enough space for armholes (approximately 6-8 inches depending on your size).
- Sew the shoulder seams together, leaving space for the neckline (about 2-3 inches).
4. Attaching Daisy Motifs
Bring your crop top to life with the daisy motifs.
- Evenly space and sew 6 daisy motifs across the front panel, placing them in a visually appealing arrangement.
- Repeat this process for the back panel, ensuring the daisies are aligned similarly.
5. Edging
Finish your top with a neat border.
- With mint green yarn, single crochet evenly around the neckline and armholes. This will give your crop top a polished look.
6. Finishing
Complete your project by tidying up any loose ends.
- Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a clean finish.
Your Vintage Daisy Crop Top is now ready to wear! Enjoy showcasing your handmade creation and the nostalgic charm it brings to your summer wardrobe.
