The Skylar Crop Top is the perfect beginner crochet garment project, ideal for those looking to create their first wearable piece. This stylish ribbed singlet is not only fashionable but also incredibly easy to make!
Featuring a ribbed body and braided tie straps, the Skylar Cami effortlessly complements any outfit. Whether paired with high-waisted jeans, denim skirts, or worn underneath a cropped cardi, it adds a cute and summery touch to your look.
Construction: The construction of this crop top is straightforward. You’ll begin by crocheting a simple rectangle, then sew the edges together, and finally, braid straps for the top.
The rectangle consists entirely of half double crochets, with each stitch worked into the back loops to create the signature ribbed texture of the design. This not only gives the top a knit-like appearance but also adds stretch, making it easy to wear over your head.
For a clean edge, remember to crochet a normal half double crochet in the last stitch of every row.
After crocheting the rectangle, sew the short sides together to form a tube. Try on the top at this point and mark where you’d like your straps to go using stitch markers, safety pins, or bobby pins.
To create sturdy straps, braid six strands of yarn together. The pattern intentionally makes the straps extra long, allowing you to tie bows and adjust the fit according to your body.
Once you’ve crocheted your four straps and attached them, your Skylar Crop Top is ready to wear!
