Getting the Size Right

The sizing of crocheted garments are going to be different than clothing that you would buy in a retail store. Even if you follow the pattern carefully and check your gauge, you still might not get the right fit. The key to getting the right fit is taking accurate body measurements. For a woman's crocheted top, the bust measurement is the critical one. Measure around the fullest part of the bust and choose the size in the pattern based on that measurement.
