Want to crochet a lace top for spring and summer?  Here’s the free crochet pattern you’re looking for!  This plus size inclusive women’s lace tee is crocheted in a floral lace stitch with no shaping.  Crochet your own with this free crochet top pattern and video tutorial.

Summer crochet projects are some of my favorite things to make.  I’ve always lived in warm climates, and although there are some times of the year that I can wear cozy sweaters, hats, and scarves, most of the time, I’m looking for lightweight, warm-weather crochet tops that I can throw on with a pair of shorts.

The Daisy Tee is perfect for your spring and summer wardrobe for so many reasons.  Not only is it lightweight and comfy, but the lace crochet stitch pattern makes it cute, feminine and breathable.

When I designed this top, I knew I wanted it to be simple and boxy, with lovely drape, and in a floral lace stitch pattern.  It’s really important with summer projects to choose a smooth yarn with very little fuzz to it, so I opted for WeCrochet Hawthorne Fingering Kettle Dye.  (Thanks to WeCrochet for providing the yarn for this pattern!)

Hawthorne is smooth and sturdy with high twist, and not fuzzy at all.  It comes in over 20 hand-dyed tonal colorways, and best of all, is machine washable.

But just because it’s primarily made from superwash wool doesn’t mean it’s only for winter!  Wool is a temperature-regulating fiber, so it helps keep you warm in the winter, but it can also keep you cool in the summer if it’s made into a lightweight fabric.

How do you Crochet a Ladies Summer Top?

There are many ways to crochet a top, but the Daisy Tee is made with a pretty simple boxy construction method.  The front panel and back panel are exactly the same, and each is a modified rectangle.

We start at the bottom edge, crochet our lace stitch pattern up to the base of the T-shaped sleeve, and then add width to the upper portion of the rectangle for the sleeves.  We then continue in our lace stitch pattern to finish off the upper portion of the tee. Once both the front and back pieces are crocheted, we block them and sew a few simple seams to join them together.

(You could adapt this pattern to make crochet tank tops by just continuing to work the lace crochet pattern without adding width for the sleeves.  It would make just a rectangle, which you could seam together just like in this pattern for a sleeveless top instead of a short sleeve top.)

The Daisy Tee comes in two different lengths, so you can choose the look you want.  There’s a full length version, as well as a slightly cropped version.  (The cropped version is not as short as a typical crochet crop top, but it is designed to fall a few inches below the waist.)  The cropped version in size XS is shown in the photos on a petite model.

How to Choose the Best Yarn for Women’s Crochet Summer Tops

The most important thing to look for when picking yarn for a crochet lace top is no fuzz.  Fuzziness in a yarn helps to trap body heat, and makes the finished garment less breathable.  This is great when you’re making something that should keep you warm, but not for anything you would wear on hot summer days!

For the Daisy Tee, you’ll need a #1 Superfine yarn with little to no surface fuzz.  I like to use easy care, machine washable yarns for garment projects, and WeCrochet Hawthorne is a great choice.  But if you want to substitute a different yarn, here’s what to look for…

The yarn should say #1 Superfine / Fingering Weight on the label.  It should also be smooth and low-fuzz, and soft enough to be worn against the skin.  One quick way to test if a yarn is soft enough is to rub it on the side of your neck.  If it doesn’t feel scratchy or irritating, the yarn is soft enough for a garment project.

As for fiber content, linen, bamboo, or cotton yarn will work well for this project.  Superfine yarns are lightweight yarns, so as long as the yarn is soft and not fuzzy, it will likely work well for summer season garments.

You can use a Size 3 crochet thread if you like, as Size 3 thread is in the #1 Superfine category in the yarn weight system.

Be sure to purchase enough skeins of the yarn you want to use so that you have at least the total number of yards required in the pattern for the size you are making.

How do I Choose a Size?

The Daisy Tee crochet pattern is plus size inclusive, and includes 9 sizes, from a women’s Extra Small to a 5X.  (Pattern is written for XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL.)  To decide which size you want to make, you’ll need to measure around the fullest part of the bust.  Then, follow the instructions in the “Sizing” section of the pattern to select the size according to the wearer’s bust measurement.

You’ll also need to choose which length you prefer.  The pattern includes instructions for both a full length version and a cropped version.  The cropped version is shown in the photos on a petite model.  I recommend measuring the finished back length of the tee against the wearer to get an idea of how the length of the tee will fall.  Once you’ve chosen which length you want, follow the instructions and yarn requirements for that length option.

What Skill Levels Can Crochet the Daisy Tee?

The Daisy Tee involves very little shaping, as it is made from modified rectangles.  However, it is made in a lace stitch pattern, so you’ll need to know how to read and follow written crochet pattern instructions.  If you like crochet symbol charts, you’ll definitely want to grab the premium PDF version of the pattern, which includes a chart for the lace stitch pattern.

The lace stitch pattern uses mostly double crochet stitches with some chains and single crochet stitches.  Confident beginners who are comfortable with pattern reading may be able to follow this top crochet pattern, as the lace is only made up of basic crochet stitches.

For this project, you’ll need to know how to count stitches and rows, how to work into chain spaces, skip stitches, and “read” your crochet fabric.  If you are familiar with those techniques, you can make this project!

Special Stitches

Foundation Double Crochet (video tutorial here)

To begin, chain 3. Yarn over, insert hook into the 3rd chain from the hook. Yarn over, pull up a loop. Yarn over, pull through one loop on hook. Yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook. Yarn over, pull through 2 remaining loops on hook.

For all following stitches: Turn work upside-down so the bottom (foundation) edge is facing you. On the bottom of the previous stitch, there is what looks like the top of a normal crochet stitch (the chain from the previous stitch). Yarn over and insert hook into both strands of that “stitch”. Yarn over, pull up a loop. Yarn over, pull through one loop on hook (chain made). Yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook. Yarn over, pull through 2 remaining loops on hook.

Chainless Starting Single Crochet: (video tutorial here)

Stretch loop on hook slightly. Insert hook in the same stitch the loop is coming from. Yarn over, pull up a loop. Yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook.

Chainless Starting Double Crochet: (video tutorial here)

Stretch loop on hook until it is slightly longer than a regular double crochet. Holding the top of the loop still with your finger, yarn over with the stretched loop on your hook (not the working yarn) 1 time. Insert the hook into the same stitch the loop is coming from. Yarn over, pull up a loop of yarn. (Yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook) 2 times.

Daisy Tee Instructions

Notes:

This tee is made in two pieces, one for the front and one for the back.  Each piece is crocheted from the bottom up.  When we reach the base of the armhole, we will add width for the sleeves.  We will then continue working in our stitch pattern until we have finished the panel.  The front and back panels will be seamed together to finish the tee.

This pattern begins with a row of foundation double crochet instead of a foundation chain. The foundation double crochet is simple to work, and makes the foundation chain and the first row of double crochet at the same time. The foundation edge, when worked in this way, has much more stretch and flexibility than a regular foundation chain. I highly recommend using the foundation double crochet to begin your panel, but instructions for a regular foundation chain and row of double crochet are also included.

Each chain counts as a stitch, unless otherwise noted at the end of the row.

Front / Back (make 2)

Begin by leaving a tail at least 1 yard long for seaming.

Row 1: Ch 3, fdc in 3rd ch from hook.  Work 97 (111, 125, 139, 139, 153, 167, 181, 195) more fdc.

OR

Row 1: Ch 100 (114, 128, 142, 142, 156, 170, 184, 198).  Sk 2 chs, dc in 3rd ch from hook and in ea ch st across.

Row 2: Turn.  CSDC in same st.  Dc in nxt 5 sts.  *Ch 3, sk 2, dc in nxt 12 sts.*  Repeat from *to* until 8 sts remain.  Ch 3, sk 2, dc in nxt 6 sts.  <105 (120, 135, 150, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210) sts, including ch sts.>

Note: This is the first row in the stitch pattern.  When you work Row 2 for the first time, it is worked into a row of plain double crochet.  However, when you are instructed to repeat Row 2 in the instructions that follow after Row 11, all of the remaining times you repeat Row 2, it will be worked across Row 11, which has some ch-2 spaces in it.  So when you are repeating Row 2, and the pattern says to “dc in nxt 12 sts”, you will be working across a span of stitches that includes a ch-2 space.  You can either double crochet in each individual chain stitch of the ch-2 space, or you can work 2 dc in the ch-2 space.  It’s up to you. 😉

Row 3: Turn.  CSDC in same st, dc in nxt 3 sts.  *Ch 3, sk 2 dc, sc in nxt ch-sp, ch 3, sk 2 dc, dc in nxt 8 sts.*  Repeat from *to* until 11 sts remain.  Ch 3, sk 2 dc, sc in nxt ch-sp, ch 3, sk 2 dc, dc in nxt 4 sts.  <105 (120, 135, 150, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210) sts, including ch sts.>

Row 5: Turn.  CSDC in same st, dc in nxt st.  *2 dc in nxt ch-sp, ch 3, sk nxt sc, sc in nxt ch-sp, ch 3, sk nxt sc, 2 dc in nxt ch-sp, dc in nxt 4 sts.*  Repeat from *to* until 13 sts remain.  2 dc in nxt ch-sp, ch 3, sk nxt sc, sc in nxt ch-sp, ch 3, sk nxt sc, 2 dc in nxt ch-sp, dc in last 2 sts.  <105 (120, 135, 150, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210) sts, including ch sts.>

To Block: (video tutorial here)

For natural fibers, pin project out on foam blocking mats. Spray with water until fully saturated, allow to dry.

OR

For acrylic fibers, pin project out on an ironing board or several layers of towels. Hold a steaming iron 2-3” over the surface of the fabric, making sure all of the fabric is penetrated by the steam. Allow to cool / dry.

Block to Approximate Finished Measurements:

Width at foundation edge: 17.8 (20.4, 23, 25.5, 25.5, 28, 30.5, 33, 35.6) inches OR 45 (52, 58.5, 64.5, 64.5, 71, 77.5, 84, 90.5) cm.

Width at top edge: 28 (30.5, 33, 35.6, 35.6, 38, 40.7, 43.3, 45.8) inches OR 71 (77.5, 84, 90.5, 90.5, 96.5, 103.5, 110, 116) cm.

Length from foundation edge to top edge: 16.8 (16.8, 18.5, 18.5, 18.5, 18.5, 18.5, 20.4, 20.4)” OR 42.5 (42.5, 47, 47, 47, 47, 47, 52, 52) cm for cropped version, 20.4 (20.4, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 24, 24)” OR 52 (52, 56, 56, 56, 56, 56, 61, 61) cm for full-length version.

Assembly:

Lay your front and back pieces out in front of you, with the wrong sides together, making sure both foundation edges are at the bottom.

Side Seams:

Thread one of the long yarn tails from the bottom corner of the piece through your yarn needle, and whip stitch the front and back of one side of the tee together at the side seam.  When you reach the top of the side edge, continue whip stitching the horizontal edges of the sleeve from both the front and the back together.  Tie off, weave in the yarn tail.

Repeat seaming instructions for other side seam.

Shoulder Seams:

Thread one of the yarn tails from the top edge of the piece through your yarn needle. Starting at the top corner, begin whip stitching the two panels together across the top edge. Stop when your seam is about 8.5 (9.8, 10.5, 11.3, 10.8, 12, 13, 14, 15) inches OR 21.5 (25, 26.5, 28.5, 27.5, 30.5, 33, 35.5, 38) cm long. Take one more stitch in the same place as the previous stitch, wrap the yarn around the needle, and pull the needle through to make a knot. Weave in the yarn tail.

Thread the other yarn tail at the other top corner through your yarn needle. Repeat the same instructions for the previous shoulder seam with that tail on the other side, and weave in all remaining yarn tails.
