DEIMA’S CROCHET TOP
The perfect top in the CROCHET series is available soon! It’s been a favorite for years, for the made-to-order customers, and soon - all you amazing and creative knitters, can finally join in and make the top yourselves.

The top is worked from the top down. First, the back is knitted with short rows, then each shoulder is worked separately before the pieces are joined. Finally, the edges and button bands are crocheted.
