HEPATICA GRANNY TOP

[Svenskt mönster här] A quick-to-make halterneck top that starts as a row of granny squares. The blue ’flowers’ in the squares reminded me of Anemone hepatica, a spring flower common to Sweden and north Europe, hence the name. The yarn is a soft, unmercerised worsted cotton called Julie by Swedish brand Falkgarn. The pattern uses US crochet terminology.

This pattern is free. In return I would love it if you tag me when sharing your project photos in social media, so I can see what you are creating from my pattern. Instagram: @hooked_by_anna #hepaticatop #hepaticagrannytop. Ravelry (link up your project page to my pattern). Download the pattern pdf in English (US crochet terms) below.

  1. I don’t like downloading patterns straight from the site(s) because I’m leery of viruses. I’d rather copy ‘n paste into a notepad, and then paste it into an email.

    What would be the harm in that?

      Hi Ruth, I can assure you there are no viruses in the pdf pattern file or on my WordPress site. Thanks, Anna

    Hi Anna,
    I’m not sure I understand how I can increase into the ring, I’m finding it really hard to visualise. I am a beginner so perhaps the pattern is too complex for me! 🙂
    Thank you x

      Not entirely sure what you mean “increasing into the ring”? Feel free to email me directly for help crochet(at)hookedbyanna.com if you clarify which section you struggle with.

    I made this for my middle daughter, she loved it.. my younger daughter (20) saw it and said “Ooooh Imma need one in white/pink and pink/white” lol so I made hers, my grand-daughter (4) came over when I was finishing my youngest daughters pink top and she said “oh is that for me grandma cuz im your princess?” lol soooo now I am also making one for my granddaughter.. but what a fantastic picture it should turn out to be. Im having the middle daughter wear the white/pink, my youngest the pink/white and im making a mixture pink and white for my granddaughter. Thank you so much for this pattern! Its the first time I ever made a top and your directions were FANTASTIC!

    I am up to the ‘top part’ starting row 4 (decreasing). It says to: ch1 (does not count as a st), sk first st. Do I skip the stitch that my ch1 is in or the next stitch?

    • hookedbyanna hookedbyanna

      Hi Denise, yes, the first stitch of the row is the one your ch1 is in. Best of luck with your Hepatica! 🙂

    I like the design in crochet top with design or pattern on the cape sleeves. I was wondering if you have the patern in English. thanks

    • hookedbyanna hookedbyanna

      Do you mean the light beige top with lace cap sleeves? If so, the pattern rights belong to the magazine that I designed it for. Once the rights return to me, in 2021, I will publish an English version of the pattern.

  10. Ellie Ellie

    I look forward to the lace cap sleeve top pattern being published ! It’s lovely. ❤

    • hookedbyanna hookedbyanna

      Thanks! Hopefully just another couple of months now!

    Hepatica pattern (granny square halter) link for download wouldn’t work when I clicked on it. My daughter really wants me to make her one. Help!

    • hookedbyanna hookedbyanna

      Hard to say what is wrong. Do you have any pop-up or link blockers that mistake the pdf for a pop-up, blocking the download? Do you have Adobe acrobat reader installed? Or, if you are using the Google Chrome browser, the pdf file should just load in a new browser window/tab. Perhaps try a different browser or device. Or try right clicking on the link and select Save link as…

    Haven’t downloaded YET, but you absolutely have a new lifelong fan!

    I love this pattern and just starting but I was curious what size magic circle? 4, 6, 10 chains? I tried 4 but it looks so tiny that was unsure how to do the decreasing 9n something so small.

    • hookedbyanna hookedbyanna

      A magic circle does not have any chain stitches. If you YouTube crochet magic circle, there are lots of helpful tutorials! 🙂
