Edgy Croptop

Tutorial for the Edgy Croptop (Credit for the name @thequeenstitch)

  • Yarn: Lana Rossa Merino 3,5-4mm, I used white and dark green for the border.
  • Needle size: 3,5mm
  • Made for: 75B/75C


I would recommend to crochet top to bottom. I tried both and noticed that each "Low" leaves little holes as we crochet three into the same chain, and each peak makes it nice and tight as we crochet three together. Therefore, we want peaks to cover our nipples ;) 
  1. Chain 90 (6*15, each "peak" needs 15 up and 15 down. This top has three peaks.) If you have bigger breasts, chain 6*18 (or more!)
  2. Flip work, crochet 14, for 15 crochet three in same chain (first low in the top, but as we work upside down it looks like a peak while you are doing it)
  3. Crochet 14, for 15 crochet three together (first Peak)
  4.  Crochet 14, for 15 crochet three in same chain (Second low)
  5. Crochet 14, for 15 crochet three together (second peak)
  6. crochet 14, for 15 crochet three in same chain (third low)
  7. Crochet 15, chain one, flip work
  8. Skip one! Crochet 14, for 15 crochet three in same... and so on 
  9. Crochet as many rows as you want- I did 24
  10. Take your second colour and crochet around it once. Remember to do the lows and peaks.


Depending on your size, chain the straps and attach them to the top like shown in the picture. 
Done :) Feel free to link me in your creation, I would love to see what you made!



Happy Crocheting!

Love,
