Lauma Top

The Lauma Top is a lightweight summer crochet blouse designed for ease, comfort, and effortless elegance. Worked flat in two panels and assembled with minimal shaping, it features a modified bamboo leaf stitch that adds soft texture and a beautiful drape - without any complexity.

This top is beginner-friendly but visually impressive, making it a rewarding project for crocheters of all skill levels. The relaxed fit and clean silhouette create a flattering shape that works well with jeans, skirts, or layered over dresses. It’s perfect for warm days, travel, or simply upgrading your everyday handmade wardrobe.

The pattern includes sizes XS–5X and has been thoroughly tested. Simple short-row shaping at the shoulders and optional neckline adjustments allow you to customize the fit while keeping the construction straightforward. The stitch pattern is rhythmic and meditative, ideal for relaxing summer making.

The sample is made using Hobbii Fio – a fingering-weight blend of 70% recycled cotton and 30% polyester. This yarn gives the top excellent breathability, softness, and subtle sheen, with a natural melange texture that makes even simple designs stand out.

What’s included in the pattern:
– Full written instructions in English (US crochet terms)
– Sizes XS–5X with bust fit from 71 to 158 cm (28–62")
– Customization notes for neckline depth and top length
– Detailed guidance on assembly, finishing, and edging
– Step-by-step photos to help visualize the construction

Whether you're new to garments or just want a relaxing summer project, the Lauma Top is designed to make you feel confident - in your stitches and in your outfit.
