DESIGN INSPIRATION
Having a fun top is something we all need in our wardrobe. Be it for parties, outdoor events, or a day at the beach! This crochet festival top was designed with coverage in mind. Not fully a bikini and not entirely a top either.
The mesh V shape panel and frilly tassels are a fun addition giving it some serious bohemian and hippie vibe.
Crochet Festival Top Construction
This festival frill crop top starts off with the basic cup shape using half-double crochet stitches. Then a gorgeous row of scallop stitches is added around the cups, followed by some fan stitches along the bottom of the cups with simple double crochet stitches.
Chains are then added along the entire bottom band. After this, you will become a master in chains. And to finish it off, just cut a couple of strands and work up a slip knot on every other chain along the bottom edge.
This top is easily adjustable to fit any cup size and body width with these string ties and stretchy yarns.
