This Lace Top is made in a Vintage style: neat lace for the main part, narrow stripes and wide ruffled lace at bottoms. The crochet pattern for this top is described on 10 pages (1-2 pages are for Title and Crochet abbreviations), there are over 90 pictures of every step.

I have crocheted L size, sizes S and M are precalculated and given, where applicable, in parenthesis.

To crochet the same summertime top, you would need 150-200g of Fingering (14wpi) yarn or, if you would liek to make a larged top - purchase an extra ball of 50g yarn for M and L sizes.

First, you work over the main part, continue with both trims, then - crochet the lace and, finally, the stripes. I put the level as Intermediate, but, please, have a llok at crochet abbreviations and an extract of Pattern (available in Project Photos).
