Hello Sana,
Hello Sana,
I am using 4ply wool and 4.50mm crochet hook. I am having a lot of problems trying to line up the pattern with the previous 1st line. I made a chain of 149 stichs. Any suggestions where I am going wrong?
Best Regards

Hi SSeaman18,
Hi SSeaman18,
I suggest you to work the pattern on a small sample first. You may make a foundation chain of about 37 chs and work 4 rows or so. It is easier to see mistakes on a small piece compare to a big one. You may also attach the picture of the sample, so I can see it also. Happy crochet!

The number of repeats should
The number of repeats should be even. You may use 133 chs (16chs x 8repeats) +5chs and use a larger size crochet hook or 165 chs (16chs x 10repeats) +5chs and use a smaller size crochet hook to adjust the gauge.

Hi Ms.Sana, now i made a
Hi Ms.Sana, now i made a foundation chain of 213 chs and finished ripple stitch (30). But now i confused for the other part .
(1) where can i start to each front part
and shoulder part in which chain from the beginning of my (30rd row).
(2) And how many rows i repeat for the back part and armhole?
(3) how to calculate chain to join with sleeves and shoulder pieces?
Please kindly give me advice. Thanks.

Hi suthwe,
Hi suthwe,
(1) since it is the 2 row pattern, you worked your row 30 as your 2nd row. Begin your first front part as your 1st row, but work 3 repeats only (work 3 repeats for each front part and 6 repeats for the back part) instead of the whole row. Repeat the 2 row pattern for about 6 rows, and then start working the shoulder part.
(2) for the back part work 2 rows more compare to the front part. If you decide to work for the front part 6 rows, work for the back part 8 rows.
(3) wrap the bottom part of the garment around your upperarm, and then estimate how many repeats you need to work for each sleeve.
Happy crochet!

Hi sana, please give me advise for my questions. Now I am looking forward your advice and waiting to continue as your advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi suthwe,
Hi suthwe,
If your gauge is about the same as mine, then 6 front part rows will be enough. You may add 2 more rows, if you think it might not be enough in your case. If you decide to add 2 more rows for the front part, it will be necessary to add 2 more rows for the back part accordingly.
You may measure your row height and around your upperarm to estimate how many rows you need to crochet to fit arms. Armholes shouldn't be too wide.
For the front shoulder part, work 2 repeats otherwise your neckline might be too wide for you. For the back shoulder part work 2 repeats also.
Happy crochet!
