Ruffle Sleeve Crop Top by Priyanka of @craftsandcoffee17
Hello everyone, Im Priyanka from craftsandcoffee17. I always wanted to try crochet blouses for sarees. So decided to make one. I got fantastic , quick and easy crop top pattern from Pinterest that is Ruffle Sleeve Crop Top.
It is a very good option for blouse and I chose cotton yarn from Anchor threads. Here I have used Anchor mercerised knitting cotton Art. 4057 in red colour with shade number 047. Usually anchor threads come in balls of 50g and I used 4 to 4.5 balls for this crop top, which is approximately around 800 yards. I used a 2.5mm hook size. Basic crochet level is enough for this make with a bit knowledge of seaming, sizing and fit. Only challenge I faced here is to make crop top fit like a blouse without buttons or hooks . The long tail construction to knot at back is a good option to make fit to size. The Knot also turned out classy. Draping is very comfortable as a long tail is provided to make flexible in tieing tight or lose as we want.
The Meenbo Bolero by Meera of @crochettalesbymeera
Hello, I am Meera Radhakrishnan.
The meanbo open front bolero is a simple summer wear and can be paired with casual outfits.Its incredibly light so its perfect for hot summer days. This crochet bolero pattern is simple and beginners friendly and quite quick to work up. The pattern is worked as one piece with only minimal seaming required.
I have used anchor mercerised cotton 4057 shade no 54, the hook size is 2.5mm and approximate yardage required for making this small size bolero is 550yds. This anchor yarn will give the bolero a light and cool feel and perfect for summer. If you are new to crocheting lace, then this bolero would be a perfect opportunity to give it a try.

Summer Crochet Vest by Pooja of @poojascrochet
Hi I’m Pooja and my Instagram handle is poojascrochet.
I have made an easy lacy summer vest. The pattern is designed by Katerina, I got it from Pinterest and it is also available on the designer’s blog bykaterina.com.
The great part about this pattern is that it is available in written format, as a chart pattern and as a video tutorial.
It is an advanced beginner pattern since it uses only simple crochet chains and stitches.
I have made this vest using Anchor 4057 in shade 0050 which is a pretty pink and I used a 2.5 mm crochet hook. I used about 4 and a half balls which comes up to about 220g. The anchor cotton makes the vest comfortable for the summer since it is soft and light. It is easily customisable to any size. I had a great time making this pattern.
