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.

Furthermore, the Diamond Crochet Top is made with only single crochet and double crochet stitches and can easily be made within 1-2 days.
As this crochet pattern was sponsored by LoveCrochet who provide me with yarn support for the Diamond Crochet Top, I have this pattern available on their site as a premium pattern for download for a very low and affordable price. The pattern is now available right here for free as well. Also, while you are on LoveCrochet, be sure to follow me so you can get updates and find me easily for new pattern publications.
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.

Diamond Top Crochet Pattern Free Instructions:
Be sure to be familiar with the Diamond Lace Stitch HERE and use the graph in the below as well.
The stitches per sizes are shown like this: XS/S (M/L, XL/2XL, 3XL/4XL). The turning chain of 3 chains counts as a stitch.
The below instructions make 1 rectangle. Make in total 2 rectangles.
Row 1: Ch 38 (46, 62, 71) and then start from the 6th ch (the 5 skipped stitches are 3 for the first stitch, and 1 for the skipped stitch and chain of 1) crochet *1 dc in the next 7 sts, sk 1 st, ch 1, repeat from * until the last stitch, place 1 dc in the last stitch, turn [35 (43, 59, 68) Sts]
Row 2: Ch 3, *1 dc in the ch space, sk 1 st, ch 1, 1 dc in the next 5 sts, sk 1 st, ch 1, repeat from * until the last 2 sts where you place 1 dc in the ch sp and 1 dc in the 3rd ch of the first st, turn.

Row 4: Ch 3, 1 dc in the 2nd thru 4th st, *sk 1 st, ch 1, 1 dc, sk 1 st, ch 1, 1 dc in the next 5 sts, repeat from *. BUT finish the row with 4 dc’s, not 5 dc’s, turn.
Row 5: Ch 3, 1 dc in the 2nd thru 5th st, *sk 1 st, ch 1, 1 dc in the next 7 sts, repeat from *. But finish the row with 5 dc’s, not 7 dc’s, turn.

Row 8: Ch 3, *1 dc in the next st, sk 1 st, ch 1, 1 dc in the next 5 sts, sk 1 st, ch 1, repeat from * until the last 2 sts where you place 1 dc in the next st and 1 dc in the 3rd ch of the first st, turn.
Row 9: Ch 4, sk 1, 1 dc in ch sp and next 6 sts, sk 1, ch 1, *1 dc in the next 7 sts, sk 1 st, ch 1, repeat from * until the last stitch, place 1 dc in the last stitch, turn
Repeat rows 2 through 9 until you have 65 (69, 73, 77) rows.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Sewing and finishing up the Crochet Top
Now fold the 2 rectangles in half.
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.
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.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
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!
