A functional and cute crochet top that can be made to wear in any season! The Moonlit Meadow Top can be made with ANY yarn, comes with directions for short AND long sleeves, and has options for two different necklines. The lovely open and lacy texture gives the piece a beautiful drape and works up so fast you’ll be wanting to make another!

Get creative with stripes! The four row repeat lends itself well to different striping patterns! Check out my purple and white version, as well as the tester photos for striping inspiration! You can change colors every four rows, every row, or choose one row to make a different color throughout for a striping pattern that fits your style! The possibilities are endless!

MADE TO MEASURE: The Moonlit Meadow Top is a made-to-measure crochet pattern. Please note there are not specific stitch counts included, you will take some easy measurements to determine your stitch count. All of the directions are included in the pattern! Easily customize the length, width, and sleeve length for YOUR perfect top! Easily make it in ANY size, including kids sizes!

ADVANCED-BEGINNER FRIENDLY: You will need to know the basics of crochet as this pattern does not teach you specific stitches. There is a quick video tutorial for a non-standard stitch, a Cross DC, that is used within the pattern, but this is just two Double Crochets! Other stitches included are the Foundation Half Double Crochet, Double Crochet, Half Double Crochet, and Chain stitch. There are many great tutorials online that cover all of the stitches included, so I do encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and learn something new!

STEP-BY-STEP PHOTOS INCLUDED: Each step through the pattern includes pictures along with step-by-step diagrams and stitch graphs, so that you can always feel confident in locations of stitches and how things should look as you work. I also include little hints and tips throughout for more ‘advanced’ steps so there is no guess work. Photos and diagrams for adding on the front panels, sleeves, and borders are included for BOTH Right-handed and Left-handed crocheters!

CONSTRUCTION: The Moonlit Meadow Top is made top-down. You will make your full back panel, then attach yarn along the FHDC to make the front panels, next, you will add the sleeves at the sides. Next, you’ll fold the piece and seam along the sides and sleeves. Finishing with a border and the tie. There are diagrams that outline each step here and lots of pictures and descriptions to help!
