Crochet Slim Fit Spider Web Top Tutorial

Materials:

Yarn
Crochet Hook
Stitch Marker

Getting Started:

Make a slip knot and chain 4.
Skip 3 chains from the hook and make a slip stitch into the fourth chain to form a small circle.

For Round 1:

Chain 4 (counts as one treble crochet).
Add one more chain for a chain space.
Make a treble crochet into the circle.
Chain 1, then make another treble crochet into the circle.
Repeat around until you have 14 treble crochets.
Include the initial chain in your stitch count for a total of 15 stitches.
Chain 1, then connect with a slip stitch into the fourth chain.

Round 2:

Chain 4 (counts as a treble crochet).
Increase by adding two more chains into your previous chain space (total of three chains).
Skip the chain one space and make a treble crochet into the next stitch.
Mark at the fourth chain.
Repeat the pattern of chain 3, skip chain 1 space, and make a treble crochet all around.
After the last treble crochet, add three more chains, then join with a slip stitch into the fourth chain.

Round 3:

Chain 4 (counts as a treble crochet).
Chain 5 (for a chain space), skip the chain space below and make a treble crochet into the next stitch.
Repeat the pattern of chain 5, skip chain space, make a treble crochet around.
After reaching the last chain space, chain 5 and join with a slip stitch to complete the round.

Continuing Rounds:

Keep increasing by adding two more chains into your previous chain space for each new round until you reach the desired size.
The total length of the spider web should equal your front bust measurement.

Web Drop (Distressed Look):

After completing the desired rounds (up until round 6 for the example provided), start round 7 by chaining 4.
Make a treble crochet, then create a lengthy loop on your hook for the web drop effect.
Chain 13 (or the required length for your pattern) but partially, then create a web drop by pulling a long loop.
Continue adding chains to reach 13 or the number that matches your chain space, then make a treble crochet into the next stitch.

Assembling:

Follow the instructions to create front and back parts.
Attach both pieces together at the shoulders and sides, leaving openings for the armholes.
For the sleeves, attach yarn at the underarm and work in rounds, gradually decreasing chain spaces as instructed to achieve the desired sleeve length.
