🧥 Pattern Overview:

This top is made by crocheting two rectangles (front and back) and two sleeves, then seaming them together.

✅ Step 1: Gauge Swatch

To ensure a good fit, make a swatch:

• Gauge: 13 hdc stitches x 10 rows = 4″x4″
  Adjust hook size if needed.

✅ Step 2: Create Body Panels (Make 2)

(Front and Back are identical rectangles)

Foundation Chain:

• Ch enough to match your desired width:

  • S: 60 ch

  • M: 66 ch

  • L: 72 ch

  • XL: 78 ch

  • 2XL: 84 ch
    (Each chain = ~0.5 inches)

Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Turn.
Row 2 – X: Ch 1, hdc in each st across. Turn.

➡️ Continue until your panel reaches desired length (e.g., 20–25 inches for cropped to full-length).

✅ Step 3: Create Sleeves (Make 2)

Foundation Chain:

• Ch ~36 (or desired sleeve width – measure bicep)

Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch and across. Turn.
Repeat rows until sleeve reaches desired length (e.g., 16–20 inches)

To create a slight taper:

• Optional: Decrease 1 stitch at the beginning and end every 6 rows.

✅ Step 4: Assembly

1. Seam Shoulders:

   • Place panels together (right sides facing).

   • Use mattress stitch or whip stitch to seam shoulders, leaving a head hole in the center.

2. Attach Sleeves:

   • Pin sleeves to arm openings and seam them across the shoulders.

3. Side Seams:

   • Fold sweater in half, right sides facing.

   • Seam from underarm to bottom edge on both sides.

   • Seam sleeves closed from underarm to cuff.

✅ Step 5: Finishing Touches

Neckline (Optional):

• Join yarn at neckline and sc or hdc around for 2–3 rounds to create a neat edge.

Bottom Hem & Sleeves:

• Work 1–2 rounds of sc or hdc around for a clean edge.

Weave in all ends. Block if desired.
