This free crochet pattern and yarn review is brought to you by American Yarns<\/p><\/div>\n

Did you have a crochet cotton top as a kid? They were all the rage back in the 60’s and 70’s, the staple of every girl’s Summer wardrobe. I’m sure I remember wearing one when I was little, for some reason it brings back memories of the beach.<\/p>\n

Now that the weather is warming up, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to make Emma her own vintage style top to enjoy wearing this Summer. I’ve named it the Playtime Top<\/strong>, because it’s easy to wear and even easier to play in.<\/p>\n

\"Sugar<\/p>\n

I’ve used Lily Sugar’n Cream<\/a> from American Yarns<\/a> for this project. An easy to crochet 10ply cotton yarn that comes in a huge range of solid and variegated colourways. This particular colour, Ombre Calico<\/a>, grabbed me straight away with it’s sandy yellow and sky blue – it just screams seaside fun!<\/p>\n

\"Lily<\/p>\n

Because it fairly chunky, it works up quickly, so this top only took me a couple of evenings to finish.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been a bit reluctant to try crocheting a garment because it seems a little too advanced for your skill level, fear not! This pattern is super easy and doesn’t require any complicated shaping. It’s made up of two squares, so if you can crochet a blanket, you’ll do great with this crochet pattern.<\/p>\n

Emma wears about a size 8-10, but I’ve included instructions for making this top in any size you desire. Of course the bigger the top, the more yarn you’ll need, so plan accordingly.<\/p>\n
