Crochet V-Neck Top Pattern
How about making a crochet V-neck top for Fall? This project is super easy to customize but, most importantly, a no-sew project that is fun to check the fit as you crochet!
This project has taught me a lot about designing a top-down V-neck crochet top.
I made the first version and planned on releasing the pattern in spring, but I wasn’t happy with the fit, especially on the plus sizes. So, I went back to re-designing this top! A lot of stress, a lot of maths, and, of course, another top went into this finished project.
After this, the new version was tested, because I can not give you something that has not been verified to work!
Oh, the new version is amazing. I love all of my tester’s versions! Indeed, these ladies went all out to ensure this top is perfect.
Variations of this crochet V-neck top pattern
As usual, I couldn’t resist adding a twist. This time, I added bell sleeves. Choices: you can decide to fo with the short sleeves or the long sleeves with bell sleeve version!
