This pattern is for a cropped, off the shoulder crochet top created with beautiful star stitches.

It requires a 5 mm and 6.5 mm hook. It is written in American crochet terminology and includes photos to help the maker along.

It includes size options for Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large.

It also gives instructions on how to create a HDC foundation Chain and how to create the Star Stitch.

The example I have used in the photos is made with cotton yarn although this top could also be made in bamboo, acrylic or a blend of yarns.
