Hello everybody,
Yeah! I crochet again. For more than a month I have not crocheted because of my knee pain.
Last week before our unplanned trip to Olongapo City, I passed by a thrift store called Fabulousa. I picked a light weight cotton with unusual side tail.
When I tried it on, hmm, the back and front was so open...then, an idea came up. Aha, I can add on crocheted edging, so I bought it, would you believed? For 5 pesos(roughly 1cent) only!
I bought a matching color green of mercerized cotton, I started with a blanket stitch all around, just yesterday and continued tonight.
using 1.5mm steel hook, my new crochet hook I bought in Olongapo City from my Crochetist buddy, Lorna, when I met her during our unplanned travel last week.
This is the back part...
Now, this is the final outcome. Tonight when I crocheted this part,
Hubby asked...
What are you doing?
Me: "Am finishing my new/old top"
Hubby saw the back, "showing your cleavage?" with big eyes!
Me: "NO, this is the BACK PART!" Ahehehe...
Am still crocheting the sleeves part, then...the lower skirt part.
Excited to wear it, but, hmm...I think too stylish for grandma.
Next post, I will wear it and ask your opinion if the design is okey.
Thanks for dropping by...

That is a very pretty top. Perfect for grandma 😊

The top looks great with the new border! Much more put together and expensive. These kind of crochet and fabric combos seem to be very stylish and hip at the moment.
Yes, @neumannsalva true simple cheap top can be expensive looking with crochet border...

I’m sure the design would look great on you! Love the idea of crocheting the edge. I too was thinking to do that for my tops, those that are too short or neckline to big. Thank you for showing us how!

oh thank you much much for dropping by @marblely Yes, the nice solution for our too deep top neckline and back is to add on crochet stitches or motifs with matching edgings, old top becomes new.
