Square Simple Summer Top Cover

This is a really simple pattern consisting of chains, single crochet, double crochet and triple crochets. The yarn you use ist flexible, only make sure the length from row 1 is ok with you. Sizing: The amount of chains in row one defines the length of the top. The length of the finished top is 1/2 of the length of row 1. The repeat of the pattern defines the width of the top. **Left side of Top:** * Row 1: Start with chain (I always do a single crochet chain) of 193 stitches, turn *(Other sizes & lengths: chain the length you want but it always needs to be a multiple of 4 and then add 1 more stitch, e.g. 48 * 4+1 =193), -> this defines the length of the top. Adjust this to the length of the top that you want.)* * Row 2: crochet 193 single crochet (if you did a chain of single crochet at the start) or double crochets (if you did a simple chain in row 1) into the chain just made, turn * Row 3: chain 4+3 (= first treble crochet & chain space), *skip 3 stitches, treble crochet (4th stitch from last treble crochet), chain 3* , repeat from * to* until end of row, turn * Row 4. chain 4+2 (= first treble crochet & chain space), skip 2 stitches,* treble crochet (3th stitch from last stitch), chain 3*, repeat from * to* until end of row, turn * Row 5. repeat row 3. * Row 6. chain 3, double crochet in all stitches of the last row, turn * Row 7 - . repeat rows 3-6 three more times *(= you then have 12 treble crochet rows and 4 double crochet rows + first two rows) Note: if you do more or less repeats the top will me more narrow or have longer sleeves* **Right side of top:** * Crochet right side of top same as left side. **Finish your work** * **Join sides and leave head hole**: join both sides (use the last rows as its the prettiest), starting on the start of the row with a slip stitch until about 1/3 (so at least your head fits through), repeat joining from the other side of the piece. * **Armholes**: Similar to the middle seam, create the arm seam by slip stitching, this time you stich the same side on itself, closing about 1/4th of the seam, repeat on other side * **finish garment:** by adding a row of double crochets around the bottom of the top (start anywhere with 3 chains, always double crochet 4 into the triple crochet spaces and 3 double crochets into the double crochets * weave in loose ends * DONE!
