The Everflow Tee crochet top is super flowy and comfy for everyday wear. It provides lots of room to move around and is a great layering piece as well as a stand-alone top. I love to wear my top with a bralette or cute cami underneath. As we are gearing up for the fall season here, I love using this piece in layers as well.

I am always a sucker for coziness, especially when it comes to my clothes. I’m the type of person to swap out jeans for sweatpants any day of the week at any time. I love oversized fits and cozy material. With summer coming to an end for this year and fall quickly approaching, I wanted a comfy top I could wear throughout the transition. I was inspired by many of my favorite fashion brands releasing oversized cotton tees. There are so many ways to wear these types of tops and they are easily dressed up or down.

After sketching out what I wanted out of this pattern, I set out to find some comfy cotton yarn and settled on Lion Brand Coboo, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. This yarn has an AMAZING drape and is super comfy to wear. I am already dreaming of my next project with this yarn, whether it be another crochet top or even a lightweight cardigan.

Pin for later!

Assembly:

*You can use whatever method of seaming you are most comfortable with – I prefer the mattress stitch since you cannot see it in the front* 

Place your panels out as seen in the schematic below. You should have your two front panels (panel B’s) facing each other to create a “V” and your back panel (panel A) below. You might want to place a stitch marker at the bottom of the “V” on panel B so you know where to stop seaming and to make sure your panels are lined up.

Seam your front two panels together using a mattress stitch then flip this new panel over so the seam line is facing upwards.

On your back panel, place stitch markers where your sleeves should end (where you will stop seaming). This measurement can be found in the size chart in the “Sleeve Depth” column. The measurement should begin at 0” at the top (shoulder) of the piece and be measured downward toward the bottom of the piece. With stitch markers in place, seam your one-piece front panel to your back panel using mattress stitch again. Make sure you seam so that the seam lines are all on the inside of your top. Repeat this process on both sides. Once done, seam your shoulders together. Seaming for the shoulders begins at the opening of the “V” and ends at the end of the front panel. 

For the sleeves – seam your sleeve panel to your body panel starting at the bottom of the armhole then working your way up and around. Then seam the bottom of your sleeve panel together. Repeat for the other side. 

Weave in all your ends.

Blocking:

Follow the care instructions on your yarn label when blocking. I chose to steam block my piece to loosen and smooth out the stitches. 

That’s it! You’ve now finished your Everflow Tee. I hope you enjoyed this pattern as much as I enjoyed designing it.
