Cleo Striped Summer Top

"If anything completes an outfit, its something that you made yourself (or that one of your favorite people made for you)?! Everyday tops don’t have to be ordinary. The Cleo top is a beautiful and comfortable top that will make any dreary day one to remember. Worked in the round, from the top down, it’s completely seamless. Different hook sizes are used to give some waist shaping and added drape to the bottom of the top and sleeves without any counting. Available in sizes XS to 5XL with a simple comfy fit, it’s a great top to wear over a simple pair of jeans or shorts. Grab your favorite colors of fine weight yarn and a hook and make some magic! /PATTERN DETAILS • XS to 5XL (details below) • Beginner-friendly • Worked top down in the round • Light waist shaping (made by changing hook sizes, no counting) • Techniques used / Special stitches: Full explanations are given in the pattern. • US crochet notations • Illustrated step-by-step photos /MATERIALS • 3 mm / US D – 3 hook. • 3.5 mm / US E – 4 hook. • 4 mm / US G – 6 hook. • Hobbii Twister (fine weight (2), 55% Cotton, 45% Acrylic, 100 g / 3.5 oz, 400 m / 437 yd) o 1 (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2) skein(s) in Marsala (111) (color A) o 1 (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2) skein(s) in Steel Blue (127) (color B) o 1 (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2) skein(s) in Dusty Rose (110) (color C) o 1 (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2) skein(s) in Glacier (122) (color D) o 2 (2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3) skeins in Natural White (101) • Tapestry needle to weave in the ends. • 20 stitch markers. /SIZE The crochet summer top pattern is available in following sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL.
