Making a crochet easy two-toned crop top is a fun and straightforward project perfect for anyone looking to add a splash of color and handmade charm to their wardrobe. With just a few basic stitches and two of your favorite yarn colors, you can whip up a stylish piece that’s all your own.
Crochet Two-toned Crop Top
Materials Needed:
- Crochet yarn in two different colors
- Crochet hook
- Stitch marker
Pattern:
Crochet Cup:
- Create a slip knot.
- Chain 13 for a size small (adjust the chain count as needed for different sizes).
- Start the first row by inserting a single crochet into the second chain from the hook. Continue single crocheting all the way down but stop before the last chain.
- At the last chain, insert 3 single crochet stitches into that same chain space.
- Mark the middle of these 3 stitches with a stitch marker.
- Continue single crocheting along the opposite side, weaving in the tail end as you go.
- After completing the first row, check that you have an equal number of stitches on both sides of the stitch marker. For a small size, you should have 12 stitches on each side.
- For the second row, chain one, turn your work, and begin by inserting a single crochet into the very first stitch. Continue single crocheting along the side until you reach the stitch marker.
- Upon reaching the stitch marker, remove it, insert three single crochet stitches into the middle stitch, and then replace the stitch marker into the middle stitch of the new stitches.
- Continue single crocheting along the other side. Repeat this process for a total of 11 rows (or adjust according to the size).
Bra Cup Straps and Body:
- After the cups, chain 12 from one of the cups.
- Insert a half double crochet into the third chain from the hook and continue half double crocheting into each chain until you reach the bra cup.
- Continue half double crocheting along the bottom of the bra cup.
- For the second row of the body, chain one, turn your work, and half double crochet into every stitch along the row.
Repeat for a total of 8 rows.
Finishing:
To finish the edges, start at one corner and single crochet around the entire piece, creating straps at the bra cup tips by chaining 81, then slip stitch back along the chain to the cup.
- For the side straps, create a chain of 200 (or adjust the length as needed) for lacing up between the bra cups and through the spaces created along the sides of the body.
- Adjust the placement of the lace and ensure the straps are even lengths before securing them.
Add any additional details (e.g., more rows, decorative edges) to personalize your crop top.
