Wave Stripe Crochet Cropped Cover Up Top

Rippling zigzag rows in mixed shades give this crochet crop its retro seaside feel, worked in an airy stitch that lets the light straight through. The boxy body ends well above the waist and the long sleeves fall past the wrist for a slouchy, borrowed shape. Pull it over a bikini top with cut-off shorts and the outfit is finished with no effort at all. Five colourways run from a soft sunset palette to a cool ocean blue and a bright leafy green, so there is one for every swimsuit already in the drawer.
