Dear Sana!

Dear Sana!
Sorry for asking, but i still have some trouble deciding which is the right side of the sweater.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Mesüge,

Hi Mesüge,
You may use any yarn you like or available in your local craft store. If you will choose a thinner yarn, it might be necessary to work 2 more rounds before joining front and back parts together depending on your gauge and size. Happy crochet!

I am glad that you crocheted your sleeves. Thank you for finding my typo in the 5th round. I appreciate it. I corrected the typo. When your sweater will be ready, I would be happy to see your work.

Hi Sana, I finished the blouse and my yarn so thick but it says on the tag light 3. The bottom ribbing is curling.Should I add more rows of ribbing so it won’t curl? Pls. Advise. Thanks.

Hi Luz,

Hi Luz,
Thank you for sharing your work with us. Your sweater looks beautiful and your sleeves look narrow. Your bottom edge looks like mine to me. I suggest you to work the very last bottom round like this – ch3, FPdc1, [BPdc1*, FPdc1] to end; + sl.st.1 under first 3chs of the round. *BPdc - back post dc. Work it as FPdc but insert your hook from the back of your work. Happy crochet!

Thank you! I’ll do that. The only thing I can say on my sweater is loose at the ribbing section, it’s not like yours that is fitted.My sleeves are perfect to me.
