Notes
It's a top-down top made with the raglan technique. The yoke is worked longer because I wanted it oversized.
First, you will make the yoke, then separate the sleeves from the body. Work a few more rounds on the body and then finish with a few rounds on the sleeve.
If you want the top to be longer, just add additional rounds on the body section after separating body and sleeves.

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 10 reviews.
Well written pattern! The raglan style makes this garment an easy piece to work on and also to adjust! Top down crochet pieces are always the easiest to try on. I went oversized in mine and followed instructions for the large, but have also since made an additional top in medium with an extended body to make it more of a baby tee and less cropped.
Well worth the purchase!
Great, very detailed pattern which was explained very well. It held my interest and made for a great vacation week pattern that took me the week to do. Thank you!
