Crochet pointed hem topper

Maz Kwok

I’m into the elegant and effortless touches of asymmetrical hem tunic. Those pointed hem tops and tees are often created by stylish cut-out but a very loose and oversized topper also lays flattering handkerchief-hem longer at the sides. That means I can design one easy crochet pattern and here it is xD

Note: I used chainless starting dc/ tr for every first dc/tr of each round/row instead of ch 3/ ch 4. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2/ ch 3, dc/ tr into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc/ tr). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc/ tr into 1st stitch for every first dc/ tr of each round/ row, 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.

Special stitch used: 5dc shell stitch ( 5 dc into same stitch or space )
