Next, the second of the top ideas we’d like to present is the Topcho project. This is a fun combination of a short-sleeved tee and a v-neck poncho. Moreover, this fun garment is also a great way to accessorize a Western-themed garment that's nevertheless modern and fashionable.

Easy Striped Summer Tee
"The Easy Striped Summer Tee is a fun cropped topper that's incredibly simple to crochet. And a great addition to your warm-weather wardrobe. The Easy Striped Summer Tee is a great summer make - so easy you can crochet it at the beach or by the pool! Two rectangles, made of the most basic stitches, get seamed into a flattering v-neck top. The linked treble stitches at the waist give it a rolled look - but there's a substitute for that in the notes below if you want to keep it easy! The Easy Striped Summer Tee crochet pattern includes 3 sizes, that range from XS to 5X. This top features a loose, oversize fit and I've included the actual bust measurement for each size in the pattern. I've given this pattern a cropped length, but you can easily make it longer if desired too - just see the pattern Notes!"
