Mallory Mock Neck

This is the Mallory Mock Neck crochet pattern! When purchasing this pattern on Etsy you will get access to a PDF with written instructions on how to make this top yourself, as well as a lookbook containing pictures and some useful information from the lovely people that tested this pattern! It is an intermediate-friendly pattern that mainly uses yarn-over slip stitches, half double crochets and single crochets. This top is intended to have quite a bit of negative ease, but by going up or down a size you can easily adjust to your preferred ease. As you can see in the lookbook PDF there is a wide range of ease amongst the testers, making the top fit in different ways! Below you'll find some technical information about this pattern: SIZING - This is a graded pattern with 9 sizes based on measurements from the Women Size Chart by the Craft Yarn Council. - The chest circumference of the *top* for sizes (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) is: (59,69,79,89,101,111,121,129,139) cm or [23,27,31,35,40,44,47,51,55] inches. - The top is meant to have 12-19 cm (4.7-7.1 inches) of negative ease, meaning that it should be smaller than your body and fit quite tightly. - The length of the top can easily be adjusted by doing more/less starting chains. MATERIALS USED - Crochet hook 3.5 mm (or hook needed to obtain gauge) - Fingering weight (weight 1) cotton or cotton blend yarn - I used Mandarin Petit by Sandnes Garn (180 m/50 g) - For sizes (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) you'll need approximately (430,515,610,700,825,925,1040,1140,1265)m of yarn. - Blocking mat/towel + pins - Yarn needle/Darning needle - Measuring tape - Stitch markers - Scissors TECHNIQUES USED (US TERMINOLOGY) - Chain(s) – ch(s) - Slip stitch(es) – slst(s) - Yarn over slip stitch(es) – yoslst(s) - Half double crochet(s) – hdc(s) - Single crochet(s) – sc(s) - End of row – eor - Back loop only – blo - Front loop only – flo GAUGE - 10x10 cm (4x4 inches) = 22 stitches x 16 rows - The gauge swatch is made using a 4 row repeat of one row hdc+sc in blo and three rows yoslsts in flo/blo. DIFFICULTY - 3/5 - The top is made in two panels that are then attached at the seams - The main stitch combo is repeated throughout the pattern and although is can be a little tricky if you're not used to it, you'll soon get the hang of it and hopefully find it really fun to work up!
