This short summer crop top with adjustable criss cross ties at back is crocheted from Fingering (14wpi) yarn.
At first, you crochet the cups, then join them when making the bottom part with lace.
There are 3 sizes: S, M, and L. Larger sizes are given in parenthesis. Iara – is a Native American name from Tupi for “lady of the water”.

For sizes S and M this Iara Crop Top Pattern needs only 50g of Fingering yarn. It is lightweight, still, the cups are full and comfortable to use without extra lining.
