Crochet top “Salli”
A crocheted top is suitable for different outfits and can be varied with details
In this instruction we will crochet a top that can be customized in size and shape. You can make the linen tighter or looser, depending on how you want the fit to be. The chain that you crochet at the beginning determines the width and in the table below you will see how to measure correctly to get to a good size.
The linen is crocheted with our yarn EKO Nano and crochet needles size 7 or 8 (this is a matter of taste, with a larger needle the structure becomes a little more airy). So that you can follow text and video at the same time, we have marked the seconds of the YouTube video next to the section title.
Yarn consumption: 350-500g depending on size
This is what you need:
Here's how to do it
The chain 0:58
Start by measuring around your chest and crochet the first chain to the correct length.
“Slim fit” - the linen sits tight to the body
XS 72 cm - Crochet 68 loops in the chain
S 76 cm - Crochet 72 loops in the chain
M 80 cm - Crochet 78 loops in the chain
L 84 cm - Crochet 84 loops in the chain
XL 88 cm - Crochet 90 loops in the chain
XXL 92 cm - Crochet 96 loops in the chain
“Draped Back” - The linen hangs slightly on the back side
XS/S - Crochet 96 loops in the chain
M/L - Crochet 102 loops in the chain
XL/XXL - Crochet 108 loops in the chain
Make the chain to the desired length, as shown in the video. When you are done with the chain, make sure it is straight and not “twisted” Put both ends together.
Middle 5:27
Now it´s time for the double crochet stitch, this will be the only technique you follow all the way through. Follow the video on how to make the stitch and then continue doing the same until you have the height you want for your top. Once you have the height, you should secure the end so it doesn´t come loose. Hide the end by weaving it into the pattern so it is not visible.
Strap 13:03
Shoulder straps can also be braided or crocheted, but in this instruction, we make the shoulder strap from the yarn and fasten on both sides. Make the shoulder straps as long as you want them, and tie them together with the top.
Now you are done with your top! :)
