The Starlit Night Top is a classy, flirtatious and lightweight summer top that suits all shapes and sizes. Made with simple rectangles and customised for your bust size and to whatever length you like. The pattern is also written in ‘standard sizes’ if you are making it for someone else. The top has been designed so that you can wear it with or without a bra, it has complete coverage for either option.
.
Delicate filet crochet sleeves give the top a summer evening vibe and the boxy shape makes it casual and easy to wear over jeans or a skirt, dressing it up or wearing it casual.
.
Totally beginner friendly, easy crochet in both the construction and stitches.
.
I made mine with ‘Eden Cottage Yarns Milburn 4ply which is glorious drapey wool/silk mix (90% Pure wool and 10% Silk). A light 4 Ply substitute in a wool/silk mix, soft cotton or bamboo would be perfect. Between 520m and 2012m.
.
You’ll need basic crochet skills and a 3.50mm hook.
