Happy Ocean Top Maxi
This is the adult pattern for the Happy Ocean Top. For those who like to ‘mini-me’, a kids version is available here on Ravelry too! The top depicts whale and octopus families and part of the proceeds of this pattern I will donate to Greenpeace. Every little bit helps to support them in saving ocean life for future generations, I hope.
