HandMade: The Crochet West Halter Top.

Hello there! Here is my latest WIP, from last weeks' "On my hook." I've been wanting to create a crochet halter top for quite awhile since I last made one. [here!] There were a few designs in my head, but I actually decided to wing it. With the halter top you can adjust the straps around the neck and the rest of it just falls into place comfortably around my back. I paired a strapless bra with this specific top as well.

Now I'm not much of a halter or crop top kind of girl honestly, but lately I have been picking some up to try and creep out of my comfort zone and I feel this top was the best compromise for that venture! I love a good challenge

Oh, I just might create a free pattern available next week for this crochet halter top if anyone is truly interested in it!

Project Details:
The yarn I used was Caron Simply Soft Yarn, featuring Lavender.
The hook I used was a H/8-5.00MM.
The halter crochet top pattern is entirely experimental from my own pattern. 

Now I am off to finish up my latest crochet wip!
