Crochet Top and Sweater

Bring effortless summer style to your hooks with this beautifully striped top or sweater!

Worked side to side, this clever construction not only creates flattering horizontal stripes, but also minimises the need for endless colour changes by carrying your unused yarn loosely up the side edge between stripes. Less weaving in, more crocheting? Yes, please!

Keep it light and breezy as a relaxed summer sweater, perfect for cool evenings… or turn heads with a statement top finished with a pretty tie at the neckline for an extra flair.

You will need: 4mm (UK 8 - USA G/6) crochet hook
