Hi Rosy,
I would work the 4 rows of the pattern without working first and last shells, and then join/seam sides together.
1st row – ch3, [flower1 into arch of 3 chs] to end; dc1 + RC6
2nd row – [hdc3 between picots, ch3] to end; dc1 + RC3
3rd row – (Vst, picot1, dc2) into arch of 3chs, [flower1 into arch of 3 chs] to last arch of 3chs;(dc2, picot1, Vst) into arch of 3chs, dc1 + RC3
4th row – hdc3 between picots, [ch3, hdc3 between picots] to end; dc1 + RC3

Hi Manny,
Hi Manny,
I suggest you to watch this video https://youtu.be/HpHm-0hpZz4 from about 19:30 to see how I work a similar pattern in the round. The patterns are almost identical, but there I worked double crochets instead of half double crochets. Happy crochet!
Hi Sana, I’m doing a chain of
Hi Sana, I’m doing a chain of 60 however mine is coming up a lot smaller than what yours seems to be. I’m really stuck and confused can you help?? I’m using a DK weight yarn 100% acrylic as I can’t get the lions brand yarn needed here in the UK hook size 4mm. Thank you Manny
Hi Manny,
Hi Manny,
I suggest you to work more rows before joining back and front parts together. Measure your chest circumference. The length of the back and both front parts should be about the same or a little bit smaller than the length of your chest circumference. When your back and front parts will be wide enough for your chest circumference, join them together. Happy crochet!
