Several months ago I designed the Starlight View Throw using a super fun yarn carrying technique to give it a very pretty and unique look. I loved working it up so much that I made a top using the same technique! The Sleepy Seaside Sweater crochet pattern turned out just as I imagined!!
I wanted my top to be long sleeve but still have a light and breathable wear to it. I used a double crochet offset V-St to give it a bit of a mesh look. It has a loose and boxy fit with a wide neckline to be worn off the shoulder! It is sooo cozy too! If you want a more fitted neck instead of “off the shoulder” you can add more rounds to your trim for an easy adjustment.
To give the Sleepy Seaside Sweater its mixed yarn look, you will be carrying a secondary yarn throughout. You will only ever be making your stitches with Yarn A and bringing along Yarn B as you go. Be sure to check out my video tutorial if you are new to this technique, I show you exactly how to do it! For my secondary yarn I used a “prints” version of the 24/7 Cotton Dk. This has random colors added throughout the skein so if you use the same yarn, each sweater will have its own unique look! Check out the kit here!
