Open Waves Top - Crochet Pattern for Women
What is Being Made
The Open Waves Top is a women's crocheted summer garment designed by Rose Obom. This downloadable crochet pattern creates a lightweight, openwork top suitable for warm weather wear. The pattern is available in eight sizes ranging from XS to 4XL, with bust measurements from 28-30 inches up to 56-58 inches, making it accessible for a wide range of body types.
Crochet Techniques and Stitch Work
This intermediate-level crochet pattern employs an alternating stitch technique as its foundation. The basic stitch pattern alternates between double crochet stitches worked into single crochet stitches and single crochet stitches worked into double crochet stitches. This alternating approach creates the characteristic open, wave-like texture that gives the garment its name. The pattern is written in U.S. crochet terminology, with chain stitches at the beginning and end of rows not counting toward the stitch count.
The open construction of this top makes it an ideal project for intermediate crocheters looking to develop their stitch consistency and understanding of how different stitches interact within a garment structure. The wave pattern creates natural drape and breathability, essential qualities for a summer top.
Materials Required
The Open Waves Top requires the following materials:
- Yarn: Sport weight yarn in quantities ranging from 2 to 5 balls depending on size. The pattern specifically uses Alize Cotton Gold, which features a fiber composition of 55% cotton and 45% acrylic. Each ball weighs 100 grams and provides 329 meters or 360 yards of yardage. Yardage requirements vary by size: XS and S require 658 meters, M, L, and 1XL require 987 meters, 2XL requires 1316 meters, and 3XL and 4XL require 1645 meters. For yarn substitution, Scheepjes Stone Washed is recommended as an alternative, offering identical fiber content and weight characteristics.
- Hook: 4.5mm crochet hook
- Additional Tools: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends and stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and shaping
