I have quite a few beloved tops in my closet with rounded bottoms. Thus, I wanted to design one myself. The nicely rounded bottom hem compliments the natural curves of your body, without adding restrictions. While the twisted lattice pattern adds intrigue. I love the look of the alternating single crochet and double crochet pattern. It results in theย loveliestย texture, without being too bulky and hot. Made in a cotton or bamboo blended yarn, the Twisted Lattice Top willย beย the perfect piece for your spring and summer wardrobe. It fits nicely under a blazer or cardigan and will keep you cool on the hottest summer days.ย ย

To fit bust size:ย 31-33โ€ (34-35โ€,ย 36-37โ€,ย 38-40โ€, 41-43โ€, 44-45โ€™)ย

Materials:ย 

I used Patons Silk Bamboo in White. This is aย 70%ย bamboo/30%ย silkย dkย weight (#3) yarn. Any yarn of similar weight would work.ย ย 

Approx.ย 800ย (800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200)ย yardsย

Gauge:ย 

16ย st (dc, sc repeat) and 16 rowsย = 4โ€ square.ย See gauge swatch instructions.ย ย 

Please check your gauge before beginning. It will save you time and heartache!ย 

Abbreviations:ย 

Sk = Skipย 

St = Stitchย 

Ss = Slip Stichย 

Ch = Chainย 

Sc = Single Crochetย 

Hdc = Half Double Crochetย 

Dc = Double Crochetย 

Tr = Triple Crochetย 

Fpdc = Front Post Double Crochetย 

Bpdc = Back Post Double Crochetย 

Fptr = Front Post Triple Crochetย 

Bptr = Back Post Triple Crochetย 

Notes:ย 

Ch3 at the beginning of a row is always considered a Dc.ย ย 

The top is worked in two pieces. Each piece is worked from the bottom up.ย You will start withย the Solid Pattern, making increases to form the rounded bottom. Once the proper width and length is achieved you willย workย the Lattice Pattern.ย The pieces are then sewnย together and the hems are added.ย 

ย I have added many pictures to help you along the way, however these pictures are only of one size (L) and should not be used as reference for stitch and row counts.ย ย 

The model has a 39โ€ bust and is wearing a sizeย Large.ย Choose your size according to the finished measurements noted above.ย ย 

Gauge Swatchย 

Chย 17.ย ย 

1. Sc inย 2ndย ch from hook, Dc in next ch, *Sc in next ch, Dc in next ch** Repeat in each ch to end.ย ย โ€“ 16 sts

2.-16. Ch1,ย sc in 1stย st, dc in next st,ย *sc in next st, dc in next st** Repeat in every st to end.ย ย โ€“ 16 sts

-Following this pattern,ย you should be placing your dc in theย sc from the previous row, and your sc in the dc from the previous row. This will formย a lovely, textured stitch.ย ย 

-Once you have 16 rows, measure your swatch. It should be 4โ€ x 4โ€.ย ย

Your piece should now measureย 17โ€ (18โ€,ย 19โ€,ย 20โ€,ย 22โ€,ย 23โ€) Wide andย 12โ€ (13โ€, 13ย ยฝ โ€œ, 14โ€, 14 ยฝโ€, 15โ€) Long.ย See below for a general idea of what your piece should look like.ย ย 

From here you will work the lattice portion of the back.ย I have reset the row count to make the pattern easier to follow.ย Note: You will be working front post and back post stitches. When you turn your work at the end of the row, front post stitches from the previous row will look like back post stitches. Likewise, back post stitches willย look likeย front post stitches.ย To avoid confusion I will refer to back postย stitches from the previous row as front post stitches and front post stitches from the previous row as back post stitches.ย ย

At this point your back panel should look similar to the picture below. Fasten off. You will now make your front panel.ย I found that the lattice part of my pattern pulled in a bit and made the panel a bit narrower at the top.ย This is normal. The back may end up slightly narrower than the front, but the effect is actually quite attractive.ย ย

Join Front and Backย 

You will now sew your front and back panels together.ย ย 

Hold the twoย panels with right sides facing eachย other (see lattice pattern to find the right sides).ย ย 

Whip stitch the shoulders together 17 stitches from the edges.ย ย 

Whip stitch the sides together. You will be sewing rows 15 โ€“ย 54 (54, 56, 58, 60, 62).ย This will result in an 8โ€ armhole depth. I would suggest trying on the top at this point and seeing if you like the depth of the armholes. If you want them a bit tighter, sew more rows together. If you prefer them looser, Remove a few of your whip stitches.ย ย 

Tip:ย I find it easier to sew long seams like this if I place locking stitch markers on each end. It helps to make sure my seams are straight and right where they should be.ย ย 

Turn your piece right side out.ย ย 

Neckย 

Join yarn in one sideย inย shoulder seamย with right side facing you.ย ย 

1. Ch1, sc inย shoulder seam, sc inย each hdc, sc in shoulder seam, sc in each hdc.ย Slst to first sc. Fasten off.ย ย 

  • 70ย (78,ย 86,ย 94,ย 110,ย 122) scย 

Armholesย 

Join your yarn in either arm hole at the armpitย with right side facing you.ย ย 

1. Sc evenly around the entire armhole. I placed 1 sc in each sc/dc row, 1 sc in each hdc row, 3 sc in each dc row, 4 sc in each tr rowย andย 1 sc in the top shoulder seam.ย Continue in this pattern until you come around to the first sc.ย Slst in the first sc.ย Do not turn.ย ย 

2. Ch1, hdc in each sc around. Slst in first hdc. Fasten off.ย ย 

Repeat for the other arm.ย ย 

Bottom Hemย 

Join your yarnย in the bottom of one side seam.ย ย 

1. Ch1,ย place 1 sc in the side seam,ย  20 sc in the sides of rows 14ย โ€“ย 1,ย 1 sc in each stitch acrossย bottom, 20 sc in sides of rows 1 โ€“ 14, 1 sc in side seam, 20 sc in sides of rows 14 โ€“ 1, 1 sc in each stitch across bottom, 20 sc in sides of rows 1 โ€“ 14.ย Slst to first sc.ย Do not turn.ย ย

Weave in all your ends, and youโ€™re done!ย I would suggest washing and blocking your project as I find the stitches fall into place better when I do that.ย ย
