What You’ll Need Before You Start
When made of lightweight yarn that ensures a soft and airy feel this handmade garment will let your skin breathe even on the hottest summer day.
The desinger used Nako Comfort Stretch (90% microfiber, 10% polyester) which offers more stretchiness than cotton fibers, allowing the top to hug your body comfortably. To get the best results, pair this yarn with a 2 mm crochet hook.
Can I Make This Top Longer?
You work this crochet top from the top down so it is very easy to adjust it to any length. All you need to do is repeat the same rows until your reach the desired look. This way you can easily turn this design into a regular tank top or keep in a cute cropped style like the one seen in the photos.
