The Sweet Erika Top is a m2m crochet pattern.
It features intricate stitches and a complex construction.
It's inspired by the ICONIC Barbie movie Princess and the Pauper, which we all remember from our childhood!!
The final piece is a closely accurate recreation of Erika's top that she wore in the movie.
The top has frilly sleeves with bows, a milkmaid-esque top part and a lace up front. It also features a delicate lace edging to make the top super dainty and cute.
Sweet Erika can be made short sleeved, midi sleeved or long sleeved: the choice is yours.

Materials
