Elise Summer Top
"The straightforward construction with just two rectangular panels and minimal shaping makes this summer top pattern accessible for all skill levels. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crocheter, you’ll enjoy this quick make. One of the great features of this pattern is its flexibility in length. Whether you prefer a crop top, standard length, tunic or dress, you’ll find it easy to customize to your desired fit (even if you’re a beginner, you’ll be able to make the adjustments). The two-row repeat block stitch and the ruffle adds an interesting texture making your tank top stand out.
