This crochet top down tee pattern might seem difficult, but the look might fool you. The top is worked from the neck down in one piece, then split into short sleeves and body at bust. With mostly beginner friendly single crochet stitches, it's easy to work up. The few rows of braided puff stitches creates a fun challenge for new crocheters, and makes for a fun change of monotony between the repeats of basic stitches.

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!"

The Melanie Tee
"This top is designed to have room, but not too much. For a fitted top you may wish to size down from your actual bust measurement. For a roomier top, size up! The chart below will list the minimum and maximum recommended bust measurements, as well as act as a guide for stitch counts. For reference, counts are occasionally given in the following format: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). In my mind, the great thing about a loose fitting top of any type is the ability to layer it over other pieces, wear it on its own, or layer over it. Especially for those of you looking to minimize and curate a capsule wardrobe, a piece like this has the potential to be a multi-season staple."
