Berroco Lighted Structures Wright Top Crochet Pattern

Berroco Lighted Structures Wright Crochet Top

What is Being Made

The Wright is a crocheted pullover top designed by Åsa Buchta. This intermediate-level garment is available in nine sizes, ranging from 34½ inches to 69 inches bust measurement, with finished lengths between 18½ and 21½ inches. The design offers 2–4 inches of positive ease for comfortable wear.

Construction Method

The Wright is constructed using a flat-piece method. The back and front panels are worked separately in rows, then seamed together to create the finished garment. This approach allows for precise shaping and sizing control throughout the project.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This pattern employs several fundamental crochet techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. The primary stitch used is the double crochet, which forms the structural foundation of the garment. The pattern incorporates chain spaces (abbreviated as ch-1 sp) that create openwork sections, alternating with solid stitch areas to produce visual interest and texture.

The stitch pattern features a repeating motif that combines:

• Double crochet stitches worked into chain spaces and individual stitches
• Chain-1 spaces created by skipping stitches, which add lightness to the fabric
• Clustered stitches (3 double crochets worked into a single stitch) that create dimensional texture and visual rhythm

The pattern requires careful attention to stitch placement and spacing, as the repeating sequence of skipped stitches, chain spaces, and clustered groups creates the overall fabric structure. Blocking after completion is essential, as gauge is measured post-blocking.

Materials Required

The Wright is designed to be worked in Berroco Gaia yarn, a fingering-weight yarn sold in 50-gram balls. Depending on size selection, the project requires between 5 and 10 balls of yarn (approximately 250 to 500 grams total). The recommended colorway shown is #3032 Flower.

Essential tools include a size F / 3.75 mm crochet hook or the size required to achieve proper gauge. Removable stitch markers are recommended to help track pattern repeats and construction progress.

Gauge and Finishing

The pattern specifies a gauge of 21 stitches and 9 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in the pattern stitch, measured after blocking. Achieving accurate gauge is critical for obtaining the correct finished measurements. The pattern notes that blocking is necessary before measuring, emphasizing the importance of this finishing step for proper fit and drape.
