09-013 Spike (Crochet)

"A tough guy name for a sweet cotton sweater, but what else could I call it?" asks Temple innocently. "Spike single crochet stitches of varying depths provide a wavy, three-color pattern at the hems and across the front of the sweater, while the same three colors in simple single crochet accent the scoop neckline. The mercerized cotton yarn adds a slight sheen to the textured stitches, making Spike a good date no matter where you are going." Gauge is 15 sts and 9 rows to 4"/10cm in shell stitch. American crochet terminology.
