Hi Sana, the xl that you
Hi Sana, the xl that you suggested for me I think it's a little bigger so I did the 149 chains.Do I have to do the increase part step 2? I did skip and I'm on step 3 right now. Pls advise. Thanks.
Sana replied on Permalink
No, you do not have to work
No, you do not have to work step 2 the increase. To widen the back part, I would suggest working dc2 before the patterns starts, before the very first dc2 into 1ch, and then dc2 at the very end of a row after last dc2 into 1ch. But then it will be necessary to decrease those extra chains to work the back shoulder pieces totally the same as front shoulder pieces.

Hi Sana, I really like this
Hi Sana, I really like this sweater. Can you recommended some other yarn types.
Sana replied on Permalink
Hi Loripjoyner,
Hi Loripjoyner,
You may use any yarn you like. The most important thing is to match your gauge to mine to get the same size. Happy crocheting!

Hi Sana, pls. Advise, I'm on
Hi Sana, pls. Advise, I'm on the sleeves now and I noticed it that the opening where I'll attach the sleeves is too wide to the sleeves. Maybe it will not look good. By the way it's snuggy on the chest.But I don't want to frog it.

Hi Luz,
Hi Luz,
You may widen the top of a sleeve by using a larger size crochet hook. In addition, the last 27th round (step 9) is an increase round. So, I would suggest you to try to finish a sleeve and see whether it will be wide enough to your armhole accordingly.

Hi Sana, I tried already with
Hi Sana, I tried already with the larger hook and still wide. so I just attach the yarn on the armhole and made a short sleeves instead. Thank you again.
