Lanes Crochet Top

This garment is crocheted top-down with no sewing. It starts with the collar, followed by some short row shaping. The yoke is a modified compound-raglan, split into three parts: chest increases, sleeves increases, and underarm shaping. After splitting for sleeves, the body is worked up and finished with optional ribbing. Then the two sleeves, short or long, are added with some decreases for a taper fit. Because of the top-down construction, the length of the body and sleeves is very customizable. Make it a cozy sweater by choosing a wool yarn, ribbing, and long sleeves, or make it a comfy tee by choosing a cotton yarn, no ribbing, and short sleeves, or make any combo you like! The pattern includes 9 sizes ranging from XS to 5XL. The three part raglan can be mixed and matched for each part to get a more custom fit. See image of schematic for more details about sizing and yarn estimations.
