Hello Sana,
Hello Sana,
I love your patterns, I would like to try this one.
Could you please advise me about the gauge ? I don't know what part I should do as a "repeat".
Thank you very much for your advises

Hi Mela,
Hi Mela,
I would advise you to practice your gauge. Make a foundation chain of about 57 chs to work 4 repeats or (4 x 14) +1 = 57 chs and work step 2 (repeats are in brackets/[ ]). Happy crochet!

Hi sri,
Hi sri,
I would love to help you out, but I do not know your gauge. The pattern requirement is multiples of 14. The initial foundation chain will depend on many factors like your gauge, size, and how wide you want your neckline to be.

Hi Sana. Thanks for this
Hi Sana. Thanks for this beautiful pattern. I started with ch141 and the top part is fine but I have some problems with round 12. My armholes are too tight. I tried ch18 but they are still tight. Kindly advice thanks

Hi Jayshree,
Hi Jayshree,
It will be necessary to measure your armholes first, and then estimate how many chs to add depending on your gauge. You may create any number of chs. When you do it, I'll help you with the 13th round. Happy crochet!
