Great idea! I love it even more than D&G dress! Thank you!
Hello,
Round 4: ch-4, tc in next 6 dc – what does tc mean? It is not listed in the stitches used list.
Thank you for your help.
Tc=Triple/treble crochet
TREBLE crochet in next 6 dc
Truly inspirational! I feel the need for one in each colour, but longer given I’m 48 and not in as wonderful shape as you :)
Awesome! I’m making this right now. There are a few errors though. I believe in row 8 there should be another chain 5. Easy to catch it. It’s working up beautifully. I hope my daughter loves it. Thank you so much!!
Maybe you can help me. I dont know how to get 52 inches with a 1.5 hook when I can only get 38 inches with a 2.5mm hook?
You should crochet more chains at the beginning a multiply of 18 until you’ll reach the desired width
Or maybe she took another post by mypicot: http://www.mypicot.com/crochet_patterns_photo_11.html
I’m making this in white right now and then going to dip dye it pink at bottom and fad to white a top … so far it looks soo cool
Any suggestions if I am a size XL and want to extend it to be a full length top?
Make more stitches at the beginning (Multiple 18) according to your size and croche longer lace tapes
