Don’t you just love the center design portion of this top? It reminds me of a fish bone. You might be thinking that this crochet top looks difficult to make but I reassure you that it’s really quite easy.

Notes:

The top in this pattern is made to fit a size small/medium but if you want it bigger just make a chain long enough to reach from one side of the ribs under breasts to the other side. Make sure this number is divisible by 2 then add 2 extra chains.

Ch 92. Dc into 3rd ch from hook. Dc to end. Turn.

Ch 2(counts as first dc), dc2tog, dc to last 3 sts, dc2tog, dc in last st. Turn. Repeat this row 5 more times.

Place marker into the 40th stitch from the right. This is the center stitch.

    I have a question, after I place stitch marker and crochet next row that begins the fishbone design, where it says to skip next dc and the box, what is “the box” in the remaining lines? I had to make mine larger and can’t follow by stitches. Please help.

      Hi. It just basically means to skip the chain space

      I actually did this with a scrap ball of Caron One Pound. I just used a fairly tight gauge and a 3.75mm hook, turned out perfect!
