Aava Top by Elina Vaananen
What is Being Made
The Aava Top is a crocheted garment designed by Elina Vaananen and published by Capitana Uncino. This is an intermediate-level crochet project worked in a two-color colorblock construction, featuring contrasting sections in two distinct yarn colors. The pattern provides sizing options across multiple dimensions, making it adaptable for different body measurements.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. The two-color design requires managing yarn transitions between Color 1 and Color 2 sections, which builds skills in color work and maintaining consistent tension across different yarn changes. The structured sizing system demonstrates how crochet garments can be scaled proportionally, with graduated yardage requirements reflecting the increases in finished dimensions.
Yarn Materials and Weight
Yarn Weight: DK weight yarn (also referred to as light worsted weight) is the specified material for this project. DK weight provides a balanced drape and structure ideal for fitted garment construction.
Yardage Requirements by Size:
- Color 1: 135–245 meters (142–270 yards) depending on size
- Color 2: 125–205 meters (137–225 yards) depending on size
Yarn Weight in Grams and Ounces:
- Color 1: 100–150 grams (3.5–5.25 ounces)
- Color 2: 50–150 grams (1.75–5.25 ounces)
Recommended Yarn Fiber Content
The pattern suggests DK weight yarns with natural and sustainable fiber blends. Specific examples used in the pictured samples include Drops 9 recycled cotton in turquoise and beige, and Novita Suvi in red and beige blends featuring viscose and linen. Additional yarn recommendations include Katia Silk-Viscose, Phildar Phil Ecojean, Sirdar Cotton, and Schachenmayr options. These fiber suggestions emphasize breathable, natural materials suitable for warm-weather garment wear.
Tools Required
An appropriate crochet hook sized for DK weight yarn is necessary to complete this project. The specific hook size should be confirmed within the pattern instructions to achieve the correct gauge and finished garment dimensions.
