The Sambria Granny Square Top is a versatile, eye-catching piece that can be styled in multiple ways for different occasions. For instance, for a casual daytime look, pair it with high-waisted denim shorts or jeans and simple sandals, letting the crochet texture take center stage. Additionally, layer it over a fitted camisole or bralette for added comfort and contrast, or wear it under a light jacket during transitional weather. On the other hand, for a more polished outfit, tuck it into a flowy midi skirt and add ankle boots or strappy heels, creating a chic, boho-inspired ensemble. Moreover, accessorize with delicate gold jewelry or a woven bag to complement the artisanal charm of the granny square design. With its timeless crochet pattern and neutral tones, the Sambria Top effortlessly blends comfort, style, and summer-ready flair.

Finished Measurements
Notes: All measurements are taken after wet blocking, so be sure to take your own measurements for the neck hole, armholes, width, and height. The top is designed to fit slightly loose; however, if you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider adding one extra row to the basic square. Additionally, it’s important to ensure that the top portion—the more open angle—does not sit lower than your bra for proper fit and coverage.
