Crochet Cowl Neck Crop Top

Materials Needed:

Yarn (in white, navy blue, and hot pink colors)
Crochet hook (4.5 mm)
Darning needle
Scissors

Step-by-Step Pattern:

Start with a Slip Knot:

Create a slip knot by twisting the yarn to form an X and pulling it through.

Chain for Cowl Neck:

Chain the width of the cowl neck. It is recommended to make it oversized for a cowl neck effect.
The video creator made theirs about 18 inches but adjust as needed.

Begin Half Double Crochet Rows:

Turn your work and make half double crochets in every chain.
Work the half double crochet stitch in the third chain, then in each following chain.

Continue Rows in Both Loops:

Continue making half double crochets in both loops across each row.
This will create a smooth and even texture for the top.

Decrease Rows for Waistline:

When reaching the waist, start decreasing to shape the top around the waist.
Make decreases on both sides by combining two half double crochets into one stitch.

Change Yarn Colors:

When changing colors, hold the new yarn at the back, and pull it through to complete a half double crochet.
This method creates a seamless color change. Repeat as needed throughout the project.

Finish Top with Straps:

Attach yarn at one end of the top using a slip stitch and start making chains for the strap length desired.
Crochet single crochets in each chain for a thicker strap.
Repeat this for each strap placement (e.g., straps at the neck and waist).
