It’s been so long since I have released a pattern, or crocheted for that matter. So when I decided to pick a hook and yarn up I knew I wanted to make myself a garment, but being six months pregnant I couldn’t find anything that suited the bump, and that’s where the Aegean tee started. Now, this isn’t a maternity top but it is definitely bump-friendly! It has a slanted seam and front slits to shape the shirt perfect for a bump or to create amazing drape. This is also my first time trying out colorwork, which let me tell you was interesting, but if I can do it anyone can. I hope you love making this top as much as I loved designing it!
