This crochet top feels great to wear. It gives you just that extra bit of warmth. It’s a super comfy top and has little ease. Usually I wear size M/L but because I like a loose fit, I made an XL version.

The pattern is written for 7 different sizes from XS to XXXL to fit bust cm 71-76, 81-88, 91-98, 102-107, 112-117, 122-127, 131-137

You’ll start with making a front- and back panel from the bottom up. First you’ll make the ribbing and when you’ve finished making the panels, you sew them together.

Then you’ll make two sleeves. They’re worked in rows again from the bottom up, starting with the cuff. You sew them together over the length of the sleeve. After finishing them you’ll attach them to the body.

The pattern is suitable for the adventurous beginner. I’ve made a photo tutorial to make it easier. One tip: watch your gauge! Some crocheters tend to crochet looser after a while.
