Summer days are a breeze with The Kismet Top, a lightweight and relaxed fit summer crochet top available in sizes XS-5X! This boxy and comfortable top is created from two rectangle panels crocheted in diagonal rows and seamed in the middle to create a distinctive chevron design. The top features V-neck details in the front and back, a ribbed hemline, and gorgeous hand-dyed sport-weight yarn for the ultimate soft and drapey fit. Add this charming and whimsical crochet top to your warm-weather wardrobe!

The PDF pattern has clear instructions and a photo tutorial for every step; the photos are separate from the written instructions so you can choose not to print them to save printer ink.

Gauge is provided but not crucial for this project, as you will be crocheting rows to a specific width and length as indicated.
