DESIGN INSPIRATION

Classic pineapple crochet crop top free pattern

My inspiration in making this crochet crop top was the pineapple lace crochet pattern. I love how fun and unique it is, and I love that it can be used to make a variety of crochet wearables.

I wanted to create a crop top that was summery and beachready. I thought that the pineapple crochet pattern would be perfect for this project. It is light and airy, perfect for summer days.

The pineapple pattern is so versatile and the end result is always stunning. I love that it is easy to learn and that the pattern is also eyecatching and fun.

CONSTRUCTION

Classic pineapple crochet crop top free pattern

This Halter Crop Top is easily adjustable to your cup size. Once the cups are completed, it’s just a matter of joining both cups together by following the Pineapple Pattern, which is basically 10 loops made at the beginning and then reduced to 1. 

For best results, you would need to use a stretchable yarn that will not only hug your body all day long, but also provide breathability. 

I am using Cascade Fixation Yarn in black with a 2.25mm hook. You can also add cup inserts like these and rubber band at the base for bigger gals.
