Safari Breeze Top is the second collab between Kimberly and Victoria of Vida Lifestyle Yarns. This crochet top is stitched top down, in the round and so much fun! With just a two round pattern repeat, it is so easy to memorize the pattern and by changing hook sizes or weight of yarn, you can customize it anyway you choose. The pattern is written for short sleeves, but leave off the sleeves and enjoy as a tank or make it long sleeved, the possibilities are endless. Just note that the yardage of the pattern is for the short sleeve version.
