Honeydew summer top

> [Free blog version.][1] [Etsy listing][2] and > [Yarnandy shop][3]. About the pattern ----------------- This is a beginner Tunisian crochet pattern for a summer top with thin straps. It is worked bottom-up for the body, in a front and back panel, in either a cropped or a full length. Waist shaping is optional. Instructions and an example are given for custom waist shaping. The two pieces are seamed and the armholes and neckband are finished off after seaming. An optional ribbing or small lacy border is added on the bottom. You can work in one color, in stripes, or even insert a graph within the front or back panel. The pattern is written out for all 12 sizes and includes ease (10 cm or 4" at bust and high hip). Instructions for a cropped version are also included. You will choose a size based on the finished garment measurements and follow only the instructions for that size. Use the attached guide or linked tutorials to customize the fit. What you get ------------ There are 3 files included in your purchase. * One file has all the instructions and other details. It includes schematics and photo tutorials. The instructions are print-friendly. * One file is the easy read or low vision version of this. Images have captions. All the text is large and easy to read, including the tables with measurements (see below for exact specifications). * A guide for improving the fit of your garments that you can use for other patterns as well. Measurements ------------ The pattern comes with 12 fully written sizes, ranging in bust between 88-180 cm or 35.25-72". You can easily customize the length of the body by adding or skipping rows. The measurements in the tables attached (see images) are garment measurements and they should all be larger than your body measurements at the same points. Skill level ----------- Beginner - you will work mainly with the Tunisian modified simple stitch. Tunisian reverse purl stitches are used for the optional bottom ribbing.
