Crochet Colorful Top for beginners with V-neck on back
Hello my crochet friends!
Who likes to crochet simple summer tops, tunics, sweaters or beach covers?
With summer approaching, I am really enjoying these crocheted summer models.
Today I have a tutorial for a simple crochet top in gorgeous bright summer colors!
The instructions are prepared for complete beginners, the top is crocheted in two identical parts and whoever wants can crochet an interesting and sexy V-neck on the back part.
The crocheted top can be easily adjusted to any size, this one is crocheted in women's size M.
I'm using basic double crochets in the pattern - trebles and single crochets and chains, no shaping, if you're worried about increasing or decreasing, don't worry - this tutorial is super easy! And if you wouldn't dare to use a v-neck, you simply crochet 2 identical parts and crochet them together.
This crocheted top is made from the wonderful PAPATYA COTONISH yarn - a very soft premium acrylic yarn with many cheerful colors.
I hope we have a wonderful summer time ahead, so let's get started!

CROCHET TOP WITH V-NECK ON THE BACK
PATTERN NOTES
1) Before you start take a measurement, I would recommend to determine the width of your top. If you want to have your top wider, make a longer foundation chain at the beginning of front / back panel. If you want to have your top narrower, make a shorter foundation chain at the beginning of front / back panel.
2) This pattern is for Medium women size, but you can easily adapt to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the number of chains and rows for the top and as well as making less or more chains in the basic chain.
3) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T COUNT as a stitch.
4) A ch3 at beg of the row/round DOESN'T COUNT as a stitch.
5) The TOP measures:
length: 54 cm / 21 inch
width: 44 cm / 17 inch
back panel length:
width: 44 cm / 17 inch
*Measurements are taken from the garment lying flat, before the yarn has stretched out/dropped.
5) The TOP is worked in 2 basic pieces:

Join the front and back panel on shoulders: join the shoulders from the corner of the back panel.
We will continue with the same yarn and the same hook to crochet the shoulders as follows:
R46: ch3, 1 tr to 1st st on the back panel, sl st to 1st st on the front panel, 1 tr in next st on the back panel, sl st in next st on the front panel, *sl st in next st on the front panel, skip 1 st on the back panel, 1 tr to the next st on the back panel, sl st in next st on the front panel, 1 tr in next st on the back panel, sl st in next st on the front panel*, repeat from * to * 4 times. Cut the yarn, sew the end.
Re-join a new yarn on the opposite side and crochet in the same way: ch3, 1 tr to 1st st on the back panel, sl st to 1st st on the front panel, 1 tr in next st on the back panel, sl st in next st on the front panel, *sl st in next st on the front panel, skip 1 st on the back panel, 1 tr to the next st on the back panel, sl st in next st on the front panel, 1 tr in next st on the back panel, sl st in next st on the front panel*, repeat from * to * 4 times. Cut the yarn, sew the end.
Join the front and back panel on sides:
Join your panels with slip stitches.
Join the top so that the right sides are facing each other (inside).
Join the wrong sides together.
On the sides, we sew 27 rows from the bottom up, leaving 18 rows unjoined. Join stitch to stitch.
Fasten off your work and hide all loose tails and you are all done with your AMAZING TOP.
You just created a beautiful cheerful CROCHET TOP WITH V-NECK ON THE BACK and I hope you enjoy this pattern!
