Sneak Peek: Water Lily Crochet Summer Top + Free Stitch Tutorial

 

Friends, I’m so excited to finally share a glimpse of my newest design — the Water Lily Crochet Summer Top! 

This lacy, lightweight garment has quickly become one of my favorite creations, and I think you're going to love it too.

The stitch pattern is light, delicate, and just breezy enough for summer — and the way it flows reminds me of blooming water lilies dancing on a quiet pond. That’s how this top got its name — graceful, airy, and effortlessly feminine.

While I’m still putting the finishing touches on the written pattern and step-by-step video tutorial, I’ve already shared a demo of the main lacy stitch used in the top on my YouTube channel. 

You can start learning the stitch today, try it out, and even begin swatching for your perfect size.

It’s simple to learn and so versatile — perfect for summer tops, shawls, scarves, or whatever project you dream up.

If you're already dreaming about making your own Water Lily Top, you can start by:

• Watching the tutorial

• Choosing your yarn (I used Alize Cotton Gold, 55% cotton / 45% acrylic)

• Grabbing a G (4.25 mm) hook

• Making a swatch and getting familiar with the stitch repeat

  
  

The pattern is now in the hands of a professional technical editor, and once that step is complete, it will be tested in multiple sizes to make sure it fits and looks great on real bodies.

After that it will be available in my Etsy and Ravelry shops!

This piece is perfect for warm days — breezy, elegant, and light on the skin. Whether you wear it over a tank, dress it up for brunch, or throw it on with jeans, it’s the kind of handmade garment that gets noticed (and asked about!).
