Description

Crochet the Spotting Clouds Top for your go-to top this summer.  This top, designed by Christina Hadderingh, was inspired by the different shapes of the clouds.

Cumulus clouds (those big heaped clouds), cirrus clouds (thin and whispy) and cirrocumulus clouds (small puffy clouds).

It is crocheted from the top down and is seamless.  This also means you can decide the length you want – mid-riff, waist, hips or even a tunic.

During the class Lynda will take you through the construction and begin the top with you, and work through each panel so that you can complete it at home.  Please note you must know how to crochet basic stitches before the class.

The price is for the class and pattern only, and does not include material.  Yarn is available for purchase at the store.
