Is the Hepatica Granny Top Pattern Beginner-Friendly?
This crochet halter top crochet pattern is a great option for beginners who would like to try their hand at their first summer garment project. It’s a nice opportunity to practice granny squares and some basic stitches like single crochet or double crochet.
By adding or removing the number of squares in the row, you can easily change the size of your piece. With a halter neck and back ties, this top makes a comfortable outfit for all body shapes.
Recommended Yarn and Hook Size
The designer used Falkgarn Julie, a medium-weight 100% cotton yarn, that guarantees a soft, breathable fabric and good stitch definition. If you like, feel free to go for any other worsted or aran weight yarn available in your local store or stash. Some of the great yarn options also include: Garnstudio DROPS Paris and Järbo Soft Cotton.
The top showcased in the photos features a versatile cream color palette spiced up with granny square floral motifs in green and purple. Would you prefer a different look? Play around with color combinations that express your style – there are so many to choose from!
How to Style the Hepatica Halter
The timeless halter neck design makes this crochet top very stylish and comfortable to wear. If you love clothes that show off your back, this piece does it splendidly. Its cute cropped fit pairs great with high-waisted bottoms – be it your favorite pair of shorts or a long, feminine skirt.
