Peasant Top Crochet Pattern

Add this girly and flirty Peasant Top Crochet Pattern to your Spring closet! The ruffles add a feminine touch and they are so much easier to create than you might think.

 

For this top I used I Love This Cotton! Yarn from Hobby Lobby. It’s one of my favorite cotton yarns for a great price. I love the pretty baby blue with the subtle white stripe. Perfect for Spring!

The construction of this top is super easy. It’s 2 rectangles sewn together to make this fun blouse! The top is fitted with the ruffles starting just above the bust line. There’s a cute white trim right above the ruffles. This can be made in any length! The rectangle are made from the top down, so just continue the pattern until you have the desired length.

CONSTRUCTION

Lay both sides on top of each other, wrong side out

(so the decorative ruffle is on the inside)

Mark where you want to sew across the shoulders (I marked about 12 stitches in from both sides)

Use your long beginning tail to sew the shoulders closed with a whipstitch

Then mark where you want to sew along down each side. I sewed from the bottom up to the white trim with a whip stitch (I used the long ending tail for sewing)

Weave in all your ends and turn the top right side out.

Finished!
