Add this girly and flirty Peasant Top Crochet Pattern to your Spring closet! The ruffles add a feminine touch and they are so much easier to create than you might think.
For this top I used I Love This Cotton! Yarn from Hobby Lobby. It’s one of my favorite cotton yarns for a great price. I love the pretty baby blue with the subtle white stripe. Perfect for Spring!
The construction of this top is super easy. It’s 2 rectangles sewn together to make this fun blouse! The top is fitted with the ruffles starting just above the bust line. There’s a cute white trim right above the ruffles. This can be made in any length! The rectangle are made from the top down, so just continue the pattern until you have the desired length.

CONSTRUCTION
Lay both sides on top of each other, wrong side out
(so the decorative ruffle is on the inside)
Mark where you want to sew across the shoulders (I marked about 12 stitches in from both sides)
Use your long beginning tail to sew the shoulders closed with a whipstitch
Then mark where you want to sew along down each side. I sewed from the bottom up to the white trim with a whip stitch (I used the long ending tail for sewing)
Weave in all your ends and turn the top right side out.
Finished!

What’s the name of the yarn you’ve used, Breann? Thanks a lot for this simple and pretty pattern. I feel encouraged to try a top for the first time.
I Love this Cotton! Yarn
It’s I Love This Cotton! Yarn from Hobby Lobby 🙂
How are the sleeves done?
Thx.
They are formed when the front and back are sewn together. That’s it 🙂
Hi, I’m trying to start this pattern and I’m getting a little concerned that it’s going,to be,way too small! Is each pannel about the finished size width across? Maybe I should just measure and with an educated guess wing it…
Hi! The width across the top is at the shoulders. The width across the bottom is much larger because it’s basically one big ruffle piece 🙂
Hi there. I so fell in love with your top ☺️ I
have never corresponded in this venue before, so I’m hoping I’ll know when I get an answer. I’ve been trying to get started on it. However, no matter what I do, my gauge is 3 inches. I have the exact yarn and hook size. I don’t think I crochet to tight. Any thoughts? I want to do this right and am trying to not start before I get my gauge corrected. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Char
Hi! You crochet tighter than me and that’s ok 🙂 Go up a hook size and see if that helps!
Hi Charlene,
You can always try using larger hooks to get the right gauge. Or use a thicker wool?? Maybe?
I would like to have the pattern for the sweater you are wearing
