Assembly / Finishing

Fasten off and weave in all loose ends with a tapestry needle. You can create halter ties by chaining two long chains from the top corners of the piece and attaching them to the opposite corners, or by creating separate chains and sewing them in place.

Tips

  • To check your gauge, crochet a swatch of at least 10 cm x 10 cm in half double crochet. Count your stitches and rows to ensure they match the pattern gauge. Adjust your hook size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge.
  • If you prefer a longer top or dress, simply repeat Rnd 2-8 until your desired length is reached before fastening off.
