Learn how to crochet a cute halter top with ruffles in this step-by-step crochet tutorial. This crochet summer top has a ribbed bottom, a simple halter shape and a pretty ruffle edge, making it perfect for warm weather, festivals, vacations and handmade summer outfits.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to crochet a halter top from start to finish. We begin with the ribbed bottom part of the top using back loop single crochet. Then we join the ribbing, work around the top, crochet the body, shape the front and make the halter neck strap. After that, we sew the top together and add the ruffles at the bottom.
