Is the Off The Shoulder Crop Top Pattern Difficult?
This crochet top pattern is ideal for beginners. It allows those new to crochet to create a fashionable garment that’s perfect for any occasion. The top is worked in one piece and requires no sewing. You don’t need to know any complicated stitches because it uses only simple techniques.
To make it even simpler, you can follow a solid colorway instead of the striped one that involves some color-changing skills. But hey, trying stripes might be a great introduction to colorwork, so don’t rule it out too quickly!
Required Yarn and Materials
You can craft this crochet crop top with any medium-weight yarn you like. The sample shown in the photos features the popular Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn. It’s 100% acrylic yarn with a very soft feel. The reason why it hasn’t been made with cotton is that acrylic fibers offer more stretch to the fabric, and the top has a close-fitting cut, so you will want that extra stretchiness for comfortable wear.
The pattern recommends using a 5 mm hook size.
