WHAT IS IT
You get a crochet pattern so you can learn how to crochet a tight-fitted rib top with long or short sleeves – either attached off shoulder or on the shoulder. The shoulder edge has elastic to make sure it fits well and the sleeve doesn’t go anywhere.

The pattern is made to measure so you can make the size, length and sleeve length exactly how you want it.

This is a really simple pattern especially because there are no increases or decreases. Remember to try on as you go, to make sure you get the exact fit you want. For at tighter fit, choose to subtract more, for a more relaxed fit, subtract less.

You will also get a video showing how to attach the sleeves as well as how to insert the elastic. The video is in the pdf as a link.

MATERIALS
2 pieces of elastic (measuring 5 mm in width). Link here (affiliate)
3 mm hook
Cotton & bamboo blend
Size 2/sport/baby
Yardage: 50 g = 118 m

I used 628 m for my long sleeved, off-shoulder top and 254 m for my short sleeved, on shoulder top.
Add/remove 25 g/59 m g for each size (12 cm in width, 0,5 cm in length) going up/down.

You can also use regular cotton in superfine yarn, but try on as you go. I have also used Drops Belle for my green version, here I used a 4,5 mm hook.
