PATTERN:

The front part with sequins.

NOTE: The top is crocheted in size M, designed to be worn under a shirt or turtleneck top, although the model typically wears size S. It is crafted from the top-down, comprising two halves: the front and the back. The front part will be adorned with sequins, while the back part will remain plain. It’s worth noting that the back part will be slightly smaller than the front part, which is intentional. This size variation accommodates the natural contour of the body, considering that the bust area may be fuller, especially for those with a bra size larger than D.

The number of chain stitches is a multiple of 3+4.

S – 28 chs, (M – 34 chs), L – 40 chs, XL – 46 chs, 2XL – 52 chs, 3XL – 58 chs, 4XL-5XL – 64 chs
