Create a soft and wearable summer piece with your own hands – tailored to your size and yarn stash.
A Light Top for Warm Days – Made with Calm and Joy
There’s something special about crocheting a garment that fits just right – soft, airy, and made with intention. This summer top, named Lila, was first made for a girl. She wanted something light and fitted. It had to be modest enough to wear without layering underneath.
The result? A simple, seamless top crocheted in the round, shaped with short rows in the front, and finished with personalized straps. It’s snug without being tight – and can be made in your favorite colors and cotton yarn.
