CROCHET SUMMER TOP PATTERN FOR SIZES XS-5X! Summer days are a breeze with The Clarity Top, a lightweight and relaxed fit summer crochet top available in sizes XS-5X! This boxy and comfortable top features a scooped neckline and a high-low ribbed hem for a versatile and fashionable addition to your summer wardrobe. Using a cotton blend sport-weight yarn for the ultimate soft and drapey fit, this beginner-friendly project is easy to crochet and perfect for summer!

This easy crochet design works up fast with basic stitches. For both front and back panels, ribbing for the hemline is worked first and then turned so that the first row is worked into the ends of the ribbing rows. The front panel is shaped at the neckline for a comfortable and easy fit and the panels are seamed together at the shoulders and down the sides from the armholes. Ribbing for the sleeve cuffs is worked separately to match the hemline and is seamed onto the armholes. The top is finished with a lovely simple collar.

The Clarity Top has 7 inches of positive ease for generous sizing and with this in mind, I made the size large as my sample for an extra comfy fit; it looks great with jeans! Nine sizing options give you the option to customize your fit and select the size that fits either your measurements or the fit that you want. Get started today on this breezy comfy summer top!
