About

This piece was named after my grandmother Lois, who taught me how to crochet. I wanted to use a lacey stitch that is both elegant and fun, and the arrowhead stitch does just that! The result is a top that is as enjoyable to make as it is to wear.

The Lois Top was designed to be a layering piece for warmer weather. Think of it as something special to add to a summer outfit. Wear over a sundress or a tank top, and enjoy!
