Modification and adjustment:

This sweater is made using raglan style where you assemble 2 identical sleeve and 2 identical body together. 

 If you don't want a heavy and bulky sweater dress, you can use a lighter yarn weight and just follow the steps and use the size measurement above as your guidelines to know how many rows you need to make to get the desired size.

You can also modify this pattern using any stitch you want instead of using extended single crochet and single crochet as the main stitch for your sweater.






I have a problem of keeping beautiful yarns instead of turning it into a project because I love love love beautiful yarns. 

Thanks to KnitCrate for sending me their beautiful hand-dyed yarn which I have been keeping until I decided to make another crop top. 

I just called it the Audine Crop Top because that's the name of the yarn.


To make this open front crop top 2 skeins of Audine Wools will be needed for size XS/S.


KnitCrate is a monthly yarn subscription and every month they have a theme for their crates so you have to wait what you will be getting. It was a very exciting feeling because you have to wait for the surprise delivered right at your doorstep.

My very first crate is April 2018 KnitCrate Membership themed Golden Hour which includes 2 skeins of premium yarn, a knitting, and crochet pattern. The yarn have beautiful colourway inspired by the blooming deserts cacti.


Included knitting pattern, Cloris Shawl by Emily Johannes 
and crochet pattern, Tempest Cowl by Abbey Swanson.

The top I made is tight fitting and if you want to make looser or bigger top just make more rows for each part and follow the steps of the pattern below.

Now without cutting off yarn continue to ch 1, and sl st around the bottom of the top to get to the other side.

You can also cut off yarn and continue to join yarn on the other side, or use sc instead of sl st, or any other edging you like at the bottom.

Continue making 6 rows of sc, ch 1, fasten off and sew the buttons or attach the button while you crochet.

And you're done!






 Hello fellow unraveler, sorry to keep you guys waiting but as promised the video tutorial for this top is now up on my YouTube channel. 

Have you tried to make the bikini bottom?
 If yes then you won't have much problem making this top because the pattern is pretty much the same you only need to know how to do the increase and decrease.

 This pattern actually is quite similar to the Quick & Easy Crochet Top, but instead of making the strap without breaking off the yarn, I made the strap separately after I've finished making the body.

 I wanted to make this pattern as simple and easy as possible especially for beginners, but if you want to make the strap continuously without having to rejoin the yarn after you've finished the body, just follow the strap pattern from Quick & Easy Crochet Top.

 Hello everyone! I posted a photo of this bikini set on my Instagram account a few days ago and now I've finally finished editing the pattern and video tutorial for the bikini bottom only! I will post the pattern and video tutorial for the top soon. 

 Well if you're familiar with most of my patterns like the Crochet Bodycon Dress, this pattern works the same way from side to side. You only need to know how to do the increase and decrease. But once you understand the method, I assure you don't have to refer to the pattern anymore. 

 This pattern is quite simple and plain but if you want to make a more complicated design just follow the method and create your own design. You can create edging, use filet/motifs, or try use different stitches. Following this design as your foundation, can you imagine all the different design that you can create from this method. .

 Anyway, if you don’t understand any part of this pattern, please refer to the video tutorial on my YouTube channel.
