PATTERN NOTES
This top is constructed with two identical halves which are then seamed together with slip stitches to create a visible seam. Each half starts with making two small panels, which are both joined to continue adding width for the shoulders. Each half is then seamed in the center to create a Front and Back, then is seamed up the sides of each edge to create the top.
Please note that size 4x makes the most of 10 skeins of Sandcastle. You may wish to purchase an extra skein of yarn as insurance.
This pattern uses US crochet terminology.
