The Amour Top is a floaty, reversible crochet top featuring a wide ballerina design across the front panel and fringe that completes the look like the hem of her dress. Worked in intarsia crochet, the design builds up row by row in a soothing rhythm—no complex shaping required.

Notes

This pattern includes a full video tutorial designed to clarify any techniques or steps that are better demonstrated visually than explained in writing.

You’ll begin by making the front and back panels and sewing the shoulders together. Next, sew the sides of the body. After that, make the sleeves, then work a round of single crochet around the neckline. Finally, add the fringe along the hem.

The top is reversible—you can wear either the front or back panel facing forward. Both look great.

The top is cropped, but it can be easily lengthened with instructions provided in the pattern.

This pattern uses intarsia crochet. Intarsia crochet involves using separate yarn bobbins or small balls for each color block, ensuring that yarn is not carried across the back of the work. Follow the color chart carefully and manage yarn changes neatly to maintain a clean finish.

You will be working with sc: when instructions say “(B) x 7” it means 1 sc in the next 7 sts with yarn B.

At the end of each row ch 1 and turn.

Each size has a link to the “Progress Tracker” for the waistband for easy to follow instructions.
