I’d be happy to help you with a description of a crochet lace top pattern! Keep in mind that I can’t provide you with real-time or the most up-to-date patterns, but I can certainly give you a general idea of what a crochet lace top pattern might involve. Here’s a fictional example:

Crochet Lace Top Pattern

Materials:

  • Sport weight yarn (color of your choice)
  • Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn weight
  • Stitch markers
  • Yarn needle

Size: This pattern is written for sizes Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L). Adjustments for other sizes can be made by altering the stitch counts and measurements accordingly.

Gauge: X stitches and Y rows = 4 inches in lace pattern (gauge is not critical for this project).

Stitches Used:

  • Chain (ch)
  • Single Crochet (sc)
  • Double Crochet (dc)
  • Treble Crochet (tr)
  • Slip Stitch (sl st)

Abbreviations:

  • Ch: chain
  • Sc: single crochet
  • Dc: double crochet
  • Tr: treble crochet
  • Sl st: slip stitch

Instructions:

Front Panel:

Row 1: Ch 80 (90, 100) loosely. In the 4th ch from the hook, work 1 dc. Skip 2 ch, in the next ch work (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) to create a shell. Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with 1 dc in the last ch. Turn.

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc here and throughout), work (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) in the ch-2 space of the previous row’s shell, skip the next 2 dc. Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with 1 dc in the top of the turning ch from the previous row. Turn.

Rows 3-15: Repeat Row 2.

Row 16: Ch 3, work (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) in the ch-2 space of the previous row’s shell, skip the next 2 dc. Repeat twice. *Ch 40 (50, 60) to create the armhole, skip the next 20 (25, 30) stitches, work (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) in the next ch-2 space. Repeat from * to * once, then repeat the first half of the row (up to the first armhole). Turn.

Rows 17-30: Repeat Row 2.

Back Panel:

Follow the same instructions as for the front panel until Row 16.

Row 31: Ch 3, work (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) in the ch-2 space of the previous row’s shell, skip the next 2 dc. Repeat across the row, ending with 1 dc in the top of the turning ch from the previous row. Turn.

Rows 32-45: Repeat Row 31.

Finishing:

  1. Sew the front and back panels together at the shoulder seams using a whipstitch or a preferred method.
  2. Attach yarn at the armhole edge. Work sc stitches evenly around the armhole opening. Repeat for the other armhole.
  3. For the neckline, attach yarn at the center back and work sc stitches evenly around the neckline. You can create a picot edging by working (sc, ch 3, sl st in the first ch, sc in the next st) in one stitch, then skipping a stitch and repeating the picot in the next stitch.
  4. Weave in all loose ends.

Remember, this is just a fictional example of a crochet lace top pattern. The actual pattern you’re looking for might differ in terms of stitch combinations, shaping, and details. Always refer to the specific pattern you’re following for accurate instructions.
