Hi Luz,
Hi Luz,
Thank you for sharing your work with us and modeling it. I appreciate it. Probably because of we had different gauge, your sleeves look wide. You may fix it by working sc or dc decreasing some sts. Just a suggestion. Happy crochet!

Hi Minakshi,
Hi Minakshi,
I would advise you to practice your gauge/tension on a small piece before starting the big one. If you adjust your gauge to one repeat equals about 4.9 inches, you may follow the pattern exactly. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana,
Hi Sana,
I love your work alot and have made tops already. Can i suggest something? Can you please write out measurements for M/L/XL in advance? As you are always writing for S. It will be so much better if you just write out in your tutorial than in the question part.

Hi Oorja,
Hi Oorja,
I would use a larger size crochet hook to adjust my gauge to one repeat =4.75 inches. The other option is to add one chain to the beginning and ending of a row. If you choose the second option, it will be necessary to adjust the pattern. Happy crochet!
