Welcome back to my channel! I saw this style of top trending the last few months and decided to make my own crochet version. It's such an easy top to make and the shape is so beautiful and can easily be dressed up or down. The top is made from two identical patterns and all we will be using will be hdc stitches and sc to seam.... that's it! It's a quick and easy project with a wonderful outcome. I wore this top a lot during the summer and even transitioned it into my fall wardrobe.
Please let me know if you decide to make this top! If you like this video don't forget to subscribe, and please let me know in the comment section below if you have any questions or feedback.
Notes
_______________________________
-If you want to make the top less "holey" you can use a smaller hook or a thicker weight of yarn, you can also sew in a liner to the top. You could also use sc stitches or a more closed stitch.
-If you don't want the neckline to swoop down so low, I would recommend doing decreases every other row right from the start.
