This pattern is written using metric measurements and US crochet terminology.

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

This pattern contains both visual and written instructions, as well as a diagram to make it possible for anyone to follow.

This pattern has is a made to measure pattern, with reference on how to size according to your own measurements and within your own gauge (your gauge does not have to match my gauge)

This pattern is worked with a smaller hook size than recommended on the Vinnis Colours yarn label, in order to minimize gaping between the stitches when the top is worn
