Hello! Thank you very much

Hello! Thank you very much for sharing your work with us. I am trying to make this blouse in a large or x-large. Can you please let me know how many chains I should use? Thank you!

Hi croch3tlov3,

Hi croch3tlov3,
For the L/XL size, I would make a foundation chain of 133 chs to work 22 repeats. When you crochet to your 22nd round, work one more repeat for each front and back parts and skip the same number of repeats for each shoulder part. I wouldn't use a smaller size crochet hook at all. I'd crochet using even larger size crochet hook to widen the garment from the bottom. Happy crochet!

Hi, firstly I want to thank

Hi, firstly I want to thank you for the wonderful and helpful videos you upload

Secondary, I want to ask you I tried to follow a previous project of you and I found that starting with a foundation chain of 121 was a wide one for me(my size is XS)
And I had to add extra rows after finishing to adjust it(i will upload you the garment photo)
If I started with a smaller foundation chain, have I to do any extra steps or just follow the same instructions?
Many great thanks in advance

Hi jackleen,

Hi jackleen,
If the foundation chain of 121 chs is too wide, you may work sc (edge) around your neck decreasing some chains. Happy crochet!
