I have been looking for a pattern like this Short Sleeveless Top. But after reading the written pattern, found for free when you go down the page. I have a question? Is there another yarn that can be used for this? It calls for Alpaca 4 ply, so would any 4 ply yarn work? I love the easy of the the written pattern and so want to make this..I like that there is also a diagram to show how it is put together. Fingers are crossed and praying mine comes out as good as the one pictured.. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern.
