Today's crochet project can be summarized in one word: timeless. We're talking about a long-sleeved sweater made with granny squares and daisy squares, interspersed with perforated inserts adorned with shells. A gorgeous garment in Capri style that one's wardrobe can't afford to be without. Furthermore, this sweater we have combined cotton and linen yarns, Cleopatra, which gives this piece a highly refreshing appearance.
