What Yarn and Hook Should I Use?
Before getting down to crocheting, prepare a 3.75 mm hook and a ball of medium-weight yarn in your favorite color. The designer recommends using Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton, but any other worsted yarn with cotton fiber content will work great, too.
You can keep your crochet crop top in a simple solid shade or experiment with the colorway, trying to reflect the butterflies’ striking colors.
