Hello, I am working on this cute project now, on my vacation, but I am lost right at the beginning of the BACK and FRONT instructions. I am making the Small size, so I counted exactly 82 ch stitches before row 1 and followed instructions exactly for row 1 (tripple-checked!), but at the end of the first row ended up with 1 less ch-4 space and one less dc (I do know that when you start row 2, the ch stitches count as dc, ch-space, according to the parenthetical remark). Otherwise all looks great, like perhaps I could just continue, but I'm worried that it will mess up the lower edging pattern on the bottom of the cami. So, what gives? If anyone came across this, please let me know. Thank you kindly!

This cami is adorable. I love the lacy sides. I am still a beginner and this pattern is a little complicated for me so I'll have to learn how some of these stitches are done before I can attempt this pattern.

I can't knit, but I love this top.

How can this be enlarged to a 3x?

Hi there, Unfortunately this is the largest image we have. If you would like additional help or resources, please contact Caron Yarns directly via their website. Thanks! - Julia from FaveCrafts

Where am I placing the stitch markers? At the strap spaces?

I have a lot of trouble. I am 44" in bust size, so I'm making the large size. With 106 Chain the front piece will be 33"... It is waaaay to big. I'm using needle 5.0 and yarn in same size as used above. What is wrong??

Hi Ann, For specific pattern-related questions we suggest contacting the designer via their company profile. We also suggest posting your question on our Facebook wall - perhaps others have fun into this problem as well. Thanks!

Hello, I'm having trouble understanding the first row for the lower edging. What is it meant by "sc in next ch-space of base chain?" HELP

This means you're going to single crochet into the next chain space of the original chain you started with. So you're going to attach yarn to the project and work a single crochet into the next chain space. If you're still having trouble, you can try contacting Caron Yarns for further instructions or maybe even a video of the project. Hope that helps!

I've made this numerous times. I don't like the ribbon idea so I just sew the sides down to the lower edging.

Hi, I am hoping you get this question fairly quickly. I was going along smoothly and nicely until I hit row three of the lower edging. I have searched EVERYWHERE trying to understand WHAT IS MEANT BY: work [dc, picot] Are they just saying to build the picot into the existing dc stitch OR are they saying to put a dc AND a picot in the same double crochet?? Please help.

I would like to have the graphics of this camisole...do you have them? is it possible to obtain them?..I will appreciate it...thanks

I made this top as a gift for my sister in hot pink and it turned out really cute. I used my own homemade ties on the side though instead of the ribbon. The ribbon was too stiff feeling to me. My sister loved it.

did you made it?...do you have the graphics to guide me? if you have them can you send them to my mail albamalfonzo@hotmail.con?..really I will appreciate it...

i'm having trouble with row 2? it says ch 8 (counts as dc, ch 4) but i dont understand this? do I chain 8 instead of chain 4? why do we chain 8 and not 4?

You are chaining 8 because it's forming the beginning of the next row!

My underarm seam area does not look like yours. It comes straight across though the instructions say to start the seam 2" down. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

is it possible to get a clarification on the number of rows/or inches for this item? Should the pattern be stretched our or relaxed, when determing the 9". i would appreciate any help you could supply.
