I think it’s time we revisited the subject of ribbon necklaces.  There are still a lot of nice ‘ladder’ type yarns available, but few really great patterns for them.  Then, I found some more ribbon necklaces and a whole new realm of possibilities for such yarns.  The first example here is from a site that has a bunch of different necklace patterns for free.

This pretty and colorful necklace is from a free pattern also.  Easy to work up quickly and a great way to use up an odd skein of ladder or trellis yarn.  If you can make a crochet chain, you can make this necklace.

This is what one of the trellis/ladder yarns looks like on the ball:

And, a quick check at this site will reveal all you need to know to crochet with this yarn. It’s not rocket science, but it can be a bit tricky with some of the yarns if the open spots in them are very long. But, give it a try. In no time, you’ll be crocheting with this yarn like a pro!

Lightweight Lacy Crochet Tee Pattern That’s Perfect for Layering

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
