Top for hot and lazy summer days! Lungomare means ‘‘Along the beach’’!
Imagine yourself strolling along the beach with this cute crop cover-up top!
Skip or add lace-rounds to achieve everything from bikini-top to a long tank top.
The cups are easy to work, and have a good fit for most women. 3 cup-sizes.
The cups are worked with linked dcs (Ldc) to avoid gaps between the stitches.
No lingerie or lining is required, as the linked double crochet creates a dense fabric that is not see-through.
The shell-pattern is worked in the round to the bra-edge,top/down.
