Crochet yarn and hook: I used 100% cotton sport yarn in
5 colors (terracotta {150gr}, mustard {40 gr}, sunny yellow {20 gr},
brown and off-white {15 gr each}) metal 3 mm hook (UK11) (US 10/3).
The granny stripe pattern is used to make this top.
Used terms in American terminology: chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st.), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc), dc2tog, 3-ch picot
Other: 4 buttons, sewing needle and thread, tapestry needle. The tutorial shows how to make crochet covered buttons (buttons size 2mm).
Length of finished top buttoned up: 39 cm (15.3”) across and 26 cm (10.2”) down. Fit size: S/M.
The top can be made in one color only, for which you will need about 240-250 grams of yarn depending on whether you crochet more loosely or tensely. Leftover yarn is great for this project.

You made such a beautiful crochet top Maya. It looks great on your daughter and you are so talented.
Thank you, Julie!
Beautiful top Maya.
Yes, very retro, and such good work!
Love it!! You did an awesome job 🙂
Nice one!
It's so pretty and I love the colors! If only to be young again and able to wear this. I would have worn this in a heartbeat in my 20s and I was an avid crocheter back then too.
Such a cute top - the colours you chose are so good to give it that retro vibe! Looks lovely!
Hope that you are having a lovely week :)

This is stunning, Maya! It's perfect for summer and it compliments Eva so much, she looks gorgeous in it.
Thank you Shami!
Glad you like it, Michele! Thank you for the lovely comment!
Thank you :)
Thank you!
Thank you Marie! I wish I could fit into it and wear it. But on the other hand, I might make one for myself, but a longer one for modesty.
Thank you for the visit and lovely comment Mica! Wishing you a lovely weekend ahead!
Thank you so much!
Oh, thank you dear Alhana! She loves it too!
This is lovely, I only have a couple of crochet garments but I'd love to make more.
This is darling, Maya! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm--pinned!

Your crochet top would fit right into the 70s:) I just love what you did and the color combo. Thank you for sharing it at the FWF party.
Happy 4th of July weekend to you, Maya!
I love this retro crocheted top you made and if this is your daughter, she looks lovely in it!!! I am happy to feature your post at this week's Share Your Style #308. It reminds me soooo much of a couple of cute thin strapped blouses I had in high school that I wore all summer... Very cute pattern! And I like that if someone wants it longer, bigger, you can add more to the pattern. I've done that with a sweater pattern I altered and knit for my daughter when she was little.
Have a great Independence Day and weekend,
Barb :)
