What Yarn Is Best For A Crochet Boho Top?
Make this crochet boho top drapey and beautiful using medium-weight yarn. Cotton fibers are great for summer, offering good breathability on hot, sweltering days. The designer chose yarn in vivid colors to give it a fresh look that will pair nicely with spring and summer outfits. Here are the yarns used to make the sample seen in the photo:
- Garnstudio DROPS Paris
- Garnstudio DROPS Paris Recycled Denim
- Garnstudio DROPS Loves You 8
- Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8 Solid
Feel free to use any of these yarns by mixing and matching or sticking to just one of them.
What Skill Level Do I Need To Make This Top?
This pattern will suit great intermediate crocheters and those who have some experience in garment making. The top is built from granny squares that you create using lacy stitches, including triple crochets and double treble crochets. After joining all squares together, the garment is finished with a textured border worked with a row of crab stitches.
Can You Adjust The Size Or Fit Of This Top?
This free pattern provides instructions for a long-sleeve crochet summer top in size S/M. The finished garment is 17 1/2” (45 cm) long and 15 1/2” (40 cm) wide. The pattern uses squares measuring 8” × 8” (21 x 21cm), so if you want to adjust the fit of the top, consider modifying their size.
