About the pattern: The Antheia Top is a modern, lightweight crochet top featuring a floral-inspired center motif that flows seamlessly into a flattering, airy fabric.

Designed for comfort and versatility, this top is made to measure, allowing for a customised fit that suits different body shapes and personal style preferences. It can be worn as a spring/ summer staple on its own or layered for a stylish transitional piece.

Sizing: This pattern follows a made-to-measure approach, whilst also including sized patterns and stitch counts for standard sizes, meaning you can create a perfect fit. The smallest recommended bust size starts at 28 inches, with instructions provided to adjust for any size.

Gauge: Gauge is not crucial for this pattern due to the made-to-measure method, but for reference, a 10cm x 10cm (4” x 4”) swatch in the main stitch pattern should measure approximately 14 stitches by 8 rows using the suggested yarn and hook.
