Women's Crochet Top in Sirdar Cotton 4 Ply – Pattern 7306

This downloadable PDF crochet pattern from Sirdar provides instructions for a stylish women's top worked in Sirdar Cotton 4 Ply. Designed to fit a wide range of sizes — from a 32/34 inch bust right through to a 52/54 inch bust — this pattern is an excellent choice for crocheters looking for an inclusive, size-forward design that doesn't compromise on style or detail.

What Is Being Made

The pattern produces a women's top with sleeves, suitable for warm-weather wear or layering. The finished garment features a flattering fit with actual measurements ranging from 90 cm (35½ in) up to 142 cm (56 in) across the chest, giving generous ease across all sizes. The full length of the top ranges from approximately 55 cm to 68 cm depending on the size, and the sleeve length — which is described as adjustable — is approximately 46 to 48 cm (18 to 19 inches), making it easy to customise the fit to your preference.

Sizes Included

• To fit chest/bust: 81/86, 91/97, 102/107, 112/117, 122/127, and 132/137 cm (32/34 through 52/54 in)
• Actual measurement: 90, 102, 111, 121, 131, and 142 cm
• Full length (approx): 55 to 68 cm across sizes
• Sleeve length (adjustable): 46 to 48 cm across sizes

Techniques Used

This is a crochet pattern, making it ideal for those who enjoy working with a hook rather than knitting needles. The construction incorporates two distinct fabric textures, giving the finished top visual interest and a professional finish. A key decorative element is the Lattice pattern, an openwork design that adds an elegant, lacy quality to the garment — perfect for a lightweight cotton summer top. The combination of a solid treble crochet fabric alongside the lattice sections creates a beautiful contrast of texture and drape.

Stitches Used

• Treble crochet — used as the main body stitch, with a tension of 21 stitches and 10 rows to 10 cm (4 in)
• Lattice pattern — a repeating openwork stitch pattern worked over a 10-stitch repeat, measuring 4.5 cm (1¾ in) per repeat, with 10 rows to 10 cm (4 in)

The lattice stitch is a classic crochet technique that creates a grid-like or diamond mesh effect by combining chain spaces with connecting stitches. It is lightweight and airy, making it particularly well-suited to cotton yarn in warmer seasons.
