Seda Top Crochet Pattern by Linda Skuja
What is Being Made
The Seda Top is a crocheted garment designed by Linda Skuja as an intermediate-level crochet project. This top is available in six sizes ranging from XS to 4XL/5XL, with finished bust measurements from 29.5 inches (75 cm) up to 59.75 inches (152 cm). The garment features a length from hem to bust line of 15 to 19 inches (38 to 49 cm) depending on size, with pattern indications included for customizing the length to personal preference.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches Used
This pattern employs several fundamental and intermediate crochet techniques suitable for crafters with garment-making experience. The primary stitches featured in the Seda Top include:
- Chain (Ch) - the foundational stitch used to create the base structure
- Slip Stitch (Sl st) - used for joining rounds and connecting sections
- Single Crochet (Sc) - a basic stitch providing structure and density
- Foundation Single Crochet (Fsc) - an efficient method for creating a finished foundation edge without requiring a separate chain foundation
- Double Crochet (Dc) - the primary stitch used throughout the garment, with a gauge of 22 stitches and 15 rows measuring 4 inches (10 cm)
- Front Post Double Crochet (FPdc) - a post stitch technique that creates textured, dimensional effects by working around the post of stitches from previous rows
The pattern assumes crafter experience with working post stitches and previous success with crocheted garment construction, making it well-suited for intermediate-level makers.
Materials and Yarn Requirements
The Seda Top is designed to be worked with fingering weight yarn, classified as CYCA #1 Super Fine. Yarn requirements vary by size, ranging from 7.4 ounces (210 grams / 918 yards / 840 metres) for the smallest XS size to 19.75 ounces (560 grams / 2450 yards / 2240 metres) for the largest 4XL/5XL size. The pattern calls for a size E / 3.5 mm crochet hook, which is the appropriate hook size for working with fingering weight yarn at the specified gauge. A yarn needle is required for weaving in ends and finishing the garment.
Gauge and Sizing Information
Achieving the correct gauge is essential for this pattern. The specified gauge is 22 stitches and 15 rows measuring 4 inches (10 cm) when worked in double crochet with the recommended hook size and yarn weight. This gauge measurement ensures that the finished garment will fit accurately across all available sizes.
