Leilani Top

Yarn and hook: 200 gr (420 m/460 yds) of self-striping, cotton DK /size 3 yarn (brand of your choice), 100 gr of a cotton mix in main (framing) color, and a 3 mm hook (UK 8) (US:G/6) of your choice / brand. For the granny flowers I used a brand that is sadly discontinued (My Love Knitting by Anatoliya Iplik); however Camilla Batik would also work perfectly. For the rest of the squares and ribbing, I used Madame Cotton, color no.003 as the main color. I recommend using a mix of cotton and acrylic. Madame Cotton is 51% acrylic and 49% cotton. The feel is heavenly, and it works as smooth as butter! Stitches: chain (ch), stitch (st), skip (sk), slip stitch (sl st), double crochet (dc), treble (tr). American terminology used.
