Crochet Rose Top
Rose Pattern:
Foundation:
- Chain 52. Work into the back loops of the chain for this pattern.
Row 1:
- Double crochet into the 4th chain from the hook (the skipped chains count as a double crochet).
- Chain 2, then make 2 more double crochets into the same space.
- Chain 1, skip 2 chains, and repeat the process in the next chain: 2 double crochets, chain 2, 2 double crochets into the same space. This forms a cluster.
- Continue this pattern until the end of your chain.
Row 2:
- Turn the work and chain 1.
- Work into the chain 2 space of the clusters: do 5 half double crochets in the first cluster space.
- Single crochet into the chain 1 space between clusters.
- Repeat 5 half double crochets in the next cluster space, followed by a single crochet in the chain 1 space, after every cluster.
- For this row, you will create 3 petals total.
Next Rows:
- Increase the number of double crochets in each cluster to form petals, following this sequence:
- First section with 5 half double crochets per cluster.
- Next section with 6 double crochets per cluster.
- Next, skip a cluster and single crochet in the chain 1 space before and after it.
- Following four clusters: do 7 double crochets for four petals.
- Skip the next cluster, single crochet to skip.
- In the next cluster, perform 8 double crochets and a single crochet in the chain 1 space afterward.
- In the final four clusters, create 8 treble crochets per cluster for four petals.
- Finish with one double crochet at the end.
Assembly:
- Turn the work upside down and work into the spaces between the double crochets, doing a half double crochet in each space.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a length for sewing, and fasten off.
- Weave the tail through a yarn needle and begin to roll the rose up, stitching the layers together as you go.
Top Pattern:
Cups:
Foundation:
- Chain an uneven number that runs from the center of your chest around your underbust, adding one more chain at the end.
Row 1:
- Half double crochet into the second chain from the hook. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch.
- Your first step is to half double crochet in each stitch to the end, finishing with a decrease (crocheting two stitches together).
- Turn the work, chain 1, and do a decrease at the beginning of the next row. Continue half double crocheting to the end.
- Repeat these steps until you have completed 5 rows.
Row 6 onwards:
- Start and end each row with a decrease until you have 11 stitches in a row.
- Continue without decreases for 20 rows or to your desired strap length.
Front Panels:
- Reattach your yarn at the base of the cup.
- Chain one, then half double crochet in each stitch to the end of the row, ending with a decrease.
- Repeat, chaining one and turning your work, no more decreases from this point.
- Continue until you have 26 rows or your desired length.
Joining and Finishing:
- Stitch the front panels at the top for the straps.
- Attach the rose centered on the front panels.
- Measure for the back panel by wearing the top, pulling it taut to how you want it to fit.
- Crochet the back panel according to your measured width and the same length as the front panels without the decrease rows. Use half double crochets and match the number of rows to your front panels.
- Fold in the sides of the back panel to align with the front panels.
- Single crochet the back panel to the front panels, matching the points marked with stitch markers.
- Weave in any loose ends to finish.
