Welcome to my Coastal Breeze Summer Top Crochet Pattern,

Summers can get extremely hot here in Australia so it is refreshing to be able to make a light summer top that still allows that lovely summer breeze through the bodice.
This pattern is predominantly worked in the round and then you reattach to complete the straps and bottom feature. Also crocheting the top of the straps together to minimise any sewing which only leave the tidying of your yarn ends.

There is an option for a capped sleeve to be added if you prefer a little more coverage or you can just keep it as wide straps.
The pattern has a good range of sizes to suit most with the required stitch counts in brackets where needed on every row.

I find this top perfect for all seasons as it is cool for the warmer weather or pop a camisole or skivvy underneath to wear in winter.
The only choice you have to make is what yarn you wish to use and what colour you would like to make to match you favourite pants or skirts.
So lets get our fashion fun on and create your very own Coastal Breeze Summer Top.
