I made most of this top at one of my recent holiday shows, but needed to finish it. At most shows I don't have enough space to sew the pieces together so it has to wait until I'm home. This yarn from Morehouse Farm is really soft and very warm. I find sometimes that I want a warm sweater for inside where I'm not going to be too warm. That's why I made this sweater with an open stitch. I actually was going to make the sleeves longer, but I didn't have enough yarn. You could easily extend them if you wanted to (and had enough yarn).

I used 3 skeins of the Blueberry and 2 of the Wisteria from their 3 strand worsted. This is a nice size worsted weight yarn and their skeins have approximtely 145 yards of yarn. You could make this with any worsted weight yarn.






This pattern uses a 6 mm hook.

Stitches:
ch - chain
sk - skip stitches
dc - double crochet

Front and Back panels - make 2

Cast on 28 with the Blueberry
Row 1: dc in the 6th stitch from the hook, dc in the same stitch, ch 2, 2 more dc in the same stitch, sk 4 stitches, *2 dc ch 2 2 dc in the next stitch, sk 4 stitches. Repeat from * until the end of the row, dc in the last stitch
Row 2: ch 3, *2 dc ch 2 2 dc in the chain space. Repeat from * until the end of the row, dc in the last stitch
Rows 3-16: repeat row 2

Switch yarns to the Wisteria
Rows 17-24: repeat row 2








Sew the 2 panels together. Leave a 9 inch opening at the top for the neck and 7-8 inches for the sleeves. I also like to leave 1-2 inches at the bottom, but this is just stylistic.

Make the sleeves:
Row 1: ch 3, *2 dc ch 2 2 dc in the chain space. Repeat from * until the end of the row, dc in the last stitch. Pick up 9 stitches.
Rows 2-5: repeat row 1

Weave in all ends and flip the shirt right side out.

I was supposed to have my poinsettia tree in this kiln, but the USPS took it for a tour of the mid atlantic and I didn't get it in time so this kiln is a little emptier than normal. The trees look awesome though!

The woman who bought the globe sent me a picture of it in its new home! It looks amazing and I'm so happy for her.

I managed not to take a picture of the globe before I sold it! Sad, it was super pretty and went to a great home. I really love how the pitchers came out. Nothing else really new in the kiln.
