What’s Special About This Top Design?
Let’s talk about the design of this handmade crochet top. Its unique construction is not only awesome trendy but also super comfy to wear.
The openwork lace stitches incorporated in the front create a beautiful illusion of a V-neckline, while the halterneck with two crisscrossing straps on the back will expose your skin gorgeously.
It’s a stylish clothing piece you can wear at the beach, picnic in the park, or at summer festivals.
Everything You Need to Get Started
Lightweight cotton yarn will produce an airy, soft, and washable fabric, just perfect for a summer top you will want to wear on your beach days. The orange solid color scheme makes it super versatile, but at the same time very striking.
The photographed sample features Garnstudio DROPS Muskat, but you can use any other DK yarn available in your local store. Make sure to pair with a 4 mm crochet hook, and you’re ready to stitch!
Crochet Pattern Breakdown
The Mandarina pattern is very easy to handle. You will work this crochet crop top with basic stitches only, including chains, single crochets, and double crochets. The garment is crocheted back and forth from the top down, allowing you to adjust its length easily by adding extra rows.
