This casual and feminine everyday top worked in DK cotton yarn is great for summer and layering all year round! A delicate lace pattern which primarily uses the simplest crochet stitches: single crochet, double crochet, and chain makes it a quick and simple crochet project.

The top can be worn with shoulder coverage or off-the-shoulder thanks to the wide bateau neckline made in stretchy ribbing.
