It is the perfect crochet top to go with a skirt or your favorite pair of denim jeans! So whatever the occasion, this top pattern is perfect!

How it’s Made

This easy crochet pattern is worked in two rectangles, which are joined together at the shoulders and sides. The simple construction makes it super easy to customize the sizes for the neck and arm openings.

The stitch pattern is perfect for beginners who are comfortable with seaming and constructing a top.

The only stitches used are the double crochet and the half double crochet with chain stitches. Then single crochet stitches for the edging.

For the seam, I like to use the mattress stitch, which keeps things nice and flat for you.

As for the shoulder seam, you have the option to sew all the way across, or leave a bit of an opening. The opening is perfect if you plan on wearing this top with a skirt or another dressy outfit.

Finished Sizes

The free pattern includes women’s sizes from XS to XL. However, it can easily be customized to fit any size in the multiple provided.

The pattern has an ease of 6 inches, but you can modify that as well if you like.

The Yarn

I used Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn with a 3.5 mm crochet hook. The label does not specify the yarn weight, but it is a fine #2. It is a soft cotton/acrylic blend, and is very nice to work with.

Blocking

Block both pieces to measurements in schematic. To block, simply wet the pieces and lay them flat to dry.

Shoulder Seams

Sew seams 3.5, (4, 4.5, 5.25, 6)" on each side.
Another option is to sew about .75, (1, 1, 1.25, 1.5)" starting along the outer edge. Then leave about 2, (2, 2.5, 2.75, 3" open before sewing the remaining .75, (1, 1, 1.25, 1.5)" of the shoulder seam.

Side Seams

Starting at the bottom with the tail end, sew seams along the sides leaving an 8, (8.5, 9 , 9.5, 10)" opening for the armhole.
If you have wide hips, and need more room around the hip area, you can leave a slit open, thus starting your seam a few inches up from the bottom.

Edging for Armhole Openings

With a standing single crochet, join yarn to the bottom of the armhole seam and single crochet evenly around; join with a slip stitch in the first single crochet. FO.
You can also add the edging around the neck opening and the bottom if you like.
