Materials
– Fine (2)/Sport-Weight Yarn (18 wpi). I used Spring Garden by Ice Yarns.
– 6.5-mm (K/10.5 US, 3 UK) Tunisian Crochet Hook with a Cable Extension of at least 20” (50 cm).

Construction
To build the Tunisian Crochet Summer Top we are going to make two separate panels, the front and the back one. For both panels, we’ll be working bottom-up and crochet the entire panel as a single piece. For the straps, you’ll not have to cut yarn and join again, and we’ll see how later in the pattern.
This top pattern requires some seaming for the sides and the straps.

Size
All the details about sizes can be found in the blog post or in the picture attached.
