How To Crochet The Tie Front Top


The crochet top pattern is worked from the bottom in two parts, the front and the back.

First you will crochet the tie part of the top in two sections, which are then worked together to create the front. After that the back is worked in a separate section.

Finally, all you have to do is to whip stitch the crochet pieces together and work a simple edging of single crochet around the neck and arm opening.

The stitches used are only variations of the single crochet, worked in the front loop and back loop.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?


How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?

Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.

It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.

All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

Crochet Pattern Notes


  • This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
  • All measurements given are unblocked.
  • Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
  • Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
  • Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
  • Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
  • This pattern is written for 1 size, however size adjustments are suggested under the This pattern is written for 9 sizes, where the different sizes is given in parenthesis like this: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL. If just one number is given, it applies to all sizes. I recommend that you highlight or circle the size you’re making before you begin to make the pattern easier to follow. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Size & Measurements”.
  • At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
  • Top is made in 2 parts, front and back. On front you make 2 ties first, then continue to work the main front part and shoulders directly on the ties as one piece. Back is made as main part & shoulders directly on same piece.  Back and front are seamed together at sides and shoulder. Finally 1 round of single crochet are made around arm opening and neck.

Stitches Used In The Crochet Pattern


Techniques Used In The Crochet Pattern


Crocheting In The Back And Front Loop

This means that you will not crochet through the whole stitch as usual. A typical stitch contains two loops. One in the front, nearest you, and another stitch in the back, furthest away from you. One is called the front loop (the one nearest you), the other one the back loop, the one furthest away from you.

For this stitch you will crochet both in the front & back loop.
