“Clandestine” must be worked only in the softest and most luxurious yarns. It must drape and wrap sultry to the body. The design and construction of “Clandestine” is surprisingly simple with uncomplicated shaping, crocheted with basic stitches. You can make “Clandestine” to fit your measurements and easily modify the pattern to change the length of the sleeve. To make a garment that fits a bust 34”, I used two hanks of Silky-Cashmere by Lotus Yarns. The leftover, I used to make a complementary scarf. Beautiful!

NOTES: “Clandestine” is commenced at the back. The left front side and the right front side are worked separately from the shoulders and then the sides seamed, forming the armholes. The sleeves are worked around the armholes and the straps are worked at each side. Finally, a decorative trim is worked along the neck.

Instructions for four sizes is provided below but you can make “Clandestine” to fit your size by making the corresponding number of foundation stitches according to your measurements.
