CROCHET: A typically seventies set; a little halter top with a matching fringed shawl in treble groups or granny square stitch”. They were originally made in a mohair effect soft and fluffy yarn called “Kitten”! However, modern soft cotton in “Aran” weight could be used for a cute festival top and triangular summer shawl/neck scarf.
The top has negative ease with a carefully shaped, close to body fit. There is shaping at waistline and bustline to fit the bodice-which works beautifully-and is especially useful for fitting nicely on curvy shapes.
The shawl has deep fringing and is made point upwards to the neckline, so you can easily alter the size. The long knotted fringe is lovely-but quite heavy on yarn, sadly.
