Designed to showcase the beauty of my friend Heike’s gradient yarn, Amour Bleu-corail ( = Blue love) features lacy gradient mesh rows, cute heart-shaped front ties and a picot edging.

Made top down in one piece, it’s easy as pie to make and the pattern includes many step-by-step pictures and tutorials to guide you along the way.

Sizes included: XS to XL.

Gauge: 15.5 stitches and 7.5 rows = 4 inches in dc in the front loop (US crochet terms)

Price: $6 on Etsy, Ravelry or Craftsy.
