This pattern is available from etsy.com for $4.00.

Classical sleeveless Malva top is designed for an everyday look. The main pattern is combined of dc sts and chains, more solid at top.

The lace at bottom is very airy, lightweight and has small picots at the edges.
To make this top you need Fingering (14wpi or 4ply) lace yarn or Lace (1ply, used in 2 strands).

Along with the WRITTEN PATTERN, I have updated it with CHARTS for main lace pattern, side decreases of back part pattern, finishing of top and chart for the bottom lace.

To crochet the same summer sleveless top, you would need 150-400g of yarn.

At first, you make cups, main part and bottom lace. Afterwards, you complete the back part and finish the top with daintly picots around.

Level: Advanced (I put this level because of short rows at bottom lace).

S. Bust 31”/75 cm. Width: 15”/38 cm.

M. Bust 33”/86 cm. Width: 16.5”/41 cm.
