For Luz,

For Luz,
The pattern adjustments for the XL size.
Step 1
Make a foundation chain of about 155 chs or (14 x 11) +1.
Step 3
12th round – ch4, (ch1, sk1, trc1) x 41, ch18, sk49, trc1, (ch1, sk1, trc1) x 41, ch18, sk49 + sl.st.1 into 4th ch
To make armholes deeper, I would work sc sts underarms instead of trc inc.
13th round – ch4, trc1 into sm.ch, (sk1, trc inc1) x 41, sk4, (sc2, ch1, sk1) x 3, sc2, sk4, trc inc1, (sk1, trc inc1) x 41, sk4, (sc2, ch1, sk1) x 3, sc2, sk4 + sl.st.1 into 1st inc between first 4 chs and trc
For the 14th round, work trc inc into trc inc of prev.round and trc inc between 2 sc sts underarms. 15th and other rounds, work trc inc into trc inc of prev.round to end.
Check your gauge from time to time. If necessary, you may use a different size crochet hook to adjust your gauge or decrease/increase chs.

Hi Sana,

Hi Sana,
Thank you again for my written Xl instructions, I decided to make the same size as yours for my sister and I use different yarn , a mercerized 100% cotton for some reasons It fit me not too loose not too tight maybe because of the yarn. I need an advise on the underarms. Can I sc more than one round? Actually I want a little bit longer. Thanks.

Hi Luz,

Hi Luz,
Yes, you may adjust the pattern as necessary. If you want deeper armholes, then work sc inc between sc sts of the prev. round underarms.

Hi Sana, I'm sorry to bother

Hi Sana, I'm sorry to bother you but on the underarms when I do sc inc I notice it it's curling up.I just did sc inc just at the bottom of the arms. So I do not know if I'm doing it right so I have to frogged it . Do you mean I have to do sc inc each all previous sc? And do I have to do sc inc. whatever rounds I needed to get the right gauge? Thank you so much.

Don't worry about my previous

Don't worry about my previous comment, I finally finish it,I have to finish it short because I'm running out of yarn. I'll post picture later.

You're welcome, Luz. Thank
