Sunshine
Festival Crop Top
You need:
Scissor
Measuring tape
3.5mm crochet hook/ any hook size to obtain gauge
Gauge 15 dc =2.5 x 0.5 inch
Yarn (sport/light worsted)
(approx. 50g of white yarn and a
little bit of multicolour yarn of your choice)
In this tutorial I use acrylic but you can use cotton or any type of yarn you like
Stitches used: Ch, sl st, sc, dc, trc
If you worry about this top being see through just sew a lining/bra pads.
However, if you use darker yarn colour it won't be noticeable or just use smaller hook size for tighter stitch.
This top will fit size S-M. For larger size add a few more foundation chains and more rows till you're satisfied with the coverage.
