This is an elegant (and warm) version of a classic look. Wear it low on your shoulders with something strappy, or drawn slightly higher and paired with a sleek turtleneck. If you’re daring, try it as a drawstring miniskirt matched with bold tights and boots.
You will need:
- 2 skeins (140g each) of Bernat Soft Bouclé Yarn (I used the “Tropical Spray” color)
- G/6 hook (4.25mm)
- 3 yards of a satin ribbon in a coordinating colour (1/2 inch wide)
Sizes:Pattern is for size M (S, L)
Gauge: 12dc and 8 rows = 4” x 4” (10cm x 10cm)
Notes:
US pattern notations used
st = stitch
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
dc = double crochet
fpdc = front post treble crochet
bpdc = back post treble crochet
In this pattern, the cross stitch (which appears as a row of Xs) is made using this technique: fptc around second st from hook, fptc in the skipped st.
Ch 3 at the beginning of a round will count as the first dc.
