The Dahlia Top is a made to measure crocheted top, with a v-neck and bell sleeves. The design is very customisable - you can change the length of the top, the fit of the v-neck and much more to your liking! The pattern is suitable for beginners.

Construction
You will start by crocheting the front and back panels. Then you will seam these together and crochet the sleeves directly onto the panels. The panels are crocheted using hdc and the sleeves using dc (US terminology).

Gauge
Since this is a made to measure pattern, gauge is not necessary. To get the correct measurements, you will measure your body and crochet depending on that. You can use whatever yarn and hook size you prefer. In the testers lookbook you will see how Dahlia Tops made using different yarns look.
For orientation: I used around 400g (960m) of Lang Yarns Quattro Dégradé for my top. I had a gauge of 16 stitches x 16 rows = 10x10cm using a 3.5mm hook.

Size Options
You can crochet this top in any size. Since it is made to fit your measurements, there is no limitation regarding the size. This pattern was tested by testers in the sizes XS-2XL.
