- 10mm hook
- Stitch markers or safety pins

Pattern Details
- Yarn and Hook Details: Bloom chunky yarn with a 10mm hook.
- Note: Uses a multiple of five stitches.
Steps to Create the Crop Top
Step 1: Starting Chain
- Create the foundation chain: Chain 50 (or a multiple of 5 suitable for the size of your neckline).
- Form a ring: Connect both ends of the chain to form a ring without twisting.
Step 2: Setting Up the Base
- Chain 4: Acts as the first double crochet (dc) and chain 1 space.
- Double crochet: Insert a double crochet in the same stitch.
Step 3: Creating the Pentagon Shape
- Calculate intervals: Divide the total stitches (50 in this case) by 5. Place an increase in every 10th stitch.
- Pattern Repeat:
- Double crochet, chain 1, dc in the 10th stitch.
- Continue this pattern, placing increases in the 10th, 20th, 30th, and 40th stitches.
- Complete the round: Slip stitch to the top of the chain 4 to join.
Step 4: Building Rows
- Continue pattern: Keep working in rounds, placing increases (dc, ch 1, dc) in chain spaces at each corner of the pentagon.
- Slip stitch: At the beginning of each row, slip stitch into the chain 1 space and chain 4 to start the new row.
- Repeat: Continue this until the desired length is achieved. For Jennifer, around 10 rows were necessary.
Step 5: Custom Sizing
- Try-on: Slip the work over your head to see how it fits.
- Adjust: Ensure peaks align under your armpits comfortably. Add more rows if necessary for a comfortable fit.
Step 6: Joining Underarms
- Fold the work: Fold the pentagon-shaped piece and pin the two side peaks together.
- Connect: Double crochet from one peak to the other under the armpits.
Step 7: Continuation
- Continue crocheting: After joining under the arms, continue working in rounds.
- Add a ribbed border: Work front post and back post double crochets around the bottom edge to create a ribbed border. Repeat for about 2 rows.
