Another design in my Eternal cable crochet collection. This cozy long top would be cool to pair with fitted bottoms.
Materials: (I used)
4mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: copper (about 500 gr or 10 skeins for the sample – size L / 50 gr or 164 yds per skein)
(Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping)
Yarn needle
Scissors
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 the 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 stitch used:
2×2 fpdtr left cross: (worked over 4 sts)
skip the next 2 sts, fpdtr around each of next 2 sts 2 rows below, working in front of the fpdtr just made, fpdtr around each of 2 skipped sts 2 rows below.
2-1-2 fpdtr left cross: (worked over 5 sts)
skip next 3 sts, fpdtr around each of next 2 sts 2 rows below, working behind fpdtr just made, sc in 3rd skipped st, working in front of fpdtr just made, fpdtr around each of first 2 skipped sts 2 rows below.
