Aurelia Sequin Crochet Top for Every Body

Some patterns start with a stitch. This one started with a feeling, the feeling of putting on something that looks like it cost far more than it did. The Aurelia Sequin Crochet Top is that type of top that gives that look.

Pin this post for later.

Introducing The Aurelia Crochet Collection, a stunning set of modern crochet garments designed to turn heads. This elegant collection combines beautiful texture with wearable silhouettes, creating pieces you’ll want to make and wear again and again.

The Aurelia Sequin Top is the first wearable release from the Aurelia Collection, and it might be my favourite thing I’ve designed this year. Gold sequins. A clean V-neck silhouette. Structured enough to wear out, relaxed enough to style back with jeans — as you can see from the photos.

The construction is more accessible than it looks. Regular DK weight yarn is held together with a sequin thread throughout; the technique is beginner friendly, as it is a NO-SEW TOP!

To celebrate the launch, the top is 20% off for the next 72 hours! Use code “Aurelia” at checkout.

The pattern is available in 9 sizes, and the PDF is on both Ravelry and Etsy.

Sequin Crochet Top Construction Notes

1. This project is made in sections, starting from the shoulder straps.
2. The top is made without sewing, starting from the shoulder and then downwards. Two parts are needed, which are then joined together.
3. You then continue in rounds until your piece gets to your desired length.

Picking a size:

Use your bust measurement. You can adjust the increase for the hip measurement.
