Jules top and dress

[No need to match gauge, crochet with any yarn - Includes automatic stitches calculator] Jules is actually a sleeveless top that can be worn as a vest too. It is constructed with continuous rows (yes, that's mean less cutting and no sewing, because I am suck at sewing too). The stitches are easy and repetitive, which also means it is beginners friendly. and with the supplementary excel spreadsheet, you don't have to do the math~ p.s: if you are familiar with my design, you will know that I hate counting stitches, and I always choose basic stitches because I love working on easy stitches or something that can be worked on while binge watching your favorite series.

Materials & tools needed: • Any COTTON YARN / MORE STRUCTURED YARN #1 fingering weight yarn / #2 Sport weight yarn • Respective crochet hook for any weight yarn that you choose and one size larger hook. • Scissors • Stitch markers • Measuring tape / ruler Yarn recommendation: Based on my measurement, I used: - approximately 180gr of #2 sport weight yarn - WPI 16 (#1 fingering weight silk cotton blend yarn - color: jade, triple pulled with 1 strand of Glitter yarn and 1 strand of sequin yarn) - approximately 110gr of #1 fingering weight cotton blend glitter yarn - WPI 22, color: white silver if you used pure cotton yarn you might need to double the amount, as pure cotton yarn is heavier than cotton blend yarn. Yarn recommendation: - DO NOT USE acrylic, acrylic blend, milk cotton yarn (I have tried it with milk cotton yarn and the result is too stretchy and flimsy, it doesn’t have the fit that I am aiming for) - Pure cotton yarn will form crisp and more constructed piece - Do not use any yarn that is too silky, too stretchy or too flimsy Crochet hook reference: - Top with triple pulled #1 fingering weight yarn (jade color) : I used 4.00 mm hook for FC and 3.50 mm hook for the panels - Top with #1 fingering weight yarn (white silver color): I used 2.50 mm hook for FC and 2.00 mm for the panels do not size up your hook, this pattern works better with tighter tension.
