Crochet The Lilly Top
Sure, based on the information provided from your scrape, here’s a step-by-step pattern to create the Lilly top as detailed in the video:
Materials Needed:
- Lily Sugar and Cream cotton yarn (Color: Jade Mist)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- 5 mm crochet hook (Clover Amour hook)
Size Guide:
- This tutorial makes a size small, with a guide for other sizes and typed instructions available in the video description.
Pattern:
Start:
- Make a slip knot and chain 12.
Row 1:
- Work into the back humps of the chains. Skip the first chain and single crochet into the second chain and each back hump across until the last chain.
- In the last chain, make 3 single crochets.
- Turn your work to crochet down the other side, placing single crochets in each back hump. Consider marking the middle stitch of the top 3 single crochets for easier row increases.
Row 2:
- Turn work without chaining (optional: you can chain 1 if preferred). Single crochet in each stitch up to the marked stitch.
- In the marked stitch, make 3 single crochets. Continue with single crochets down the other side.
Repeat:
- Continue the pattern of increasing in the center stitch on each row until you have a total of 10 rows for a size small. Make sure to count the rows from the center outwards.
Double Crochet with Spaces Row After 10 Rows:
- Turn work, start with a stacked single crochet (make a single crochet, then another into the front loop of the stitch you just made).
- Chain 1, skip a stitch, and double crochet into the next. Repeat this pattern until the top center of the cup.
- At the top, make sure to include a chain 1 between the double crochets in the center stitch for a small V-stitch. Continue the pattern down the other side.
Finishing the Cup:
- End your row with a double crochet in the last stitch. Cut your yarn and tie off.
Bottom Band and Sides:
- Start with a chain to your desired length for extending the sides. Attach your yarn to a cup and single crochet across the bottom. Repeat for the second cup and chain on the opposite side to match the first extension.
- Turn work and create rows of double crochets with chain spaces, followed by several rows of single crochet to your desired band width.
Top Edging and Straps:
- Once the bottom band is complete, crochet around the cups and top, finishing with chaining for straps.
- Slip stitch back down the straps for added thickness, then slip stitch around the top edge for a smooth finish.
Lacing and Final Touches:
- Lace up the straps in a criss-cross pattern through the center stitches made at the tops of the cups. Adjust for fit and preference.
- Remember, more detailed size guides and additional instructions are available in the video description if needed.
- This pattern is ideal for those with intermediate crochet skills and looking to create a custom, comfortable top with a professional finish.
