    The Diamond Top Crochet Pattern is such an amazingly easy pattern that will make you want to create more wearables. This top is made out of 2 rectangles sewing together to create a V neck top.


    Lacy tops are always fun to wear in the summer over basic T-shirts or spaghetti straps. They add an element of interest and texture while dressing up any plain top.

    This top is made out of two rectangles that are sewn together. The rectangles feature the Diamond Lace Crochet Stitch for which I have a detailed Photo and Video Tutorial.

    This stunning Diamond Top crochet pattern is available in 4 types of sizes ranging from XS to 4XL. As it is made with worsted weighted yarn, you will actually not need many skeins in order to make this amazing V Neck Top.

    You can easily change out the yarn to a different color, but I absolutely loved working with the Paintbox Yarns Simple Aran. It is so soft and works up very well using any type of crochet hook. I used my Furls Crochet Odyseey hook for it which I love so much.

    Sewing and finishing up the Crochet Top

    Now fold the 2 rectangles in half.

    sewing Diamond Crochet top

    Sew them together using the mattress stitch on each side about ¾ from the end to the middle, such that you are creating a big long hole in the middle of the entire piece.

    Side of Diamond V Neck top

    Now lay the outside corners on top of each other such that 22 stitches are right on top of each other. Pin it so you can test whether that would work around your hips. If that does not work, overlay more or less depending on your comfort.

    Crochet Ribbing of the Top

    Start anywhere you like, but it is better to be on one of the sides where you laid over the corners.

    Row 1: Ch 1, 1 sc in each stitch all around, making sure to include both stitches of the overlaying parts, sl st to the first st

    Row 2 – 7 (9, 11, 13): Ch 1, 1 sc in the blo in each st, sl st to the first st.

    Finished Crochet Diamond Top

    Fasten off and weave in the ends.

    Seam of Diamond Top

    Now you will sew the overlaying sides together until you create an arm opening. Sew either one (like I did) or both sides together using the mattress stitch about ¾ of the way up (same height as middle sewn area) to create arm holes.

    Fasten off and weave in the ends. You are now done and can wear your Diamond V Neck Top. Enjoy!
