Greetings, gorgeous!

Our pattern this week is the sweetest crocheted top.

Kalaheo is a crocheted, cap sleeve top designed by Michelle Ferguson using Expression Fiber Arts CashSilk Sock Fingering Weight Yarn.

Have a watch! We have filmed a video tutorial for you showing you how to work the ehdc stitch and the picot trim.

 

The designer notes: I chose the name Kalaheo, because it is a Hawaiian name that means Proud Day, and that is exactly how I want every person who makes this garment to feel when they complete it.

I decided to go with one main stitch for the tee because I loved the texture it created when turning in the round. I also added a picot style trim to the sleeves and bottom of the top. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I enjoyed designing it!

This garment is worked from the top down, with a circular yoke. The yoke is still turned each row to achieve the texture and straight seam down the back. Armholes are then created by skipping stitches and joining the front and back together. The pattern includes sizes: XS, (S, M, L,) XL, 2X, 3X, (4X, 5X). Bust size in inches: 30, (34, 38, 42,) 46, 50, 54, (58, 60). Add approx 2” of positive ease for final measurement.
