This crochet pattern is for a classic sleeveless V neck men’s top. The design features a crochet cable pattern with mesh between. The top is made in two pieces and sewn together at the sides and shoulders.

The instructions include lots of detail to ensure complex shaping is made easy. The pattern includes details for making the five different sizes, small, medium, large, XL, and XXL, and is colour coded to help follow a particular size.

There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate.

I have listed this pattern as “intermediate” because of shaping and being able to read a pattern with multiple sizes.
