G-Squared Boat Neck Top Free Crochet Pattern

Image
Here’s one of my new spring/summer 2014 patterns!  It is fun and the color variations are endless!  Make it all one color, or spice it up with your favorite shades.  Comfortable and stretchy, I used a lightweight yarn with a larger than suggested hook size, keeping the upcoming warmer weather in mind!  I used 2 colors, white and steal grey, but this would look great in any color combo, I don’t think you could go wrong.  You could even use several colors, not just two colors!  This is a pattern from my actual spring/summer collection.  I am giving it away to my loyal followers for free.  Please do not copy my pattern, sell my pattern, or the finished product online.  I sell finished work online, you’d be therefore in direct competition with me, and it is against my copyright.  HOWEVER, I do not mind you making this for personal use, or for selling at live crafting events or markets in your area. This pattern has not been tested!  I am human and capable of typos,
