The Eris Lace Top by Enida Avdic from yarnS design is a delicate, fitted crochet garment perfect for spring and summer wear—or layering during cooler months. This top is both elegant and versatile, offering extensive customization options to adjust the length, fit, and sleeve style to suit your style.
Constructed in two main panels (front and back), the Eris Lace Top is worked flat and then seamed. You can also add sleeves, which come with styling options: choose between bell sleeves, straight sleeves, or even cap sleeves, depending on your desired finish. The pattern uses mostly double crochet stitches, with a central lace panel on the front and a full lace pattern on the back, creating a beautifully balanced design that’s both breathable and form-fitting.
The recommended yarn is Soft Bamboo Fine, a fingering weight (#1) yarn made from 70% bamboo, 23% cotton, and 7% acrylic, held together in two strands. This yarn is lightweight, cool against the skin, and has natural elasticity—ideal for the negative ease this top is designed with. Because bamboo yarn stretches when worn and after blocking, blocking is essential for achieving the correct fit.
You'll need a 3 mm crochet hook for the main construction. Depending on your personal tension, you may need to size up or down to match the pattern gauge. Instructions also include guidance for using other fibers, such as cotton, which may require sizing up and using a slightly larger hook to accommodate for the lack of stretch.
The Eris Lace Top pattern is written in US terms and is available in a wide size range—from XXS to 5XL. The bust measurements range from 73–160 cm (28.7–63 inches), ensuring an inclusive fit. The pattern includes detailed instructions for customizing bust width, panel length, sleeve width, and more, making it beginner-intermediate friendly with plenty of room for creative interpretation.
Whether you’re making a cropped summer top or an elegant long-sleeved lace blouse, the Eris Lace Top is a truly stunning piece that highlights both your crochet skills and your personal style.
