Motif Duster - Crochet Digital Pattern
There are two things the Shibaguyz really love: Dusters, and the 70's. When we were asked to create this 70's inspired duster for Interweave Crochet Magazine, we were in heaven!
We think you will be in heaven too when you see how fast this garment comes together. The "flowers" are made from a fun bobble stitch in all join-as-you-go crochet (so no seaming needed there...). The top section is a simple sc/Hdc pattern stitch that even newbies will find fun to work up. We also give you all the instructions you need to be able to change yarns in the round.
This digital download includes the full crochet pattern in PDF format with photos, charts, and blocking schematic.
