I recently completed TCDDIY’s cute crochet tank top as a stash buster project. I decided to continue on stash busting and came across the modern crop top tutorial and decided to work it up.

I was recently introduced to TCDDIY thanks to Youtube’s recommendations. She makes a ton of modern crochet clothing out of category 4 yarn. I have oodles of this type of yarn, so I chose her cute crochet tank top tutorial to use as a stash buster.

There has been a lack of crochet posts on this blog since April because I’ve been working on a dress prototype. It was inspired by a comfy looking racerback dress I saw on Instagram. I decided to make the straps and waist a bit more interesting by using a puff-V stitch, but kept the rest of the dress single crochet so it wouldn’t be too holey.

I had some leftover blue yarn from the Aviva dress I recently made, so I decided to play yarn chicken and attempt to make myself another Nami top since the yarn I used for the first version was variegated and really took away from the zig zag design.

I have been so interested in the pattern (texture???) of Lalipopcrochet’s Empress skirt since the pattern came out last June. This pattern has slowly been making its way up my crochet queue since that time and I’m happy to say it finally made it to the top!
