The olive top is a milkmaid-style top that can be made cropped or long. It includes features such as a bust section that may be made fitted or gathered, ties along the underbust and sleeves (& optional ties along the neckline and lower back to cinch the waist). This design is a simple coquette top that you can pair with anything in your closet <3

The pattern will include: written instructions, photo instructions (step-by-step), a full video tutorial on how to make the sleeves, & links to YouTube videos that may be helpful while you work on your olive top. You can also always contact me on Instagram by.redbean or email at byredbean@gmail.com if you have any further questions.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A PATTERN PDF; NOT A PHYSICAL ITEM.

Notes:

• Language: English
• Terminology: US
• Level of difficulty: intermediate crocheters & up!
• Skills: basic crochet stitches, increasing/decreasing, light seaming along shoulders, & i-cord (you may use a ribbon instead).
• This pattern is made-to-measure to ensure that the garment will fit you how you’d like. Therefore, there are no exact stitch or row counts in the pattern. However, you will be guided to measure yourself, and then you will use these measurements as a guide to make sure the top fits you perfectly.

Materials:
☆ Recommended yarn: sport weight yarn (size 2). I used 550g/875m of Hobbii Olivin yarn in the color Olive (16). PS, I do not recommend this yarn as it lacks stretch. Please use yarn that has stretch (soft cottons & cotton blends typically have good stretch). Please see tester photos to estimate how much yarn you will need.
☆ Recommended hook size: 3mm hook or any hook that matches the yarn weight/size you’re using.
☆ Tape measure, scissors, yarn needle & stitch markers.
