I have not released a new product for a quite long time due to many personal reasons so when I can release this pattern today, I’m really happy and excited. This is a type of top that I really love and dream of wearing every day. Simple but so cute, it so so easy to mix with pants, skirts or shorts for many different occasions.
This top is crocheted from 4 different pieces: Front Body Panel, Back Body Panel and Sleeves from the top down, this means you can adjust the top length easily.
Crochet Lace Edge Vneck Top Design Ideas:
I wanted this top to be so simple to make so I use the most simple and fast stitch to crochet: Double Crochet stitch so crochet the whole part. I also wanted to add the lace edge on the body bottom and sleeves bottom, this helps the top turn out super cute!
Yarn and Hook:
For this project I used DK cotton yarn, which is 230m/100g. You can replace it with any yarn which is from 220 to 250m/100g or any yarn that match the gauge.
I used 3.5 mm hook to crochet the whole top, you can replace it with 3.25 mm crochet hook or 3.75 mm crochet hook based on your crochet tension to match the gauge.
