Bleached Shoulders Tunisian Sweater

Stripes never looked so cool, thanks to a combination of bleached shoulders and Tunisian crochet stitches. This is a great example of how color can totally change the look of a garment. If you’re not a fan of stripes, you could also crochet this in a solid color. Or, imagine how awesome it could look with an ombré color palette!

Tunisian Tennis Vest

Only Tunisian crochet can give you a look like the stitches in this tennis vest. The bodice is worked flat, so you can adjust the length in any way you need to fit your body and the style you want. It can even be worked longer if you want more of a tunic style.
