In Super Simple Summer Tops from Leisure Arts, popular styles and breezy lace combine with cotton and other soft yarns to create a wonderful warm-weather crochet wardrobe. Easy stitches and simple shapes create a beautiful variety of neck lines, sleeve styles (including sleeveless), and yarn weights (fine, light, and medium).

Designs by Melissa Leapman include Lace-Trim V-Neck, Enchanting Empire, Ombre Tee, Chic Tank, Belle Tunic, and Sweet Boho Top. Each pattern is written for six sizes, from Small (finished chest measurement of 35 inches 89 cm) to 3X (54.75 inches 139 cm).

The Ombre Tee is worked by holding two strands together. This is what gives it the unique stripes.
The pattern states that you can use any #3 weight yarn for this pattern although at the end of the booklet it is stated that Paton’s North American Grace was used for this example.
