Materials
-
Yarn: Melissa Cool yarn (100% acrylic). The tutor uses two colors (brown and white). Each ball is 80g (approx. 220 meters).
-
Crochet Hook: 3.0 mm (Manufacturer recommends 2.5 mm to 3.0 mm).
-
Tools: Measuring tape, scissors, tapestry needle, and stitch markers.
-
Accessories: Buttons for the back closure and decorative beads/charms for the straps (optional).
Level of Difficulty
Easy / Beginner-Friendly. The stitches used are fundamental, and the pattern repeats are straightforward, making it an excellent project for those new to garment making.
Special Features
-
Crossed Double Crochet Texture: Provides a modern look with a slight relief that makes the fabric less "flat."
-
Built-in Buttonholes: Because of the stitch pattern, you don't need to crochet complex buttonholes; the spaces between the stitches work perfectly.
-
High Elasticity: The "back bump" foundation technique prevents the bottom of the top from being too tight or restrictive.
Tutor's Suggestions
-
Check Measurements: Always measure the chain against your body or a well-fitting top to ensure the circumference is correct for your size.
-
Floppy Chains: Make your initial chains "loose" (floja) so that the first row of stitches is easier to work into and doesn't pull the fabric.
-
Color Variety: While the tutor uses two colors, they suggest this pattern looks equally beautiful in a single solid color or a multi-colored yarn.
Uses
-
Summer Fashion: A breathable, comfortable top for beach days or casual summer outings.
-
Gifts or Sales: Because it uses very little material and works up quickly, it is a profitable item for those who sell their crochet work.
Conclusion
This halter top is a fast and rewarding project that results in a professional-looking garment. The combination of simple color blocking and the crossed-stitch texture makes it a standout piece in any summer wardrobe.
Tip: When working the crossed stitches, don't pull your yarn too tight. Keeping a relaxed tension allows the "X" shape to sit flat and highlights the relief pattern without distorting the fabric.
