Summer Crochet Lace Top

June 15, 2018 · Rhelena · 2 Comments

Enjoy this summer crochet lace top in any size that you want. The pattern is given in four adult sizes from XS to XL, but you can easily modify this to any larger size as well as to children sizes in the multiple provided. The length is also easy to adjust, and you can choose to end with the lace as shown, or with the v-stitches.

In addition to sizing the length and width, you can also modify the shoulder and side seams for a custom-sized neck and armhole openings.

For this pattern I used the mattress stitch seam to create an invisible seam, and I love how it turned out. It’s nice and flat, and you don’t even have to block it after you seam. Just make sure you block before you seam. :)

The crocheted top features a lovely open stitch pattern which makes it great for a beach cover or for wearing over a spaghetti strap top. And it’s a great match for this crochet lace wrap and crochet lace scarf. Alternatively, you might also enjoy this butterfly tank top crochet pattern.
