MOTIF TOPS

I have made several tops with crochet motifs.  They are made one by one.  The first one is made completly all around.  The others are joined to the other in the last round. 
He hecho varias blusas con aplicaciones (motif). Se hacen las cuadrados uno por uno, y en la última pasada se van uniendo.


FIERY RED MOTIF TOP (Blusa motif ROJO FUEGO)
Cotton, light weight yarn
Hilo mediano de algodón crudo teñido de rojo

This is the motif (Esta es la aplicación):

The motifs are joined as you go.  The number of motifs will depend on the yarn you use and the size you want it to be.  It is very flexible.  Here is a diagram of the motifs [squares] I used for the red top. I wanted a "V-shaped" neck, so I had to make 2 half-motifs.  For a rpund neck, susbtitute the half-motifs for complete ones.  If you want the top to be open, DO NOT join the motifs below the half-motifs. 

When all the square motifs are joined, you finish with a border of your choice, either sc's or shells.  For the red one, I did 3chains + 1sc [on the 5ch-space of the motif], and shells for the neck part.



OTHER MOTIF TOPS
Here are other motif tops I have made, a notif with a flower on the center.

PURPLE MOTIF TOP (Blusa motif púrpura)

This is the basic MOTIF PATTERN:

Some time ago, I made one for a baby.

The next one is not so lacy, but I just LOVE the motif:

 

This is the motif pattern for the gray one:
Este es el esquema de la aplicación para el gris:

Joining these motifs was more difficult, because I did it at the end.
La unión de este chaleco fue más complicada porque lo hice de último, cuando ya tenía todas las piezas hechas.
