Playtime Sampler Sweater

Good morning from my favorite vacation spot, my home state of Michigan.  As the sweltering heat of sub-tropical Houston, approaches in late April, I always long for the mild summers of Michigan for my summer break.

Been buddying up to Pinterest lately; Russian and Japanese crochet designers have been my inspiration for the Playtime Sampler Sweater.

First, I found the tulip pattern at this lovely designer's blog:  http://hakenenmeer.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/inspiratie.html

Then, Mandala patterns caught my eye from http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/ruchiyk/post266786596/


Thus, the Playtime Sampler Sweater was created.  Playtime Sampler Sweater

Aquamarine Ballet Tie Pattern Errata/ Suggestion


Finishing:  To keep the lower lapels overlapped, place a button on the opposite, inside lower front of the lower tie to hold the overlapped lapels in place.  Use the filet crochet as the button hole.
