  • In this video, learn how to crochet this DIY crop top step by step. The crochet top pattern is pretty simple (make it for any size) & the elastic band gives this DIY tube top a flawless fit. Hope you guys enjoy this crochet tutorial 🦋 Follow for new designs → bit.ly/amandalovesantos
    WHAT I USED:
    - mercerized cotton yarn (size:dk)
    - 5.00 mm, 3.75 mm hook, & 2.25 mm hook
    - white round elastic cord (1/16 inch)
    - yarn needle
    - scissors
    - measuring tape
    STEPS - HOW TO MAKE A CROP TOP:
    1. Crochet the ribbed band using 3.75 mm hook to your custom size. (1:57)
    2. Build the body of the crop top using 5.00 mm hook to your desired length. (4:46)
    3. Add the elastic band to the top using the 2.25 mm hook. (6:50)
    4. Hide any loose ends of yarn using a yarn needle. & that completes the DIY crochet crop top! (13:52)
    CROCHET STITCHES USED:
    - single crochet
    - double crochet
    - front post stitch
    - up & down stitch (optional)
    HOW TO WASH THE TOP:
    I recommend hand washing the crochet top with cold water and mild soap, ring it out gently & lay flat on towel to dry. If your using cotton yarn, heat can shrink your top so be careful!

    Really nice top and helpful tutorial, I'd love to have a go but I'm fairly new to crochet - how long does a project like this take?

    • @AmandaLoveSantos
      @AmandaLoveSantos  6 років тому +14

      Thank you so much, I appreciate that :) For me, it took about 4 hours give or take. I think it depends on how fast you stitch though because I've seen other ladies here on youtube who stitch super fast. Also depends on the size. I am a size small, but larger sizes will take longer. Hope that helps you!

    Hey everyone! Thought I would leave a review of the pattern in case you were having some questions!
    1. I used weight 3 yarn, specifically Lion Brand CoBoo yarn in Beige. Size small used less than 2 skeins. (50% bamboo 50% cotton and incredibly soft)
    2. For the band I had a really hard time doing the front post stich around the first and last stitch of each row and opted to do a regular single crochet in the first and last stitch of the row. This is stretching but not as much/stiffer.
    3. I used an unstretched measurement of the band to corrilate to my body measurement (which I later regretted). Highly recommend measuring the band slightly stretched. I did 110 rows for the band.
    4. For the up and down stitch I was having a hard time getting the last double crochet in the chain 1 at the beginning of the previous row so I opted to start each row with a single crochet after chaining 1 and then continuing 1dc 1sc 1dc until the end of the row, chain 1.
    5. I really wish she would have shared how long she made hers or how many rows she did. I think she did 9" or 34 rows but I am not for certain. I only did 30 then followed with the elastic and single crochet.
    6. The elastic. I used 1/8" elastic double layered and it was noticeable- of course.
    7. Unfortunately, the top is too big on me and just looks odd with it being more of a size medium on an x small body and won't be wearing it which is disappointing as this was probably an 8 hour projects (on and off between work).
    Overall, thank you for the pattern! I just wish the maker would have answered some of the questions people asked in the comments.

    I made this but I used a bit thicker of a yarn and a 5.5mm hook and it turned out to be pretty cute and a bit warmer for fall. Thanks for the pattern!

    This is a great top. I’m not as shapely as you, but I can certainly wear it under a jacket or open blouse.
    Your explanations were very clear and well paced.
    Thanks for the time stamps too.

    Hi
    In the body part of pattern.. ur chain 1 after u turn for each row.. does that chain 1 count as a stitch or not? So do we place our first double crochet in the same stitch as the chain 1 or in the next stitch?
    Thank you 😊

    @mamabearthrives7815 5 років тому

    Love this tutorial, thank you, When you first start the body and do the alternating single and double crochets, are you going into the Stitch or the space? I thought I saw you doing a single and a double in each space, but I couldn't quite make out exactly, Btw, I made your bikini top, turned out awesome ! Thank you much ♡

    Is this size equivalent to medium size - 36inch?

  • @jayani9695
    @jayani9695 5 років тому

    1) do you HAVE to use elastic ? 2) is this good for kind of thicker yarn?

    • @AmandaLoveSantos
      @AmandaLoveSantos  5 років тому +2

      I have never tried it without the elastic, but if you didn't have access to elastic, you could make a drawstring from yarn and use that as your "band". I am actually thinking of making a different version of this top with a drawstring, I think it would be cute!

    • @AmandaLoveSantos

      In the video, I’ll actually explain how to create a size that fits you. You pretty much just need to measure yourself in a few different areas & use those measurements when crocheting yours
