Hello everyone! ☀️

If you are looking for the ultimate summer project, you’ve found it! I am so excited to share my latest design with you: a Terracotta Lace Mesh Crochet Top. This piece is lightweight, breathable, and has a beautiful drape that makes it perfect for layering over a tank top or even using as a beach cover-up.

A Chic and Versatile Design

As you can see from the photos, the intricate geometric lace pattern gives it a high-end, boutique look. I chose this warm terracotta color because it glows beautifully in the sun, whether you’re strolling through a garden or walking along the shore.

The best part? This pattern is surprisingly easy to follow once you get the rhythm of the lace repeat!

I’ve had so many requests for a pattern, so I decided to film the entire process! I’ve uploaded a comprehensive, step-by-step video tutorial to my YouTube channel. In the video, I show you exactly how to create this lace structure, how to manage the neckline, and how to get that perfect sleeve length.
