A charming vintage crocheted shell stitch top worked in Unger’s Duet, a soft yarn designed to create a feminine, textured fabric. The pattern combines shell and V-stitch patterns with shaped armholes, neckline, and finishing details for a classic vintage garment.

The design includes a softly gathered ruffle around the neckline and armholes, giving the finished piece a distinctly feminine 1970s look.

Finished Width at Underarm: 32 (35¾, 39) in. (81.3, 90.2, 99 cm)
Stitches Used: Chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet

The pattern includes instructions for the back, front, finishing, neck and armhole edgings, lower edging, and ruffle, with shaping adjustments provided for the three sizes.
