Go for a cute, feminine summer look with the Magnolia Sweetheart Top crochet pattern by Grace Forthefrills! Featuring a short-sleeve design and a charming heart-shaped neck, it’s both comfy and elegant. The center front tie detail creates a lovely ruched effect that accentuates the neckline beautifully.
Supplies Checklist for a Smooth Crochet Experience
For this summer project, 100% cotton yarns make a fantastic choice as they will ensure a comfortable and breathable feel, perfect for warm weather.
The pattern calls for DK yarn such as Paintbox Yarns Cotton, but you can also use any other yarn you like. Just make sure it has the same weight and meets the required gauge. Four skeins will be enough to crochet a small-sized top.
You will also need a 4 mm crochet hook to complete it.
Techniques Used in the Magnolia Top Pattern
The Magnolia Sweetheart Top is an easy garment project with no frills attached! It includes basic stitches only, like chains, single crochets, and double crochets. It also features a simple construction method and requires minimal shaping.
If you’ve been looking for a quick and relaxing pattern that you could complete while binge-watching your TV show, then well… you’ve found it!

Fit and Size Adjustments
Available in sizes XS to 3XL, this crochet top pattern provides customization options for a range of body types. Additionally, since the garment is worked from the top down, you can easily adjust the length to create a cropped top or a full-length tee.
The sweetheart neckline can be modified, too. It’s up to you how deep you want to go by simply tugging the ties. The harder you pull, the more visible the ruching will be, giving it that classic t-shirt look. If you leave the ties loose, the neckline will be shallower, resulting in an off-the-shoulder style.
