Yoga Top is worked in the Tunisian crochet entrelac technique. Each element of the top is small enough to place all of your stitches on a regular crochet hook.

The top is started at the bottom and worked up to the armholes in rounds of squares with the right side always facing up. The upper portion (starting from the armholes) is worked separately, side to side.

The pattern assumes basic familiarity with Tunisian crochet, specifically how each row is worked as two separate passes and how to work the Tunisian simple stitch. Find Tunisian crochet glossary at www.msweaver.com/tutorials/tunisian-crochet/.
