I’m almost finished making this top. It is adorable! This is the third pattern I’ve made of yours. They’re all so cute.
Hi GIGi, thanks u so much, I cannot wait to see when u finished them.
HI
I’m looking for a summer top that u had on your website and it was red. It was a simple pattern to follow and I was wondering if the pattern was available or I had to buy it? The top looked like a dc and sc!
Could u please let me know as I would like to make it, I believe it was made in a acrylic yarn, but I could be wrong and it’s made out of cotton. How thick is the cotton, if that’s what was used?
Thanks
Cathrin
HI Cathrin, the top that you was talking about it call twist me pretty and their are made from single and double crochet and yes you can also made them with acrylic yarn. I made them with cotton because it was hot here in Thailand if you make them with acrylic yarn would be perfect for the cold and chill weather.
the cotton I use how thick maybe 3 -4 ply or you can use 24/7 cotton lion brand yarn would be similar.
I am making it in Large. How long should the rectangles be? My measurement from my shoulder to the top of my high waist is about 14 inches. Should I make it that long?
HI Jeanne, in your case ,It should be around 12 inch long. The length should be cover our chest or under bust size.
I would like to make this longer. Is that possible?
HI I am making the xl your small says 9″ long.
How long should the xl be? Rose
I haven’t started this yet, but had a questions about the ruffle. Are you using stitch markers to mark the end of each round? How are you joining the end of the last round on the ruffle and the sleeeves?
Hi terri, I donot join round , i work continue in spiral.
HI Lori. you rectangle should be about your bust size brign your fitting t shirt and make the rectagle or the foundation chain then if the foundation chain match your fitting t shirt , if it off by 1 or 2 inch donot worry about it because the yarn and the stitch will stretch it out, it all good, this is the tip that i always use.
Hi lori for size2x for my tip the size of your rectagle should be matching you fitting t-shirt.
