Morena Crochet Winter Top

The Morena Winter Top is a sleeveless jumper featuring a soft, relaxed turtleneck. Designed for comfort and drape, it is naturally slightly shorter in the front and longer in the back for a gentle, flowing shape, but the length is fully adjustable so you can customise both panels to suit your style. Worked entirely with a crochet hook, this garment is constructed from two simple panels that require no sewing. Once the panels are joined with crochet, the turtleneck is added directly into the neckline for a smooth, seamless finish.

The stitch pattern repeats in steady, textured rows, making this project both quick and satisfying to work up. Versatile and elegant, the Morena Winter Top layers beautifully over an office shirt and trousers, pairs effortlessly with a long-sleeve top for cosy casual days, or can be worn lightly over a vest during spring or autumn.

You can use any yarn you like as long as you reach the gauge indicated in the pattern.

If you find yourself between sizes, I’d suggest selecting the larger size. It’s always better to have a garment that’s slightly loose-fitting than one that’s too tight.
