How to CROCHET FLOWER GRANNY SQUARE CROP TOP

This pattern is made for very beginners. If you don't understand any of my instructions, don't worry I am here for you.

This lovely Crochet Top with Flower Granny Squares is easy to make.

The pattern uses only basic crochet stitches - single crochets and doubles and trebles and chains.

The flower granny square top crochet pattern is for very beginners.

This Top made up with 12 squares seamed together.

Easy to adjust, you can make this top in a number of sizes.

I also provided size instructions below. You just need to measure the chest circumference and crochet the flower granny squares size accordingly.

To measure your square size, make sure you measure one side up and down and not across.

The direction shown are for Women XS size but can be easily converted into bigger size or smaller size – just by making the SQUARE according to the your size.

The great thing about this Crop top is that you can use left-over yarns!

I used mainly these:

Fettuccia Fine: 50 g / 150 m / 100 % acrylic

PATTERN NOTES

1) Before you start take a measurement of your body and a body measurement.

Please see the final measurement of the top below:

2) This pattern is for XS women size, but you can easily adapt to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the number of square’s rows. Remember that when making your top bigger you will need more yarn.

3) A chain at beg of the round DOESN'T count as a stitch

4) The top consists of 12 squares joined together. 

5) Straps are made as a foundation chain to make the top more fitted.

6) The flower granny square pattern is a simple one. One round = one color.

The flower granny square pattern is a very simple one, 5 colors. You can create the flower granny square in various color combinations. Cut and join colors as needed for the flower granny squares.

7) You can make your own color combinations for the granny squares or follow my colors recommendation.

Color A: white color

Color B: pink color

Color C: black color

8) On every round with treble crochets replace the first treble crochet with 4 chain stitches at the beginning. On every round with double crochet stitches replace the first stitch with 3 chain stitches.

9) The Crop top is symmetrical. You can wear front panel on front side or on back side or upside down. 

10) Instructions between two asterisks should be repeated for the remainder of the round

How many granny squares do you need?

You will need to adjust 12 flower granny squares

Make 12 squares.

Let's assembly squares together.

Arrange your squares how you want them – you can see how I arranged mine in the photo below.

Weave in the loose ends from the colors of the granny squares before you begin.

Remember not to make your stitches too tight and not too loose.

Assembly

Once you have 12 squares made, line them up like this:

Arrange all granny squares as indicated by photo with the right sides facing upwards.

Crochet them together by chains and single crochet stitching.

Let's start with the first row of 4 squares and then the second round of 4 squares:

Step1: Put two squares together, right side facing inside.

Step 2: Join square's corners: insert hook in both corners, in ch1 spaces and make a single crochet

Step3: Join square's sides: continue crocheting: sl st in each st till you reach next corners

Step4: Put next squares together

REPEAT steps and join all squares

Fasten off securely.

Weave in any loose ends.

STRAPS

Make a foundation chain 130 chains. Turn, 1sl sl in 2nd chain and then 1sl st in each chain till end of chain.

Fasten off securely.

Weave in loose ends.

Pull the strap in one of the corners on the front and in one of the corner on the back (the same side)

Repeat on the other side.

You can adjust the length depending on how long you want your strap to be.
Fasten off, weave in the ends.

Now that your lovely colorful and cheerful Flower Granny Square Top is assembled and you will hide all loose tails in the wrong side of your work and turn it right side facing you.
