Crochet Summer Top Pattern: Bliss in Purple

When I designed this Summer crochet Top pattern, It took me only a few hours because of the fast and easy stitches used. If you know how to make double crochet, chains, and sc, then you can make his Top!

Permit me to introduce you to the “Bliss in Purple Tee” Don’t you just love the elegant look of this Tee? Have you seen the Buttons on the Back? Do you know you can also style this tee with the buttons on the front?

This crochet Summer Top is my new Favorite. I have made a few other tops with this the only one with buttons.
