The Alea Top is a beginner-friendly, made-to-measure crochet halter top featuring a delicate lace edging and adjustable neck ties. The pattern is worked from the top down: first flat to create the front section, then joined in the round to form the body. The top is finished with a lace border and ties that fasten at the back of the neck.

The pattern is written in sections and includes step-by-step instructions and photos to guide you through the process. Measurements are used instead of fixed stitch counts, making it easy to customize both the circumference and length for your preferred fit.

Sizing: Made-to-measure; suitable for a wide range of body sizes and shapes.

Skill Level: Beginner-friendly. The pattern uses basic crochet stitches and simple repeats.
