Crocheting is one of the best activities for calming down and de-stressing. It’s an incredibly satisfying hobby that can help you relax and find a sense of peace. I love handmade items, especially when they are garments. Crocheting your own clothes will be such a rewarding and unique experience.

The Modern Lace Pullover is designed in Comfy Worsted from WeCrochet. Comfy worsted is a super soft yarn made of Pima cotton and acrylic. The perfect material for an open-airy summer design. Check out their gorgeous selection of colours at WeCrochet

Yarn Inspiration
Comfy Worsted is a great affordable cotton/acrylic yarn. I have chosen this yarn to substitute the Sprightly that the original pattern was crocheted in. I prefer a cotton blend for a summer top, so I picked Comfy as a perfect choice. If you want to use 100% acrylic yarn, like the original pattern, I suggest Brava Worsted as a great substitute. Lion Brand Color Theory is a perfect match if you are looking for a premium acrylic yarn splurge with modern colours. I also recommend CotLin as a soft cotton yarn for a summer top. Heatherly Worsted is a great, super soft, durable wool acrylic blend in soft modern pastels.

A chain opening is created for the neck then the lace pattern is continued. A join-as-you-go band is worked to finish. The sides are seamed, leaving openings for the arms. The pattern is written for the smallest size, with larger sizes in parentheses ( ). If there is only 1 number, it applies to all sizes.
