The Dahlia Top was a project that just seemed to come right off of my hook exactly how I intended from the first try. That isn’t something that happens often in pattern design. The hardest part of creating this top was finding a name that suit her perfectly. In doing some research I came across ‘Dahlia’ as a name and instantly fell in love. Dahlia’s are elegant and stunning flowers. As a girl’s name Dahlia is said to mean ‘Inspirational’ which I believe is a great description for this top.

This top is simple and elegant but has a lot of little design features that I believe it will continue to inspire myself and others who make one.

Dahlia is a more form fitting top, and super flattering!

PDF includes a stitch chart and sizing chart to assist you in making a more customized fit!

There is also a stitch diagram and assembly diagram included if you are a visual crocheter!

I made my Dahlia Top in Lion Brand Jeans Yarn in the color Faded.
