This customizable pattern is perfect for any weather! Make this into a lightweight, lacy top for summer, or, make this with wool and mohair for a vintage-inspired sweater look!

The pattern allows you to customize the amount of ease, the fit (waist shaping vs. straight), the neckline (scooped/squared vs crew), and the body/sleeve length!

Difficulty Level:  Intermediate 
Experience with lace stitching is recommended but not required.

This item is a PDF, Made-to-Measure (M2M) crochet pattern. The Auto-Calculating Google Sheet version can be found on my website: maelidesigns.net

M2M vs. Google Sheets:

Auto-Calculating Google Sheet version is great for people who want the perfect fit! It takes your gauge and calculates how many stitches to make for your preferred size! This option is great for those who don’t want to do any math or don’t like the “guesswork” that comes with made-to-measure patterns. Some experience using Google Drive is recommended, but not required. M2M is great for those who would rather not use Google Sheets! It’s written like a normal PDF made-to-measure pattern with some light math and rounding to the nearest multiple to calculate how big to make your garment for your preferred size!

This pattern was tested by testers with chest sizes ranging from 28 - 54 inches; however, it can be made smaller or larger.
