What Stitches Are Used In This Top Pattern?
This crochet summer top pattern uses basic stitches and some special techniques. It’s made from two identical panels that you work with half double crochet stitches in the front loops. The mesh sections are done using dropped loop stitches. This unique technique requires a wooden dowel or knitting needle to create loops of yarn.
How to Ensure the Perfect Fit for My Top?
The pattern includes instructions for several sizes so everyone can create a handmade top that fits them perfectly. Just be sure to measure your body first and then compare it with the sizing table provided on the deinger blog. The top pattern is available in sizes ranging from XS to 3X.

What Yarn and Hook Do I Need?
Depending on the garment size, prepare from 2 to 5 skeins of The Fibre Co. Cumbria Fingering yarn. It’s a good quality blend of wool and mohair in a lovely turquoise (Windermere) color. If you prefer cotton, choose WeCrochet’s Shine Sport or Simply Organic Cotton instead. The pattern also calls for a 5 mm crochet hook.
