What Skill Level Is Required?

What Hook and Yarn Should I Use?
Make sure to use medium-weight yarn and a 5 mm crochet hook to obtain the gauge. The sample shown in the photos was crocheted with Garnstudio DROPS Loves You 8, a 100% cotton yarn perfect for summer top projects.
How Many Colors Do I Need for This Top?
You can follow the fabulous striped design by applying three yarn colors or keep it simple and go for only one shade of your choice. The designer used yarn in white, light blue, and blue that pair beautifully together and create a fresh summer look.
