We girls all love wearing a pretty, airy little top—no matter whether we’re still as little as my second-youngest or already “as old” as me *laughs*.
This little top is especially nice and airy made from lightweight cake yarn (3-ply, 50/50, 3.5 mm hook), but it also looks great over a long-sleeved shirt and crocheted with thicker, warmer yarn.

Beginner-friendly, extensively illustrated step-by-step pattern
Can be made in any size and with any yarn!

Just right for hot summer days: Tunic LINNEA is a relaxed, casual tunic knitted from a cool ribbon yarn. The interesting stitch pattern is a combination of wave pattern, lace pattern, and dropped stitches that lets plenty of air through in summer! With its straight cut and slightly oversized fit, it's an ideal little piece to quickly throw on over a swimsuit or bikini - or, in the evening, to wear dressed up with pants, cinched with a belt or tie cord! The tunic can also very easily be lengthened into a long tunic or a mini dress! The stitch pattern is provided both as a knitting chart and described row by row, so everyone can work according to their preference.

SIZES: 36-40 (42-46) 48-52 Difficulty level: Easy to medium (also for experienced beginners)

The knitting pattern is available here:

Whether in a dirndl look, as a simple tunic, or as a dress, this pattern gives you lots of design options.
It can be made in all sizes. Thanks to adjustable straps,
a good fit is ensured even after repeated washing.






Click here to go to the pattern:


Materials needed:
  • For women's size 38, I used about 1,300 m of 4-ply yarn (for larger sizes, plan for correspondingly more)
  • Crochet hook to match the yarn (size 3 + 3.5 were used here)
  • possibly 4 buttons, 12 mm - 15 mm

This openwork-look sweater can be worn all year round.
There are no limits to the variations - whether over a tank top, a bikini top, or a long shirt - it always works!
The two buttons set the trend!

The pattern is simple yet sophisticated, and the design requires no decreases or increases at all...
... which makes it absolutely recommended for beginners too!

A detailed description guides you through the crochet process.
For clarification, a crochet chart is also included in the pattern.

This pattern is designed for sizes S/M and L/XL.
However, the pattern explains how the sweater can easily be adapted to any size.
The included cut/template and the gauge help with that!

And here’s the pattern and more details...

The (glass) buttons add that special something - and there are no limits to your creativity.
And of course... the fringe is a must-have this summer!

A detailed description guides you through the crochet process.
For clarification, the pattern also includes a chart in crochet chart form.
The button diagrams as well as the fringe-making are also illustrated and described.

Perfect for warm days—whether over a bikini at the beach or over a tank top in the city—always an eye-catcher!
The mesh pattern is stable and won’t stretch out of shape, because the slipped stitches alternate.
The “open” sleeves add that special something!

The pattern is absolutely suitable for beginners!

The pattern includes a precise cut for size 38/40.
However, the gauge in combination with the cut makes it possible to make any size!

And here’s the pattern with more details...
