Add elegance and function to your wardrobe with the Perfect Crochet Top! This beginner friendly pattern works up fast and can be worn all year round. You can choose any yarn you want, but I opted for Loops & Threads Cotton yarn. By using cotton yarn, this elegant crochet top provides breathability on those hot summer days or warmth layered over a shirt in the winter.
