If you've ever scrolled past a crochet top and thought "that's way beyond me," I want you to meet the Flutter Ruffle Sleeve Crochet Top. Because those ruffles? Easier than they look. Way easier.
It starts with one panel
The entire body of this top is worked as a single panel. You crochet from the bottom up, leave an opening for the neckline as you go, then continue down the other side. No complicated shaping, no confusing construction. Just rows of double crochet until it's the length you want.
Because it's made to measure, you decide every measurement yourself: the width, the length, the neckline. The pattern walks you through each step so nothing is left to guessing.
Now about those ruffles
The sleeves are where this top really comes to life. You pick up stitches along the armhole opening and work a simple lace stitch that creates the most beautiful, flowy ruffle. It's airy, it's light, and it looks like it took forever, but it didn't.
The stitch is a combination of single crochets, double crochets and chain stitches that any beginner can follow, especially with the full video tutorial walking you through every row.
Your next summer project
Made in Friends Cotton 8/4 in Eucalyptus, this top is lightweight and breathable. Exactly what you want for warmer days. Wear it over a camisole, tuck it into high-waisted pants, or throw it over a swimsuit. The airy lace sleeves keep it feeling cool while still looking put together.
It's the kind of piece you'll reach for all summer, and the kind of pattern you'll want to make in every color.
The full written pattern and video tutorial are available in my shop.
