Laura Top Written Pattern

First time using a MTM pattern, felt more like a sizing guide than a step-by-step pattern.

The pattern describes several stretch levels in detail, but doesn’t go into how to apply them to your own body measurements or preferred fit. There’s no guidance on which level to use for a snugger vs. looser fit, or roughly how much ease to leave for a look similar to the photos. The photos throughout are detailed and genuinely helpful, but some of the written explanations feel a bit disjointed, so it took a fair amount of trial and error to work out. Construction itself is simple and clearly laid out once you get going.

Perfect pattern

I have two Laura tops already and both were a treat to crochet. The instructions are clear and super easy to follow. I had a lot of fun crocheting it. As with each one of Lorena's patterns, this one is an absolute joy!

Worth every penny!!!

This was my first time crocheting a piece of clothing, and this pattern did not disappoint! I had a little trouble at the beginning getting my head round one of the stitches, but Lorena was so kind when I reached out and she guided me through it. From then on, the pattern was super simple to follow and I ADORE the finished piece. She also gives you pointers on things like blocking, measuring etc. I couldn't recommended this pattern, or Lorena, enough! From now on, I’ll only be buying crochet patterns from here! They’re easy to follow and so stylish (which can be a rare thing with crochet patterns!) Can’t see wait to see what she makes next! 🩷
