Crochet Trendy Mesh Ultra Crop Top Dante

2024-09-15

Hello My Crochet Friends!

For today’s tutorial, I’ve chosen a fun crochet crop top! Teenagers often call it an "ultra crop top" or a mesh top with long sleeves—also just "sleeves." The best part? This pattern is perfect for beginners!

These crop tops are super popular, and I’ve crocheted many of them. In the spring, I made a raglan-style version with short sleeves:

and last year I created a more advanced top with squares and ultra-long sleeves, which experienced crocheters can easily tackle.

Today’s top is made with a cozy, warm fall yarn that can be worn year-round. It's versatile and can be styled over a tank, t-shirt, or long sleeves. Girls can decide if they want a short or longer top, with sleeves to match, in any of the beautiful Dante yarn colors.

The pattern is simple—just double crochets and chain stitches, explained step-by-step in my video tutorial.

Pick your favorite color (I went with dark beige by request), grab your hook, and let’s start crocheting this trendy top together!

This modern Ultra Crop top is absolutely fabulous and outstanding and will complete your outfits.
Super easy to wear!

PATTERN NOTES

1) Before you start take a measurement of your body and a body measurement and a length of your hands. Please see the final measurement of the top below.

2) This pattern is for S/XS women size, but you can easily adapt to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the number of edging panel's rows. Remember that when making your top bigger you will need more yarn.

3) The top is crocheted as a one piece  

4) On every row with double crochet stitches replace the first stitch with 3 chain stitches.

5) The Crop top is symmetrical. You can wear front panel on front side or on back side or upside down. 

6) Instructions between two asterisks should be repeated for the remainder of the round

7) Measurement:

Front and back panel - length: 10 cm / 4 inch

Neck opening -: 30 cm / 11.7 inch

Front and back panel - width: 47 cm / 18.3 inch  

Sleeve length38 cm / 14.8 inch

Sleeve width: 14 cm / 5.5 inch

*Measurements are taken from the garment lying flat, before the yarn has stretched out/dropped.
I suggest trying on the top. The corners markers should meet underneath your arms on both sides. The top should fit over your bust.
