A local yarn store has asked me to design a garment for beginners using the Alpaca Yarns Spritz collection. The yarn is 59% Baby Alpaca and 42% Prima Cotton so has a lovely drape to it. It comes in 100g Skeins at 260m I used exactly 4 for the size small.

I will also be using this pattern to teach to my crochet students throughout the year. The Alpaca yarn is on the pricey side so would love to see it made up in other yarn options. It is a 8ply/DK weight but is on the thinner side the yarn label 22 Sts 10cm and a 3.5mm hook so look for yarn around this gauge. I did up samples with a few 8ply I had and some worked up to stiff and bulky. 

Im looking for 2 pattern testers for each size to check my crochet maths works up correctly there are bound to be a few mistakes so be prepared that you may have to make changes along the way. The sample pictured is a size small.

You will have 6 weeks to complete the pattern test final notes and photos due 20th February 2025.

Approximate amount of yarn needed: XS 990m, S 1040m, M 1210m, L 1310m, XL 1450m, 2XL 1570m, 3XL 1700m
