Notes

I originally wanted to make a tunic dress from this pattern, but when I realised how vulnerable the yarn is to fluffing I changed my mind and made a cropped drop shoulder top instead.

Because I used a much finer weight yarn, I recalculated the stitch counts etc - based on the width of the finished garment.

Other mods:
-only used the diamond pattern in a central column front and back rather than allover.
-Made the sleeves just above elbow length and close fitting to offset the width in the body.
-crocheted around the neckline with a 4 ply purple cotton, to stop the garment from sliding off my shoulders while I wear it.
