Little girl halter top

[Dangerouscrochet]

I made this for my little one..... She had requested a top, so I am hoping she will actually like this one AFTER wearing it to school this week. ( Made a sweater for her, but after wearing it to school....she won't wear it anymore )

 

 

I measured how wide the top needed to be, made a chain, sc in each.... then sc for as many rows as I felt would look appropriate. Then I double crochet as many rows as I wanted for the length. Then added the picot fringe that was on a top that I made in the fall. I am actually quite proud of this one. I already had 3 other little girls come up to me while finishing this and tell me that it was pretty. There might be hope for my 'skills' yet.

That is really a beautiful top!! How'd you do the bottom part?

[Dangerouscrochet]

I will be back in the am to post the instructions for the bottom picot edge. Now keep in mind I went by what fit my dd , I didn't really go by ' chain X amount ' However, FYI...the top I made......I chained 80 first ( )

 

Thanks for liking my top. I believe she is going to wear it on Thursday:clap

BTW: She ( dd ) wore the top to school this day. I will get the feedback on it in about an hour. I do know that I had to take her in a different top.... because according to our dress code, the straps were to thin. They need to be 2 inches wide.

 

*update* Her friends liked the top so much, they didn't want her to change shirts!! WooHoo!!! I finally made something she likes!

 

The sweater? Well, I am going to ask her if it is ok that I donate it. Someone would be glad to have it. If she gives me the 'ok', then I will put it in the box with the rest of the things to go to Online-Angels.

 

 

Of course you KNOW.......................That means I will be making her a NEW ONE!!!!!! BICO Here I come!!!!!!! ( And this one I will make in the 'dress code' compliant colors....so she will be able to wear it to school everyday)

[Aelita]

I like this one it is very pretty and I love the bottom.

[Dangerouscrochet]

I started out with the idea of making the summer breeze top......But I have to be honest, I am not much of a direction follower. I looked at the instructions, and then figured NOPE. They ( the directions were fine, the trouble is with me ) I just figured if I made it to fit her by measuring my chain around her... WITHOUT counting ch, then at least I would know it would ' supposedly' fit. LOL

[champygirl]

Very pretty. The picot edging is gorgeous.

[tralee]

Very cute and your daughter looks happy with it too!

[caitlinsmom]

Thank you so much for the pattern to the picot edge. I'm going to use it. I'm so glad DD loved her new top. It always makes you feel so good about it.

[MrsCrochetPants]

That looks very nice! I love the color and the edging!
