Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight cotton yarn
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm (H) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 inches = 12 double crochets and 7 rows

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 80 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not twisted.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *skip 2 dc, then make 5 dc in the next dc to create a flower petal. Skip 2 dc again, and make a single crochet (sc) in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work at the end of the row.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then dc in each sc across the row. Turn your work when you reach the end.
5. Repeat: Continue to repeat Rows 2 and 3 until your piece reaches the desired length. This will create the floral pattern that gives the top its unique look.
6. Sleeves: To create the sleeves, attach your yarn to the armhole area. Repeat the floral pattern (Rows 2 and 3) for 10 rows to form the sleeves.
7. Finishing Touches: Once you have completed the body and sleeves, finish with a single crochet border around the neckline and sleeves to give it a polished look.
8. Weaving in Ends: Carefully weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. This will help to keep your work neat and tidy.
9. Blocking: Finally, block your top to shape it properly. This will enhance the stitch definition and make your top look even more beautiful.

Now that you have your crochet floral top completed, enjoy wearing your handmade creation! This elegant piece is sure to turn heads and keep you comfortable all summer long.
