Pebble & Salt Button up

Crochet pattern button-up | Pebble & Salt Button-up | unisex shirt | digital pdf, English US, Dutch **The Pebble and Salt Button-Up is inspired by slow afternoons along the southern European shoreline weathered seaside tavernas, sun-bleached stone walls, salt on your skin, and smooth pebbles glistening under the water. Designed with an airy open construction and flowing drape, this unisex piece captures the effortless feeling of throwing on a lightweight shirt after a swim or during a late dinner overlooking the sea. The stitch pattern combines texture and openness, creating a fabric that feels breathable, relaxed, and full of movement. Alternating stripes and delicate shaping mimic the layered colors of rocky coastlines and shifting waves, while the construction itself is much simpler than it may first appear.** **Yarn Requirements** To complete this project, you’ll need approximately 200 to 800 grams of category 2 yarn. The exact amount may vary depending on your chosen size and any adjustments you make. I recommend you use a natural and lightweight fiber, such as cotton or bamboo. Also check out the final page to see how much yarn the pattern testers used. *You'll need 70% of your main color (Base color) and 30% of your contrast color (CC). Ex. I made a Size M and used 350 grams of cotton yarn for the mid-length version and 410 grams for the full length size M version (pictured by the male model).* **Yarn recommendation (50g – 170m):** Hobbii Rainbow Deluxe 8/4 Paintbox Yarns Cotton 4-ply Cotton Kings Cotton 8/4 In addition to the yarn, you’ll need a crochet hook appropriate for the yarn of your choice (ex. 3.5mm), measuring tape, 5 – 10 15mm buttons (depending on the length and spacing), and needle. **Skill Level** This pattern is suitable for crocheters with intermediate skills as it requires the crocheter to be able to measure and use some math.
