Sirdar Lace Me Up Tube Top Crochet Pattern

Sirdar Lace Me Up Tube Top in Stories

What Is Being Made

The Sirdar Lace Me Up Tube Top (Design No. 10831) is a fashionable crochet tube top designed for summer wear. This sleeveless garment features a fitted silhouette and is available in seven sizes ranging from XS to XXXL, with finished chest measurements from 71 cm to 137 cm (28 to 54 inches). The design is inspired by the colours and textures of the Italian coast, specifically the Amalfi aesthetic, making it a contemporary piece suitable for warm-weather styling.

Difficulty Level and Pattern Format

This is an easy crochet pattern classified as a beginner-friendly project, making it accessible to crocheters new to garment construction. The pattern is provided as a downloadable PDF document and includes detailed measurements, yarn requirements, and step-by-step instructions. Sirdar, an established British company founded in West Yorkshire in 1880, triple-checks all patterns to guarantee successful outcomes when using their recommended yarns.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

While specific stitch details are referenced in the pattern document, the design employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The "lace me up" element of the design suggests the incorporation of openwork or decorative stitch patterns that create visual interest while maintaining the tube silhouette. The construction method allows for a garment that keeps its shape throughout wear and washing, a key benefit of the yarn choice.

Materials: Yarn and Tools

The Sirdar Lace Me Up Tube Top is designed to be made using Sirdar Stories yarn in Double Knitting (DK) weight. Each ball contains 50 grams of yarn. The pattern calls for seven coordinating shades of Sirdar Stories, with one ball of each colour required across all sizes:

• Yarn A: Shade 845 Chill
• Yarn B: Shade 846 Cloud Nine
• Yarn C: Shade 836 Invite
• Yarn D: Shade 844
• Yarn E: Shade 827
• Yarn F: Shade 842
• Yarn G: Shade 847

Sirdar Stories is a cotton-rich blend that delivers the aesthetic and breathability of cotton in a lighter weight than traditional cotton yarn. This fibre composition is specifically engineered to help fashionable makes maintain their shape, making it ideal for fitted garments like this tube top. The DK weight provides excellent stitch definition for crochet work while remaining lightweight for summer comfort.
