Oversized Fit for a Comfy Day

This sweater is crocheted top down, so you can customize the fit as you go. The Sunday Funday Top is oversized, with up to 8″ of positive ease – for a slimmer fit, go down a size! Prefer something longer? Just add more rows (to both the front and back)! This easy mesh stitch pattern is ready for any personalization you want to throw at it – stripes, appliques, add rows or sleeves – I can’t wait to see what you do with this one!

NOTES:

This pattern includes up to 8″ of positive ease, based on the bust measurement. For a slimmer fit, chose one size down.

The length of this top is totally customizable – just add more repeats of the last 2 rows. Be sure to adjust the length of both the front and back to match – or go longer in the back if desired!

It is strongly recommended that you try on your top before weaving in the ends from the side seams and adding the edging so that you can see just how long the fabric hangs and adjust both the length of the top and the length of the side vents. Remember that crochet grows with gravity!

If desired, substitute a Chainless Starting Double Crochet (CSDC) and ch 1 for the Ch 4 beginning the even-numbered rows, and a CSDC for the Ch 3 beginning the odd-numbered rows.

If desired, substitute a Standing Double Crochet (STDC) for the ch-3 whenever adding a new color or skein of yarn at the beginning of a row.
