Notes

This Pattern is beginner-friendly, it uses only basic stitches, of course, you have to be familiar with single crochet, double crochet, and slip stitch.
I used 2 different yarns and colors you can decide which yarns and colors to use,

I recommend at least 2 colors for more interest in the pattern

This Top is made of two identical rectangles joined in shoulders and sides, and sleeves are added and worked in rounds

The Measurements are for these instructions- you can add or reduce chains to obtain your size

If changing colors make sure to have a changing technique

Now we will make the detail on the sides of the Top.

Work the same on both sides

Turn your work on the right side up and from the bottom up on one side.

R1: SC across up to the shoulder part making 2 Sc in each Dc side for a total of 60 sc

R2-4: Ch1 turn your work, Sc in 1st st and in every st across to end of work

You Finished Rectangle #1- now make an identical second one

Construction

Measure 12 cm for the shoulder on each side leaving 28cm for the head and sew with a tapestry needle on both shoulders.

Measure 30 cm from the bottom up on both sides and sew with a tapestry needle to make the armhole.

Now to the sleeves

Turn your work right side up.

R1: Insert yarn in the join of the side part(under the arm) Ch3 and Dc1 in every st around, you do not have to count exactly the st but make sure you do not reduce because we want to make a curly sleeve Slst to ch3 from the beginning.

Do not turn work! Now we will increase to make the curly part- the ruffles

R2: Ch 3, Dc in same st, Dc2 in every st from prev row, Slst to ch3 from beginning

R3-4: Ch 3, Dc1 in every st all across Slst to ch3

R5: change color Ch1, Sc1 in every st from prev row to give the sleeve a neat ending.

Secure yarn, weave in ends, and cut yarn.
