What you need to know

Crochet a cool cotton top using an easy treble crochet stitch pattern, designed by Susie Johns

Simple yet stylish cotton camisole tops are the perfect addition to your holiday wardrobe. Not only do they keep you cool but they are elegant and feminine at the same time. Designer Susie Johns has chosen Neapolitan shades for a vintage feel, but you could also work in just one colour. The easy-to-follow crochet stitch pattern for the main section is worked side-to-side using treble crochet and chain stitches, while the bodice crochet pattern also uses double crochet.
This pattern fits sizes 10-16 but could easily be made large by working additional stripes on the lower section. When it comes to picking up the stitches for the bodice, make sure you are working with a multiple of 3 stitches plus 8 to keep the stitch pattern correct.
