What Skill Level Is Required for This Pattern?
The Pineapple Lace Summer Halter Neck Top crochet pattern is suitable for intermediates. It features the pineapple stitch that lends some vintage flair and creates an intricate lace fabric. If you are an experienced crocheter who has not yet tried this technique, this project is for you.
What You’ll Need to Crochet This Crop Top
Supplies needed for this crochet halter top include DK yarn and a 4 mm crochet hook. You can use, for example, Debbie Bliss Prima or any other cotton/bamboo blends in the same weight. Versatile cream, white, or grey colors will rock the boho look perfectly and go great with multiple outfits!
Prepare also one clothing button for the bra fastening and a strip of elastic for the top of the body if you are into tighter fits.
Can I Wear This Halter Top Without a Lining?
Yes, you can. The cups feature a dense single crochet texture and offer good coverage, so there is no need for lining. Wear this handmade garment on its own as a bralette or fancy bikini top. It will quickly become your go-to choice for summer parties, boho festivals, and other special occasions.
Is It Suitable for Larger Bust Sizes?
The Pineapple Lace Summer Halter Neck Top is an adjustable pattern that will suit all bust sizes.
To adjust the bikini top size for the bust, increase or decrease the initial chain length to fit from underboob to nipple, and then add more rows to reach the desired coverage and fullness. The designer provides clear written instructions in her pattern on how to do it.
