Sharing is caring!

Seriously, you won’t believe this modern granny stitch crochet top is so simple and perfect for summer.

I am currently obsessed with crocheting everything in a granny stitch pattern. I feel like the moment I learn a new stitch, they become my favorite.

And I want to use these new stitches over and over again to make crochet accessories to the garment. I never get bored.

Easy granny stitch top for summer.

This crochet top pattern is made from 2 basic rectangles the center part of the front panel is made with granny stitch crochet, and the side of the front part is slowly crocheted with a simple stitch until it is wide enough to fit your bust size.

Then in the back panel, just crocheted granny stitch for the entire panel. After that, we will join 2 panels together that all you done.

Now you can see how simple this summer top right? For visual learners, I had a step-by-step video tutorial on youtube for you.

 Yarn for lacy & lightweight tops for summertime.

Cotton yarn: This modern summer crochet top tee is made from 100 % cotton yarn; the cotton fiber is breathable and lightweight, and they don’t absorb heat much like polyester yarn.

Bamboo, linen, and plant fiber yarn: they are also great for hot and humid weather and similar to cotton but more friendly to the environment than cotton yarn.

Crocheting a Front panel.

The middle section with the granny stitch pattern.

Start by bringing your fitting t-shirt and divide it into 3 sections equally.

Then with your 4.0mm hook, start the foundation chain in a multiple of 3+2 until u reach the length of the middle section.

After you get the foundation chain, then make sc in each chain across, turn, and start row 1 of the granny stitch.

Row1: ch2, then make 1dc in the same stitch * skip 2 stitches, then work 3dc in next stitch*   repeat * to * across until end of the row until you will have 3 stitches remain, skip 2 st, 2dc in the last stitch, ch2 turn.

Row2. now you will work 3dc  in each space ( between double crochet groups) across until the end of the row, then dc in the last stitch,  turn.

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you get 17 inches long.

After you finish the middle section, then sc along the edge of the center part for 1 row. Start one side at a time.

Now we are going to the side part of the front panel.

After you sc for 1 row of the edge of the center part, then chain 2 and turn and dc in each stitch across until the end of the row back and forward until u get the length for your bust size.

Repeat the same process to the other side.

After we finished the front panel. Set aside, waiting for assembly.

Crocheting a back panel.

Measurement.

• Of one rectangle.
• 17-18 inches long
• 19 inches wide

Back panel.

Pick up a crochet hook size 4.0 mm and Start off by making a slip knot.

Then make 60+2 chains  (foundation chain a multiple of 3 +2).

The length of the foundation should be nearly matching with the width of the front panel; take it easy; we don’t need to match the width of the front panel exactly.

To be honest, I am off by 1 or 2 inches so, so no worry if it does not perfectly match; the result will be beautiful.

After you get the foundation chain, then make sc in each chain across, turn, and start row 1 of the granny stitch.

Row1: ch2, then make 1dc in the same stitch * skip 2 stitches, then work 3dc in next stitch*   repeat * to * across until end of the row until you will have 3 stitches remain, skip 2 st, 2dc in the last stitch, ch2 turn.

Row2. now you will work 3dc  in each space ( between double crochet groups) across until the end of the row, then dc in the last stitch,  turn.

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you get around 17-18 inches long.

Assembly crochet summer top.

Lay the front panel on top of the back panel and use a yarn needle to sew the side and leave space for the arm hole.

For the shoulder, sew about 3-4 inches.

All done!
