I think it’s becoming very obvious that I love crocheting clothes for my daughter. This kid is the very definition of a ‘crochet worthy.’ Should anyone compliment her handmade digs, without an ounce of prompting or coaching from anyone, she exclaims, “Thanks! My Mommy made this out of yarn! She makes so many beautiful things out of yarn!” And then she will rattle off my past projects on her little fingers like a historian.

Which is to say, if she asks for a cold shoulder top, I make her one.

This pattern has directions to create a crop top, a T-shirt, or a dress. Made with fingering weight yarn, it is light and airy and perfect for the hot summer sun.
