Coffee Date Top

With it’s wonderfully textured stitch pattern and open back, this top is sure to turn heads! This breezy tee pairs beautifully with high waisted shorts, skirts, and pants- perfect for the summer months! The Coffee Date Top is a novice level crochet pattern. It uses only single and double crochet stitches, worked in the back loop only to produce a ribbed effect, combined with some basic increasing and decreasing to produce a garment that is visually interesting, without the hassle of complicated stitches or advanced shaping. This pattern is written TUTORIAL STYLE, meaning it can be scaled to fit any size required and does not contain specific or set sizes! Any weight 2-4 yarn will work wonderfully for this project, and using a hook that is 1-2 sizes larger than recommended on the yarn label for the body of the garment will ensure the tension is not too tight, creating a flowy and light top that has tons of drape! This shirt is worked up in 4 separate pieces- a front, back, and two sleeves, then seamed together.
