hi everyone today I’m going to show you

how to make this easy scalloped crochet

top made with 100% cotton yarn this top

is perfect for summer the full random

pattern with sizes extra small to three

extra large is available for free on my

blog the link is on the buyer I’m making

size extra small you will need cotton

Aran worsted weight or 10 ply yarn a 5

millimeter crochet hook 8 stitch markers

scissors and a darning needle to begin

create a slip knot and you can do this

any way you like insert your hook into

the loop

and now we’re going to chain a da so to

chain you yarn over and pull through a

loop repeat this until you have 88

chains

once you have 88 chains we’re going to

slip stitch into the first chain to

create a ring

make sure that your chains aren’t

twisted

I’m now going to show you two different

ways to begin around

option one is to chain three and this

always counts as a stitch I’d recommend

this if you’re a beginner and then at

the end of each round you’re just going

to slip stitch into the third chain

option two is to create a no turning

chain you’re going to pull up a loop

roughly the height of your double

crochet

hold onto the loop and yarn over

yarn over and then pull through you

should have two loops on your hook

yarn over and pull through to the no

turning chain is a bit fiddly but it

helps remove the visible seam at the

back of the top we’re now going to

double crochet into the next stitch yarn

over and insert your hook into the chain

yarn over and pull up a loop you should

have three loops on your hook yarn over

and pull through two yarn over and pull

through two

you’re now going to double crochet into

the next seven chain

you should now have nine stitches in

total including the no turning chain or

the chain three at the beginning place

two double crochets into the same stitch

and now you’re going to put a stitch

market into the second double crochet

double crochet into the next nine

stitches

place two double crochets into the same

stitch

place a stitch market in the second

double crochet

double crochet into the next 13 chain

place two double crochets into the next

chain

place the stitch marker on top of the

second double crochet

you’re now going to repeat double

crochet into the next nine chains and

then place two double crochets into the

same stitch and then place a stitch

marker on top of the second double

crochet three more times

once you’ve done the repeat three times

you’re going to double crochet into the

next 13 chains

and then place two double crochets into

the same stitch

a stitch marker on top of the second

double crochet

double crochet into the next nine

stitches

place two double crochets in the last

stitch of the round

place a stitch market in the second

double crochet

slip stitch into the first stitch or the

third chain at the beginning of the

round to join you should have 96

stitches to begin round to chain 3 or do

a no turning chain

place one double crochet in each stitch

until you reach the stitch marker

when you’re at the stitch with the

stitch marker remove the stitch marker

and place two double crochets into the

same stitch

place the stitch market on top of the

second double crochet

you’re going to repeat this pattern

until the end of the round place one

double crochet in each stitch until you

reach a stitch with the stitch marker

place two double crochets in the stitch

with the stitch market

remove the stitch marker and place it on

top of the second double crochet

at the end of the round slip stitch into

the first stitch or the third chain you

should have a hundred and four stitches

this is what your ring should look like

repeat round two until you reach round

11 for size extra small

and this is your yoke after living

rounds of increasing you should have a

hundred and seventy six stitches to

begin yoke increased round one we’re

going to chain three or do a no turning

chain

you’re going to place one double crochet

in each stitch of the round

when you reach a stitch with a stitch

marker remove the stitch marker and

place only one double crochet in that

stitch

there’s no need to put the stitch marker

back into the stitch

at the end of the round slip stitch into

the first stitch or the chain-3 to join

repeat this round two more times

to begin chain3 or do a no turning chain

stitch double crochet in each stitch of

the round at the end of the round slip
