V-Stitch Crochet Top Pattern

July 20, 2018 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

The V-Stitch Crochet Top pattern is available in women’s sizes from XS to XL. However, a stitch multiple is provided to help you adjust this design to any size you need. You could easily increase for an over-sized beach cover-up. Or, increase the length for a nice breezy summery dress. Along with a waist belt of your choosing you could wear it to any summer occasion from the beach to a wedding.

Since this stitch pattern is so easy to adjust in size, you can basically use any yarn and hook size that you have on hand. However, I do recommend that you use a cotton or cotton blend to help keep you cool in the summer weather. And the thinner the yarn, the more details you’ll have in the finished project.

The cotton yarn along with the openness of the v stitch, makes it perfect for summer weather. It’s nice when worn over a spaghetti strap, but wear it any way that you like.

The stitch pattern is the same as this dishcloth pattern. But it’s worked in a finer yarn, so it turned out a lot prettier.

V-Stitch Crochet Top Pattern

The crochet top is a simple and mindless pattern allowing you to relax and crochet while watching T.V. or while hanging out at the beach. It’s the v-stitch pattern; one row is done with the half double v stitch and the other is done in the double crochet v stitch.

Not only is the stitch pattern easy to remember, but it also gives you a nice stretchy fabric in both directions, which makes for a super comfortable garment.
