The perfect summer top was designed by Anna Erlandsson of Hookedbyanna.com and comes is 5 sizes from Extra Small to Extra Large. It is crocheted seamlessly, top down, and the pattern includes photo tutorials to help even a relative beginner succeed.
The top is crocheted in worsted weight (Size 4) cotton. Nana recommends Paintbox Cotton Aran as the perfect yarn to make the summer top. For a massive range of rainbow colors- 52 to be exact, the Paintbox Cotton Aran yarn will not disappoint. Ideal for crocheting clothes for the kids, for grown-ups as well as home textiles, this bold, machine-washable worsted weight yarn has as many uses as your imagination can stretch to. The skeins include 93yds (85m) of yarn.
To make the perfect summer top, you will need the following supplies:
- 350 – 550 m, or 385-600 yards of worsted cotton yarn. Check the pattern for the amount needed for your size. If using Paintbox Cotton Aran you will need 4 balls for XS, 5 balls for size S and M, 6 balls for size L and 7 for XL.
- 5 mm crochet hook, or hook needed to meet gauge
- Yarn needle

Hola amiga deseo saber cuantos puntos utilizar para hacer la bluza beige en talla XL. Me ayudarías mucho si pudiera tener el patrón mil gracias, me encantan tus tejidos.
Buenos dias, the pattern is written in 5 sizes. The XL instructions are the last in the parenthesis. The pattern starts with ch 102 (108, 114, 120, 126), so you will begin with 126 chain stitches. Espero haberte ayudado. Me gustaría ver tu blusa terminada. Gracias!
