New go-to summer (or winter layering!) easy crochet top pattern is ready for your hook! A versatile design that’s as flexible as your creativity! Whether you prefer a gauge-based version or made-to-measure instructions, this top has you covered in sizes from XS to 4XL.

This stylish top has no shoulder seams and can be created in any length you like - from cropped to tunic. You will crochet it in one piece from one side to neckline, then create the neck opening, rejoin stitches at the shoulder and work body in one piece again from the neckline to another side. Then you can either sew side seams using your preferred sewing method or insert tie strings or ribbons through the openings between the stitches along the sides and avoid sewing.

The PDF on 11 pages includes row-by-row written instructions, photos, charts, plus links to helpful videos with all stitches and techniques. Written for gauge based and made to measure versions.

Basic stitches make this top beginner-friendly, however you want to crochet them with confidence.
