I created the pattern for this crop top back in 2015 but never publish it in this blog until recently when someone saw the picture of this crop top on my Instagram and asked me about it.

I've uploaded a video tutorial for this crop top on my YouTube channel, so if you can't understand any part of this pattern please checkout the video.

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.

~If you can’t understand any part of the pattern, please refer to the video tutorial~
