Breton by Alison Green

Craft: Crochet

Breton is a charming crochet cardigan with a relaxed drop-shoulder construction that’s dressed up with a mesh stitch pattern and cluster stitch column details. Modern Linen lends its crisp stitch definition and gorgeous drape to Breton, making this elegant layer a chic finishing touch to any summer outfit. 

Breton is crocheted in one piece from the bottom up to the underarms, where the back and fronts are completed separately and seamed together at the shoulders. Sleeves are worked flat separately and sewn in during finishing.
