The Nami top

The Nami top is a made to measure and size inclusive pattern, it is an intermediate design, however the pattern is explained in a lot of detail with pictures throughout. Therefore I believe it is also suitable for a advanced beginner. You can make a the short-sleeved version of this top or the flared long-sleeved version. The pattern has instructions on both. You will need any type of 4ply fingering weight cotton yarn in 1 or as many colours as you desire. I used 150g/255m roughly for a size small (UK 8). You will also need a 3.5mm crochet hook and some stitch markers. The top section is made with 2 panels (front and back) that are seamed together, the sleeves are worked in continuous rounds, this means you d not turn your work. This design is very versatile, you can decide yourself whether you prefer longer sleeves or sleeveless. You can also decide whether you like to keep the edging around the neck wavy or straight.
