☀️ Your new favorite summer layer

The Muse Summer Top is an easy stitch repeat, which makes it a great first crochet garment. You can play with the sleeve length and the body length to make it exactly how you like it.

It’s worked flat in rows, seamed down the arms and sides, then finished with ribbing around the neck, arms and bottom. Want to see it first? The written pattern is also free on the blog.
