The Before Sunrise Top is a fun, flirty bandeau top secured with elastics and crochet chain straps. Worn with 5-7”/13-18cm of positive ease, it’s comfortable but sexy at the same time. Oh, and it’s also rollercoaster tested :)

Construction
The top is worked in the round from the bottom up, beginning and ending with a folded hem. The elastics are then inserted into each hem, and the straps are created using crochet chains. Lastly, stitches are picked up at both ends of the top to create the ruffles.
