The Muse Top is a breezy, modern crochet top featuring a bold off-the-shoulder silhouette and soft ruffled drape. Designed with a square neckline anchored by thick straps, it highlights the shoulders while keeping the fit relaxed and wearable. The sleeves fall lightly off the arms with a subtle bell shape, adding movement and texture.
This top actually started as a dress—but I ran out of yarn halfway through, so it became a top instead. Honestly? Best happy accident ever. It’s cuter, comfier, and way more wearable. I love how the shoulder cut shows just enough for a feminine vibe, and because you make the straps to fit you, it actually stays up—no more awkwardly tugging at it like with off-shoulder styles.
Worked top-down in simple stitches, the pattern lets you customize the body length, sleeve length, and fit of the neckline and shoulders. Its airy, slightly oversized fit makes it perfect for layering or summer styling.
