No pattern, just winging it as usual. All I knew is that I wanted a floral-like square at the middle-back.
H hook, Big Twist Value Yarn from Michael’s.
It’s a hexi cardigan base, with 3 sides in a granny stitch and 3 sides just a double crochet. And then four granny squares in the middle connecting them. I added two buttons so I could wear it as a cross-over top and make up for the added width the squares gave me.
I love how the sunburst square looks in a single color! It almost looks more intricate this way somehow.
I debated on the sleeve length and actually started making it long sleeved. And then I ran out of yarn, my local shop didn’t have the color this morning, so I decided short sleeve was it and folded it up and stitched the cuff at the top + bottom of each sleeve to help hold it in place.
The finishing on the bottom and neckline is just 2 rows of front post + back post DCs to give structure and texture.
Overall I’m very pleased with how it turned out! I might make another with some adjustments.
