Enjoy Summer Top. Crochet pattern
J U N E 2 7, 2 0 1 8

am with another pattern with my new Enjoy Summer
Top.

Patterns for Summer Bundle along with other 6

Love it . You can use it as a top with a pair of
jeans or leggings or you can use it as a beach dress.
I let a small opening on the sides because even if is
crochet, has to be sexy. What I love the most is that
anyone can wear one of this, that’s why this pattern
is available in multiple sizes, from S to XXL.
I loved making this because it was easy and fast, so
you have to try it.
Final measurements for each size are:
S – Bust 90 cm (36 “)
M – Bust 100 cm ( 40 “)
L – Bust 110 cm ( 44 “)
XL – Bust 120 cm (48 “)
XXL – Bust 130 cm (52 “)
The length is the same for all sizes, 70 cm (28″), but
you can adjust it as you want.
As you saw in the pictures we will make a circle, that
will be the center motif of this Enjoy summer Top
and then we will transform this circle into a square.
I will give you the stitch numbers and rows for each
size according to my gauge, but if you want to use
another type of yarn or you didn’t get to the gauge,
just keep the pattern of the circle until you get to the
desired width. The width has to be half of the bust or
your hips circumference.
I used for this Enjoy Summer Top, Scheepjes Cotton
8. This is a Fingering, Super Fine weight yarn, but
you can use Fine weight too. I used a 3.5 mm ( E – 4
US Size) crochet hook.
You will approximate need for each size:
S – 850 yds ( 780 m/ 230 grams)
M – 940 yds (860 m/250 grams)
L – 1030 yds (940 m/280 grams)
XL – 1120 yds (1020 m/300 grams)
XXL – 1200 yds (1100 m /350 grams)
Abbreviations used in this pattern:
Ch – chain
Dc – double crochet
St (s) – stitch (es)
Sl st – slip stitch
Inc – increase
Special Stitches
V st – 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc in the same ch 1 space of the V st
of the previous round.
Inc – 1 dc, ch 1,1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc in the same ch 1 space.
Gauge
18 dc = 10 cm (4 “)
8 rows = 10 cm (4 “)
With all that info set, let’s begin
Back side
We will start with a magic ring
For all Sizes
Round 1
Ch3, 11 dc inside the ring. Sl st with the 3rd st of the
starting chain.
Round 2
Ch 3, 1 dc in the same st, 2 dc in each st to the end of
the round. Sl st with the 3rd st of the starting chain.
Round 3
Ch 4, 1 dc in the same st, ch 1, skip 1 st,[ 1 V st in the
next, ch 1, skip 1 st] – repeat this section to the end
of the round. Sl st with the 3 rd st of the turning ch.
Round 4
Ch 4, in the first space make 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch 1, 1 V
st in the next space (ch 1 of the previous row V st), ch
1,[ Inc in the next space, ch 1, 1 V st in the next space,
ch 1] – repeat the section between [ ] to the end of
the round. Sl st with the 3rd st of the starting chain.
Round 5
Ch 4, 1 dc in the same space, ch 1, 1 V st in the next ch
1 spaces until you get to the first V st after the inc
made on the previous row and make in this space 1
inc. Continue to the end of the round and sl st with
the 3rd st of the starting ch.
Beginning with round 5 we will follow the same
pattern until row 15:
1 V st in each ch 1 space ( of the V sts of the previous
round) , 1 Inc in the V st next to the inc made on the
previous round.
I hate counting stitches, that’s why I tried to find a
pattern that will help not to keep counting sts
At row 6 I changed the color, but you are free to play
with colors as you wish.
Rounds 6 – 15
Repeat round 5
Round 16
Before round 16 I notice that on my circle, the edges
began to curl, so at round 16 I didn’t increased I just
made 1 V st in each V st of the previous round.
Round 17
1 V st in each V st of the previous round, 1 inc in the
st that is after the inc on the round before the
previous.
Keep repeating the rounds 16 and 17 until you get to
the desired width or until you have in total:
S – 19 rounds (83 V sts)
M – 24 rounds (93 V sts)
L – 29 rounds ( 103 V sts)
XL – 34 rounds ( 113 V sts)
XXL – 39 round ( 123 V sts)
After finishing the circle is time to transform it in a
square.
This is how we will do that:
Lay the circle flat. You will notice 4 segments that
are straight ( top, bottom and side edges). Next to
the straight segment put a notebook or a cardboard
or something with straight and hard edges and mark
the first st that is beginning to be far from the
notebook.
Proceed the same until you have the first corner
marked.
Now you will have to count the V sts and make sure
that you have the same number of sts on the corners
and on the straight lines that are opposite.
You notice that at the end of the rounds we have 1 V
st in plus, but is not such a big deal. Just let this st on
the one side edge and let the top and the bottom
with the same number of V sts.
Size S
10 V sts for the corners,
10 V sts for the straight line on the top and on
the bottom,
11 V sts one side edges (on one side you will
have with 1 V st more)
Size M
12 V sts for the corners
11 V sts for the straight lines ( all 4)
Size L
13 V sts for the corners
12 V sts for the straight lines on the top and on
the bottom
13 sts on the side edges
Size XL
14 V sts for the corners
14 V sts for the straight lines
Size XXL
15 V sts for the corners
15 V sts for the straight lines on top and bottom
16 V sts for the side edges
After you marked the sts for the corners is time to
transform the circle in square.
We will work each corner separately.
Begin working on the right side and insert the hook
and yarn in the first st of the corner.
Row 1
Ch 4, 1 V st in the next V st, 1 V st in each V st until
you have 2 V sts left. In these 2 make 1 dc in the first,
ch 1, 1 dc in the last V st. Turn
In this way we will decrease at the beginning and at
the end of each row.
Repeat row 1 until you have no sts left.
Proceed the same with all corners.
This is how your square will look after you finish all
the corners.
Is not perfect, but is a square
Now after you have the square, all you have to do is
to work several more rows on the top and on the
bottom until you get to the desired length.
I made 13 more rows on each side.
Now that you have the desired length the back side
of the Enjoy summer Top is done and you will have
to make the front part in the same way.
Then, when yoh have both parts, join them to finish
the Top.
Sew on the shoulders 6 V sts on each side, approx 8-
9 cm.
Let for the arm holes 20 cm for sizes S and M, and 23
– 25 cm for larger sizes. Then sew the side edges. I
let a split on each side of 13 rows.
And this was it.

If on round 16 you didn’t increase, continue with 1 row with inc 1 row
without. It doesn’t work you can make a few rows without inc. I don’t
think you did something wrong is more about the yarn, work tension. I
tried working in different ways and every time looks different. That’s
why I said that you can stop inc even sooner then row 16, depending on
your work.

Hi dear,
For size S I used 100 grams (340 m) of white, 50 grams of dark blue and
almost 70 grams of green.
The skein of Scheepjes Cotton 8 has 50 grams and 170 m.
2 of white, 1 of dark blue and 1 and almost half of green.
So just double the amount of white
