Pura vida from Costa Rica !!!! Oh I almost cried when you said that because this is the first time I knit my own top and I am super happy with the results and I was going to write to you anyway and in the end you said it and I couldn't believe it !!! Yes, Pura vida is our way to say hello, say goodbye, ask how we are, it's our whole way of living. Thanks for sharing and thanks for this beautiful tutorial !! Pura vida!!

[@koldenhilburn7375]

I absolutely loved making this pattern, it was so easy and turned out so cute! I added my own flare by adding wood beads to the straps to get the extra boho look! Thank you!

[@pigeonplayz1827]

that’s a great idea tysm!!

[@amelbouzaiene6395]

can I have the pattern pls ? the website is not available any more

[@kirstic1996]

I never even crochet before, and I succesfully made this top as my first project! It looks gorgeous, I am so proud of it ^^

Wow

[@Izzrules]

I've been crocheting for 3 years and this is the first time I've actually made something I could wear! It's normally too hard because a lot of pattern makers have a one size fits all approach. Thank you!!!!!!!

[@irangles9128]

I love to see your tutorials. I am a beginner in crochet even though I am on my 50’s I try to do some of the beautiful tops for my daughter’s. And today you give me more than inspiration for crochet but for appreciation for life. Thank you you are so young talented and a very wise beautiful person. You are right, pura vida on everything. ❤️

[@knitrollers]

this is the easiest crochet top I have made. I made my first halter neck top and it looks beautiful specially the neck part. Its very simple yet so classy. Thank you so much sharing this pattern with us. Perfect for beginners.

[@genevievesosnowski9015]

Amanda, I love this pattern and will finish tomorrow. My granddaughter will be very surprized. You are very creative, thank you.

[@rosagonzalez6882]

What a wonderful experience to have seen your tutorial.. I’m from Costa Rica but live in the USA ... YOU ARE PURA VIDA!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@RosyCheeksBoutiq]

I absolutely LOVE that you braided the straps so they just already have a tassel! BRILLIANT!!! I always crochet my straps and then hate having to make a tassel afterwards, this is going to save so much time and everything I make is getting tassels now!😆 hahaha

[@catherinecodjia1192]

Thank you so much ! The explanations of the very first rows and the triangle shape are really CLEAR... I'm starting my first crochet top and I'm glad it works !

[@333TDT]

Made the top a few months back and I'm in love! It's easy to follow the instructions even for a beginner like me. Made some changes as I wanted to include 5 colours and this size is a bit to small for me. Currently making the second top for my best friend ❤️

[@sujathanaren242424]

Thank you for the lovely top tutorial. Your explanation is very clear. I could make one easily. Much appreciated 😊

[@kanaabatbayar281]

Came back here to say I made one and wore on the beach for vacation. Looks go good in pics. Thank you ❤

[@christinemartinez5510]

Thank you for this simple but effective pattern. My grand-daughter absolutely loves the top I made for her.

[@bloom_sophia1437]

I've just finished my top and it is my first time doing it, and I so love the result, at first I thought that it is failed but when I tried it suits me well, and I so love it. thank you for sharing your ideas about crochet. hopefully I can wear this when we were going to the beach. hahaha. thank you so so much.

[@JordanCosme]

I think a nice off the shoulder top would be beautiful for the summer, judging by your work! You work is amazing!!

[@AmandaLoveSantos]

yess love that idea! 💗 i’ve been wanting to make an off the shoulder top too lol

This tutorial was amazing and so easy to follow for a beginner. Thank you so much for making this!!!

R J aww thank you so much!! ❤️ that’s so sweet. i hope to see some Pura Vida halter tops out in the street one day being worn by your girls lol 😊 thanks for you sweet words 🙏🏼

[@elainewalsh9075]

This was really fun! The video was helpful, but it was worth it to purchase the pattern PDF. I used a 3 weight yarn doubled up, and a 4 mm hook. With these small tweaks, it helped to check the gauge. Loved the little bonus at the end of the video!

[@porousandknitasha]

Just finished a couple of these and they came out cute. I made one in this size for my skinny little niece and added a few side rows to make a larger one for myself. Easy tutorial. Thanks ❤️

[@son2392]

how did you make it to large size?

[@terinunes604]

Wow found you three in the morning can't sleep you are awesome!!!

[@Laflacaycancer]

I love the clear explanation you guided this tutorial with, and the simple pattern anyone can make. I always do my work my way, but I got the shape idea from you and made the one my granddaughter asked for in front and back post stitches. and the final sides in single crochet. thanks a lot for your work sharing this project. it's the first time I see one of your videos, but I will look for more if you have them. TY. Silvia.

[@aviatorstorm7812]

I felt like I was having a good friend guide me the whole way. You did a great job explaining everything perfectly and showing your process. Thank you for the lovely video, I made the top with some leftover yarn I had and I love it!! Hope you and your family are having a lovely day.

[@myrawooten5162]

Your clothing ideas are very nice and your instructions are very clear and easy to follow please keep them coming

[@marciamorrow7149]

I’m going to make that for my granddaughter! Oh and I’ve been to Costa Rica, it’s beautiful !

[@Amalie-d9t]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have now finished a beautifull top :D great instructions, very easy to follow ❤

[@joannarutter8351]

Made this with scrap yarn lying around and a 4mm hook with some adjustments and loving it! Just took me a few hours. It's really comfy. Probably a great 2nd or 3rd garment if you're a beginner crocheter.

[@emilyhaworth895]

thank you! been crocheting for a few days now and i just finished this top. Made a few mistakes with the stitch increases but i don’t think you can tell now that it’s finished - and it fits really nicely because of the drawstrings at the back :) once again, thank you for the lovely pattern. have a nice day and stay safe ❤️

[@deannarandol7642]

Does the string around your neck rub on it?

[@adrianabaez3147]

Beautiful!!! I dont speak english, but you explain very clear. I gonna do it for this summer! Kisses from Mexico

It is indeed very beautiful and it is wonderfully and painstakingly explained. I would also like you to explain one with the covered back please.

[@elizabethguerrero6388]

Que linda blusa, ya la hice. Soy de Costa Rica y me siento orgullosa que tu top crop se llame Pura Vida como se dice acá. Gracias por compartir.

[@katreciabatiste3169]

I stalked your social media for about a week after I found you waiting on this tutorial. This top is soooooooo beautiful! I usually follow videos but I bought the pattern for this to be sure I did it right and in the right size (first time ever purchasing a pattern).

[@AmandaLoveSantos]

thank you 💞 that’s so exciting! thanks for waiting. & let me know if you have any questions when following the pattern! my biggest tip is to make sure you gauge matches mine. if it doesn’t, then just adjust your tension. :)

[@katreciabatiste9066]

Amanda Love Santos I was wondering if you could tell us the exact colors you used for the top in the photos. I ordered lion brand 24/7 cotton yarn in jade, café au lait, and camel and it just doesn’t look like the jade or café au lait are even close but they look as if they are the closest match.

[@suzanneoshea7741]

Where can I buy the pattern

[@marcebenivelasco6801]

Thank you Ms. Amanda! I completed my 1st Project and I am happy to have accomplished my own Crop Top Chrochet.

Congrats! That's amazing and I'm so honored that your first project was my design 💗

[@francesmariegordola4577]

Thank you for this tutorial ❤, I was able to make my first crochet top as a beginner this is a very helpful tutorial. 🫶✨

[@sigridkutz5170]

Beautiful pattern, thank you. I would like to see summer tops with and without short sleeves. I figured out one top I really like by completing a similar top then this one (it had a wider top straight edge), but making a wider shoulder strap which I fastened to a back piece (crochet same as front ). Then I crochet around each arm hole working a short sleeve. It looks great. I am using the thick #4 cotton yarn for most of my tops, it works faster. I am always look forward to your next project. I love the idea of creating a base piece, then changing it slightly to get a different look.

[@AmandaLoveSantos]

thank you 💛 that's something i love that about crochet too, there is always a way to make it your own. & that's so creative to add sleeves. I really wonder how it would look & i would love to see how you change up this piece if you end up making it!

[@kpkuykend]

Just finish my first attempt at this top for my daughter. It turned out great!!

[@brillant26]

I just learned new way of changing yarn here! Thank you so much!❤ I hope I'll make this in coming days..

How gorgeous that beach and ocean is in Costa Rica! The top is so pretty, great tutorial and thanks for the link. I’d love you to do a baby doll top, something with thin straps but maybe more coverage for bigger mamas like me! Thanks for sharing💕🙏💕

[@AmandaLoveSantos]

Vicky Dee it was beautiful! i miss the beach so much lol. but thank you for the idea! i love it 💗 i actually have something sketched out that sounds similar to what you described. so i think i’m going to run with that idea! 😄 would you prefer it a solid color or multicolored? just wondering

Hi, just watched this lovely top you just made it looks amazing, I love the way you had done the pattern,. Now top it off with beautiful lovely words at the end so kind & positive 💜💜💜💜

[@iZiggy_]

If your making a bigger size what you want to do is keep going past where she said. you can keep going on either side to make it as wide as you need to be. Keep following the same steps. I have a wide love handle section so I applied the method of how she stopped at a certian point at the top to the sides of where I want it to cover my love handle region. then I made a small extention of what I worked up. fastened off by making it straight instead of it being diagnal. then continuted finllowing the instructions. I suggest making the straps wider if you have bigger chest for obvious reasons. >.> srry for my bad english

[@lianaaultman5918]
