Monseratte
As part of my island theme I have been working on Monseratte is an island that is in the gulf of California. This is a simple to make top that works up relatively quickly and has an easy to memorize stitch pattern which makes as a great travel project. Top is light weight and, if make with cotton, extremely breathable.

Yarn
#10 Crochet cotton thread
Yarn used in sample, Artiste crochet cotton thread, 350yds
Porcelain (102) Ice Blue (113), Glacier Ice (121)

Note: Thread like Artiste is slightly thinner and lighter than red heart so it will have lighter results and possibly a different gauge. KnitPicks Curio makes for a good alternative, Curio is much thinner and softer than Artiste so it will make a softer garment, be careful to match gauge.
