Crochet Pattern Summer Top with Open Back | Crochet Top CROSS#back

Product description

Simple at the front. A true eye-catcher at the back.

CROSS#back surprises with an open, crossed back design that gives the top its distinctive look.
This unique combination is what makes it so special:
perfect for everyday wear – yet anything but ordinary.

This pattern is a revised relaunch of an existing design –
featuring a clear structure, improved layout, and even better usability.

To help you work through this top in a relaxed, step-by-step way, the pattern is intentionally designed to be easy to follow:
All rows are fully written out, guiding you safely through the entire process –
even if you haven’t completed many projects yet.

In addition, 4 colored crochet charts support you visually, making the stitch patterns easy to understand – ideal if you enjoy working from charts or combining both methods.

The top is created using 3 stitch patterns that build on each other, adding structure, lightness, and visual interest – without being complicated.
A clear schematic helps you keep track of the construction at all times.

This makes the pattern also suitable for confident beginners
who are ready to take on a slightly more advanced, yet clearly explained project.

Start your next favorite project now and add a special detail to your summer wardrobe with CROSS#back.

Wunderschönes Modell und tolle Anleitung - Aber nicht druckerfreundlich
Die Anleitungen von Stricken im Trend sind immer wundervoll. :) Da ich sie am Tablet verwende, ist die Farbe auch auch kein Problem. Wer druckt, wird sehr viel Tinte/Toner verbrauchen :)

Naja...
Ich kam mit der Anleitung nicht wirklich zurecht. Das Vorderteil habe ich dann nach gut Dünken gestrickt. Leider konnte ich dann das Rückenteil nicht genauso stricken. Ich hoffte auf die Beantwortung meiner Fragen im Kommentarbereich, aber da warte ich seit 2 Monaten drauf. Somit habe ich alles wieder aufgeribbelt und habe nicht wirklich Lust für einen Neustart, obwohl ich einige Fragen mit KI beantworten lassen konnte. Aber das ist nicht Sinn einer Anleitung.

Wunderbar leicht und entspannend zum Stricken
Das Muster ist leicht nachvollziehbar und durch den grossen Teil an Glatt-Rechts-Reihen rasch gestrickt.

Tolle Anleitung für einen Frenchie Pulli
Sehr gut beschriebene Anleitung und für mich als Anfänger total verständlich. Bei mir wurde der Pulli ein bisschen zu kurz, aber die liebe Kathrin hat mir innert kurzer Zeit auf meine Nachricht geantwortet und mir erklärt, wie ich den Pulli länger bekomme. Also haben wir mit dem zweiten Pulli gestartet. Toll, eine echte Hilfe

Schöne Anleitung - lässt sich gut nacharbeiten… aber das Lochmuster erfordert schon Aufmerksamkeit… das Ergebnis ist aber ein wirklich a schöner Pulli 👍🏻

Sieht gut aus
Strickjacke ist gerade fertig geworden. Perfekt für den Übergang. Ich habe noch einen Druckknopf am Ausschnitt befestigt. Die Ärmel waren knifflig , hatte Schwierigkeiten die Zunahmen im Muster zu integrieren, deshalb hab ich sie von oben gestrickt. Das fiel mir dann leichter.
