Talulah Crochet Top

Notes:
The top portion will be made by making two panels. We will start by working from the bottom up for the panels.
Chain in the beginning of each row/round will not count as a stitch unless stated.
I will refer to colors as Color A and Color B. Color A is the top portion (I used pink) and Color B is the bottom portion of the top (I used white).

Fasten off
Flip over your piece, attach yarn to other side of the main portion of the top and repeat the neckline pattern.
Make two panels.
Assemble two panels together by putting them together and sewing up the top portions and the sides. For sizes Small & Medium sizes, leave about 7” opening, for sizes Large & XLarge leave about 8.5” opening, and for 2X & 3X leave about 10″ opening.
Attach Color B yarn to bottom of the top portion you just sewed together. We will now be working in rounds.
Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as st), (dc, ch 1, 2dc) in same space as ch 3, *sk st, (2dc, ch 1, 2dc) all in next st, repeat from * around, join to beginning ch 3 and sl st 2 times to get to the ch 1 space from the previous round

Repeat Round 2 for 23(23, 27, 27, 31, 31) rounds
*Make the top as long/short as you’d like by adding/removing rows
