The Hera Top is a beautiful, made-to-measure crop top, great for intermediate crocheters! The bodice, sleeves, and cuffs are all constructed separately and then sewn together. The buttons down the front and cuffs, on top of being a gorgeous detail, prevent the top from stretching out too much and losing its snug fit. I made it with bamboo yarn, which is super soft and breathable, perfect for spring and summer. 

MATERIALS
Yarn: size 3 yarn, I specifically used We Are Knitters Bamboo yarn, and approximately 985 yards (900 meters) of yarn were used.
Hooks: 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 6.5mm 
Other required materials: tapestry/darning needle, sewing needle (for buttons), scissors, stitch markers, ½ inch mother-of-pearl buttons (or any other buttons you have on hand). Sewing thread might be needed if your yarn does not fit into a sewing needle eye.
