crochet rose top free pattern + video tutorial (made-to-measure with example size S/M pattern)

Hi everyone! This is a companion pattern for my youtube tutorial, it is not meant to be followed alone. It includes the measurements, stitch counts, and number of rounds that I did for my top. For reference, I'm a size S/M (in inches, upper bust: 32, bust: 34.5, waist: 27) and because I used double crochet stitches, my work has a slight stretch so I crocheted the length of my work 1-3 inches less than the measurements I took to accommodate the stretch for a more flattering fit. 

Please do not blindly follow this pattern or measurements here! This top is MADE-TO-MEASURE, meaning you should crochet it according to your specific measurements. Refer to the tutorial for explanations because this pattern is only for reference and example purposes to help you understand what I did for my top so that you can make your own. 

! You can find the yarns I used here on my amazon storefront !

Abbreviations & terminology

ss - slip stitch / sc - single crochet / dc - double crochet / tc - triple crochet / hdc - half double crochet

Body

Chain 115, ss into the first chain to form a round

*To start every roung: chain 2 / to end every round: ss into the chain 2

*Insert 1 dc in every stitch unless you're making an increase/decrease

Round 1 to 3: 1 dc in every stitch (no increases/decreases)

Round 4 to 7: crochet 4 increases in each round

Round 8 to 12: crochet 5 decreases in each round

Round 13 to 25: 1 dc in every stitch (no increases/decreases)

Please adjust this example pattern to fit your measurements, do not follow it blindly because this is custom-made-to-measure for my size!

Straps 

I made my straps as wide as 4 stitches. So, there are 4 dc in every row (chain 3 counts as a dc).

Row 1: attach yarn, chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), 1 dc in the next 3 stitches

Row 2 onwards: turn your work, chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), 1 dc in the next 2 stitches, 1 dc in the top 3rd chain, repeat

-> I did 15 rows in total

Rose

To make the rose bigger/smaller, only chain in multiples of 5. For example: 80, 95, 110, 250, etc.

Row 1: chain 101, insert 1 sc in the 2nd chain from your hook, insert 1 sc in every chain (total 100 sc stitches)

Row 2: turn your work, repeat *chain 5, skip 4 stitches, ss in the 5th stitch*

Row 3: repeat the following steps to make the petals...

- work in the chain space; sc, hdc, dc, 3 tc

- insert 1 tc in the 3rd sc stitch (please refer to video tutorial if you're confused)

- work in the same chain space: 3 tc, dc, hdc, sc

Fold the piece circularly in on itself to make the rose shape then sew it with a plastic needle to secure it. 

Ruffles

Row 1: chain 100, insert 1 dc into the 3rd chain from your hook, 2 dc in every chain

Row 2: turn your work, chain 2, insert 1 dc in every stitch

adorable frog holding a heart (customisable crochet pattern)

Hi everyone! This adorable frog can be turned into a charm, keychain, or mini pouch for your headphones (which you can attach to any of your bags with a chain). I can't wait to see how yours turn out!

Here are a few things to keep in mind while using this pattern:

To make this, you should be an advanced beginner, intermediate level crocheter, or know how to make a magic ring, crochet in a round (I've included step-by-step instructions for this), increase, single/double/half double/triple crochet, slip stitch, and most importantly - SEW. This pattern doesn't show you how to sew the pieces together. However, that part is pretty self-explanatory since you just have to sew the pieces as shown in my pictures in the pattern below. That being said, I can't wait to see what you come up with! Please tag me in your creations (or send me a picture!) and feel free to DM me on Instagram (@mahumcrochets) if you have any questions.

Materials & Terminology:

I used a 4.5 mm hook and these yarn colors: light pink (heart), green (frog), off-white (center of the frog and eyeballs), and brown (pupils and happy face). Abbreviations: SC - single crochet, DC - double crochet, HDC - half double crochet, TC - triple crochet, SS - slip stitch, CH - chain.

Part 1: The Heart <3

Start by making a magic ring and ch 2. Insert all of the next stitches into the magic ring: 3 tc, 3 dc, ch 1, 1 tc, ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tc, ch 2, ss into the magic ring, ch 1 or 2 then cut and fasten off by tightening the ends.

Part 2: The Frog's Body Round 1 (off-white) - Start by making a magic ring and ch 2. Insert 10 dc into the magic ring. Ss into the top of the ch 2 (total 10 stitches)

Round 2 (off-white) - ch 2, insert 2 dc into every stitch around the round until you reach the ch 2, ss into the top of the ch 2 (total 20 stitches)

Round 3 (green) - make a slip knot with your green yarn and attach it to your work with ch 2 in the ss you made with the off-white, repeat the steps in asterisks till the end of the round *dc, 2 dc in the same stitch* (for beginners: insert 1 dc into one stitch, then in the next stitch insert 2 dc)

Round 4 (green) - ch 1, repeat the steps in asterisks till the end of the round *sc, sc, sc, 2 sc into the same stitch*, ss into the ch 1, ch 1 or 2 then cut and fasten off by tightening the end.

[ Optional part ] If you want to turn your frog into a pouch for headphones, you need to also crochet the back part for it. To make that, follow the same steps as the frog's body with only green yarn. 

Part 3: The Frog's Hands

Attach your yarn into any of the stitches with a knot.

Row 1 - ch 1 and sc into the same stitch, sc 3 more times into the next stitches

Row 2 - turn your work and sc 4 times into the stitches from row 1

Row 3 - turn your work and sc 4 times into the stitches from row 2

For row 4 and 5, you need to sc 2 stitches together (sc2tog). To do this, you can into one stitch, pull up a loop (you’ll have 2 loops on your hook), go into the next stitch, pull up a loop (you’ll have 3 loops on your hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops. So in row 4, sc2tog 2 times and in row 5, sc2tog 1 time.

Part 4: The Details

Green (eyes) - start with a magic ring and ch 2, insert 9 hdc into the magic ring, ss into the top of the ch 2, ch 1 or 2 then cut and fasten off by tightening the ends.

Off-white (eyeballs) - start with a magic ring and ch 1, insert 6 sc into the magic ring, ss into the top of the ch 1, ch 1 or 2 then cut and fasten off by tightening the ends.

Pink (blush) - start with a magic ring and ch 1, insert 3 sc into the magic ring, ss into the top of the ch 1, ch 1 or 2 then cut and fasten off by tightening the ends.

Brown (pupils, I used a thinner yarn for this part) - start with a magic ring and ch 1, insert 2 sc into the magic ring, ss into the top of the ch 1, ch 1 or 2 then cut and fasten off by tightening the ends.

Part 5: Sew it all Together

I sewed all the eye pieces together first, then the frog's hands into the heart and body, then the blush onto the cheek area, and lastly the front part of the frog's body to the back. If you want to attach your frog to a bag: attach the green yarn into a stitch with a knot in the area you want your chain to start, chain till it's as long as the length you want, attach with a knot on the other side.

And you're done!

I hope you found this pattern helpful, I'm still in the process of learning and trying to navigate the crochet community, so I'd love feedback from you! Please let me know what could've been improved or just your general thoughts on the pattern. I can't wait to see what you all create, don't forget to tag me on Instagram, and happy crocheting!
