The Lexi Top

The Lexi Top is a lightweight, size-inclusive Tunisian crochet top pattern designed for warm-weather making and easy layering. Worked in fingering-weight yarn and Tunisian knit stitch, the Lexi features a classic V-neck, sleeveless silhouette, and carefully graded shaping for a flattering fit across all 10 sizes. The pattern is written for finished bust measurements from 30–66 inches. The Lexi is worked top down, beginning with the shoulder panels. The front and back are shaped separately before being joined to work the body in the round, allowing you to try the top on as you go and easily adjust the finished length. Prefer not to work Tunisian crochet in the round? Instructions are also included for working the body flat and seaming the sides. The sample is made in beautiful **Lambstrings Yarn Sadie Singles** in the colorway **Nettle**, a fingering-weight 100% superwash merino that gives the simple Tunisian knit stitch fabric wonderful color and movement. ### Pattern Details * **Skill level:** Intermediate * **Construction:** Top down * **Sizes:** 1–10 * **Finished bust:** 30(34, 38, 42)(46, 50, 54)(58, 62, 66) inches * **Ease:** Approximately -1 to 2 inches * **Yarn weight:** Fingering / CYC 1 * **Sample yarn:** Lambstrings Yarn Sadie Singles, 100% superwash merino, 400 yds/100 g * **Sample colorway:** Nettle * **Main hook:** 2 x 6.5 mm Tunisian crochet hook with cable, or size needed to meet gauge * **Finishing hook:** 5 mm traditional crochet hook, or approximately 1.5 mm smaller than the hook used to meet gauge * **Gauge:** 18.75 sts × 18.5 rows = 4 inches in Tunisian knit stitch after blocking ### Estimated Yardage 680(790, 900, 1000)(1120, 1220, 1350)(1490, 1590, 1730) yards The pattern includes detailed written instructions, sizing and finished measurement information, stitch definitions, construction notes, and photos to help guide you through the process.
