We are doing this CAL together! Please Note!! The CAL is written in US terminology!! What are we making?

Fishnet Summer Top Pattern

-
Image
This top is worked top down using DK 50% acrylic 50% cotton from hobbycraft Cotton Blend Plain Knit Craft (available in various colours) or Scheepjes Softfun. The main criteria is for it to be DK in 50/50, 60/40 or 40/60 cotton acrylic. My top weighs 95g and I guess you could say that mine is a Medium in size. I am using a 4 so use either a 4.5 or a 5 if you have tight tension. (in the video I am using a 4.5 and my top is slightly bigger than a M, maybe a L) Use stitch-markers to help you indicate which is the first box of the round. It is very hard to see which is the start of the row! I am using US terminology  For the video click here   Fishnet Summer Top  Method Round 1: CH 130, making sure your chain is not twisted, SS to close Round 2: CH2, 1HDC in each chain, ss (130) Round 3: *CH6 skip 4 stitches and SC in 5th stitch*, place a stitch marker in this box, repeat ** until you meet the box with the stitch marker but the last CH6 is done by doing CH
