16th Avenue Crop Top PATTERN

Description

Get the digital PDF download to make the 16th Avenue Crop Top!  This adorable crop top features shell stitches, ruffles, and lots of PINK!  This collection is inspired by the song “I Think He Knows” on the Lover album by Taylor Swift. This song is bubblegum pop, and is all about having a crush and the excitement of starting a new relationship.

Pattern Notes:

• This pattern is written made to measure, so as long as you have the bust measurement for yourself or whoever you want to make this top for, you can make it to fit.
• This top is designed to fit snug with 0″ ease.
• The top is based on your bust measurement. Instructions say to add 3″ to the foundation row because the shell stitch shrinks the foundation row.  For reference, my bust is 42.5″ around, so that is what the sample is based on.
• Pattern is worked in the round without turning after each row.
• Feel free to go down a hook size for the straps. They tend to increase quite a bit with the ruffle.
