Getting ready for the summer season? If so, consider this Curvy Lady’s Favourite Halter Top crochet pattern designed by Karine P. LeBlanc. You can choose one of two length versions, or go crazy and make both!
Is This Crochet Halter Top Plus‑Size Friendly?
If you’ve been looking for a chic summer garment with a flattering fit, this design is perfect for all body shapes. The pattern includes instructions for the most popular women’s sizes, ranging from XXS to XL.
Moreover, the designer provides several ways to customize your piece, so you can tailor it to your needs. If you find yourself really obsessed with crop tops, be sure to go for the shorter cut. However, if you feel better wearing regular lengths or perhaps just lack one in your wardrobe, choose the alternate full-length version with an intricate lace bottom.
Can a Confident Beginner Handle This Pattern?
This crochet halter top pattern is suitable for different skill levels. The short base version is made up of basic stitches that every beginner should know. If you’re looking for an easy garment project with a gorgeous look, this is certainly the one.
The full-length version, on the other hand, will be perfect for intermediate crocheters who know the pineapple lace stitches.
What Yarn Gives the Best Support?
A smooth cotton or cotton‑blend provides structure, breathability, and good drape for larger busts. This top crochet pattern uses DK yarn, which results in a nice drape and very lightweight fabric perfect for summer weather. The colorways you can use for this project are endless and leave much room for experimentation.
Can I Wear It as Swimwear?
This handmade top will be great as an everyday bra or bikini top. For bathing suits, cotton blends such as cotton/polyester make a fantastic choice, as they hold their shape well after getting wet and are quick to dry.
