So, like I said previously, I’m becoming a little addicted to making Crochet tops. Particularly, super easy, quick to make ones.
I don’t claim to be any sort of designer, but I really appreciate a pattern that allows me to make something simple, quickly (I get disheartened if it takes too long) and enables me to say “thanks, I made it myself” if complimented on it.
For this top I used Corner to Corner crochet. The yarn is 4ply Excelana from John Arbon Textiles. I didn’t realise the mill was based so close to where I live (about 15 minutes away) and when they had an open day a few months ago I bagged myself a few bargains.
As with the Crochet Mesh Top, this top is simply made of two rectangles stitched together at the shoulders and sides to make a top. I didn’t stich the side seams all the way to the bottom of the top just to add a little extra detail.
Rather than trying to crochet in shaping detail around the neckline, I shaped the top during blocking and I think it turned out ok.
The overall pattern definitely needs a bit of work, but I’m really pleased with how this turned out and I’ll definitely be making more.

So beautiful…
Thank you. This might be my favourite make so far.
Nice colour! A girl can never have enough tops 😉
Thanks. And I completely agree!
looks terrific well done! I think you’ve nailed it with shaping the neck using blocking instead 🙂 I’ve been enjoying seeing al the tops you’ve crocheted, I need to decide which one I’d like to try 🙂 jenny xx
Thanks Jenny, I’m glad you like these latest makes. I’m all for taking the easy option when it comes to shaping garments – not sure whether it’s down to impatience or laziness 😀
Very nice, pretty topx
Thank you Michelle. I think it could be may favourite so far!
