Hello, my lovelies! Ready to begin a new crochet adventure? Let’s talk about the Crochet Scalloped Top—a charming piece we’re excited to share with you. And if you still associate crochet with your nan’s living room, it might be time to reconsider. Over the past couple of years, crochet has made a fashionable comeback—not only on the catwalks, but also at beach parties, brunches, and even weddings. It’s no longer a nostalgic craft; it’s a statement.
What makes crochet tops so special is their versatility. They pair effortlessly with a range of outfits, adapting beautifully to various styles. A crochet blouse can absolutely be part of a professional ensemble, but it also fits right into a laid-back, bohemian-inspired look. Short-sleeved crochet tops are especially adaptable—you can dress them up or down. If the blouse has an open or “leaked” stitch pattern, it layers beautifully over different types of tops underneath, like strappy camisoles or bralettes for a more casual feel.
Want something a bit more modest or work-appropriate? Just pop a plain tank top underneath, and voilà—your outfit becomes suitable for less casual settings without losing any charm. These tops also look fabulous when paired with jeans—whether you’re into slim fits or wide-leg flares. For a more relaxed look, try them with denim shorts and a pair of strappy espadrilles. Finish the outfit with a colourful fabric bag, and you’ve got an effortlessly chic look.

The pattern is worked using lightweight yarn—ideal for those in-between weather days when you want something breathable but stylish. Depending on the brand and type of yarn you select, you may need to use a different crochet hook. But don’t worry—this detail is always included on the yarn packaging. When it comes to colour, go with whatever excites you. Personally, I like to imagine the finished look when choosing yarn—that way, it’s easier to picture how I’ll wear it. With so many shades to choose from, you might find yourself wanting one in every colour… but let’s not get ahead of ourselves!
Always opt for high-quality materials—it really makes a difference in the final product. The pattern offers a range of sizes, so have a measuring tape handy to figure out what suits you best. Whether you prefer a snug fit or something more relaxed, you’ll find the right option. All the sizing guidance and instructions are included in the step-by-step tutorial from Yarnspirations.
Let us know how yours turns out—we’d love to hear from you. Now then, off you go—happy crocheting!
