Crochet Pattern
1. Foundation and Start of Crop Top Body (Back-and-Forth Rows):
- Make the Starting Chain:
- For size XS, chain until you reach 15 cm. For larger sizes, follow the size chart above.
- Add 3 extra chains for turning.
First Row (Double Crochet - dc)
- Starting in the 4th chain from the hook, make your first dc.
- Continue making dc stitches in every chain until you reach the end.
Second Row with Increases:
- Chain 2 (or 3 depending on your tension), turn the work.
- In the first stitch, make 1 dc. In the same first stitch, make a second dc (increase created).
- Continue making normal dc stitches along the row.
- In the second-to-last stitch, make an increase by creating 2 dc in the same stitch.
- Work 1 dc in the last stitch.
Third Row:
- Repeat the process of adding increases at the beginning and second-to-last stitch of every row for a triangular widening shape.
- Continue this process until your piece reaches your preferred cup height:
- XS: 19 cm
- S: 21 cm
- M: 23 cm
- L: 26 cm
2. Creating Eyelet Rounds for Ties
- After reaching the preferred height, create eyelets for the ties.
- On your next row:
- Chain 3, skip 3 dc, and make a dc in the 4th stitch (forms an eyelet).
- Continue normal dc stitches until you reach the other side.
- In the last 4 stitches, chain 3, skip 3, and end with a dc.
- Alternate row patterns:
- One normal row without eyelets.
- Followed by another row with eyelets (repeat for up to 3 buttonhole rows total).
3. Adding the Straps
- Attach your green yarn to the top corners of the triangle.
- Chain until your strap reaches approximately 60-80 cm in length (long enough to wrap around the neck and back).
- Work back along the chain in single crochet (sc) to strengthen the strap.
- Securely attach the strap at the base with a slip stitch. Cut the yarn and weave in ends.
- Repeat for the opposite corner.
4. Creating and Attaching Mike Wazowski's Eye
Pupil (Black Inner Circle):
- Using black yarn, create a magic ring.
- Make 12 dc into the ring and pull to close tightly.
- Slip stitch into the first dc to close the round. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail to sew later.
Iris (Blue Circle):
- Attach blue yarn to the pupil with a slip knot.
- Round 1: Chain 2. Make an increase (2 dc) in every stitch around. (24 total dc).
- Round 2: Chain 2. Follow this sequence: 1 dc, 1 increase. Repeat until the end (36 total dc).
- Round 3: Chain 2. Follow this sequence: 2 dc, 1 increase. Repeat (48 dc).
Outer Eye (White Circle):
- Attach white yarn to the iris with a slip knot.
- Work three rounds: Start with 3 dc, 1 increase; progress to 7 dc, 1 increase in the last round.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for assembly.
Sparkle in the Eye:
- Use white yarn to make a magic ring.
- Work 12 dc into the ring and pull it tight.
- Slip stitch, cut the yarn, and leave the tail for sewing.
Assembly:
- Sew the eye components together: Place the pupil in the center of the iris, and the sparkle on one edge of the pupil. Stitch securely with matching threads.
- Attach the finished eye to the center front of your crop top using a sewing needle or slip stitches with green yarn.
Tips and Customization Ideas
- Color Options: Use pastel or muted tones for a softer aesthetic, or replicate Mike Wazowski's neon green for an authentic look.
- Strap Variations: Add adjustable straps with buttons, or use braided yarn ties for a decorative finish.
- Add Embellishments: Crochet cute contrasting borders or add appliqués such as flowers or stars for a unique touch.
- Lining: Line the inside of the cup area with a lightweight fabric if extra coverage is desired.
Special Techniques
Magic Ring:
A useful method for creating a tightly closed center when working in the round. Practice to ensure a clean and secure start.
Tension Control:
Ensure your double crochets are not too loose or tight to maintain a clean and consistent fabric.
Hiding Ends:
Weave yarn ends through the fabric to ensure durability and a polished finish.
