The EMPRESS top is The New Moon Designs' signature crochet top. It's a perfect piece to add to your beach or festival looks!

It's a structurally simple design with a lovely lacy pattern on the body, a halter neck and corset back ties. It's an intermediate level project, which assumes you know how to do the following stitches:

- Chain
- Slip Stitch
- Single Crochet
- Half Double Crochet
- Double Crochet
- Triple Crochet

All other stitches and steps are explained step-by-step with colour photographs throughout.

It is made with a 2,5mm / C2 hook and 2 to 3 50g skeins of DK or Light Worsted yarn (Number 3 weight).

Includes instructions for five different standard sizes - Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large, as well as a full explanation of how to adapt the size to your liking, make a longer version of the top and even how to thread beads onto the end of the ties.

NOTE: Patterns are not at present designed to be printer-friendly, but please get in touch if this is a concern to you.
