Pulling off a chic leggings outfit is my favorite styling game. So, this long crochet top is another one to go with tight bottoms daily wear. This is a lightweight and comfortable fit top made by self-striping cotton yarn. In order to create a stretchable textured fabric, I designed it with simple ribbed stitches.

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch (counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so just choose your best technique 🙂
