Year round garments are my favorite to create. Whether it's summer or winter, camisole or long sleeve, I enjoy wearing pullovers that can be worn any season. This summer top crochet pattern is not only for summer. This bat-wing crochet top is loose fitting enough to pair with long sleeves and enjoy every month of the year!
This crochet pullover pattern uses Scheepjes Catona. This affordable yarn has 100 colors to choose from. For more details on this mercerized cotton, check out the yarn review.
