Description
The breezy Red Dahlia Top features a combination of two traditional crochet techniques: motif lace reminiscent of Irish crochet and filet crochet. Create the Irish crochet yoke by making separate floral motifs and joining them together. The body uses open and closed filet stitches to create floral patterning.
