For this simple crochet top pattern you’re going to need cotton yarn if you follow the pattern suggestion, the Cotton DK yarn from Paintbox. It comes in all these beautiful shades & the dress in the pictures is made in pistachio.
This cotton is soft, it works up beautifully & works well for crocheting garments.
Don’t want to use cotton? Well, there’s plenty other yarns to choose from. A great way to go would be to try Paintbox Simply DK. The result might change slightly, but this is also a yarn that comes in lots of great shades.
This simple top down raglan top can also be made in any yarn & color. Why not make one in soft wool for winter to keep yourself warm & have one ready in cotton for summer?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
The simple crochet top is a great basic crochet tee for your wardrobe. Make it in all the colors & you’ll have a tee for every occasion!
This crochet top can be made sizes XS – 5XL & is very easy to adjust it to your size.
13 stitches & 21 rows per 10 cm / 4”.
Step 1: Ch 2 st.
Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Step 3: Insert hook into prev “chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches. *2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1 st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.
Crocheted with the exact same steps as a normal single crochet, however you’ll insert the hook differently.
Insert the hook between the legs of the next st, pull up a loop to slightly higher than your hook/previous stitch, you have 2 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through both loops on hook.
Crocheted with the exact same steps as a normal single crochet, however you’ll crochet the stitch intentionally looser to prepare for a split single crochet (ssc).
Crocheted with the exact same steps as a normal single crochet, however you’ll only insert the hook in the back loop of the stitch.
Crocheted with the exact same steps as a normal single crochet, however you’ll only insert the hook in the front loop of the stitch.
Used to decrease stitches.
Yoke
Note: The SSC stitches needs to be crocheted quite loose to make this an easy top to crochet, see more in notes.

Finishing The Yoke
Fasten off & cut yarn.
Block yoke before continuing on the body (optional). Do not stretch the yoke, but just straighten the split single crochet stitches.
Body
PM in each ssc stitch made in corners on the last row of the yoke. These stitches are included in the body stitch count.
Cont after the last row of the yoke. Attach thread to the last stitch on one long side of the yoke, in a marked scc made in the corner.
Round 1: Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), FSC 4 st, sk the whole short side of the yoke to make the first armhole (36 (42) 48 (54) 62 (68) 74 (82) 88 st), ssc in a marked ssc made in the next corner, scc in all st on the long side, scc in a marked scc made in the corner, FSC 4 st, sk the whole short side of the yoke to make the second armhole (36 (42) 48 (54) 62 (68) 74 (82) 88 st), ssc in a marked ssc made in the next corner, scc in all the stitches on the long side, sl st in ch from beg of round (= 112 (124) 136 (148) 164 (176) 188 (204) 216 st).
Round 2: Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), sc 1 in the next 4 st, ssc 1 in the next 52 (58) 64 (70) 78 (84) 90 (98) 104 st, sc 1 in the next 4 st, ssc 1 in the next 52 (58) 64 (70) 78 (84) 90 (98) 104 st, sl st in 1st st (= 112 (124) 136 (148) 164 (176) 188 (204) 216 st).

ARMS:
Please not that the instruction for the short sleeves doesn’t have to be made exact. It’s important to try on the garment & adjust how many stitches you need to decrease to make them fit you perfectly.
This could mean that you will only do sc2tog in every other stitch or every third on round 1.
Attach yarn in the 3rd FSC under the arm (one of the middle FSC stitches made).
Round 1: Ch 1, sc2tog in all st around the short side of the yoke, sl st in 1st st (22 (25) 28 (31) 35 (38) 41 (45) 48.
Round 2: Ch 1, sl st 1 in all st until end of round, sl st in 1st st (22 (25) 28 (31) 35 (38) 41 (45) 48.
Fasten off & cut yarn.
Finishing
Fasten threads & weave in ends.
Block the top to make split single crochet stiches line up.
