Thank you for sharing your gift in talent ♥️ You are creative! Your crochet patterns are beautiful! ♥️
I just love your work and style. And the fact that you can it any length. Your the greatest!!!
Thank you for all the beautiful Summer Tee’s. Where I live in California it seems sometimes it skips some seasons. Sometimes misses most of Winter, short Spring and Fall. I always like to wear a tank top and or light weight Tee.
Hi! I’ve tried my swatch with a 4mm hook at first and it wasn’t wide enough… But then when I went up to a 5mm hook, the swatch is almost the right width, but the height is way too tall. It definitely isn’t a square anymore lol. Any suggestions?? I love this top so much! But I don’t want to start on it and have it come out all wrong size wise. Thank you!!
Hi! I would use the 5 mm and then just make the top as long as you want 🙂
Thank you!! I have one last question, it’s probably a silly one… But… When you work into the chain 1 spaces, do you just go into the space below it, or do you actually work into the chain? The reason I’m asking is because in the past I’ve struggled to get stitches into the actual chain. So I’ve never been sure if I’m doing it right lol.
This looks really cute. I am making my first crochet cardigan now, so this might have to be my next project!
Hi
But I dun quite understand “Round 3: ch 1, turn, esc in 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 stitches, 2 esc in next, ch 2, 2 esc in next, esc in 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 stitches”,
When I have ch 1 n turn how do I esc in 10…? Wats the 10, 11, 12 etc…?.
Hi! Those are the numbers for the difference sizes. What size are you making?
I’m confused on the round 4-23. ch 1, turn, esc in each stitch to the ch 2 space, (esc, ch 2, esc) in ch 2 space, I should have 210 stitches by row 23. I’m not adding any stitches and I still have 106. Maybe I should do 2 sec ch2 2 sec in the chain 2 space?
Hi! You should be adding 8 stiches each round 🙂 Each corner increases by 2 stitches by adding (1 esc, ch 2, 1 esc) in each ch-2 corner space.
Thanks for getting back to me! I finally got it and it’s coming out great thanks for the pattern!
