pattern: fruity button crochet pattern

I've been wanting to make a button up pattern for a while and I absolutely love the fruit slice on the back. It's summery, it's fun, and most importantly, it's fruity. 

Like all of my patterns, this top is made-to-measure, meaning that you can ensure the perfect fit. It was tested by sizes XS-5XL (Bust sizes 28"-62"). At the end of the pattern is a Tester Lookbook to find color inspiration, fit inspiration, and a guide to which yarns in which colors my testers used. 

This is an intermediate pattern. I would not recommend this for beginners. I do have other tapestry crochet projects that would work better for a beginner (the brontosaurus top or the duck sweater would be great ones) since the construction of the piece is more simple. 

Materials: 

4.5mm hook (or appropriate hook size for your yarn)
1 background color of your favorite Sport weight (weight 2) yarn.

You can use acrylic, cotton, or another material if you prefer. 
I used about 200g of Hobbii Twister Solid for a size S. Testers used between 700-1200 yds for the background color. For more detail on yardage by size, see the last pages of the pattern.

Less than 50g of 3 shades of an additional color for the fruit slice
