This top is created using granny squares around the bottom joined using the Continuous Flat Braid, then crocheted in the round until the front and back are separated for the sleeves. Because of the wide A-line shape, the sides drape longer than the front. Pair that with the simple waist shaping, and you get a really cute cropped tee. However, you don't have to make your top cropped.

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!"
