This Crop Top Diamond crochet pattern by Green Bird features a beautiful design with chic details! I’m truly in love with its mesh neckline formed by little diamond motifs. And let’s not forget about the stylish back closure with buttons. While the directions are for a small-sized top, you can adjust this project to other sizes. Check it out!
Skill Level Required and Stitches You Should Know
The Crop Top Diamond Pattern will suit crocheters who understand basic crochet techniques well. The project uses simple stitches like chain, single crochet, and double crochet. The open-stitch neckline section uses a diamond-inspired lace pattern for which the designer provides a chart.
Best Yarn Choices for a Light and Comfortable Fit
It’s no secret that cotton fibers are great for summer projects. They offer good breathability, comfort, and nice stitch definition. If you want your top to have a cool feel to the touch, cotton yarn is the best choice.
The sample seen in the photo was made with DROPS Safran, a 100% Egyptian combed cotton yarn that many crocheters appreciate for its softness and durability. You will need approximately 150 g to crochet the smallest top size.
How to Crochet the Diamond Crop Top
You will start crocheting this cropped top by making a foundation chain. The next rows are worked with double crochets until you achieve the length of 4“ (10 cm). After that, you will mark with stitch markers the places where you will crochet the mesh pattern using the chart.
Once you have the body of your top ready, you need to add the back button closure and two thin straps to finish the garment.
Wearing Your Crochet Crop Top
Thanks to its versatile design, you can wear this beautiful white crochet crop top for any occasion. For a stylish layered look, pair it with an undershirt with an open-front shirt or a cardigan. It will also work fantastically with boho-themed outfits, especially when kept in neutral colors like white, beige, or cream.
