Pattern Description:

Summer begs for light, feminine, unique crochet clothing, and this item is exactly that. Make this with cotton yarn, I used Frog Tree Pima Cotton for the piece shown, and its so cool and almost silky to the touch - perfect for those warm, sultry summer evenings. The pattern is super simple, easy enough for beginners, and although there is some assembly, there's very minimal shaping (only used for tapering the straps at the ends). So, if you are looking for a quick, simple yet striking item to add to your DIY wardrobe, this is the one!

Gauge:

14 dc and 7 rows = 4"

Sizing / Finished Measurements:

length from center top to center bottom = 22"
length of sides from top to bottom = 36"
chest/bust circumference = 28"
full length of straps = 14"
squares = 12 1/2" X 12 1/2"
triangles = 13" X 13" X 13"
This garment will have a good amount of positive ease, i.e. it will stretch and should fit loosely unless you want it to be tight
