We are all set to put the finishing touches on our granny no5 top. Let’s finish up our sleeves and the neckline.
If this is your first time hearing about the Granny No 5 top, let me introduce you to an ideal summer Garment. Of course you can read more about her in the introduction post.
Although I’ve named this post finishing touches, we have a smidgen more of crochet to carry on with before we weave in our ends and block.
Remember, if you prefer you can purchase the full, add free written pattern on Ravelry, the PDF also includes a tutorial for the yoke, body and sleeves.
Finishing Touches Sleeves and Neckline
Just found the Granny No5 top?
Sleeves x 2
With a 3.25mm crochet hook and main color, attach yarn to the bottom of the armhole…
Rnd 1: Stacked sc in the ch space, ch1, [ granny st, ch1 ] in each ch1 space of the V st until you reach the lone dc from the beg of the rnd, work 2dc in this space to complete our granny st, sl st to the first dc to close the rnd.
| Size | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| sts | 19 | 20 | 22 | 22 | 23 | 25 | 26 | 26 |
Rnd 2: Sl st to the first ch1 space, dc in this space, V st in each ch 1 space until you reach the lone dc from the beg of the rnd, work dc in this space, close the rnd with a sc to the first dc.
Rnd 3: Stacked sc, 2dc in the sc space, *granny st, ch1 until you have 1 ch1 space remaining, granny st, sc to the first dc to join the rnd.
Rnd 4: Dc in the sc space, V st in each ch1 space until you reach the lone dc from the beg of the rnd, work dc in this space, close the rnd with a sc to the first dc. Change to Color 3
Note: If you add more length and end in a granny st rnd, sc in each st, leaving the ch’s between the sts unworked.
Rnds 5 – 7: work sc sts in each st and ch, join with a sl st to the first st, change color.
Cut yarn and fasten off, if you would like to work a longer sleeve, add pattern rounds before switching colors.
Neckline Border
If you like the off the shoulder look, you may leave the top as is or use the 3.25mm hook for this section
- If you used the number of squares and triangles recommended for size 1, try on the top to determine if you want the neckline.
- For the above mentioned size you could just do a round of sc around to close it off.
Using color 3 and your 3mm crochet hook, attach yarn to the mid-back
Rnd 1: work the V st count indicated in the table below. Change to Color 2
| Size | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| sts | 36 | 42 | 42 | 42 | 42 | 42 | 42 | 42 |
Rnds 2 and 3: work sc sts in each st and ch, join with a sl st to the first st, (remember to change color at the end of rnd 2).
After round 3, cut yarn, fasten off, and block your top if you haven’t done so already.
With these finishing touches, you are ready for all the spring/Summer Activities.
