How to Make a Crochet Flower Top

Crochet flower tops are fun and trendy fashion pieces that you can make at home. In this tutorial, I will guide you step by step on how to create your own crochet flower top. With the right materials and basic crochet skills, you'll be able to make a stunning flower top that you can wear with pride.

1. Introduction

Crochet flower tops have become increasingly popular in recent years. They are versatile, stylish, and perfect for the summer season. By following this tutorial, you'll learn how to create intricate crochet flower patterns and create a beautiful top that will surely turn heads.

2. Materials Needed

Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather all the materials you'll need for this project:

• Three colors of yarn of your choice
• Scissors
• Darning needle
• Crochet hook (3.75 millimeter recommended)

Make sure to choose yarn colors that complement each other and align with your personal style. Once you have all the materials ready, we can begin creating our crochet flower top.

3. Innermost Circle

To start off, we will begin by creating the innermost circle of the flower. Follow these steps:

3.1 Creating a Slip Knot

Make a slip knot with one end of your yarn, leaving a small loop at the end.

3.2 Making the Chain

Using your crochet hook, make a chain of three stitches. This chain will serve as the foundation for the inner circle.

3.3 Adding Single Crochets

Go back to the first chain stitch you made and insert your hook into it. Add 10 single crochets into the same stitch. This will create a small circle.

Continue to add single crochets in the same stitch until you have a total of 10 single crochets in the circle. This completes the innermost circle of the flower.

4. Outer Circle

Now that we have the innermost circle, it's time to move on to the outer circle. Follow these steps:

4.1 Adding a New Color

Slip stitch the next color of yarn onto your work. This will create a seamless transition between the inner and outer circles.

4.2 Chaining One and Adding Single Crochets

Chain one and add one single crochet in the same stitch where you added the new color. This will secure the yarn and create the first stitch of the outer circle.

Continue to go around the circle, adding two single crochets in each stitch. By the end, you should have a total of 20 single crochets in the outer circle.

5. Petals

The petals are the most eye-catching part of the crochet flower top. Follow these steps to create beautiful and intricate petals:

5.1 Changing Colors

Once again, make a color change by slip stitching the new color onto your work. Chain three, which will count as one of the stitches.

5.2 Chaining Three

Take note not to make the chains too tight. Chains serve as the foundation for each row of the petals.

5.3 Row One of the Petal

Add two double crochets into the next three stitches. In the fourth stitch, add one double crochet. By the end of the row, you should have a total of eight double crochets, including the initial chain three.

5.4 Row Two and Beyond

Turn your work and add one double crochet in each of the eight stitches. Repeat this step for a total of five rows.

Continue repeating these steps for the remaining petals of the flower. By the end, you should have a total of five completed petals.

6. Completing the Petals

Once you've finished all five petals, slip stitch the first and last petals together. Chain one, and then cut the yarn and secure the end. To make the petals lie flat, gently block them. Congratulations, you've completed a flower!

Repeat the entire process four more times to create a total of five flowers.

7. Trimming or Edging the Flower

To add a finishing touch to your flower top, we'll trim the edges. Follow these steps:

Make a slip knot and add one single crochet along the perimeter of the flower, finding little holes or openings to insert your hook.

Continue adding single crochets until you've completed a trim all around the flower. Slip stitch into the beginning of the trim, chain one, and then cut the yarn. Pull tightly to secure the trim.

8. Connecting the Flowers

Now it's time to connect the flowers to create the final flower top. Take a look at the provided photo to see where I chose to place slip stitches in order to connect the flowers. You can choose to connect your flowers differently, depending on your preference.

9. Creating the Straps

To create the straps for your flower top, hold your work up to your body and find the placement for the chains. Once you've determined the length, chain 70. You can adjust the length of the chain based on your body measurements and personal preference.

10. Final Steps and Conclusion

All that's left to do is to weave in any loose ends and secure them. Congratulations, you've completed your crochet flower top!
