CROCHET TOP VIDEO TUTORIAL:
https://youtu.be/-00syNUE8Rg

The Key Largo Top Crochet Pattern top is inspired by the tropical greenery backdrop at every view. It’s easy to grow a variety of beautiful plants in humid climates and the Key Largo Top fabric reflects the luscious greenery.

In spring we often dream of tropical places as the winter weather begins to pass. Key Largo is just over 4 hours from my home and one of my favorite places. It’s not as far south or as crowded as Key West with a lot to offer.

NOTES
The Key Largo Top is created from four rectangles worked flat, two for the
body and two for the arms. Blocking the pieces to measurements will be key in opening up the stitch and drape.

The body rectangles are seamed together at the shoulders and on the sides. The sleeves will each be seamed for the underarm and then attached to the sleeve hole on the body pieces.

Ribbing will then be worked at the bottom of the garment and on the sleeves to shape the piece.

Lastly, a reverse single crochet stitch will be used around the neckline for a finishing touch.
