AUTHOR’S NOTE
Hello!
Thank you for purchasing the pattern

and supporting me!
“Habagat” means southwest monsoon in

Tagalog. This top is named after the
weather phenomenon due to its similarity
in shape.
Habagat is a spiral mesh top, perfect for

layering over a basic piece. It has a
self-tie back for more versatile sizing.
This pattern is recommended for

intermediate or advanced beginners who
want a challenge. You must have an
understanding on how to control the yarn
tension, as the mesh areas may be
challenging to manipulate.
With that, I hope you will love your

creation as much as I loved making it.
Love,
Crafty Hija

SPIRAL
ROW 1:
1c Dc 2, ch 2
1d Repeat step 1c, 5 times
1e Pull tail to tighten the magic circle
Do not sl st to end the row, simply

continue crocheting

SPIRAL
ROW 2:
Scan QR code for the video demo for

Row 2
shorturl.at/dmvxA
2a Ch 1,
you should have a total of 3 ch sts
2b Dc 2 on the ch 4 space from the

beginning
2c Dc 1 in the next st, sk last st
Total dc count: 3
2d Ch 3
Insert st marker on the ch space before

the 3 dcs you made in 2b to 2c
PAGE 7
SPIRAL
ROW 2:
2e Dc 2 in the ch space
2f Dc 1 in the next st, sk the last st
Total dc count: 3
2g Ch 3
2u Repeat 2e to 2g 4 times, until you

reach the st marker
You should have 6 sections
The ch space and dc space are

counted together as 1 section
Do not sl st to end the row, simply

continue crocheting
PAGE 8
SPIRAL
ROW 3:
3a Ch 1,
3b Dc 2 in the ch space
3c Dc 1 in the next 2 sts, sk the last st
Total dc count: 4
3d Ch 4
3e Repeat 3b to 3d 5 times
until you reach the st marker
PAGE 9
SPIRAL
ROW X:
Let x be the row number
Count the number of rows starting from

the ch 4 you made in the beginning
3a Ch 1,
3b Dc 2 in the ch space
3c Dc 1 in each st, sk the last st
Total dc count: (x + 1)
3d Ch (x + 1)
3e Repeat steps 3b to 3d 5 times
until you reach before the st

marker
PAGE 10
SPIRAL
ROW X:
3e Repeat 3a to 3e until row 10

OR when piece starts to warp
(whichever you feel best)
Do NOT sl st after you finish every

row, it a continuous spiral
PAGE 11
SPIRAL
ROW X > 10:
4a Dc 3 in the ch space
4b Dc 1 in each st, sk the last st
To calculate for total dc count:
Let z be the number of rows with 3dc

(row x > 10)
Row = 13 + 2z
11: = 13 + 2(0)
= 13 dcs
Row = 13 + 2(1)
12: = 15 dcs
Row = 13 + 2(2)
13: = 17 dcs
Therefore, st count increases by 2 from

(row x > 10) onwards
Let x be the row number
4c Ch x
4d Repeat steps 4a to 4c 5 times
until you reach before the st

marker
PAGE 12
SPIRAL
ROW X > 10:
You may put st markers so you don’t

forget where to increase your ch sts
4e Repeat 4a to 4d until the distance

between these two points reaches
Measurement A
IF NOT, then continue crocheting
Ensure that you do not end above

the st marker column
You must end before the st marker

column
