As you said, crochet garments take much more time and the material is much more expensive, but undoubtedly the knitted garments are unique and special.
Sewing is a more practical and economical option, although it also has its degree of difficulty. This top is very beautiful and the amazing thing is that the fabric looks like knitted fabric.
Yes, the fabric looks like crochet fabric it is just so unfortunate that it is only 1.5 yards I would have made two. Crochet, knitting, and sewing all have their own difficulties and aesthetics
