The Yarn

I used WeCrochet Brava Sport for my tunic. Brava Sport is a lovely premium acrylic yarn that is great for garments!

It comes in a large variety of colors and is very affordable. It can be machine washed and dried and does a great job of keeping it’s shape and softness after washing. I also love that it has 340 yards in just one skein!

You will need 910-1479 yards of yarn, depending on which size you make.

Pattern Details

This crochet top is a top down workup with sleeves added at the end.

The Aspen Tunic crochet pattern comes with instructions for women’s sizes XS to 2X.

It is rated intermediate in difficulty level. For help with the cabled section you’ll find a link to a video tutorial in the pattern.
