Dress like a true boho queen with this beautiful crochet summer cover-up by Abigail Ellazar. Made up of lacy squares, it’s both chic and airy. The cropped cut and deep V-neck make this long-sleeved top modern and feminine, while the openwork squares with sunflower motifs lend it a vintage bohemian touch.
What Yarn Weight Works for This Boho Top Pattern?
To make this crochet boho top, you need DK-weight yarn, preferably cotton or bamboo. The designer of this pattern recommends using Lion Brand Yarn’s Coboo. It’s a light yarn made 51% from cotton and 49% from bamboo. This way, the fabric of this handmade top is flowy, cool to the touch, and eco-friendly.
How Do I Crochet the Summer Boho Coverup?
The garment is built from full squares and half-squares. The number of pieces needed to complete it depends on your size. You work each square in 6 rounds using a lace stitch pattern. Once all motifs are ready, you seam them together following the construction guide provided by the designer.
How Many Sizes Are Available?
The pattern includes instructions for sizes XS/S, M, and L/XL. You can also adjust your top yourself by using a different number of squares or replacing full squares with half-squares. The top has a flattering, slightly oversized fit and the deep V-neck allows for a cute off-shoulder look.
