Tyndall Top by Janine Myska

What is Being Made

The Tyndall Top is a beginner-friendly, sleeveless crochet top designed for warm weather wear. This garment features a curved neckline and a structured bottom border with knit-like ribbing detail. The top is worked flat in two separate panels that come together to create a finished piece with exceptional drape and movement.

Design Features and Construction

This crochet top is specifically engineered to provide a flowing, breathable silhouette ideal for warm climates. The design emphasizes drape through thoughtful stitch selection and yarn choice, creating a garment that feels slinky and comfortable without excess bulk. The curved neckline adds feminine shaping, while the ribbed bottom border provides a polished, finished appearance reminiscent of knitted garments.

Crochet Techniques Used

• Flat panel construction worked in two separate pieces
• Double-strand yarn holding technique, working two strands as one
• Stacked single crochet stitch pattern for the main body
• Knit-like ribbing technique for the bottom border

Stitches Used

• Single crochet – the primary stitch used in a stacked pattern throughout the main body to create vertical lines and enhance the fabric's drape
• Ribbing stitch – used for the bottom border to add structure and a knitted appearance

Materials

This pattern is designed to be worked with Lion Brand Truboo yarn held double (two strands worked together as one). Truboo is a super chunky weight yarn made from bamboo fiber, which provides exceptional drape and breathability even when held with double strands. The bamboo fiber content ensures the resulting fabric remains flowy and lightweight without adding bulk, making it perfect for warm weather garments. Standard crochet hooks appropriate for super chunky yarn weight are required.

Skill Level

This pattern is rated as Easy, making it an excellent choice for beginner crocheters. The straightforward stitch pattern and flat panel construction method make this top accessible to those new to crochet while still producing a sophisticated, wearable garment.
