ReplyDeleteso cute!! Going to crochet it this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat does dc7tog mean?
ReplyDeletedc7tog means "double crochet 7 together". Basically is it (Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops) 7 times, yarn over draw through all loops.

ReplyDeletedo I repeat round 2 on 3-5 rounds
ReplyDeleteI don't think so; there is probably only one buttonhole needed for such a small top.
DeleteLove this little top, but the "Join on 5th row." has me confused,
ReplyDeleteJoin what to where?
There is another "join" in Round 6.
I understand the first few rows create the neckline, but I gather the "joins" are to create a circle for the body, but am a bit confused as to how.
