Pattern notes & stitches to know
ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
tr – treble crochet
trpc – treble popcorn (3 tr in same stitch, pull hook out from active loop, insert hook into first of the 3 tr, pull active loop through the first tr)
· written in US terms
· ch 3 counts as dc in round 1 & round 3 (this is noted in the pattern)
· ch 2 does not count
· ch 3 counts as dc in the border rows
· Top is made with flower squares sewn together (I used the join-as-you-go method – any joining method can be used). They are sewn together in two long rectangular panels (with granny stitch rows added to each side). The panels are sewn together to make a tunic-like top shape. Then a border around the bottom is added.
Sizes:
(S, M, L) (XL, 2X, 3X) – The pattern is written in these sizes consecutively. Example, when the pattern gives the end of row count ((144, 156, 168) (180, 192, 204) dc) the 144 is for S, 156 is M, 168 is L, 180 is XL, 192 is 2X, and 204 is 3X.
This top is a classic fit with some positive ease.
Approximate Finished Size:
