"This pattern was designed with the absolute beginner in mind. It's a simple two panel project, using a 5mm hook and #3 DK weight yarn, so it works up really quick. The larger hook also gives it a nice stitch texture. If you're new to crochet, this could easily be your first top. This pattern is made in women's US sizes XS-XXL. There is also a video tutorial available to walk you through the process step by step. "
