A Breezy Make for Warmer Days
Whether you’re heading to the beach, a night out on the town, or simply running errands, this handmade crochet top is super versatile. It will add a touch of effortless style to your everyday wear, but is also elegant enough for special occasions. Its beautiful openwork fabric makes it perfect for layering with basic tank tops.
What You’ll Need – Yarn and Hook
Craft your Ivy Tee using sport weight yarn and a 4.25 mm hook. The sample showcased in photos was made with Lion Brand Beautiful You, but this yarn is no longer available. Instead, you can use Knit Picks Brava Sport or Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6.
How To Crochet the Ivy Tee
With its simple construction, this crochet tee pattern will be an easy make for familiar crocheters. It features a combination of treble crochet and bean stitches, creating a unique boho-inspired texture.
The garment is worked from the bottom up in two panels and seamed up with a mattress stitch. The last step involves crocheting two cup-shaped sleeves.
The pattern includes step-by-step photo aids to walk you through the entire process. You will also find instructions for women’s sizes ranging from XS to 2XL for a flattering fit.
Can I Machine Wash My Finished Top?
If you use cotton yarn, yes! Be sure to check your yarn label for care instructions. After the first wash, make sure to block your top gently. Also, remember to always dry the blouse by laying it flat on the floor or table. This will prevent the fabric from stretching out, helping your top maintain its proper shape.
