Snuggle up in this soft and cozy crochet sweater. The Plush & Blush Crop Top is a pleasure to wear and crochet. The sweater is made by combining a strand of mohair with a soft fingering weight yarn. The result is a light and fuzzy sweater that is simply heavenly. The crochet pattern is worked in one piece so it’s perfect for beginners and includes a video tutorial.
The Plush & Blush Crop Top is featured in Crochet Foundry Magazines Winter Issue.

Yarn Review
To get a soft and fuzzy halo to this crochet sweater I choose to work one strand of Aloft mohair yarn with one strand of Palette, a light-fingering weight yarn. The effect is a soft and light crop top that is similar to using a DK weight yarn. These yarns together worked up beautifully and glided effortlessly with my odyssey crochet hook. I love working with mohair yarn but because it’s so fine I prefer to combine it with another yarn. It’s a great way to get that soft silky feel but work it up much quicker.
