You can follow the tutorial until the sleeves (the tutorial is for the Pompeii tee, which has short sleeves with ruffles).

The Pompeii Top is a light crocheted top for
warm summer days, or otherwise it is also thin enough to wear comfortably under a sweater or cardigan.

It’s made with 0 positive ease, since the quality of the yarn and the texture means that it is a bit elastic and will expand a little bit.

The construction is top-down and seamless, starting from each shoulder and working down, joining under the armholes. Therefore, the construction is seamless.

You can also make it into a dress by making it longer, however more detailed instructions for this are not included in the pattern.

Difficulty level: Intermediate - the construction may be a bit more complicated, but photos and detailed instructions guide you through the pattern. An advanced beginner and upward could definitely tackle this.

I hope you enjoy making this top, which is named after the impressive ruins of Pompeii, outside Naples! For any support questions, please contact me here or at korallcrochet@gmail.com. I’m always happy to help.
