I’ve been planning this crochet long sleeve top for a long time. Something romantic with roses - that’s what I wanted. I’ve been working on it about a year. It is the longest project I ever done. It was interrupted by many other projects, it was redesigned several times. And at the end of it all I can say it’s making me so happy to see the result.

Due to its complexity I wrote the longest description I ever done - 60 pages with huge amounts of photos. I made pictures and described each and every step, so I’m pretty sure it can’t be unclear. Every time I make a pattern I do all my best to make everything as simple as possible. Even if you are doubting your crochet experience, I’m fairly certain this pattern is intended to guide you through the working process with the best result possible of.
