After making too many patterns that didn’t end up the size I’d hoped (who likes to do gauge-checks anyway???), I came up with a pattern that can easily be made to fit any size.

Because this pattern can be made into a top or a dress and made to fit any size, the amount of yarn will vary.

Hook size: Pick your own! I used size K
Yarn: Pick your own! I used 4 balls of Whitsunday (56% cotton, 22% polyester, 22% acrylic) for the green dress pictured.
For size XL dress, 4 skeins of Whitsunday were used. For size S top, approximately 2 skeins of Red Heart Unforgettable are used.

Notes: This pattern is intended to be adaptable to any size, for use with almost any yarn.
