The Isla Top is a delicately structured crochet top featuring a pleated bust, deep V-cut neckline, and a fitted lace band that buttons up under the bust.
 
This feminine silhouette combines unique shaping techniques with elegant stitchwork. The soft texture created by the Long Single Crochet stitch gives the fabric a light, breathable feel—perfect for warm weather wear. With detailed photo tutorials, charts, and video support, this intermediate-level pattern is graded for 7 sizes (covering bust measurements from 14.5” / 37 cm to 22.8” / 58 cm) and includes customization tips to ensure the perfect fit.
 
To assist with yarn selection and sizing, this pattern includes a “Tester Gallery”, showcasing tester measurements, chosen size, yarn used, and their finished results.
