Oversized tops and tees are versatile and very easy to wear with great comfort. How about a lacy oversized crocheted top xD
Click here to <3 this pattern on Ravelry
Materials: ( I used )
5 mm crochet hook
Light weight/ DK yarn: magenta ( about 200 gr for the sample – size L/ 50 gr or 109 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/round instead of ch3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/round, so just choose your best technique 🙂
This crochet pattern is done by 2 identical front and back parts, seam to join shoulder and body lines.

3dc – V stitch: ( 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc ) into same stitch or space

Thank you 🙂
Hi. On the Guage, is that just for the length, or is it for the height as well?
Hi,
It’s for the length.
Are the front and back two rectangular pieces or is there shaping at the neck? I am a beginner and am weary of shaping. I love this top and hope it is something I can tackle. Fingers crossed!
Yes, this top is made by 2 rectangular pieces.
Thank you for answering my question
I have three 100g balls of Rosarios 4 Bio Bamboo, 175m or 191yds, it knits up on 4 and a half or 5 needles. Could you tell me if this is suitable for your pattern, and if so then how many balls I might need. Also is your pattern American or European, do I need to change sc to dc and dc to tr? Thanks
Hi Mary, 3 skeins of 100 gr are enough for size L / XL. I use US crochet term in my patterns. Here’s a conversion chart if you want UK crochet term: http://www.simplycrochetmag.co.uk/2013/07/04/uk-and-us-crochet-conversion-chart/
Would love to know the substitue for the tape yarn. Would a size 3 thread work or a sock yarn? I’m new at this and don’t know how to do the substitues.
I would suggest light weight/ DK yarn to get the similar gauge 🙂
I am not familiar with tape yarn. What is this please??
They’re also called ribbon or ladder yarn. You can check out some here: http://beacrafter.yarnshopping.com/ribbon—ladder-yarns
Beautiful!
Please notify me on up coming…. Thanks have a great day
Hi Melinda,
You’re welcome to follow me via my social media channels 🙂
Is there a possible yarn substitution? I have no access to any tape yarn and the only ribbon yarn I could possibly get would be like Red Heart Boutique…or bulky/super bulky weight. Could this work in a cotton yarn?
Yes, you can use any type of soft and light weight yarn for this pattern. Make sure your gauge is similar to get the size you want 🙂
Okay great! Thank you for your time….
Great pattern…thank you. I do have a question though. What type of yarn did you use? What is tape yarn???? Thanks
Hi,
It’s also called ribbon yarn 🙂
