Im trying to crochet at least a little bit every day, so here is todays work :)

This was a really nice pattern to work with found at:

Mine is a little shorter because i felt it was maybe going to be a bit tight around the arms if it went below the elbow. I used two strands of womens institute premium acrylic dk yarn in two contrasting colours - i used pink and purple to give a flecked look, but lots of colour combos would work well. I crocheted with a 6mm hook.

I think this would probably fit a medium person, with enough room for a bit of drape - it was slightly restrictive on me as a L/XL.

The pattern is worked in the round so no sewing at the end, except a few threads to tie in which is a bonus :)

The only change i made to the pattern - i crocheted round 1 (sc in each st) first then joined with a sl st, purely so i didnt get my chain round twisted and kept it neat!

Have a shot and share your projects! Dont forget #needleworkmonday coming up soon 馃槏
