Clean lines, playful energy. The Ms Ankara is a spaghetti-strap crochet wrap top worked in horizontal ribbing with a front-wrap silhouette shaped by simple short rows — effortless to wear, satisfying to make.

Construction

Ms Ankara is worked sideways in BLO HDC, creating that clean horizontal ribbing that defines the piece. Short rows shape the wrap silhouette naturally as you go. A contrast colour option adds a second dimension — or keep it tonal for something quieter.
