Helena Babydoll Top

The Helena Babydoll Top is a made-to-measure crochet babydoll top with a gathered bodice and a flowy babydoll-style lower section. The design is customizable, so you can adjust the fit and length to suit your measurements and style. **The pattern includes:** - 14 pages of detailed instructions -Lots of step-by-step photos -Made-to-measure construction **Size & Fit** This pattern is made to measure, not written in traditional numbered sizes. You’ll use your own body measurements throughout the pattern to determine the width and length of your top. Because of this, the Helena Top can easily be customized for: -Your preferred amount of ease -A more fitted or relaxed bodice -A cropped or longer finished length **Materials** You will need: -Your chosen yarn (100g-200g of fingering weight yarn recommended) -A crochet hook suitable for your yarn and desired fabric (5mm recommended) -Stitch markers -Measuring tape -Scissors -Yarn needle for weaving in ends -Optional: Elastic thread/cord to cinch the underbust **Yarn Requirements:** Because the Helena Babydoll Top is made to measure, exact yardage will vary depending on your measurements, chosen yarn, gauge, desired ease, and finished length. A longer top, larger bust measurement, or fuller/longer babydoll section will naturally require more yarn. For the model photo, I used about 100g of fingering-weight cotton yarn to complete the top, and a 5mm crochet hook. If you use multiple colors, I recommend buying enough yarn from the same dye lot whenever possible.
