Ballet Wrap Top — Soft Pink Crochet Wrap Top 🎀🩰

Ballet Wrap Top - Crochet Ballet Wrap Top crochet tutorial

A soft pink ballet wrap top with tie bows — pearl frame, lace, satin ribbons, balletcore dream — delicate, feminine, perfect for soft girl days, ballet, everyday coquette.

I made this one on a quiet morning with pink satin on my table and pearls scattered like little moons — I had soft pink yarn and white lace, just like in your photo with pink crochet wrap top on pink satin with pearl frame, satin bows, lace, baby's breath and "BALLET WRAP TOP" gold text. A friend who loves balletcore asked for a top that was soft and wrap — "Can you make one that ties like a ballet wrap?" So I sat with soft pink cotton yarn, 4mm hook, and pearls around, and crocheted a wrap top while light came in pink. By afternoon it was finished with two long tie bows, and I wore it with a skirt. It was so ballet everyone smiled.

I laughed and said, "I made it yesterday with soft pink yarn and pearls on my table."
