A woman can’t simply go through the summer without a stylish crop top! If you still don’t have one in your closet, check out this Tulip Square Top crochet project by Wilma Westenberg.
What Makes This Top Stand Out
This handmade crochet top is made from granny squares with gorgeous eyelet texture inspired by floral motifs. The tighter bottom of the top ensures a perfect fit and comfortable wear. It also features a classic V-neck design flattering for smaller and fuller figures alike.
Best part? This tank top is completely reversible – wear it either way for two looks in one!
Can I Use Acrylic Yarn for This Top?
Acrylics can work, but cotton, bamboo, and their blends offer better breathability and drape. For this crochet tank top, be sure to use DK-weight yarn, like Lion Brand Coboo, which is the perfect option for light summer makes.
The simple white colorway applied to this crochet top adds even more versatility to it. However, if you are a fan of bold shade accents, you can consider going wild with more than just one hue.
How to Crochet the Tulip Square Top
The Tulip Square Top crochet pattern will suit intermediate-level crocheters and adventurous beginners. This is a great project where you can practice working up granny squares and some special stitches, such as V-stitch or puff-stitch.
The top is built from 8 lace granny squares and 5 triangles joined together. You will finish your garment by making puff-stitched straps and a two-row border at the bottom worked with single crochets.

Sizing and Customization Made Easy
The Tulip Square Top is a size-inclusive pattern that offers instructions for all women’s sizes – from S to 5XL! If you happen to fall between two sizes, either size up or adjust the fit by using a smaller/larger hook.
You can also easily modify the garment’s length by making more squares and triangles or go for a cute boho look by adding fringes along the bottom.
