My name is Linda Thornton and I am from South Africa. Your pattern is stunning and seems easy to follow. The pattern is the orange summer top. How many chains for size 38 to 40.
I am finishing up one of your items. I l love this one. This is the next one I’m making.
I have a question. What yarn should I be using to make garments? I can only find #3 light and a #1. What should the yarn be made out of?
I am trying to make one with 120 chains, but I’ve got stuck. I do not know how to make the arm pit since I have less patterns like you. Can you help me.
Thanks
it has a big 3 on the size of the yarn ball wrapper so i am assuming its a double knit yarn in uk and light worsted other areas that’s what i’m going to try 🙂
I am an ex Lrg, my bust size is 46, how many chains do I need to make this beautiful blouse?
