The second piece of the capsule collection dedicated entirely to Cinque Terre, is a multicoloured sundress and here too we’ve used our brand-new pure cotton Lincoln yarn.
Crocheted, short, sleeveless with stretched stitches it’s an ideal sundress but also a cover up. Just add a pair of sneakers, like Giulia, or sandals (you’re bound to find the perfect pair on Lanapo) to get a sassy and comfy look.
Let's get going with the tutorial!

Equip yourselves with a needle and crochet hook n° 2.5 EU / G/2 US and following the steps in order below you’ll finish the sundress:
-Sew the shoulders and the hips;
-Finish off the neck with 2 double crochets in each arch;
