Shirt, Top, Tunic “Marlene” (Top-Down Raglan) - Crochet Pattern

The crochet pattern shows you how to crochet the tunic in one piece from top to bottom (top-down raglan), which makes it perfect for gradient yarns or yarn cakes. You can make the summer shirt in any length you like – the photos show two different lengths.

No matter where you wear this beautiful shirt – at the beach over a bikini or swimsuit, or in everyday life with jeans, a skirt, or shorts – it suits many occasions.

Even on colder days, you can easily incorporate the tunic into your wardrobe – simply combine it with a plain long-sleeved shirt or wear it over a fitted dress.

The pattern includes a very detailed description with written instructions, crochet chart, step-by-step photos, and a schematic with measurements.

Required skills: slip stitch, chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet.

Instructions on how to adjust the pattern to other sizes are included.
