Create your very own Castilleja Top!

The Castilleja is a made-to-measure crochet pattern with built-in calculators! This means that it can be made to any adult size. First you’ll make a gauge sample with your preferred yarn and hook, and then enter your particular gauge and measurements into my calculators, which will guide you to your ideal fit.

The design includes options for an open or closed neckline, open or closed back, and two different lace trims.

NOTE: you must be able to read diagrams for one small section of the pattern (or be willing to learn)*

So far, I’ve made 5 versions of this design, using Sport (2), DK (3), and Worsted (4) weight yarn. It works up great in all three!

The pattern itself features complete crochet diagrams, written instructions, AND pictures for every single step. While intermediate-advanced crocheters may find it the easiest, I encourage confident beginners to try it as well!

You’ll also receive the Castilleja Tester Lookbook, with some beautiful examples from my testing team <3

The Castilleja was inspired by the beautiful flowers of the Paintbrush plant (Castilleja spp.).
