Alternate the 30th and 31st rows until you crochet 6 rows.

Alternate the 2 above rows of the pattern until you crochet 6 rows. At the end of the 40th row, work RC1.

After that slip stitch down to your 35th row and finish crocheting the 35th row as a mirror reflection to the beginning of 35th row (step 4) – (dc2, hdc1) into 1ch, ch1, sk1, dc1, sk1, trc1, sk1, trc dec1, sk1, trc1, sk1, dc1, ch1, sk1, sc3 into 1ch, sc1

Hi Sana,
Hi Sana,
I made a foundation chain of 165 chains, but towards the end, the remaining chains are 5 instead of three as in your video tutorial.
I am stuck here. Could you please help?!

Sorry for bothering.
Thanks!

Hi deepikadutt,
Hi deepikadutt,
I usually suggest to try the pattern on a small sample, but I'm glad that you figured it out. Happy crochet!

Hi,i made cardigan size xl
Hi,i made cardigan size xl and according to comments i skipped one repeat under each arm and made the rest as in video now iam on sleeve but the repeat i skipped make the sleeve opening very wide what can i do
Sana replied on Permalink
Hi Dina,
Hi Dina,
If you believe that your armholes are too wide, you may frog 2 rows from the front and back parts and then join them together again. To make sleeves wider, it is necessary to use a larger size crochet hook and/or add chains while working the very last row. Happy crochet!

Hi.. I am a beginner and like this pattern.. My size is M , can anyone give me tips and the size of chain and hook I should start with..
Sana replied on Permalink
Hi Deepikamalini,
Hi Deepikamalini,
I always recommend to check your gauge before starting any crochet/knit project. For that, it's necessary to make a foundation chain of about 21 chs (16 + 5) to crochet one repeat and work step 1. After that, measure how wide the repeat is. If your repeat is about 4.6 inches, then you can follow the pattern exactly. If not, you may adjust your gauge by using a larger size crochet hook or/and thicker yarn. Happy crochet!

Hello Sana,
Hello Sana,
I'm new to cardigan crocheting and have a small problem. After each repeat, I'm not getting a consistent 3tr and 2tr at the end. i'm counting my stitches. For the sc row, how many stitches should I have? Perhaps this is what's messing me up. Thank you.
