This document provides the pattern and instructions for making the Ariane crochet top in 3 sizes (S, M, L). It uses a lace stitch pattern repeated over multiple rounds to create a lacy, openwork design. Key steps include:
1. Crocheting the bottom border and increasing rounds to start the piece.
2. Working lace pattern repeats separated by increases to shape the bust.
3. Creating armholes with chain spaces and continuing lace pattern on front and back sections.
4. Finishing with single crochet rounds, button bands with chain spaces for buttons, and sewing on buttons.

English Translation: Whittni Brown (ravelry username: mashkurable) Size S - M - L Supplies 220 (250-310)g Kaleido (The Chemist) yarn Hook 4mm (G) Stitches used ml (maille en l’air): chain stitch (ch) ms (maille serrée): single crochet stitch (sc) dbr (demi-bride): half double crochet (hdc) br (bride): double crochet (dc) 3HDC: 3 hdc in same stitch (an increase) 3DC: 3 dc in same stitch (an increase) The opposite diagram (the lace leaf/pineapple chart) is a multiple of 16 stitches + 1 stitch over 8 Rnds. Notes • The 3DC and 3HDC stitches are increases rather than decreasing clusters. • The pattern does not explicitly state this, but when you arrive at a ch1 or ch2, skip a stitch in the preceding row for every chain 1, and skip 2 stitches for every chain 2. The only time you don’t skip a stitch is when pattern explicitly states to do something in the next stitch. You will usually have to do this within the asterisks that state * ch 1, 2dc * for example.

Note: In the diagram, replace the chain stitch at the beginning of each rnd with the corresponding stitch: (ch 1 = 1 sc, 2 ch = 1 hdc; 3 ch = 1 dc). Repeat the 8 rounds of the chart 5 times (or more if desired). Finish with 1 rnd of sc in each stitch by crocheting 1 sc per dc, hdc and ch from the previous rnd and in the spaces (i.e. crochet 5 sc in the 5 ch spaces, and 3 sc in the 3 ch spaces). Along the front half, crochet 65 (68-76) sts. Do 1 rnd of sc, 1 rnd of hdc, 1 rnd of sc. On the left side, make 3-chain buttonholes spread out evenly on the bodice as follows: ch 4, skip 4 hdc, 8 (9-11) sc, ch 3, skip 3 hdc, 8 (9-11) sc, ch 3, skip 3 hdc, Continue the Rnd in sc. Sew 3 buttons as demonstrated in the picture.
