Soulfire is a simple summer top made with simple stitches and zero shaping (unless you want to add some during blocking), which makes it quick to crochet and easy to customize for a perfect fit. This design is versatile enough to wear as originally designed, with zero ease, or with LOTS of ease as a boxy top with lots of drape!

STITCHES & TECHNIQUES:

• Single Crochet
• Mattress Stitch or other seaming method

GAUGE:

6.25 stitches and 6 rows in pattern AFTER blocking = 1 inch. Instructions for gauge swatch given in pattern.

Sizes: 32 (34, 36, 38, 42, 46, 50, 54)

Finished Bust Measurements: 32” (34”, 36”, 38”, 42”, 46”, 50”, 54”)

Pattern is designed with zero ease, but can easily be made in a larger size for a boxy top with lots of ease. Fabric is intended to be aggressively blocked and so neck and waist shaping can be added during blocking if desired (please note that this will not work with all yarns!)
