The top is constructed from two rectangular panels worked from the bottom up. The panels are joined at the shoulders, and the sleeves are then worked directly onto the armhole openings. The sleeves are worked flat in rows and seamed together at the end along with the side seams of the body. Change yarn color every two rows to achieve the striped effect shown in the photos. The entire garment is worked in rows. No increases or decreases are required. The garment is designed with a relaxed fit and positive ease.

Some notes before starting:
• The top is worked from the bottom up.
• This pattern uses US crochet terminology.
• The color palette is completely customizable. Feel free to use fewer colors or choose different shades to create your own unique version. Just remember to change colors every two rows to maintain the pattern sequence.
• The foundation chain may be adjusted to your preferred size. Since the garment has a relaxed fit, the width of each panel should be slightly larger than half of your bust circumference.
• If you crochet tightly, consider using a 4.0 mm hook for the foundation chain and foundation row.
• This pattern is worked with a constant stitch count from beginning to end. Every row should contain the same number of stitches and pattern repeats as the previous row.
