Introducing the Circle Leaf Crochet Pattern Collection — a curated bundle of video-supported, size-inclusive garments (XS–5X) built around my Circle Leaf Stitch. These patterns look complex, but they’re a breeze to follow — even if you’ve never made a garment before.

The Circle Leaf Lace Summer Top is a simple, chic crochet piece that’s perfect for effortless summer style.

Worked in one seamless piece using the delicate and textured Circle Leaf Stitch, this top is light, lacy, and a dream to wear. With its relaxed, breezy fit and size-inclusive design, it’s ideal for layering over a vest or wearing on its own. Dress it up or keep it casual—this versatile top is a go-to staple for warm days, holiday outfits, and everything in between.

The Circle Leaf Crochet Summer Top is worked seamlessly in one piece from the top down. It starts with neck ribbing joined in the round, followed by a shaped yoke with increases. Stitches are then split for the flutter sleeves and body, which is worked in the round. An optional bottom ribbing adds a polished finish.

A video tutorial is included with this pattern.
