This unique, Tunisian crochet top features a flattering, V neckline, fun side slits, and a beautiful, open upper back. It’s filled with classic, knit-like texture (created from alternating beginner stitches) and has perfectly shaped armholes so there’s no awkward, bulging fabric! Plus, like most of my designs, no undershirt is required!

As always, the pattern is size-inclusive, includes easy to follow, row by row, color coded instructions, and has helpful diagrams, so there’s no confusion.
