Crocheted clothes with stripes are, like checks and dots, something that never goes out of style. Try using two or more colors. Colors that match or contrast with each other. Crocheted stripes are just so unique and different and if you make random stripes and want a good harmony, go for a beige or white color between each color change.

How to always make stripes look good

The same goes for the stripes, yarn weights and colors – I chose beige, two shades of green, silver (that looks blue when paired with these colors!) and some sparkly yarn that I only crocheted in hdc (simply because I didn’t have a lot of it and wanted to save some). You can go for fine/sport like I did but with the hook size you can also use worsted or even bulky yarn – it’ll work great as well and give even more unique texture and enhance the wavy look even more. Especially if you use some sparkly bouclé yarn as I did, it makes if look really unique.

Again, you can just mix the stripes at random and even just leave the yarn end at the beginning of the row and pick it up later, as you work in the round. I like to generally always add a neutral color between each color change, but sometimes I have switched it up and made two shades of green after each other – this works best with similar colors, if I was using contrast colors I would have definitely seperated them with a beige or silver color.

Have fun with it!

Play around and have fun, this is the most unique top made from such a simple pattern. The pattern comes in three sizes but you can easily size it up, by just adding more stitches and rows – and try it on as you go. I made it in size S, the sizes are made to be on the bigger side, or at least make the top fit more loosely, which I like with this one, because the stitches are see-through.

You can wear a top under, or even just sew a piece of fabric on the inside to cover the breast area if you want (or wear a neutral colored bra).

I think this top will look so good with jeans but also a midi skirt.
