This crop top will be perfect for those really hot summer days. Just throw it over a skirt or shorts and you are ready to go. And the best part, it is really easy to make! Even though it looks intricate, it is essentially made of just 2 identical granny squares! Why does it not look like granny squares you might ask? Because you are crocheting only 3 sides of the granny square and the 2 pieces are connected on both ends. Those ends are the front and back center of the top. Does that make sense? Read the detailed crochet pattern below and watch the step by step video tutorial to see just how easy it is to make your own intricate looking crop top.

For the yarn, I used fingering weight 8/4 cotton so it is nice and airy to wear all summer long. Even though it is a thin yarn, this crochet crop top works up pretty quickly and only uses 3 balls of yarn.
