If you are looking for something light, airy, and feminine to wear this summer, you cannot miss the Sophia Crop Top crochet pattern by Carrie M Chambers. It features a beautiful lace edging and playful tassels that give it a nice boho touch. The top is tied at the back and neck, which makes it a very breezy and summery.
Is the Sophia Crop Top Difficult to Make?
This pattern is suitable for intermediate crocheters, but the step-by-step instructions and a video tutorial provided by the designer make things easier.
If you are at the beginning of your crochet journey, I would recommend going for a simpler design. You can also skip some of its fancy features, like the picot border and lace details, creating a more basic version of this crochet bralette.
Materials & Yarn You Can Use
Worsted yarn and a 5 mm crochet hook will help you get the desired gauge for the Sophia Crop Top. For a summer project like this, 100% cotton fibers are the best option. They offer good breathability and great stitch definition.
Here are some of the most popular brands you can go for: Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton, Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, Lily Sugar’n Cream.
How to Crochet Sophia Crop Top – Video Tutorial
To complete this beautiful crochet boho top, work two triangle-shaped cups with single crochets and then decorate them with picot edging. For the main body, you will use a combination of basic stitches and picots to produce a lovely lace fabric. Lastly, you finish your project with two adorable string tassels on the front for a polished look.
For extra help, follow the video tutorial below prepared by Carrie.
Can I wear This Crochet Top Without a Bra?
This chic crochet crop top is ideal for layering or wearing solo. It can work as a bikini top, a bralette, or be a bra itself. The cups are worked with dense single crochet stitches that ensure the right coverage for the bust.
You can pair it with the bottom of your bikini when chilling out on the beach or high-waisted jeans if you are strolling around the town.
