Tutorial: A Crochet Summer Top
In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to crochet a one-shoulder top that is perfect for the summer.
I’ll be walking you through step by step, making it very easy to follow along. Let’s get started!
Tools and materials:
- Crochet hook
- Yarn
- Scissors
- Tape measure
- Bobby pins
1. Make a chain
Start by making a chain with 200 stitches.
2. Double crochet
Next, double crochet across.
3. Tie ends together
Cut the ends, tie them together, and set the chain aside.
4. Measure waist
Next, measure your waist circumference. My waist measured 26 inches (66cm).
5. Crochet a chain
Then crochet a chain to the length of your waist measurement.
6. Double crochet
Proceed to double-crochet until the chain covers your bust.
7. Mark a quarter of the rectangle
Next, fold your crochet rectangle and mark a quarter of the length. Insert bobby pins to mark that point.
8. Crochet the quarter
Now crochet in only this quarter of a rectangle area.
On each end, double-crochet two together to decrease the width.
It creates a triangular shape.
9. Attach first piece
Grab the first chain that you crocheted. Mark the center of each piece and line it up.
Use a slip stitch to connect a few inches.
10. Connect sides
Fold the entire thing in half and then connect the sides.
11. Connect strap
The final step is to connect the strap.

Here is the finished look.
I love the asymmetrical, one-shoulder appearance, as well as the chain going under the main part of the top and tied at the side in a bow.
I paid great attention to detail when crocheting this top which has given me a very neat and clean finish.
