Traveller Top is an intermediate crochet pattern inspired by train journeys, portable projects, and the comforting rhythm of crochet on the go.

Worked side-to-side in textured rows using third loop half double crochet stitches, this design creates a subtle striped texture reminiscent of train tracks - the inspiration behind the name.

This relaxed-fit button-front top can be made with intentional colour choices or as a beautiful stash-busting scrap yarn project, making every version completely unique.

This pattern is ideal for adventurous beginners looking to expand their skills, as well as experienced crocheters who enjoy textured garment construction and thoughtful shaping.
