🦋 The Butterfly Top is a soft and sculptural crochet crop with a fluttery sleeve and a bold waistband motif worked in intarsia. It's a lightweight, easy-level project with a big visual payoff—perfect for spring and summer layering.
I designed this one because I simply wanted butterflies. Not just a stitch or a motif, but a whole line of them—right across the waist. I love how their shapes stand out against the body of the top, almost like little talismans. It’s an expressive but wearable piece, and the construction makes it feel modern and airy: two mirrored panels joined at the waistband, with deep V-neck lines in both front and back.
Crocheters who’ve never tried intarsia will find this is a very friendly intro. The video tutorial walks you through everything step-by-step.
