Lois Top

***This pattern is currently only available in the book Tunisian Crochet Tops: 14 Beginner-Friendly Patterns for Colorful Sweaters, Tanks, and Tees by Ashley Rivas.*** Read more about the book [here][1]. **About** This piece was named after my grandmother Lois, who taught me how to crochet. I wanted to use a lacey stitch that is both elegant and fun, and the arrowhead stitch does just that! The result is a top that is as enjoyable to make as it is to wear. The Lois Top was designed to be a layering piece for warmer weather. Think of it as something special to add to a summer outfit. Wear over a sundress or a tank top, and enjoy! **Skill Level:** Easy **Finished Bust:** XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) 32.5” (36.5”, 40.5”, 44.5”, 48.5”) (52.5”, 56.5”, 60.5”, 64.5”) 81 cm (91 cm, 101 cm, 111 cm, 121 cm) (131 cm, 141 cm, 151 cm, 161 cm) **Recommended Ease:** 2.5” to 4.5” (6 cm to 11 cm) **Yarn** DK weight, 24/7 Cotton DK by Lion Brand (100% cotton), 273 yds (250 m) per 100-g skein, cream colorway **Yardage/Meterage** 2 (2, 3, 3, 3) (4, 4, 4, 5) skeins of 24/7 Cotton DK or 460 (520, 610, 700, 800) (900, 990, 1080, 1150) yds / 420 (475, 560, 640, 730) (825, 905, 990, 1050) m **Hooks** *Note: Use hook sizes below or sizes needed to meet gauge* Body: US H-8 (5 mm) Tunisian crochet hook with 10” to 24” (25 cm to 61 cm) cord Trim: US 7 (4.5 mm) crochet hook **Notions** Stitch markers Scissors ***For exclusive pattern discounts, join the mailing list at TinyCouchCrochet.com*** If you enjoy making this pattern, and would like to share, please use the hashtags #TunisianLoisTop and #TunisianCrochetTopsBook and tag @TinyCouchCrochet on Instagram.
