Pattern description
Two textures - yarn and ribbon - team to create bright looks in tops. The technique is easy: vertical rows are double crocheted in Reynolds Parfait, a lightweight dress yarn, and joined with rows of Reynolds Ruban Rayonne. For a finishing touch, ribbon ends are knotted into fringe. This top is two squares sewn at sides and shoulders.
Additional information
Ends from colors A and B are woven in; only those for color C are left long to use as fringe. Additional 10” pieces of color C are pulled through at the base of the front and back and knotted with the yarn ends of C to form the bottom fringe.
