PATTERN WRITTEN IN US CROCHET TERMS

Want to make an easy to crochet wardrobe essential that you will wear every day in summer? This pattern is for you!

The style is a classic fit which skims the body to create a flattering silhouette and the neckline is wide, but not so wide that it gapes, it will cover your shoulder straps! To make a more relaxed looser fit work one size up. The sleeves are small cap sleeves which can also be made longer if you wish. It can made in one plain colour or you can use up your stash of DK cotton by making it in stripes.

LEVEL
Suitable for upper beginner crocheters with simple front and back rectangular construction with little shaping, you only need to know basic stitches and learn one new stitch, puff stitch which is explained in the pattern.

SIZES
The pattern is available in nine sizes XS, S,M,L,XL,2XL,3Xl,4Xl and 5XL and has been checked by a tech editor and testers

YARN
I recommend Bendigo Woollen Mills 8 ply ( cream top in photo is shade Parchment) but you can also use Stylecrafts Naturals Bamboo and Cotton, or Scheepjes Catona or any other similar DK cotton.
