Betty top (#leylas_bettytop) is a quick and simple summer crochet project. It wears well with shorts, pants and skirts, and is suitable for blazing hot summer days on its own, or a layering piece for cooler weather. I have made one for me and one for may daughter, playing differently with contrast colours, but it will look great in one colour, or multiple colours as well – you fantasy is the limit.

The pattern is available for free on my blog, and this is a ad-free pdf version. I love sharing my patterns and knowledge for free, but by buying a paid version you’ll help me support and develop my website, and share more patterns with everyone.

Finished size and measurement
The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm 29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches with approximately 2.5cm/1in negative ease.

So far the pattern has been tested in sizes S, L and 2XL. I’d love to hear from people who make other sizes in regards to sizing feedback - this is my first garment pattern that has been graded to so many different sizes.

I’m of course also open to any other suggestions and comments as well.
