Hi Sana, I started to do this
Hi Sana, I started to do this with 128 foundation chains, I need an advise. Do I have to follow exactly your pattern or I have differently since I have bigger size. Thanks.
Since it is a top-down
Since it is a top-down crochet technique, you need to split the number of chs to back, 2 shoulder, and front parts to know where to work separations between parts. Then just follow the pattern working more repeats in each part. Happy crochet!

3 or 4 XL. Sorry but I do not understand your comments above could you clarify for me how the starting chain should be? I love this pattern and so glad I found it and found your website! You have beautiful patterns! Thank you !
Hi tonnieam,
Hi tonnieam,
Please read my comment to Janina on the second comment page. You have different sizes, but if you add more repeats, it might be too wide on your shoulders. Then follow the pattern until your back and front parts will be wide enough to your chest circumference. Happy crochet!
