Hi, I'm Amber. I started my crochet business, Heartfully Stitched, in 2016. My passion is designing simple and straightforward crochet garment patterns, for beginners and advanced crocheters alike. It’s important to me that my patterns are not only size inclusive, but also ability inclusive. No matter your skill level, enjoying the process from start to finish then loving and wearing your final piece is what's most important to me as a Crochet Designer.

FO after last repeat. All sizes continue to Blocking instructions.
Blocking:
All sizes You may use your preferred blocking method. Blocking is optional but for the best results I highly recommend not skipping this step, especially before seaming. Do not remove the St markers. Due to the many variations of this design I do not have exact Before & After blocking measurements for all the sizes and styles.
1. Place your Back Panel with the RS facing DOWN with Row 1 at the bottom.
2. Place the Left & Right-side Panels RS facing UP and Row 1 at the bottom overlapping the Back Panel. Completely align the bottom, top and sides with the Back Panel.
3. Pin your panels in place. Using your preferred method of blocking, block your panels and allow them too fully dry. Do not remove pins after pieces are dry, these will be helpful during seaming.
4. Continue to Assembly
Assembly:
Your panels should already be aligned from blocking so seam the shoulders accordingly. If you skipped blocking, follow the blocking instructions for placement of the side panels and back panels then proceed to seaming from the outside-in.
Armholes:
Before you begin seaming the sides you need to mark your Armholes. I suggest counting up to the specified St marker, then removing the ones you won’t be needing. See chart below to determine which repeat/St marker to stop seaming at for Armholes for each size/style on each Left & Right Side. Count St markers from the bottom up, starting at the 1st marked repeated Row 2 after your Set up rows. Seam bottom up.
Finishing:
Weave in any remaining ends, FO.
