Pineapple Lace Top

The original pattern was designed for a toddler using a clover JP#2 crochet hook. My friend Kim has shown me some FOs crochetted by bloggers, some made it a kid wear, yet some made it an adult one using larger size crochet hook. All these garments have very elegant style that I hardly could resist, especially in such a humid summer time, what could be more suitable than a crocht wear? :)

Therefore, Kim and I decided to make it as our small knit along.

Yarn:pink purple cotton yarn bought from a yarn stand in Taipei. The stand owner is called Mrs. Tseng, she's famous among knit bloggers. It was my first time to buy yarns from her, and the experience was quite pleasant. Mrs. Tseng told me she's been selling yarns for more than 30 years, seems like she's also an experienced knitter cos she would tell me which type of yarn goes to which specific pattern...

Tools: Clover JP#3 crochet hook

Pattern:Sheep House



The finished Pineapple Lace Top. It's better to wear a camisole inside, the drapping has made the garment a lovely taste!

How the beautiful pineapple pattern glittering through the sunshine.

Three buttons used on front top, it looks good as well without buttons up.

Buttons up. It's better to wear jeans instead, isn't it! :)
