Crochet Top MonteNegro #3
This summer top is the breezy evolution of my popular knitted top MonteNegro #1 –
a design that many of you already love.
With this crochet version, you revisit that signature look, but work with a completely new technique:
light, summery, and with a delicate lace pattern in the upper section.
The result is a modern summer top that works perfectly both at the beach and in everyday life –
casual, stylish, and absolutely timeless.
The pattern is structured so you can work your way through step by step with confidence –
supported by:
Even confident beginners will enjoy making this.
Why you'll love this top:
MonteNegro #1 was originally a design for knitters.
With this crochet version, I deliberately want to reach crocheters too –
because style knows no technique.
A detailed step-by-step pattern will guide you confidently through the entire crochet process.
For additional support, three clear and easy-to-read crochet charts are included, making the stitch patterns even easier to follow.
You will also find a clear schematic in the pattern, so you can keep track of the shape and construction at all times.

Da ich nicht weiß, welche Größe du gerade arbeitest, erkläre ich es einfach einmal allgemein:
Zuerst häkelst du alle Zunahmen fertig. Erst danach wechselst du zu Muster B.
Ich hoffe, damit ist die Stelle etwas klarer. 💙
Wenn noch Fragen auftauchen, schreib mir jederzeit gerne auch eine Nachricht.
Alles Liebe,
Kathrin
Die 108 Maschen beim Anschlag sind inklusive der 3 Luftmaschen als Ersatz für das erste Stäbchen angegeben. Dadurch entstehen 105 gehäkelte Stäbchen + 3 Luftmaschen = 108 Anschlagsmaschen.
Für Größe M nimmst du anschließend insgesamt 4 Maschen zu (2 Maschen bei der ersten beidseitigen Zunahme und 2 Maschen bei der weiteren beidseitigen Zunahme). Dadurch kommst du auf 109 Stäbchen.
Ich hoffe, damit wird die Berechnung etwas verständlicher.
Liebe Grüße,
Kathrin
Ich bin gerade am Vorderteil bei der ersten Reihe von Muster *B* angekommen. Dort habe ich fM-2LM-5 M überspringen-1fM gehäkelt. Jetzt schlägt der untere Teil allerdings Wellen, weil es natürlich mit den 2 LM über 5 Maschen „eng“ ist. Muss ich die Luftmaschen größer ziehen?
Im Ausschnitt aus der Häkelschrift werden immer nur 2 Maschen übersprungen.
Bitte, bitte hilf mir. Ich möchte so gern weitermachen.
Liebe Grüße,
Kirsten
vielen Dank für deine Nachricht! 😊
Keine Sorge – die Luftmaschen musst du nicht größer häkeln.
In der 1. Reihe von Muster B werden immer 1 FM, 2 LM und 2 Maschen übersprungen gearbeitet.
An der Häkelschrift zu Muster B kannst du es gut erkennen - die gelbe Reihe ist die letzte Reihe von Muster A.
Ich denke, daher kommt das "Wellen".
Schicke mir gerne auch ein Bild über die Nachrichtenfunktion oder per Email - wir kommen schon drauf ☺️
Liebe Grüße
Kathrin
Danke! :-)
eine feste Umrechnung in „deutsche Größen“ ist bei dem Top tatsächlich nur bedingt möglich – der Schnitt ist hier wirklich die aussagekräftigste Orientierung.
Wenn man sich die Maßskizze anschaut, sieht man, dass das Top eher locker und gerade geschnitten ist.
Zum Beispiel hat schon die Größe S unten eine Breite von ca. 54 cm (also rund 108 cm Umfang insgesamt) – das ist bewusst nicht körpereng gedacht.
Daher fallen die Größen etwas großzügiger aus, als man es von klassischen Konfektionsgrößen kennt.
Eine grobe Einordnung (mitteleuropäisch, locker getragen) wäre:
S ≈ 36/38
M ≈ 38/40
L ≈ 40/42
XL ≈ 42/44 (je nach Wunschweite auch Richtung 44/46)
Wie locker oder figurbetont das Top sitzt, hängt stark davon ab, welche Größe du wählst – das Modell ist da sehr flexibel.
Am besten die Maße aus der Skizze mit einem gut passenden Top vergleichen – das ist meist deutlich genauer als jede Größentabelle 😉
Wenn du magst, helfe ich dir gern individuell bei der Auswahl.
Liebe Grüße
Kathrin
Meine T-Shirts haben eine Breite von ca 60cm - ich werde es daher mal mit L versuchen.
Liebe Grüße zurück! 😊
