CrochetwithAlannaMiall’s Wonderland top is the third clothing project I ever crocheted back in 2021. Unfortunately, I don’t wear it a lot - the yarn I chose makes it fairly heavy and droopy and I don’t love the ties. I’ve crocheted many clothing items and learned a lot since then, so I decided to make a new version that I think I’ll wear more. This version is short sleeved, tie-less, longer, and uses yarn that I frogged out of my 1st Nami top (because the variegation absolutely killed the stitch definition and that made me sad).

I made crochetwithalannamiall‘s Aviva dress back in early 2023. That dress is one of my favorites (both that I’ve crocheted and that I own in general), so I decided I should make a top version as my third project for Operation Crochet Warm Weather Stuff.

The second top I chose to make as part of Operation Crochet Warm Weather Stuff is the HOLEsome top from mermaidsyarns. It was a quick make for me (about 2 weeks) and I love the finished look.

I’ve been channeling all my maker energy into crocheting since it’s the only thing that really appeals to me right now. My Ravelry queue is about a mile long, so I decided to start Operation Crochet Warm Weather Stuff to knock out part of it. The first top I chose is the Glamour top from CrochetWithAlannaMiall .
