Hi Luz,

Hi Luz,
Yes, you may add few more rows on the back part or add 2 rows on the back part and one row on the front parts (if possible).

Hi Sana, I'm having trouble

Hi Sana, I'm having trouble of how to make my backpart a little bit tighter. I tried it after I joined the shoulder part and it came loosely at the back neck I can see there's a gap. I really don't want to frag it, so now I'm doing the edges, first I did dc round and skip 1 chain. Do you have an idea of how to make the back neck a little tighter? Pls. advise. Thanks.

Hi Luz,

Hi Luz,
You may read the very last sentence of the written instruction to decrease some chs from the back side of the neck while working the very first row of dc. I do not see the gap. You may attach a picture, so I could see it too.

I did skip some dc before I

I did skip some dc before I did the edges , maybe I need to decrease more dc. I attached a picture if you can see I folded the one I want to make it more smaller.

You probably cut the yarn off

You probably cut the yarn off by now. So, I would suggest to attach the main yarn and work one sc or sl.st row for the back neck part only decreasing some chs. Then you decrease more chs when you'll crochet the edge. That should fix the problem.
I also see that you decreased some chs while working the bottom edge. I'm not sure whether you wanted it to be that way. I did not decrease chs there.

Hi Sana, yes I did decrease

Hi Sana, yes I did decrease the bottom. That's why it doesn't look like a jacket. I will frag the borders and start again.when you say decrease more at the edges, is that means, the front all the way up on back neck that I will do decreases? And the bottom there's no decreases? Did I understand it correctly ? Thanks.

I decreased chs from the back

I decreased chs from the back of the neckline only. I did not decrease chs from the front of the cardigan. Please read Bottom Edge at the very end of the written instruction. For the very first row, I just dc to end. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana, thank you for your

Hi Sana, thank you for your advise of how to decrease the back, I was able to finish it. And I ran out yarn again , do not have enough to make long sleeves. I would love to have long sleeves maybe I'll make another one.

Hi Luz,

Hi Luz,
I'm glad that you were able to finish your work. It looks beautiful. I love the yarn color combination. Congratulation!
