CROCHET PATTERN
Meet the Dahlia Sweater, a modern crochet top designed for the mindful maker. This pattern features a unique silhouette defined by its light, airy drape and thoughtful details.

The Dahlia Sweater is built from the bottom up, starting with a ribbed waistband. The waistband length is easily customizable, allowing you to create a cropped top that fits you perfectly. Just above the ribbing, a simple rouched detail adds subtle texture and creates a gentle bloused effect.

The body is worked in an open stitch pattern to create a lightweight and drapey fabric. This is paired with relaxed dolman sleeves and a classic boatneck for a truly contemporary wardrobe piece.
