Today we are featuring Komal of Mia Designs
A quick Intro from her –
I am Komal. Just like you I am a creative head too. When I am not busy reading fiction I am mostly hooked on crochet. It’s been a very fulfilling journey since the day I discovered what magic a hook and some yarn can create. Visit my blog to get your hands on so many free as well as paid crochet patterns.

The pattern is written using US crochet stitch terminology. Here hook size 4 mm (US G/6 or UK 8) is used. The tension is 16 double crochet x 8 rows = 10 cm/4” in width and 10 cm/4” height.
The hook size is only a guide. Change to a larger/ smaller hook size, if there are too many/ few stitches in 4″ or 10cm gauge.
To make this top you will need following material
- Cotton DK weight yarn – Laura knitting cotton- colour light grey (M) 350g ,dark purple (S1) – 150g, light purple (S2) – 50g

- Scissors
- Markers to mark important stitches
- Yarn needle to weave in the ends

Finished measurements:
Chest measures 92 cm or 36” and full length 56 cm or 22”.
The garment will tend to measure more when held up, hence measure the final length of the piece while holding it up.
Short overview:
Front and back pieces are worked back and forth separately, bottom up. Then right shoulder and left shoulder are worked. The garment is sewn together after both sides are done. Lastly bobble edging is done on the sleeves and simple single crochet edging is done on the nech and bottom.
