i decided this top just wasn't getting enough wear - so instead of it going to waste i wanted to re-make it into a new top !
how to make the top:
- chain however many stitches fits your body
- 1 row of single crochet
- 2 rows of gappy triple crochet
- 1 row of gappy double crochet
- 12 rows double crochet
- 1 row gappy double crochet
- measure out where you want your straps to sit - i did this by putting on the top and counting how many stitches wide i wanted the straps to be and also how many stitches i wanted left between the straps. my straps were 4 gappy double crochets wide. i left 6 gappy double crochets for the arm holes and 8 gappy double crochets for the front and back.
- 24 rows of gappy double crochet for each strap - then slip stitch to the back of the top
- start working on the sleeve. attach some yarn on one of the underarm stitches and chain up 4. then do a gappy triple crochet around each of the underarm and strap stitches so that you make a circle. work out to complete the sleeve. i did 27 rows of gappy triple crochet.
- i chose to decrease the amount of stitches in the round for the sleeves to make them tighter - i did this by skipping some stitches on the underarm section when working in the round.
- repeat for other sleeve
- i attached some straps across the back of my top. i did this by attaching some yarn to the strap - chaining across 18 - attaching the chain to the other strap and then doing a gappy double crochet back across to the original strap.
