This pattern is made-to-measure so it can suit any body shape and sizes. You can choose to make this in any length. You can also make it fitted, loose fit or flared; it’s your top or dress, your choice. Last but not least, use any yarn you like and you don’t have to meet my gauge.

Main stitch used is double crochet post stitches i.e. front post dc and back post dc in a combination and a few other “special” stitches which are detailed in the instructions, photos and video tutorials.

The are a few body measurements you need to take and input into an auto-calculation table in Google Spreadsheet that will create a customised pattern in terms of number of stitches, rows to make etc.

Details of my first two makes (Burnt Orange long one and Neutral short aysmmetrical one) are as below:
Usual size - S
Short - Crocheted by Carisse 12-ply fine cotton yarn, sport weight, 198g, about 634m with 4.5mm hook.
Long - Generic cotton yarn, 243g, about 789m with 5.5mm hook.

This pattern is tagged as intermediate level due to the sequencing of the stitches which might be challenging for a beginner.
