This crochet top pattern is a beginner-friendly PDF that helps you make a breezy, flattering summer top in any size. Instead of following a fixed size chart that runs large, you use one simple bust measurement and a clear formula to crochet your exact fit — including armholes shaped to your body. If you’ve ever finished a crochet top only to find it too baggy, this pattern was written for you.
The Modern V-Stitch Top is worked in an airy V-stitch lace with a soft raised ridge down each panel for a modern, sculptural finish. It’s light, drapey, and made for warm weather — perfect layered over a bralette, swimsuit, or with high-waisted denim.
