Sunshine State Halter - A Beginner-Friendly Crochet Pattern for Endless Summer Vibes
If you’re looking for the perfect summer project that’s stylish, easy to customize, and totally beginner friendly, let me introduce you to my Sunshine State Halter!
As a relatively new Florida transplant, this top was designed with sunny days, sandy toes, and laid-back beach vibes in mind, and is my new go-to for summer. It’s breezy, boho, and completely customizable—perfect for festivals, vacations, or just soaking up sunshine in your backyard.
I wanted to make something that even new crocheters (like myself) could tackle with confidence. The Sunshine State Halter uses simple stitches and an intuitive construction, so you can whip it up without stress.

💗My Inspiration💗
I started on this pattern during one of the hardest times in my life. As a single mom, I’ve struggled to pay bills and even put food on the table. Crochet has always been my way to create something beautiful, even when things feel heavy.
Sharing my patterns and handmade items is more than just a business—it’s my hope for a better future for my son and me. Every purchase, every share, and every time someone makes one of my designs helps me get closer to giving him the life he deserves.
When you make the Sunshine State Halter, know that there’s a little piece of that hope and love in every stitch.
