Petal Wave Top - Crochet Pattern

Summer Crochet Top | XS–3XL | US & UK Terms
 
Create your own Petal Wave Top, a lightweight summer crochet top combining an airy mesh fabric with a distinctive decorative petal-inspired border.
Designed with a gently shaped A-line silhouette, the top is worked from the bottom up, beginning with the body worked in the round before dividing for the Front and Back. Carefully shaped armholes, neckline and shoulders create a comfortable, flattering fit, while the contrasting Petal Wave border adds the feature detail that makes this design stand out.
The pattern includes individual Front and Back shaping instructions and charts for every size from XS to 3XL, so you can follow the shaping specifically for your chosen size.
 
Skill Level: Adventurous Beginner / Intermediate
The main mesh pattern uses simple crochet stitches, including chains, single crochet (US), double crochet (UK) and slip stitches. The pattern progresses to A-line decreases, armhole, neckline and shoulder shaping, working in the round and in rows, and following size-specific shaping charts, making it suitable for an intermediate crocheter.
An adventurous beginner who is comfortable with the basic stitches and following a written pattern can also make this top, with the step-by-step video tutorial providing additional guidance through the construction, shaping and finishing.

CONSTRUCTION
The top is worked from the bottom up. The main body is crocheted in the round in an airy mesh pattern with gradual decreases creating the A-line shaping.
At the armholes, the garment is divided and the Front and Back are worked separately. Each size has its own shaping instructions and charts for the armholes, neckline and shoulders.
The neckline and armholes are finished with a contrasting edging, and the decorative Petal Wave border is added to the lower edge at the end.
