Design by Drew Emborsky

Light and airy, the body of this unique shell is crocheted in a Tunisian “knit” stitch with a DK-weight cotton and a very large size Q/15mmTunisian crochet hook. Each side is a simple rectangle sewn to its mirror image at the side seams. The “necklace” is constructed with plastic rings covered in single crochet and joined together to form the yoke and straps.
