Burgundy Fan Lace Top

Just finished weaving the ends last night and wore it to school today! Made with elann.com sonata (100% mercerized cotton) and I used about 4.5 skeins of it. Pattern stitch (plus my own modifications) was found in a Brazilian crochet magazine and crocheted free-hand. I just measured myself after making a test swatch and based the pattern from that after making calculations. Took me 3 days off and on to finish. It was a very gratifying item to make as it was so fast and the stitch pattern could be done without looking at the piece.

Thanks for dropping by!!


PS. It was supposed to be a skirt, but it was a very tight skirt! I scooted it up and was very pleased to find out that as a top it was a perfect fit!! As with most of my wearables, my flukes turn out to be my best ones!
