The Perfect First Crochet Garment
This easy white crochet crop top is worked mostly in chains and single crochets, which makes it a beginner-friendly project. The pattern is available as a step-by-step video tutorial, so whether you have no experience and need complete guidance or simply prefer visual instructions, this handmade garment will be a breeze for you to complete!
Versatile Summer Outfit
The Basic Crochet Top will match literally any summer ensemble. It will look great when styled with high-waisted jeans, shorts, or skirts. Dense stitches in the front ensure modest bust coverage so you don’t have to wear a bra underneath or add any lining. The open-back cut and deep front neckline will keep you cool and breezy in the hottest of days.
The designer chose to make it in solid white, but you can go for any other color you like to spice up its look a little bit.
Materials & Tools You’ll Need
Cotton fibers are the best choice when it comes to crochet tops and summer garments in general. Why? Because they produce fabrics that allow your skin to breathe in the hot weather. They are also very durable and easy to wash.
If you want your handmade top to be just like that, choose 100% cotton yarn in medium weight, such as Lily Sugar’n Cream or Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton.
To achieve the right gauge, work this project with a 5 mm crochet hook.
How to Crochet This Halter Crop Top
The construction of this basic crochet top is very simple. First, you need to make two triangular cups. You work them back and forth in rows using just chains and single crochets.
At the point when you have both pieces ready, it’s time to attach them together and add the straps. Once done, all you need to do is crochet the bottom of your top with… yes, you guessed it – chains and single crochets!
