This empire waist shell is created in Tunisian crochet using easy-care Gems 100% merino wool. You will also need a size I regular crochet hook to do the finishing around the armholes, neckline, and hem.

It is easy to alter the length between the hem and waist, or between the waist and armholes. Simply add more rows for a longer length.

The top looks great by itself or over a blouse.
