Crochet Fringe Top
Materials Needed:

- Crochet hook (size not specified)
- Stitch markers
- Scissors
Pattern
Starting Off:
- Begin with a slip knot.
- Chain 9 to create the base of the top.
- Double crochet (DC) into the 3rd stitch from the hook.
- Continue double crocheting in each stitch down the chain. Count the initial chain 2 as a DC.
Increasing:
- In the last stitch of the row, add an additional DC (making 2 DC in the last stitch), then chain 1.
- Mark this chain with a stitch marker.
- Insert 2 more DC into the same last stitch.
- Now, crochet along the opposite side of your work with the same number of double crochets to keep symmetry (should have 10 DC on both sides).
Color Change:
- Start the color switch by partially completing a DC, changing colors before the final yarn pull-through.
- Chain up 2 and continue DC in each stitch till the marked stitch.
- When you reach the marked stitch, DC, chain 1, and insert another DC into that chain stitch.
- This sets up the pattern for subsequent rows.
Further Rows:
- Repeat the established pattern for each row:
- DC in each stitch until the marked stitch, where you add a DC, chain 1, and another DC.
- Continue this for as many rows as needed to cover your chest comfortably.
- The video suggests completing 8 rows but adjust according to personal need.
Color Pattern:
- The pattern encourages employing personal color choices.
- For the tutorial, colors switched in this order: original color, yellow, lime green, blue, and repeated with the original orange/brown.
Mesh Edging:
- After your last DC row, chain 3 and turn your work.
- Skip a stitch, then DC in the next, chain 1, skip a stitch, and DC. Continue this mesh pattern around the top edge.
- At the center marked stitch, diversify by adding 3 DCs within it to accentuate the central line.
Finalizing The Edging:
- Tie chains of 10 at the ends of both panels for tying behind the back.
- For added aesthetics and functionality, crochet along the connecting edge of both breast cups.
- Use a single crochet (SC) around the entire bottom edge for a clean finish, placing 2 SCs around every DC edge.
Adding Fringes and Straps:
- Cut six strands of 70 inch long yarn; attach three to each side of the top by crocheting them in, then braid down.
- Lace the back in a criss-cross pattern, skipping every other stitch for efficiency.
- Add fringe at the bottom of the top, alternating colors that match the top’s color pattern, attaching the fringe in every other SC around the edge.
