The Stripes and Lace Beginner Crochet Top is designed to be loose and oversized.  It uses a gorgeous stitch that gives it a beautiful drape and an airy design. We incorporated a contrasting stripe and used the same colour to edge the sleeves.  This easy crochet top would also look great in a solid colour too. 

The neckline is wide and flattering and can be customized so that it sits off the shoulder or on the shoulder. You can also customize the fit and the sleeve length and width as we write made to measure patterns.

We have always loved working with beautiful, fine, cotton yarn in the summer.  Sometimes it’s assumed that finer yarn is harder to work with for beginners. We haven’t found this to be the case. But a good quality cotton yarn that slips easily on and off your (smaller) hook is not necessarily harder than a worsted weight yarn.

The Stripes and Lace Beginner Crochet Top is a free and easy crochet pattern available as a size inclusive made to measure pattern. It is beginner friendly and uses weight 2/sport yarn. The stitch pattern is simple using primarily double crochets.
