I love when a new yarn is released! I was so excited to try the Lazy Days yarn when I first saw it. I was able to feel it in store and noticed how squishy it was! Something about the name being lazy days and the color Bluebell screamed summer to me so I knew I had to make a summer design. I also wanted you to be able to wear it year round with layering and that’s how The Coastal Belle Crop crochet pattern was born!
Because the yarn is so squishy with amazing bounce I wanted to use an open lace style stitch for my design. I ended up using V-sts but decided to use Tr sts in them instead of the typical single or double crochet. Every other row I popped a picot St in the V Sts instead of a Ch 1. I think it adds such a cute little extra detail!
The Coastal Belle Crop crochet pattern is worked from side to side. If you want to have a longer top be sure to check my notes and adjust your starting row. If you want your top wider or more fitting you can add less rows to the main panels! The sleeves are worked top down so they are easy to adjust as well. If you need them longer or shorter just add or remove rows in multiples of 2. This is a drop shoulder style top so the bigger the size you are making the shorter the sleeves will be because the seam hits lower on the bicep.
