Uses: This top is ideal for wearing over a bikini or a simple tank top.
-

Conclusion
This beach top is a rewarding project because it comes together very quickly once the squares are finished. The final look is professional yet handmade, and the adjustable straps ensure it fits comfortably on different body types. It is a fun way to turn basic crochet skills into a wearable piece of fashion.
Step-by-Step Details
This project is an excellent choice for a quick and trendy summer garment. The design relies on joining several identical crochet squares (pastillas) to form the body of the top. It features a floral-inspired center, airy mesh sections, and festive tassels along the bottom edge, resulting in a perfect piece for the beach or a music festival.
Tip
When creating the tassels, use a fine-tooth comb to brush through the yarn ends. This "unravels" the twist of the yarn, transforming a few simple strings into a dense, professional-looking fringe that elevates the entire look of the garment.
