Maroon Summer Crochet Top — Design Plan Inspiration from image: ✔ Sleeveless structured top ✔ Clean neckline ✔ Light, breathable stitch texture ✔ Slightly fitted but relaxed summer look Your custom changes: • ✅ Dominant colour: Maroon • ✅ Rows of yellow + orange accents • ✅ Flowery lace stitch near neckline (chest area) • ✅ Elegant but airy summer finish ⸻ 🧶 Yarn & Hook Recommendation Since you usually work with Yeye 3-ply held double: • Yarn: Yeye 3-ply (double strand) • Colours: • Maroon — 70% (main yarn) • Yellow — 15% • Orange — 15% • Hook size: • 4 mm → neat structured look (recommended) • 4.5 mm → softer drape ⸻ 🪡 Stitch Structure (Top Sections) The top will be worked bottom → upward. 1️⃣ Body Section (Dominant Maroon) Use a breathable textured stitch similar to the reference image. Recommended stitch: ✔ Mini mesh / modified V-stitch Pattern repeat: Row 1: DC across Row 2: (DC, ch1, skip 1 st) repeat Row 3: DC into each DC and ch space Repeat Rows 2–3 This creates: • airflow for summer • neat structured texture • not overly transparent 👉 Work mostly in maroon. ⸻ 🎨 Colour Placement (Important for Balance) Keep maroon dominant by spacing accent rows intentionally. Example layout: 8 rows Maroon 1 row Yellow 6 rows Maroon 1 row Orange 8 rows Maroon 1 row Yellow Continue pattern ✅ Accent rows should be SINGLE rows only. This keeps elegance instead of looking striped. ⸻ 🌼 2️⃣ Chest Area — Flowery Lace Panel When you reach upper chest (about 3–4 inches below neckline) switch stitch pattern. Use yellow OR orange (choose ONE for cleaner design — I recommend yellow for brightness against maroon). Flower Lace Stitch (Simple & Elegant) Repeat multiple of 6 stitches Row 1: SC across Row 2: *(ch3, skip 2 sts, 5 DC in next st, skip 2 sts, SC)* repeat Row 3: *(ch5, SC between shells)* repeat Row 4: 5 DC into each ch5 space This creates: • small floral shell motifs • decorative chest highlight • feminine summer look Work 4–6 rows only to keep it classy. ⸻ 👚 3️⃣ Neckline Shaping After lace section: • Return to maroon yarn • Work tight stitches for structure: Row 1–3: Half Double Crochet (HDC) Shape slight curve: • Decrease 1 stitch each side every row for 3 rows. This gives the clean sleeveless neckline seen in the photo. ⸻ 💪 4️⃣ Armhole Finish Work directly around armholes: Round 1: SC evenly Round 2: Crab stitch (reverse SC) OR slip stitch edging Keeps edges firm and professional. ⸻ ✨ 5️⃣ Bottom Edge Finish Optional elegant finish: • 2 rows maroon SC • 1 row orange picot edging OR yellow picot edging Small colour echo ties design together. ⸻ 🎨 Visual Colour Balance (Very Important) Think of the top like this: NECKLINE — Maroon edging FLOWERY LACE — Yellow (or Orange) BODY — Mostly Maroon Thin Accent Rows — Yellow & Orange spaced apart HEM — Maroon with tiny accent edge
