Simple Step-by-Step Instructions
The construction of this top is simple yet effective. Both the front and back panels are worked separately and feature an A-line shape that drapes beautifully on the body.
The gentle flare offers a flattering silhouette for all sizes. The panels also include easy armhole shaping, and the front panel has a clean neck opening for comfort and ease of wear. This design is ideal for confident beginners ready to explore garment construction.
After completing the front and back panels, they’re sewn together to form the main structure of the top. Next, the elegant lace edging is added in the round along the neckline and bottom hem.
These delicate details add a refined finish to the otherwise simple shape. The final step involves picking up stitches around each armhole and working the wide, airy lace sleeves in the round—giving the top its signature breezy look.
With its straightforward construction and graceful styling, this crochet gust of summer top is a satisfying project with impressive results.
The easy lace details, size range, and flattering fit make it a go-to pattern whether you’re crafting for yourself or making a handmade gift. If you’re ready to create a lightweight, stylish crochet top that looks and feels amazing, this pattern is the perfect place to start.
