Petal Wave Top is a light and modern summer crochet top featuring an airy mesh body and a decorative two-colour wave-inspired border.

Designed with a relaxed, easy-to-wear silhouette, it can be styled casually with shorts or trousers, or dressed up with a flowing skirt for a more elegant summer look.

The body is worked from the bottom up.
Although the construction includes shaping, the stitches themselves are simple. If you are comfortable with basic crochet stitches and following written instructions or charts, this is a very approachable garment project.

A full video tutorial is also available to guide you through the construction and techniques used in the pattern.
