GRACE’s SLEEVELESS PINEAPPLE TOP

There is something about pineapples.. it just gets you.. and this lovely top by Vicky Chan has an uneven edge (or an asymmetric hemline, as the designer says), which is so lovely, so just had to get this one done too.

And was it just coincidental that my niece was visiting and this turned out to be a perfect fit for her.. or Providence, huh ??

This is a paid pattern.

The reason I am writing this blog is that I’ve found we are unable (sometimes) to visualize what a particular project will look like with locally available yarns.
In India, we do not get all the yarns that are suggested on the pattern sheet(s), but this one made with our locally available Red Rose knitting cotton yarn shows us that hey! We can make this one too ..

And this is the original photograph put up by the designer, just so you know which one we’re doing here and the link to find it here

Materials used : Today I’ve used our Indian Red rose knitting cotton Yarn ~ about 225 gms, with a 3.5 mm crochet hook.

For Non-Indians : I have used a regular knitting cotton that technically uses a 2 – 2.5 mm crochet hook (recommended). I use a larger hook as I like the extra stretch it affords the end product. Among the international yarns I have used in this thickness, I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.

with skirt to show how beautiful it looks

Pictures showing Stitch detail , look at it sideways for the uneven hemline.. and hey it looks great on top of a skirt as well

Loved this pattern, and will hopefully be able to come back to make it once again in the future. There is an on-going CAL for this pattern on Ravelry here

Enjoyed this ?? I sure did.. Come back right here for more freebie patterns
