This listing is for a Crochet Digital Pattern to create a crocheted summer top.

The Austen Summer Top is a top-down design, worked in rows and two panels. These panels are simply joined at the shoulders and sides. The sleeves are formed with a few rows around the armholes, and a crochet waist strap cinches the waist for a CUSTOM FIT. This quick project offers surprising versatility, functioning as both a breezy summer/spring top and a beach cover-up. Best of all, it requires NO SEWING – just crochet – and is detailed with a waist strap and bow, finished with delicate wooden beads.

You can use any yarn you like as long as you will reach the gauge.

Here’s what you’ll love:

• Endless Customization: Choose any yarn weight and colour to match your personal style and wardrobe, you can also do the border or the waist strap in a different colour.

• Sizes: the pattern comes in 6 different sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL) and you will choose the size based on your measurements - sizes indicated below and in the pattern.

• The PDF contains instructions and pictures to show you the process step by step. The PDF offers helpful recommendations for suitable yarn types and estimates the amount of yarn you’ll likely need based on your size. The pattern includes thorough instructions on taking your measurements to ensure a perfect fit.

• The pattern is written in English, using US terminology.

• Crochet skill level: Beginner

• Skills/Stitches required: Chain, Slip Stitch, Single Crochet, Double Crochet.

• The measurement really depends on your size. In the picture you see the shrug in size S. As mentioned above, you will choose the size based on your chest and waist measurements, (instruction on how to take measurements are included in the pattern). Sizes available: XS: Chest 72-76 cm / 28-30 in - Waist 58-61 / 23-24 S: Chest 83-86 cm / 32-34 in - Waist 64-68 / 25-27 M: Chest 93-96 cm / 36-38 in - Waist 71-76 / 28-30 L: Chest 102-106 cm / 40-42 in - Waist 82-86 / 32-34 XL: Chest 113-117 cm / 44-46 in - Waist 92-97 / 36-38 2XL: Chest 125-129 cm / 48-50 in - Waist 102-107 / 40-42

If you find yourself between sizes, I’d suggest selecting the larger size. It’s always better to have a garment that’s slightly loose-fitting than one that’s too tight.
