I wanted a no fuss structure garment with a stitch pattern that created vertical lines. The two tone collar adds a little punch to a simple piece. The yarn, Buffalo Gold Earth, is a light worsted weight yarn that works great for crochet projects because it has beautiful drape and because it has 10% nylon which helps hold the extra weight of a crocheted piece.

NOTIONS: Stitch markers, Tapestry needle, 2 matching buttons, 1 ¼” (32mm), 3 sets of hook and eye closures, 1/2” grosgrain ribbon, Matching sewing thread, Sewing needle

Finished Bust: 34 (38, 42, 46, 50, 54, 58) worn with 2” ease.
Amount needed: 5 (6, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11) in brown; one ball red
