BREEZE TOP

Light and airy summer top. All straight, no shaping.
The wide stripes in different colors, are a great way to use up scrap yarn and left-overs.

See the tester’s Breeze Top in the project gallery.

Pattern info:
• The top is worked in panels with 3 rows treble crochet each.
• Every panel is framed by double crochet in a contrast color.
• The panels are joined as you go by dc/Fdc loops (foundation double crochet).
Easy to adjust the length; add or remove panels.

YARN:

Fingering/1/3 Ply/Wpi: 21.

My yarn: MAFIL, Cablè 3 (Italian brand), crochet thread size 3, 100 % mercerized cotton.
Ball: 50 g (1.8 oz), 140 m (153 yd).

Any brand for crochet thread size 3 will do fine.
E.g: Crochet thread #3 (YarnArt).
Also Aunt Lydia’s (Coats), or Petra (DMC).
Available in US at Joann, Knitting Warehouse, Red Heart, Michael’s.

• If you cannot find crochet thread # 3, look for fingering cotton, close to 140 meter (153 yd) on 50 g/1.8 oz.*

TOTAL AMOUNT for 7 panels (sample). Amount in yds is approx:
