No need to match gauge, crochet with any yarn - Includes automatic stitches calculator

Say hello to the reversible and versatile, Valli top!
Yes, you heard it, it is REVERSIBLE~ If you have been following my design journey,
you will know that I always try to incorporate a versatility to each baby <3

Made up from basic stitches, this top will work up in a flash!

About this pattern:
• Pattern is written in English with standard US terms.
• This crochet pattern that works in rows.
• As I am a right-handed, this pattern is written with right-handed crocheters in mind, left-handed crocheters should crochet in different direction).
• This top is REVERSIBLE, you can always choose which side you want as a front and back.
• This is a made to measure pattern, you can always adjust the size and length according to your preference (some of my testers make it as a super cropped top, and it looks so good imo)
• Testers’ lookbook download link can be found inside the PDF FILE (you may refer to the testers’ lookbook for yarn usage).
• This pattern includes EXCEL calculator that will help you calculate the Foundation chain (excel file link can be found in the PDF File)

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A DIGITAL
CROCHET PATTERN AND TUTORIAL ONLY,
NOT A FINISHED ITEM / PRODUCT.
There will be NO physical item, product, material or tools to be send.
All the pattern and instruction is written in English, using standard US terms.

Materials & tools needed:
• Any #1 fingering weight yarn / #2 Sport weight yarn / #3 DK weight yarn
Based on my measurement, I used:

• approximately 120gr of #1 fingering weight cotton yarn (WPI 25)
• approximately 200gr of #3 DK weight cotton yarn (WPI 14)

Yarn recommendation:

• Cotton yarn will form crisp and more constructed piece, acrylic yarn create more soft and fluffy piece.
• Yarn that is soft and silky will form more airy piece (e.g: bamboo cotton yarn, silk yarn).

• Respective crochet hook for any weight yarn that you choose and one size larger hook.
(use larger size hook to make foundation chain, because this trick helps a lot to make sure that your panel will not turn wider along the way)

• Top with #1 fingering weight yarn : I used 2.50 mm hook for FC and 2.00 mm hook for everything else
• Top with #3 DK weight yarn : I used 4.50 mm hook for FC and 4.00 mm hook for everything else • Scissors • Stitch markers • Measuring tape / ruler • One piece of button (diameter: 0.8 cm – 1.4 cm). Adding button is optional, you can choose no-button version to substitute the button. Tips: you can choose any button that has around 0.8cm – 1.4cm diameter, but mushroom type pearl button will elevate the whole look of your top.

As it is a made to measure pattern, I include my gauge just for reference,
please STRETCH THE SWATCH when you measure the gauge
• #1 fingering weight cotton yarn (2.00mm hook),
10cm x 10cm swatch (stretched) = 20 dc x 12 rows
• #3 DK weight cotton yarn (4.00mm hook),
10cm x 10cm swatch (stretched) = 14 dc x 7 rows
