Hello! Thank you for purchasing this pattern! This cute sunflower top is one of my favorite original designs. It is meant to be fitted and tied at the front, with a cute loose ruffle hem that can be adapted for a shorter or longer cut, even to a dress length. It is ideal for summer days, particularly for casual and party events, but it can also be worn during the cooler spring or even autumn days with a cozy jacket or cardigan worn over it.

This pattern uses a mix of half double crochets (hdc), triple crochet (tr), cluster and puff stitches using double crochet stitches (dc) for the sunflowers. It also uses more advanced techniques like working in the round, and joining as you go, making this pattern perfect for an intermediate or advanced crocheter (or an adventurous beginner!). The pattern uses US crochet terms and inches, but there is an automatic conversion feature to UK crochet terms and cm.

This pattern has detailed instructions for 8 different sizes for the cups, and 8 sizes for the back panel of the top (sizes work for bra sizes from 28A to 44F), as well as made-to-measure instructions (check the measurements section for a detailed explanation on how to figure out which size to follow based on your measurements).

I hope you have fun crafting this top, and that you enjoy the pattern! If you post your projects based on the pattern on Instagram, feel free to tag me on the post (@rollingyarncrochet), I'd love to see what people make! :)

I would also like to include a massive thank you to all my testers!
