Introduction

Welcome to another tutorial! In this tutorial, we will be making a sleeveless tattoo neck crop top. This cute and easy-to-pair top is a go-to everyday outfit that you'll love. So let's gather our materials and get started!

Materials Needed

To make this sleeveless crop top, you will need the following materials:

• Six millimeter hook
• Pair of scissors
• Stitch markers (optional)
• Needle
• Tape measure
• Yarn (chunky weight)

Making the Front Panel

We will start by making the front panel of the crop top. To begin, create a slip knot and make a chain of 20 stitches. Adjust the number of chains depending on the desired length of the top. This will give you a size small to medium, but you can make it bigger by increasing the number of chains.

Next, chain one and work a modified half double crochet into each stitch. This stitch is similar to a half double crochet, but it's unfinished. Chain one and turn your work.

Now, work a modified half double crochet into the back loop only of each stitch. This will create a ribbing effect. Continue working the modified half double crochets until you reach the last stitch. Finish the row by working two modified half double crochets into the last stitch to increase the width.

Making the Back Panel

The back panel of the crop top will be made similar to the front panel. Follow the same steps and instructions to create the back panel, mirroring the front panel. Once you reach the desired number of rows for the back panel, move on to the next step.

Starting the Sides

Now it's time to start working on the sides of the crop top. Work one modified half double crochet into each stitch, as before. Continue working in this manner until you reach the bottom of the top.

Working Up to the Neck

With the sides completed, we will now work up to the neck. To create the turtle neck, make a chain of four (or more for a longer neck). Chain one and work one modified half double crochet into each stitch. Repeat this process for enough rows to cover half of your neck.

Making the Turtle Neck

Once you have enough rows to cover the front part of your neck, it's time to start working on the other side of the shoulder. Work one modified half double crochet into each stitch, except for the last four stitches. This will reduce the width to the level of the shoulder. Chain one and continue working one modified half double crochet into each stitch. Repeat this process for 11 rows or as needed to match the previous shoulder.

Working the Other Side of the Shoulder

Next, work one modified half double crochet into 21 stitches to create the under part of the arm. Then, work one modified half double crochet into the next 20 stitches, leaving one stitch. Adjust the number of stitches according to your initial chain.

Joining the Front and Back Panels

The final step is to join the front and back panels. Follow the instructions provided and refer to the video if needed. Once the front and back panels are joined, you can make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
