Summer Crochet Top MonteNegro #3

A design from the studio of stricken-im-trend.com. 

This summer top is the breezy evolution of my popular knitted top MonteNegro #1 –
a design that many of you already love.

With this crochet version, you revisit that signature look, but work with a completely new technique:
light, summery, and with a delicate lace pattern in the upper section.

The result is a modern summer top that works perfectly both at the beach and in everyday life –
casual, stylish, and absolutely timeless.

The pattern is structured so you can work your way through step by step with confidence –
supported by:

• detailed written instructions
• supplementary crochet charts
• logically structured patterns

Even confident beginners will enjoy making this.

Why you'll love this top:

• inspired by the bestseller MonteNegro #1 – but this time for crocheters!
• modern, airy summer design
• versatile from beach to everyday wear
• clearly structured instructions
• explained visually + in writing

MonteNegro #1 was originally a design for knitters.
With this crochet version, I deliberately want to reach crocheters too –
because style knows no technique.
