A little something for summer, Double Dipped is a fun and flirty top that’s a cinch to make. Worked in Sport weight cotton/linen, this top is crocheted using a lacy stitch pattern for the bottom to keep you cool while keeping you covered, and a solid stitch pattern for the bodice. Inspired by deep wading, the darker lace on the edging looks as if you’ve taken a quick dip to cool off. Add to that the flair for just the right amount of swing, and you’ve got yourself one killer top!
