Tahki Bell-Sleeved Pullover

[Yarn Duck]

I made a shirt! And it fits! And I like it! And I've worn it twice this week, in public! Can you tell I'm a bit excited about this? :yes

It's the bell-sleeved pullover from Tahki's crochet book. Made with Tahki's Cotton Classic yarn. I really, really like how this turned out. You can also see it in my blog post here (http://yarnduck.blogspot.com/2006/05/fo-bell-sleeved-pullover.html).

And can you please tell me what the other patterns in the book are like? Thanks. :manyheart

[Yarn Duck]

Crochetdiva - That's not the book.

This is the book http://www.tahkistacycharles.com/Patterns/patterns_detail.asp?CatID=16&ID=781&New=TRUE&pg=1 .

Here are pics of the projects it contains http://www.tahkistacycharles.com/Patterns/patterns_th.asp?CatID=16&New=TRUE .

There are several projects I plan to make so this one was well worth the money for me.

[shella85222]

[Chrome Kitty]

Beautiful!:manyheart

[sLiPsTiTcH sR]

WOW = looks fantastic! I love how delicate the pattern appears. Is the bottom/lower edge scalloped (sorry, just can't see it in the photo...)??:c9

[Yarn Duck]

Thank ya'll all so much. (Ya'll all is Southernese for everybody.:D )

The bottom is scalloped. The neckline is finished with a row of reverse sc, which might just be my new favorite stitch.

[Luvmyrott'nboy]

It came out great!

I made it too out of TLC cotton plus in tan. I wore it to an Alumni dinner and got major compliments.

I highly recommend this pattern...it is easy to follow and works up quickly!

Actually the the booklet has several great projects.:)
