Granny top for all ages

Hi friends today i am here with one more new and exciting tutorial. This is a very simple and easy top to make for all ages. This can be done even by the beginners too. Here in the tutorial i have made a top for my 2 yr old daughter. I have used 3.5mm crochet hook, you can use any yarn and any hook size of your choice.

As i mentioned  this pattern is for all ages. Here i am not going to teach you by number counts but by measurements. Hope you will enjoy this pattern.

Take a tee- shirt for neck measurement

This pattern is multiples of 3 stitches so when you are making a base ch you need to make multiples of 3 and should divide by 4

for example in the demo piece i have done 60 ch it is a multiple of 3 and if we divide by 4 we get 15 equal stitches. As our pattern has 4 corners. make a slip stitch into the 1st ch and form a ring.

Row 1 : ch3 and 2 dc into the same st, ch 1 skip 2 ch and 3dc into the next st. (in the demo pattern i will consider the 15th st as 1st corner st) . work pattern till 15 th ch. into the 15th ch 3dc ch2 3dc. skip 2 ch  and 3dc into the next ch. leaving the 1st 3dc count the 3dc set or shell till the first corner. every side we should make the same no. of shells.and into the 1st st of the row work 3dc, ch2 and join with a slip st into the 3rd ch of the beginning st.

Row 2: ch3 turn the work and 2dc into the same ch1 space, ch1 3dc into the next ch1 space till the corner ,into the corner ch2 space work 3dc-ch2-3dc., till the row ends and join with a sl st.

Repeat row 2 till you reach the required measurement. For the demo piece i have done 7 rows. (make as many rows as required to  fit your shoulder measurement and chest measurement) 

this is how it looks when you fold it into half.

Now we should continue making the body part. make one more row and join the edges as shown in the picture below.

make as many rows as required to reach the desired measurement. Here i have made 14 rows.

If you want a sleaveless top then you can stop here by fastening off. Or you can join the sleeves by adding a new yarn. I have made 3 rows for sleeves.
