Hand Knitting Pattern: Sleeveless Top

Yarn weight: Bulky (5-6 wpi), or yarn held together Fingering + Aran

Summer time! Beach babe wear. This is a VERY fast project. One to take to the beach to do. You need a little crochet knowledge, but the pattern has it written out. Any bulky weight yarn in a summery fibre will work. There are some spectacular novelties that would be a knockout! This is a close fitting garment. Choose a size where the finished bust measurement is closest to actual body measurement.

Rated: intermediate or advanced beginner, some basic crochet knowledge
