This pattern makes use of Metric measurements and US crochet terms. It is a made to measure pattern.

I use 100% cotton yarn that is light worsted/DK weight, with a 3mm hook.

The strap option that is stipulated in the pattern requires rings and sliders (like bra strap findings).

There is a video tutorial as well as written instructions for the granny squares, for the rest of the top, there are only written instructions.

The gauge for the actual granny squares is 9cm x 9cm.

You will need up to 3 different colours of yarn for the granny squares, as well as your base colour for the entire top. The ‘flower’ parts of the granny squares could be made with yarn scraps.
