Enjoy this cute Cro­chet 12-month-old Sashay yarn top.  I made this cro­chet top pat­tern for my daugh­ter. I want­ed to find anoth­er way to use the Sashay yarn, so I made this cute shirt. I was hap­py to make a video with this pat­tern since I fig­ured it might be a lit­tle tricky to attach the sashay yarn to the top. I mea­sured this top for anoth­er 12 months; my daugh­ter had to ensure the mea­sure­ments were cor­rect.
Sup­plies: Red Heart White yarn, or what­ev­er yarn you pre­fer

Sashay yarn black and white, 1 ball for the tod­dler size.

White yarn, I hook
You will make 2 sides then con­nect the shirt togeth­er at the end of this pat­tern.
You will start the pat­tern at the bot­tom of the shirt.
Chain 42
Row 1. sc in the 2nd chain from the hook ‑41sc
Row 2. ch 1. dc in each stitch across, turn, ‑41dc
Row 3. ch 1. dc in back loops and each stitch across, turn ‑41dc
Row 4. ch 1. dc reg­u­lar loops and each stitch across, turn ‑41dc
Row 5. ch 1.  2dctog decrease in first two dc in the back loops and dc in the back loops in each stitch across, 2dctog in the last two dc stitch­es in the back loops ‑39dc

Row 14.  ch 1. 2dctog decrease in first two dc in the reg­u­lar loops and dc in the reg­u­lar loops in each stitch across, 2dctog in the last two dc stitch­es, turn ‑29dc
Row 15. ch 1.  2dctog decrease in twice in the back loops and dc in the back loops in each stitch across, 2dctog in the last 4 dc stitch­es in the back loops, turn ‑25dc
Row 16.  ch 1. 2dctog decrease in twice in the reg­u­lar loops and dc in the reg­u­lar loops in each stitch across, 2dctog in the last 4 dc stitch­es, turn ‑21dc
Row 17. ch 1. dc in the next three stitch­es in the back loops, sc in the next 15 stitch­es in the back loops, dc in the last 3 stitch­es, turn  ‑21 stitch­es
Row 18. ch1. dc in the next three stitch­es in the reg­u­lar loops, hdc in the next stitch, slip stitch in each in the next 13 stitch­es, hdc in the next stitch, dc in the last three stitch­es, turn ‑21 stitch­es
Make 4 straps
Straps, con­tin­ue on from the top of the shirt, since you turned, con­tin­ue on,
Rows 1–5. ch 1. hdc in the next 3 stitch­es, turn  ‑3hdc (Repeat this 4 more times) fas­ten off.

Then to do the next strap, slip stitch on the begin­ning of the oppo­site side of the oth­er strap,

Row 1. ch 1. hdc in the same stitch as the sl st., then hdc in the next two stitch­es, turn ‑3hdc
Rows 2–5. ch 1. hdc in the next 3 stitch­es, turn  ‑3hdc (Repeat this 3 more times) Fas­ten off.
Now you will con­nect the two side togeth­er.  Stop sewing at Row 16., this will be the arms holes, you want to keep the arm holes open and not sewed.
I put the two pieces togeth­er but with the back loops sides fac­ing inward, I want to sew the sides togeth­er then turn it inside out, then the back loops will be fac­ing out­ward after you sew it and turn it inside out. You will need the back loops to sew in the Sashay yarn in the back loops.
So sew each sides togeth­er until you reach Row 16, make sure each back loop in the same rows match­es each oth­er, then fas­ten off, this will be where the arm holes begin. Then sew the two ends of the straps togeth­er for both straps.
 Ruf­fles:
Sashay yarn.
Sashay Ruf­fle: Bal­let, F hook
Rounds for Sashay skirt:  f hook for ruf­fles
Rnd 5. start in round 5 for ruf­fles. *Cre­ate the Sashay Ruf­fle on the hook first by fold­ing the yarn inward about an inch, and insert­ing the hook in the 2nd loop from the begin­ning of the fold. Skip two loops on the sashay yarn, insert the hook in the 3rd hook on the yarn and pull through the loops on the hook. (video explains this)
In Round 5, Insert your hook with the Sashay ruf­fle that you cre­at­ed (direc­tions above) in the first sc back loop at the back seam. skip one loop on the sashay yarn and insert the hook in the next sashay yarn loop and pull the sashay yarn loop through the skirt back loop and sashay yarn loop, this will cre­ate the 2nd ruf­fle. So, Insert your hook in each dc back loop for each round. Then skip one loop on the sashay yarn loop and then pull through both loops. *Repeat for each row for ruf­fles (Now you can do ruf­fles all the way around the front and back for round 5. or just do ruf­fles in the front, I just did ruf­fles in the front.)
Rnds 6–8: Skip rnds 6–8, of back loops, then start a row of ruf­fles in the end 9 of back loops.
Rnd 9. *Repeat Row of Ruf­fles (same ruf­fles as round 5. same as above.)
Rnds 10–12. Skip 3 rows of back loops
Rnd 13. *Repeat the Row of Ruf­fles (same as above.) and fas­ten off.
Leave the rest of the rounds unworked unless you want more ruf­fles, then con­tin­ue on.
