The beginner-friendly Skylar Ribbed Crop Top crochet pattern by Grace Forthefrills allows you to make a beautiful summer garment that is light, stylish, and very feminine. You can wear it on the beach, when out on the town, or on your vacation trip. It features a beautiful ribbed body and two adorable braided tie-straps.
Is This Crochet Crop Top Suitable for Complete Beginners?
This simple and quick project is the easiest crochet top pattern you will ever find!
Unlike most clothing projects, you work the Skylar Ribbed Crop Top lengthways, rather than widthways. The great news for beginners is that all they need to know to be able to make it is half double crochet stitches worked regularly and in the back loops only. So if you don’t have a lot of experience, don’t be afraid to get started.
Yarn and Tools You’ll Need
The pattern uses Garnstudio DROPS Merino Extra Fine, which is 100% merino wool. This yarn makes the garment soft, comfy, and stretchy. Cotton fibers will work great too, but make sure your yarn has DK weight and meets the required gauge.
For a fresh summer look, choose icy blue color seen in the pictures or go for any other shade you like. The top is worked with a 5 mm crochet hook.
Custom Fit for Every Body
Wondering whether the pattern includes instructions for your size? Grace made sure her project could fit all body shapes, offering customization tips for the most popular women’s sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL.
This cropped crochet top will show off your belly and go great with high-waisted jeans and skirts. If you are into longer cuts, you can easily adjust the length by adding chains to your foundation chain.
How to Crochet the Skylar Ribbed Crop Top
The top construction is so easy, you actually can’t go wrong with this pattern! You start by stitching up a simple crochet rectangle that you will fold in half and seam together to form the body of your garment. Then all you need to do is add two braided tie straps, and your top is ready to go!
