Crochet Viral Granny Top Tutorial
Materials Needed:
- Black and white yarn for a bicolor theme.
- Crochet needle.
Making Granny Squares:
Granny Square Design:
- The creator chose a 5-round granny square design for larger squares to reduce the number of pieces to sew together.
Color Scheme:
- Opted for a simple black and white color scheme for a chic look.
Constructing the Crop Top:
Initial Plan:
- Aimed to create a piece with enough granny squares that could form a sort of bandeau top, with estimates around eight squares for the top piece.
Sewing Squares Together:
- Started to join the granny squares, initially completing six squares and assessing fit.
Adjustment Stage:
- After some fitting, decided to add an extra square for better coverage and fit.
Adding Details:
- Outlined the granny squares with white slip stitches for a neat finish.
- Performed a single crochet stitch around the entire piece, deliberately hooking into a section of black from the squares to maintain a cohesive look and form a base stitch for additional ribbing.
Finishing Touches:
- Added two rows of black crochet around the edges to define the piece further.
- Integrated a long chain of crochet stitches to fasten the top at the front, making sure it was stretchy yet ample in length to tie
- Embellished the top and edges with a single crochet in white to complete the look.
Straps and Finalizing:
- Explored the option of ribbing for the bottom and sides for added texture but opted for a clean finish.
- Decided to create straps separately, then attach them post-construction to allow for adjustability and fit.
Reflecting on Project:
- The creator expressed love for the final product, emphasizing the perfect fit and look of the crochet top.
- Planned for a matching skirt to complete the ensemble, suggesting a follow-up project or part two might delve into the skirt construction.
