Tica Top crochet pattern

Details

Tica is made top down. It has an exact fit on the given bust measurements. However some cottons may stretch a bit so it will not have a super tight fit. Have a good look at which bust measurement fits you best to be certain you make the right size. Depending on the brand of cotton results may differ slightly as some cottons stretch more than others. I will give options for waist shaping. The length can easily be adjusted, see measurements for the total length (I made my top a bit shorter). For the mosaic part I use the overlay technique. The pattern has a written description with pictures and links to video tutorials to help make things clear.
