We study an initial value problem for two-dimensional needle crystal growth with anisotropic surface tension. The initial value problem is derived from the so called one-sided model based on complex variables method. We then obtain the existence and uniqueness of local solution in Sobolev spaces for the needle crystal problem with arbitrary initial interface. Furthermore, we obtain that, on average in time, the solution gains 3/2 derivative of smoothness in spatial variable compared to the initial data. The continuous dependence on the initial data of the solution map is also established.
