"This top is designed to have room, but not too much. For a fitted top you may wish to size down from your actual bust measurement. For a roomier top, size up! The chart below will list the minimum and maximum recommended bust measurements, as well as act as a guide for stitch counts. For reference, counts are occasionally given in the following format: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). In my mind, the great thing about a loose fitting top of any type is the ability to layer it over other pieces, wear it on its own, or layer over it. Especially for those of you looking to minimize and curate a capsule wardrobe, a piece like this has the potential to be a multi-season staple."

Easy Striped Summer Tee
"The Easy Striped Summer Tee is a fun cropped topper that's incredibly simple to crochet. And a great addition to your warm-weather wardrobe. The Easy Striped Summer Tee is a great summer make - so easy you can crochet it at the beach or by the pool! Two rectangles, made of the most basic stitches, get seamed into a flattering v-neck top. The linked treble stitches at the waist give it a rolled look - but there's a substitute for that in the notes below if you want to keep it easy! The Easy Striped Summer Tee crochet pattern includes 3 sizes, that range from XS to 5X. This top features a loose, oversize fit and I've included the actual bust measurement for each size in the pattern. I've given this pattern a cropped length, but you can easily make it longer if desired too - just see the pattern Notes!"

Nivis Tee
"The Nivis Tee is definitely a cozy crochet top. It is made based on the popular crochet cardigan, the Nivis Cardigan. This top soft and a joy to wear, but I also love that this yarn is great to crochet with. To crochet this top you have to have a bit of crochet experience since the skill level is intermediate. However I would absolutely say that if you've crocheted a few projects already, this might still feel like a rather easy project, especially if you've tried crocheting cables. The crochet Nivis Tee comes in 9 sizes from XS - 5XL and there's also suggestions on how you can adjust it to fit you perfectly!"
