This pattern requires techniques as single crochet, half double crochet, chain stitches and working in rounds
The Top is worked top-down. An elastic band is used for the neck line. Being on shoulders top, the elastic band helps the top not to slip.
The elastic band has to be with about 20 cm smaller than the shoulders circumference.
The top has an oversized fit, with a positive ease of 10 cm around bust circumference after blocking.
Because of the mesh stitch used, the top requires blocking. After blocking the top will be with about 5 cm bigger in width and length.
The pattern is available in 8 sizes, from Small to 5X Large and is written in US terms
