Gold bangles and a thin chain necklace dress up a short sleeve crochet mesh sweater in lavender for warm evenings out with friends. Swim cover up duty suits the cropped mesh top too, since it rolls small enough to tuck into a tote bag beside a towel. Purple in an open mesh does something a…
Bubble sleeves give this crochet crop top its shape, worked as separate black panels and joined to a flat rectangle body at the sides. A black mock neck finishes the crop pullover on a 6 mm hook, and the short length stretches small stash amounts further. Scrap yarn, but nobody would guess. The stripes across…
