1. Tunisian Crochet Summer Top

Not many people would choose Tunisian crochet for a summer top. There is a great misconception that Tunisian crochet only produces thick and heavy fabrics.

However, this Tunisian Crochet Summer Top will prove that it is possible to make a light and drapey summer top with this technique. Choice of yarn and size of hook plays a big part in this!

Opt for a lighter yarn like linen or bamboo and choose a larger crochet hook for more open fabric results. This beautiful crochet summer vest top uses three different Tunisian crochet stitches to practice- knit, simple, and extended crochet stitch.
