Lacy Top or Sleeveless Sweater

To create this top I used 4 skeins of Katia Love Wool (2 skeins of color 116 fuchsia + 2 skeins of color 118 turquoise). To create the lacy effect I alternated broomstick and empty squares. The central squares are crocheted in the round in this technique that I called Broomstick Granny Square. You can use only one color, if you prefer. The 2 pieces are assembled seamlessly. Some additional rows are added at the bottom: I played with loops to create other effects than broomstick for finishing.

The central piece of my pullover is a flower felt with wool leftovers. I share this technique in my pattern. This top can suit for sizes up to 42 (fr).

The central square measures 45 x 45 cm approximatively.

You can use a bigger hook size to crochet this top, add additional rounds to extend it (more wool will be needed).

I used Katia Love Wool but made a selection of similar yarns for you. It is also possible to use any other yarns but you'll need to adapt it to the needed size.
