The Muse Top is a breezy, modern crochet top featuring a bold off-the-shoulder silhouette and soft ruffled drape. Designed with a square neckline, anchored by thick straps, it highlights the shoulders while keeping the fit relaxed and wearable. The sleeves fall lightly off the arms with a subtle bell shape, adding movement and texture.

Worked top-down in simple stitches, the pattern allows you to customize the body length, sleeve length, and fit of the neckline and shoulders. Its airy, slightly oversized fit makes it perfect for layering or summer styling.

Notes
  • This pattern includes a full video tutorial designed to clarify any techniques or steps that are better demonstrated visually than explained in writing.
  • This top is worked top-down. You will begin the shoulders by joining and working in spiral rounds. After adding the ruffle, you’ll separate the body and sleeves, then continue crocheting the body (also in spiral rounds). Once the body is finished, you’ll make the straps and complete the sleeves.
  • The pattern includes instructions for adjusting the length and customizing the fit to suit your style.
  • To choose your size, measure your shoulder circumference — the top should be about 10 cm larger than this measurement. Then measure your upper arm circumference — the sleeve should match or preferably be a few cm larger than your arm measurement.
