Magazine Photo courtesy of Annie&#8217;s<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I began working the vertical body, and almost had it together, when I received a call for submissions for Crochet! Magazine. Even though I liked the top for myself, I decided to submit the idea to the magazine. Ultimately it would benefit my friend more to have my design shared with the world, so others can see what a great yarn she has.<\/p>\n<p>Ellen Gormley loved the top, and so I set my personal top aside to complete the project for the magazine. It 8is now available to you in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anniescatalog.com\/detail.html?prod_id=132292&amp;cat_id=1293&amp;source=EPCCF\" target=\"_blank\">Autumn 2016 issue of Crochet! Magazine.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think it came out great! I like working the fabric vertically as I feel it lends itself to a more slimming line, and the lace on top gives it a lighter feel. There is some interesting construction in this design, as you work the solid body first, then begin the lace in to round. After the lace is a couple of inches long, you attach it to the solid body and continue toward the neck, working in decreases to come over the shoulders to the neck.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1284 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cover-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cover\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cover-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cover.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>I added beads to the lace edging, as a little extra highlight, but also for the practice purpose of helping to keep the lace draping in a manner I like.<\/p>\n<p>Personally I love the color, but it can easily shine in any color.
