Soft ruffles, easy-wear sport-weight yarn, and a cinch-it-your-way neckline—this tee begins at the waistband and is worked upward, so you can pause, try it on, and adjust the body or sleeve length as you go. Once the crocheting’s done, weave in the drawstring around the shoulders; it lets you tighten the neckline after wear and keeps it from stretching out over time. Pair it with the Mini Cupcake Skirt or your favorite jeans for a pop of color. If you know the basic stitches and want to try a fun herringbone texture, you’re ready.

Diamond Stitch
Explained in the pattern.
- This top is made top-down using the raglan technique, with a longer yoke than usual to create that oversized look.
- First, you’ll work the yoke. Then you’ll separate the sleeves from the body and add ruffles around the waistband, sleeves, and neckline.
- It’s completely seamless — you’ll only need a needle to weave in a few ends when you're done.
- The fit is intentionally oversized. If you prefer a closer fit, just size down.
- Pattern includes instructions for customizing the top’s length.
- Work with a 4 mm hook unless it says otherwise.
- Watch my YouTube video tutorial for any uncertainties.
