Can a Beginner Make this Crochet Top?
Every beginner is more than welcome to give this crochet crop top pattern a try! Ideally, before you get down to this project, you should know how to work the most basic stitches. While its beautifully detailed bottom panel may look intimidating, it’s actually very simple to accomplish.
What to Use for the Luna Crop Top
For Luna Crop Top, go for a 5 mm crochet hook and a medium-weight yarn of your choice. Cotton, bamboo, and their blends are the best options that create light, breathable fabrics with nice stitch definition. You should avoid wool and acrylics because they are more suited for cold-weather projects.
The designer recommends using one of these two yarn brands: Bendigo Woollen Mills Cotton 10 Ply or Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran.
How to Crochet the Luna Crop
The first thing you need to do is to make the cups with single crochets. Why single crochets? Because these stitches produce a dense, uniform texture that will ensure decent coverage exactly where you need it.
Once you have both pieces ready, you can start crocheting the under-bust panel with a combination of simple stitches. The cups are attached as you go. The last step involves creating the ties. Easy peasy!
Adjusting the Luna Top for Your Body Shape
With this crop top crochet pattern, you don’t have to really worry about sizing. It offers clear written instructions for sizes ranging from XS to XL. All you need to do is determine your size using the sizing chart and follow the directions in brackets that correspond to your size.
