Connecting motifs to each other as you go while crocheting the last round of each
I love the neckline.
That is very classy looking.
Incredible Jane!! I am simply in awe of your work, and the manner in which you so openly and graciously share the patterns with all of us non-pattern makers!!
Bravo!

This is a very lovely pattern. I just finished making my own version of the top. It looks amazing. Thanks for sharing this beautiful patten.
I am to the finish of this pattern. I need to know how to crochet the square that connects the shoulder pieces!
What do you mean?
Could you suggest a substitute Lace weight yarn in a natural fiber that would do this pattern justice?!
It is really beautiful, and the pattern design is so intricate, I want to make sure that I pick up all of the detail work as I crochet along~
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern with us! You are truly amazing and talented–

Number of motifs depend on your measurements.
Can you please tell the amount of motifs needed for the sizes that can be made?
Examples : 1 – Bust size 35 – 37 Make 42 motifs –
2 – Bust size 38 – 40 Make 59 motifs
Of course I don’t know if this is correct, as it is just an example. Thanks for your help!
Can you show us how to assemble it please
