The breezy and oversized top is my fondness on warmer days. So, I designed a batwing top with lacy pineapple stitches to pair with skinny jeans or leggings. This crochet batwing top is developed from the Lacy Love dress that has been hearted by many crochet lovers.

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the 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 🙂

Special stitches used: 

3dc- V stitch: ( 3dc, ch2, 3dc ) into same stitch or space.

This crochet Lacy Love batwing top pattern fits size L ( chest size: 36 to 38 inches )

Skill level: Experienced

Gauge: 12 double crochet stitches x 5 rows approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
