Crochet women’s lace summer top – red sage stitch crochet pattern
Step-by-step crochet instructions
Step 1
Start crocheting from the top to bottom.
Make a foundation chain of 117 chs or multiples of 3 chs (I count all the loops including the loop on my hook).
Step 2
1st row (right side) – h3ch, inc1, dc to last one ch; inc1 + RC1
Red sage pattern
2nd row (wrong side) – h2ch, hdc3, [sk2, (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) into 1 ch] to last 5 chs; sk2, hdc3 + RC1
3rd row – h2ch, hdc3, [(hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1] to last repeat; (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, hdc3 + RC2
4th row – h3ch, dc to end + RC2
(you should have 149 chs)
5th row – h3ch, inc1, dc18, inc1, dc35, inc1, dc37, inc1, dc35, inc1, dc18, inc1 + RC1
(you should have 6 chs more)
Begin crocheting the pattern starting from the 2nd row or
6th row = 2nd row
7th row = 3rd row
8th row = 4th row, but do not work returning chains
Step 3
Front part
Count 25 chs from the beginning of your last row (8th row) and attach the yarn.
1st row (right side) – ch2, inc1 into sm.ch, dc24, dc24 on the other end of the 8th row, inc1 + RC2
2nd row – h3ch, inc1, dc to 1 last ch; inc1 + RC2
Repeat the 2nd row increasing 2 chs in each row until the front piece become wide enough to a half of your chest circumference.
3 – 6 rows = 2nd row
7th row = 2nd row, but do not work RCs
Step 4
Back part
Skip 50 chs from both sides of the front part and place markers. These will be shoulder parts. Use the remaining 51 chs for the back part.
1st row (right side) – ch2, inc1 into sm.ch, dc to last 1 ch; inc1 + RC2
2 – 7 rows = 2nd row of the front part
Step 5
Join back and front parts together
8th row (wrong side) – h3ch, inc1, dc to 1 last ch; inc1, inc1 into 1st ch of the front part, dc to last 1ch; inc1 + sl.st.1 into 3rd ch
Step 6
Double crochet in the round
Flip the garment to the right side
1st round – ch3, dc to end + sl.st.1 into 3rd ch
2 – 6 rounds = 1st round (dc until you reach underbust)
7th round = 1st round, but work sl.st.1 into 4th ch
Step 7
Red sage pattern in the round
Use a smaller size crochet hook. You should have mult. of 6 chs
8th round – ch3, sk2, [(hdc1, ch1, Cl1) into 1 ch, ch1, sk2, hdc1, ch1, sk2] to last 3 chs; (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) into 1 ch, ch1, sk2 + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
9th round – ch3, [(Cl1, ch1, hdc1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc1 above hdc of prev. round, ch1] to last repeat; (Cl1, ch1, hdc1) under ch of repeat, ch1 + sl.st1 into 2nd ch
10th round – ch3, [(hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc1 above hdc of prev. round, ch1] to last repeat; (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1 + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
11th round = 9th round
Step 8
Increase every other hdc
12th round – ch3, [(hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 above hdc of prev. round, ch1, (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc1 above hdc of prev. round, ch1] to last repeat; (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 above hdc of prev. round, ch1, (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1 + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
13th round – ch3, [(Cl1, ch1, hdc1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 between hdc2 of prev. round, ch1, (Cl1, ch1, hdc1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc1 above hdc of prev. round, ch1] to last repeat; (Cl1, ch1, hdc1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 between hdc2 of prev. round, ch1, (Cl1, ch1, hdc1) under ch of repeat, ch1 + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
14th round – ch3, [(hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 between hdc2 of prev. round, ch1, (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc1 above hdc of prev. round, ch1] to last repeat; (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 between hdc2 of prev. round, ch1, (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1 + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
15th round = 13th round
Step 9
Increase every hdc
16th round – ch3, [(hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 between hdc2 of prev. round, ch1, (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 above hdc of prev. round, ch1] to last repeat; (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 between hdc2 of prev. round, ch1, (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc1 into last ch + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
17th round – ch3, [(Cl1, ch1, hdc1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 between hdc2 of prev. round, ch1] to last repeat; [(Cl1, ch1, hdc1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc1 into last ch + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
18th round – ch3, [(hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc2 between hdc2 of prev. round, ch1] to last repeat; (hdc1, ch1, Cl1) under ch of repeat, ch1, hdc1 into last ch + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
19th round = 17th round
Step 10
Use a larger size crochet hook
Alternate 17th and 18th rounds until you reach the desired length of the garment.
Step 11
Edges
For all edges work sc to end, including neck, armholes, and bottom.

Hi Luz,

Hi Luz,
I meant to combine two patterns. First, dc in the round to underbust or to about your elbows, and then work Red Sage pattern until you reach the desired length of the sleeves. Happy crochet!

Hi Luz,

Hi Luz,
I would advise you to measure from the shoulder down to about your elbow as well as your row/round height. Then estimate how many rounds you need to crochet to that measurement accordingly. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana,my armholes are big,

Hi Sana,my armholes are big, I'm just thinking to do some decreasing before I do dc, do you think it's ok? I'm just excited to finish it. I'm still crocheting the sage pattern on my body.Pls. advise.Thanks.

Hi Luz,

Hi Luz,
I love your blouse. It looks very good with sleeves. Congratulations!

Hi Sana, I love it too, by

Hi Sana, I love it too, by the way I just want to ask you where do you buy your Bernat cotton-ish yarns if you don't mind. Because I checked Walmart they're out of stock. thanks.

I used to buy the yarn in

I used to buy the yarn in JoAnn (craft store), but I do not see this yarn on shelves any more for some reason. I believe you may still purchase it on-line (joann.com).
