Arafura by Alison Green

Arafura is a cropped crochet tank with geometric lace details. A versatile popover, Arafura is crocheted in Seaspun to give a beautiful second life to recycled materials.

Crocheted tank is worked from the bottom up in the round, then divided for front and back sections at the armhole and seamed at the shoulders.
