The Lexi Top Tunisian Crochet Pattern

Meet the Lexi Top, a lightweight, size-inclusive Tunisian crochet top pattern designed for summer days, warm-weather layering, and everything in between.

Worked in fingering-weight yarn and Tunisian knit stitch, the Lexi features a classic V-neck, sleeveless silhouette, and carefully graded shaping across all 10 sizes. The result is a simple, wearable Tunisian crochet garment that lets your yarn shine while still giving you thoughtful shaping through the neckline, shoulders, and armholes.

The Lexi is worked top down, beginning with the shoulder panels. The front and back are shaped separately before being joined, and the body is then worked in the round. Because you're working from the top down, you can try your Lexi on as you go and easily adjust the body length to suit your preferred fit.

Not ready to work Tunisian crochet in the round? The pattern also includes instructions for working the body flat and seaming the sides.

The sample is made with Lambstrings Yarn Sadie Singles in the colorway Nettle. This beautiful fingering-weight, hand-dyed yarn adds subtle movement and color to the simple Tunisian knit stitch fabric and makes the Lexi especially lovely for summer.
