The stitch pattern used to crochet the In Bloom Lace Pullover reminds me of a trellis with tiny blooming flowers. The crochet lace stitch is such an easy pattern worked in a 4-row repeat. The sleeves are loose and can easily be adjusted to sit at the elbow, 3/4 length or full length, as pictured. Also, customize the bodice to any length. The entire pattern for the crochet top is worked in one piece making it the perfect crochet top pattern for beginners.
How to Style
The oversized easy one-piece lace crochet top pattern looks great with various outfits! I’ve paired it with the Stroll in The Park Halter Top Crochet Pattern. Wear the lace crochet top design with jeans, shorts, a skirt, wide-leg palazzo pants or leggings. The crochet pullover is written in Standard American terms and includes sizes XS – 5X. The schematic, stitch chart and detailed pictures are included in the written PDF pattern.
Hook
The easy one-piece lace crochet top pattern calls for a US 6/G (4mm) and a US 7/G+ (4.5mm) or size needed to obtain the gauge.
To prevent hand pain, I crochet with Furls Crochet Hooks. I can spend hours crocheting with these hooks. For the In Bloom Lace Pullover, I used the Furls Streamline Taurus Hooks.
