Make your own crochet top by following this beginner friendly, free, and easy Maria Top pattern that is worked in granny stitch!

Holger Sweater - Knitting Pattern Designed by PetiteKnit This pattern is a printed pattern in English. The Holger Sweater is worked from the top down. The body is worked in stockinette stitch with stripes, while the sleeves and neck edge are each worked in a different solid color. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth with the slope of the shoulders being shaped using short rows and in stripes, which are worked at the same time. Each shoulder is then worked back and forth on a circular needle, and then the shoulders are joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle with stripes. The sleeves are worked down from stitches that are picked up and knitted around the armholes. At the end, a folded neck edge is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neckline.  Size guide The Holger Sweater is designed to have approx. 20-25 cm [7¾-9¾ inches] of positive ease. The sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-14) years are designed to fit a chest circumference of 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (82) cm [20¾ (21¼) 22 (22½) 23¼ (24½) 25¼ (26¾) 28¼ (29½) 30¾ (32¼) inches]. The measurements for the finished sweater can be found on the front page of the pattern (please note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is maintained). If the intended wearer measures 62 cm [24½ inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 6-7 years. A size 6-7 years sweater has a chest circumference of 86 cm [33¾ inches] which in the given example would give the intended wearer 24 cm [9½ inches] of positive ease. If the measured chest circumference deviates from the age guide, you can adjust the length to fit the person you’re knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter or taller than average. Sizes: 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-14) years Chest circumference: 72 (74) 78 (82) 82 (86) 88 (92) 96 (98) 104 (108) cm [28¼ (29¼) 30¾ (32¼) 32¼ (33¾) 34¾ (36¼) 37¾ (38½) 41 (42½) inches] Length: 36 (38) 42 (43) 45 (48) 49 (50) 52 (53) 54 (56) cm [14¼ (15) 16½ (17) 17¾ (19) 19¼ (19¾) 20½ (20¾) 21¼ (22) inches] measured mid back excl. neck edge Gauge: 20 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 4 mm [US6] needles Needles: Circular needles: 4 mm [US6] / 60 or 80 cm [24 or 32 inches] and 3.5 mm [US4] / 40 and 60 and/or 80 cm [16 and 24 and/or 32 inches]; Double-pointed needles: 3.5 mm [US4] and 4 mm [US6] (unless the Magic Loop technique is used) Materials: 6 different colors of Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn (50 g = 91 m [98 yds]) or Peruvian Highland Wool by Filcolana (50 g = 100 m [109 yds]) or Double Sunday by Sandnes Garn (50 g = 108 m [118 yds]) Stripe colors for the body: Approx. 65 (74) 79 (84) 89 (102) 110 (116) 120 (128) 136 (145) g in each color Rib hem on the body: Approx. ca. 23 (23) 25 (25) 27 (27) 27 (29) 29 (30) 33 (33) g Sleeves: Approx. 31 (36) 40 (45) 50 (52) 54 (57) 61 (64) 67 (71) g in each color Neck edge: Approx. 14 (15) 15 (16) 16 (17) 17 (18) 18 (18) 19 (19) g

The Gabriella Tee is a beautiful knit with lace details. The tee is worked top-down, in the round. First the left side of the yoke is worked back and forth, with raglan increases and increases to shape the neckline, followed by the right side of the yoke. The work is then joined in the front. The back neckline is shaped further and once completed, the work is joined at the back. From this point on, the rest of the yoke is knitted in the round. After finishing the yoke, the work is divided into sleeves and body. Stitches are cast on under the arms. The body is knitted in the round until the desired length has been reached. You can choose to work the stitches under the arms in a lace pattern or work the entire body in stockinette stitch. Stitches are bound off using the i-cord bind off. The sleeves are worked in the round, continuing the lace pattern, and bound off using the i-cord bind off. In a final step, stitches are picked up for the neckline to add an i-cord edge. NOTE: Twinning is winning! You can buy the adult & junior version of a design at a reduced price :) (’twinning bundle’) The discount is automatically calculated at the check-out when buying both the adult & junior pattern.

The Paul Sweater is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. First, the left and right shoulders are worked separately before being joined into a single piece. After that, stitches are picked up to work the back. Then, stitches are picked up again to work the right and left fronts. German Short Rows are used to ensure a comfortable fit at the shoulders. Once all the parts are completed, they are joined for knitting in the round. Next, stitches are picked up to work the neckline in a 1x1 rib, worked in the round. Finally, the stitches are picked up to work the sleeves in the round. Examples of knitted projects can be found on Instagram under the hashtag #paul_sweater The gray sweater in the photo is knitted in Pernilla by @filcolana (col. marzipan) & Kid Seta by @gepardgarn (col.103) Sizes: XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL The Paul Sweater has a slightly oversized fit and is designed to have approx. 20 cm 7¾ in of positive ease with slightly reduced ease in larger sizes, to ensure a more comfortable fit. This means the garment’s measurements will be approx. 20 cm 7¾ in larger than your actual bust circumference. The sizes XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 / 85-90 / 90-95 / 95-100 / 100-110 /110-120 / 120-130 cm 31½-33½ / 33½-35½ / 35½-37½ / 37½-39½ / 39½-43¼ / 43¼-47¼ / 47¼-51¼ in. Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the right size. For example, if your bust circumference is 90 cm 35 in, you should knit a size M. If you are between sizes, choose the size based on how loose you prefer the sweater to fit.
