Crochet Crop Top Pattern
It's summer time and that means summer knits! I made this brand new crop top, it worked out quickly and I think it's the perfect addition to anyone's wardrobe this summer. The pattern for the crochet crop top below has modifications you can do to make this the perfect fit for you. The pattern is written for a small (M, L, XL)

Materials
Yarn - I used this cotton yarn from Loops and Threads in the color pastel pink
Crochet Hook 6.5mm or K hook
The Pattern
This pattern is worked in two sides, a front piece and a back piece and then the sides are sewn together.
Cast on 42 (46, 50, 54) stitches, or if you are looking for a longer/shorter top adjust stitches to your desired length, measuring from under the armpit.

Front Piece
Row 1: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
Row 2: SC in backloops of each stitch, chain 1, turn
Row 3: SC in backloops of each stitch across, 2 SC in last chain, chain 1, turn.
Repeat rows 1-3 3(4, 5, 6) more times. * If you are looking for a more relaxed fit you can repeat one more time. To measure, bring the first row under your armpit and this part should now match up to wear your bra strap usually is.
Next Row: SC in backloops of each stitch, chain 15 (if you want a longer strap make add more stitches)
Row 1: SC in each chain, and SC In back loops of each stitch, chain 1, turn
Row 2: SC In backloops of each stitch, chain 1, turn
Repeat row 2 5 more times

(Continue this if you want a deeper V, or repeat less if you want a higher neckline).

Mirror your crochet to match the side you just crocheted for the front piece. Bind off, leave a long piece of yarn attached for your sewing.
Repeat to create the back piece.

Sew sides together, and the tops of the straps, weave in any ends, grab a spiked seltzer and enjoy your summer in your cute handmade crochet crop top!
