A Touch of Summer Elegance

Introducing the latest addition to my crochet collection: the Floral Crop Top. Crafted with a blend of linen, bamboo, and cotton, this top is not just a garment; it’s a piece of wearable art that encapsulates the essence of summer in every stitch.

Pattern Complexity

This pattern is designed for those with an intermediate level of crochet skill, but it’s well worth the effort for the beautiful result.

Materials Needed

• Quantities vary by size (XS to 2XL ranging from 250 g to 500 g)
• 4 mm crochet hook

Unique Features

This top features intricate flower stitches that add a three-dimensional aspect to the fabric, creating a visually stunning effect. The structure of the top includes a carefully crafted body and bust, joined together to enhance the garment’s shape and fit. The neckline and armholes are finely finished with a round of single crochet, ensuring clean and elegant edges.

Adjustable Length

The pattern allows for customization in length. Simply add extra rows in the body section where the flower stitches bloom to create a longer garment suited to your style preference.

Blocking for Perfection

To achieve the ideal finish and ensure the flowers lay flat, blocking is recommended as the final touch.
