Women’s Size Small

Sizes Medium, Large and Extra Large instructions are shown in parenthesis ( ).

Yarn used, hook and tension used will greatly affect sizing.

For larger sizes use a multiple of 3 plus one for the foundation chain. Foundation chain should be an even number.

Dimensions:

For size small shown – 27 inches from shoulder to bottom. 20 inches wide at waist.

Materials:

Yarn from Hobby Lobby / Yarn Bee / Soft Secret (6 ounce skeins)

Equivalent yarn if you don’t like Hobby Lobby:

White 5.5 ounces

Soft Pink 4.5 ounces

Flamingo 4 ounces

Hot Grape 15 ounces

Crochet Hook size I / 5.5 mm

Yarn needle

NOTE: Photos appear above corresponding rows

NOTE 2: To ensure a clean seam as you work the color changes on each row, when completing the sc for the color changes, tug firmly on the two strands of yarn (ea color) to “hide” the 1^st color. Do this for each row.

NOTE 3: Do not cut off yarn during color changes. First color change to light pink occurs while working the “right side” of panel; keep tail of previous color to the “wrong side” of panel. When working the “wrong side” of panel, keep tails to “wrong side” of panel. This keeps all tails on the wrong side.
