This pattern is totally UK TR – easy peasy. I’d make it much longer, probably thigh length but that’d be easy to do – just crochet more rows … and even more if you wanted to make this into a dress.
I’d also make it in black. I like everything black!
It’s from Caron and is available on-line or as a downloadable pdf file.
I’m with you as I’d make it a bit longer too.
Let us know if you do!
