BACK TAPE

I made the back tape a bit wider than other tapes (+ 5 dc). I adjusted the size in this way because of the width of my back (I wear 32D or 70D), so if you wear a bigger size you should crochet 2 “20 dc stitches tapes” instead the bigger one. You’ll get a size M.

Size L –  you will need FRONT-BACK TAPES – 4 details, FRONT TAPES -2 details, BACK TAPES (20 dc tapes) – 2 details

Size XL –  you will need FRONT-BACK TAPES – 4 details, FRONT TAPES -2 details, BACK TAPES (20 dc tapes) – 3 details

Size XXL-XXXL – you will need FRONT-BACK TAPES – 6 details, FRONT TAPES -2 details, BACK TAPES (20 dc tapes) – 3 details
