Crochet Rainbow Bamboo Top Pattern

Materials Needed

Yarn: Rainbow Bamboo Hobby (60% bamboo, 40% cotton). You will need approximately 200 grams (2 skeins) for this top.
Crochet Hook: Use 4mm (although the yarn suggests a 3mm hook, this project requires a slightly larger hook for better drape).
Other Tools: Scissors, 2 stitch markers.

Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Foundation & Measurements

Determine Chain Length:
- Measure from one side of your hip to the other (for the front panel only). Stretch the chains slightly while measuring to ensure the top fits snugly (it will not hang loosely due to fabric elasticity).
- Chains Formula: Use multiples of 6, then add 9 stitches.
  - Example: If “6 x 12 = 72,” then “72 + 9 = 81 (total chains).”
Chain Foundation:
- Crochet the total number of chains needed (e.g., 81 chains for size S).
- Place a stitch marker in the first chain to keep track when working in rounds.

2. First Round: Starting the Motif

Step 1: Base Motif
- Start by skipping 5 chains from the hook. In the 6th chain, crochet:
  - 1 Double Crochet (DC),
  - Chain 3,
  - 1 DC (into the same chain).
Step 2: Create Group of 3 DC:
- Skip 2 chains, and in the 3rd chain, crochet:
  - 3 DC (all into the same stitch).
Repeat:
- Alternate between (DC, Chain 3, DC) and 3 DC until you reach the end of the chains.
End the Round:
- At the last motif, finish with a DC into the first marked chain.
- Turn your work.

3. Building the Fabric – Alternating Rounds

Round 2: Interchange Placement of Motifs:
- Begin with 3 Chains (counts as the first DC), followed by:
  - DC, Chain 3, DC into the center of the group of 3 DC from the previous round.
  - 3 DC into the center chain of the previous (DC, Chain 3, DC) motif.
Repeat:
- Alternate placement of motifs in circular rows until you reach the end.
- Always begin and end each round with a DC.
Continuing Rounds:
- Repeat this alternating motif structure for the desired length of your panel:
  - For example, 29 rounds for size S (crop top) or longer for a full-length top.

4. Neck & Shoulders

Separate the Front Panel:
- Measure the width of the front panel:
  - Example: A rectangle measuring 48cm x 35cm (width x height).
- Divide the motifs:
  - 7 motifs for one shoulder, 11 motifs for the neck, and 7 motifs for the other shoulder.
Create Neck Space:
- Chain 45 for the neckline (adjust as needed to fit over your head). Join this chain into the space marked for the opposite shoulder, ensuring the neckline is straight.
Crochet Shoulder Sections:
- Work 7 motifs each for both shoulders across their corresponding spaces, continuing to replicate the motif pattern.
Back Panel:
- Repeat the process for the front panel to create an identical rectangle for the back.

5. Assembly

Join Sides:
- Use a Slip Stitch (SS) method to join the front and back panels along their sides.
- Leave space for armholes (approximately 19cm) on each side.
Sleeve Flares:
- For each armhole edge:
  - Work 1 DC, Chain 2, 1 DC into each gap along the edge.
  - Repeat around the armhole for the desired number of rounds to create a flare effect.

6. Finishing Touches

Optional Bottom Edging:
- Add a waistband or decorative edge around the hem to customize the style further.
- Use Slip Stitch or SC rounds to create neat finishes.
Hide Loose Ends:
- Securely hide any remaining yarn tails using a wool needle.
