The pattern features everything you need to smoothly crochet your top, whether you’re following the chosen size layout or adjusting it to your liking.
Inside, you’ll find measurement spreadsheets and layouts for both child and adult versions, charts, written instructions, and guidance on modifying this top. Additionally, there’s a photo tutorial on as-you-go joining the sides.
