The garment can be worn as a loose fit top or as a cardigan with neck opening moved to the back. Its shape is a rectangle composed of square motifs joined together as you work their last round, with neck opening squares unattached. In each motif, first two rounds are worked in accent colors A then B, then the outer three rounds are worked in main color (MC). After each color is finished, cut the yarn and weave in the end. Then attach yarn of next color in the specified point and work the next part, etc.

After the body is finished, fold the whole piece lengthwise and join the pairs of squares together leaving spaces for armholes. Then work several rounds around the main opening and around the armholes to straighten out the edges. All edgings are worked with right side facing.

Yarn: I used an old discontinued cotton yarn of DK weight. Any DK weight cotton blend should work for this pattern as long as you get the gauge.

Instruction provided for one size (adult women’s medium) to be worn with a lot of positive ease. Crochet stitch charts and text instructions included.
