I found it on Ravelry as well as Joann websites, added it to my que! I will be tweaking this though as my chest is big and I will need (it is a must) straps!

thank you so much, its a lovely sweater, and I really hope I can make it but I was wondering if you could help me, I don't understand what it means... "When instructed to work stitches "in next shell", work the stitch(es) in the ch-2 space of the shell.

Melissa Ryan

Oct 20, 2014

Hi Fedetla, thanks for your message. This means you're going to work in the ch-2 space of the previous row. So, for example, if the row before you're instructed to do something like, "1 sc in next stitch, ch 2, 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook", you're going to work in that space where you chained 2 and skipped the chains. Hope that helps! FaveCrafts Editor

Love it! Don't want to take it off. I had to make some adjustments to the pattern to match my yarn and me but it was so well written that was easy. Will defs make again

I think I would add very thin shoulder straps on this and a tad longer on the bottom. Very pretty pattern but unless some length is added, not for but very thin none busty gals, maybe.

I love the look of this pattern, but am I the only one that thinks the pineapples are upside down. Why do this pattern with a front and back? A circle would be easier.

melissasea22

 

Jun 04, 2017

I know it is 2017 and I am answering your question for future persons to read my answer, yes the pineapples are upside down, but as with a lot of other pineapple patterns they are also considered as "Pinecones" in this configuration. The Original name was "Aqua Aloha" top for the old caron spa yarn site (Not online anymore (.) Aloha means Hello and goodbye, the symbol should be pineapples but the designer made them pinecones (which by the way are also considered a welcoming sign and a farewell sign) which are another sign of hello and good bye... Odd strange facts in my head promted me to elaborate! Sorry.

I really like this one. The other one is ok, but it looks like something i could go buy at the store and not have to spend all that time making it (not to mention the money on the yarn). This one is different and very classy.

This is much prettier than the other top, but both tops share a feature I wouldn't have in my wardrobe. That off-the-shoulder look keeps me from making either one. If only I could figure out how to make this design into a more traditional sweater, I'd have my crochet hook out right now...

For makenna - the "0 (1, 0, 1) are the instructions for the different sizes. If you look at the beginning of the directions, you'll see that there are directions for four different sizes. The directions for the smallest size are given first, the directions for the next three sizes are given in parentheses, in ascending size order, separated by commas. I hope this helps!

This is a beautiful pattern. I wold love to start working on it now, but alread have a project going that must be finished shortly, besides packing to move. You have too many beautiful projects on the site today. I have save many of them so sometime in the not too distant future. Thanks.

I don't understand what "0 (1, 0, 1) time;" means. If you could explain it, that would be wonderful.
