Simple or lacy? Ornamental, multicolored, or plain? Cute Crochet Summer Tops come in all shapes and sizes. One thing is certain – they are the best choice for this season. Not only are they on-trend, but they are also breezy, lightweight, and versatile. Natural yarn, like cotton, will be the best choice for such a project, because it is breathable and won’t irritate your skin. The simple top can surely become a quick weekend project – it works up fast and can be easily altered to your needs.
A different choice of color, stripes, or other modifications are no problem! Crocheted tops can be worn with formal and everyday wear, depending on your styling – high heels and elegant skirt will make it look very elegant! On the other hand, if you wear them with jeans and sneakers, you will have a perfect casual outfit. Take a look at the examples below. The links to free patterns are under the pictures.
