Vesuvius is the sister pattern to the Etna Tee. A collection inspired by beautiful Italian landscapes and the roughness of terrain around the volcanic majesties that their namesakes are. Vesuvius is made top-down with a drop-shoulder construction and has perfectly fitted shoulders to eliminate excess fabric around the underarms. The Tee features a textured and airy stitch, which is perfect for summer garments, a wide over-sized fit and a split high-low hem; all finished with an elegant edging. Best part? Vesuvius is truly size inclusive with a design that ensures that the shoulder drops roughly in the same spot on all makers, regardless of their size. The details in this Tee will have you reaching for it time and time again!

Alternative Yarns

Any fingering or light sport weight yarn will work, but here are some I recommend based on weight and composition:

gauge

22 sts x 7 pairs of rows = 10 cm / 4in
In stitch pattern worked flat with 3.5 mm hook after blocking

Swatch Instructions

Stitch pattern for gauge, measuring a pair of sc/dc rows and a pair of sc/3-dc cl rows:

Ch odd number of sts.

Row 1: Ch1, sc to end, turn.

Row 2: Ch2, dc to end, turn.

Row 3: Ch1, sc to end, turn.

Row 4: Ch2, 2-dc cl in first st, ch1, sk1st, *3-dc cl, ch1, sk1st, rep from * to last st, 2-dc cl in last st, turn.

Repeat the 4-row pattern for the desired gauge swatch size.

On all Row 1 reps make sure to work into all sts and chsps alike.

Be sure to block and check gauge before starting by making a big enough gauge swatch (at least 15 x 15 cm / 6 x 6 in).

Certain materials might sag, and fabric may extend too much with drape, so adjust hook size appropriately.

Pink Linen Vesuvius

by Linda Kvarnström

Description

Used 4mm hook for the pattern as I liked the drape and feel of the 4mm swatch better than the 3.5mm swatch. Decreased the amount of rows and stitches as the 4mm swatch was too big.

Re-used yarn from a shrug I made years ago and never wore. Only had enough yarn for size 2, with a positive ease of 10cm. A slightly tighter fit than the pattern, but it looks good and feels even better!

Used the 5mm hook for the faux i-cord edging.

About the pattern:
The pattern is well written and laid out in a logical sequence. It has lots of info, including photos to guide you along. Highly recommended.

I would recommend this pattern for an advanced beginner to intermediate level crocheter.

About the yarn:
I’ve used this yarn in several projects and it is a firm favourite of mine. It can split, depending on hook size, so care is sometimes required.

NOTE:
My gauge was off by 1st/10cm, so this top is a little more oversized than it should be for the pattern.

The hem had a tendency to curl because of the slst’s. It required quite a severe blocking to flatten out. I would suggest using a larger hook than recommended or work your stitches very loose.
