Stand out in a crowd with this stunning duster inspired by the sunset. Made from the bottom up with minimum seaming, the sleeves are crocheted directly onto the garment. Working in the front loop creates a subtle stitch texture that adds to the visual interest and is easy enough for a beginner crocheter to try.
