Crochet Summer Air Tunic
Materials:
3.5 mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: orange ( 300 gr for the sample – size L/ 100 gr or 382 yds per skein )
( Check out at my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Abbreviations
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/round, so just choose your best technique
Special stitches used:
2dc-V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.
This crochet Summer air tunic pattern fits size L ( chest size 36 to 38 inches )
