Very Peri Tee

Design by Miroslava Mihalkova from Exquisite Crochet UK.

This crochet lace top is your everyday luxury that can be paired with a simple tank top or a silk shirt depending on the occasion. The tee is worked flat from bottom up in two pieces and sewn together using the Locking Mattress Stitch. This project may be an easy start with making your own handmade wardrobe. And once you start, you will not want to stop! The crochet lace top is the perfect option for warm spring and summer days due to its lacy structure. It has got gentle shaping around armholes and neckline to give it more fitted look.
