Sakura Top

Enjoy springtime sweetness year-round with this intriguing ruffled crochet top. It will be ideal in white for warm, sunny days. This top features cascades of ruffles gracefully stitched into the skirt. With cherry appliqués sewn on and a delicate two-toned ribbon woven into the straps and front of the bodice, they add the perfect finishing touch. Its refreshing beauty is sure to delight the lucky wearer, especially when made in her favorite color!

IMAGINE THIS: Get creative and add vibrant hues with variety of ribbons and appliqués! Create a playful contrast and crochet bodice and skirt in different colors. You can also modify the pattern into a slightly different girly tank top by crocheting a longer bodice and adding just three layers of ruffles. Or just crochet a bodice part without ruffles, which could work as a vest worn with a shirt or blouse.
