This garment features negative ease – the chest measurement is 2 inches smaller than the actual body chest measurement. The fit is snug from the shoulders to the elbows, providing a fitted look in the upper arms. Below the elbows and through the torso, the fit loosens, offering a comfortable and relaxed feel.

This unique crochet top stands out by using an unusually large hook for thinner yarn. Mesh technique creates a beautifully airy stitch pattern, giving the garment an elegant drape and fluidity. Constructed bottom up, with slight bell sleeves the design incorporates both rounds and rows, providing an interesting and engaging project for crocheters of all levels. This top is perfect for layering over a solid tight t-shirt, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe.
