This pattern uses the tapestry crochet technique, with non-working yarn carried through each stitch to blend the vibrant colors seamlessly. The construction of this top involves creating the front and back panels first, followed by the sleeves, and finishing with a round of single crochets around the neckline, cuffs, and waist.

The Color Fusion Diamond Top is designed to be a loose, oversized top, featuring an open split from the waist to where the sleeves start, adding a touch of chic casualness perfect for summer. The colorful diamonds pop against each other, creating a visual feast that’s as fun to wear as it is to make.
