Materials Used
Bare Naked Wools Breakfast Blend
Bare Naked Wools Breakfast Blend is a delicious, 3-ply pairing of soft, combed merino and alpaca yarn, which knits up into a luxurious, velvety fabric. The alpaca contributes a silky hand while the merino keeps the yarn bouncy and light; the resulting fabric has a warm density and soft halo without weight, perfect for garments, accessories, or blankets.

Example of the Filet Boxes Stitch
I love this open airy pattern! It is perfect for summer time vests. But I have a question. If I wanted to crochet this in the round, how would I increase the rounds? If anyone knows how, I would grealty appreciate it! I’ve been struggling with it for a few days.
Thanks!
