I need to post pics! I finished one last night with the Wal-Mart brand yarn. The top is the mixed colors and the bottom is pink. I'm making a turquoise one right now. Once I get a new sd card I'll post pics

 

Thank you for the pattern... It has been really fun. I especially love that dd doesn't need an undershirt with this top as many crochet items do.

[crochetbycharlene]

Thanks everyone,. I just did another for a friend. My niece wants a red one. I put on on ebay and no luck yet..

HELP!!! What does that mean " You can either join rounds or not" I am such a dolt........... If I am understanding correctly, then after the length was attained ..... you would need to sew up the edges. Am I correct?

 

I am currently making a poncho.... that had the very same thing written in the directions....... but when I read thru the rest of the instructions, there was no mention of sewing up the edges.........So I modified the pattern and I am working it in a 'round'. So am I really messing up this project???

 

BTW, LOVE the tanks.... my dd is 6.5 and I am hoping to make one or two for her.

When you join rounds, you do that by slip stitching into the beginning of the round you've been working on, chain however many the pattern says, and start a new round A visible "seam" line will show where you've joined the stitches together.

 

To avoid the seam, you can omit the slip stich and chain one. Just continue going round and round. Your work should look like a spiral when you do this. Since this makes one continous piece, you will not need to sew anything. Because it's hard to see where you've stopped and started by this method, most people find using a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round works well.

 

Hope that makes sense.

[Dangerouscrochet]

Ahhhhhhhhh. That makes perfect sense. So I was doing it that way, and didn't even know it was ok. Thank you.

for a 7/8 I would try a J hook. I crochet loose, but that is me.

Everyone says cotton. I did a size 4/5 and used an I hok. I sent it to my niece. Not sure if it fits yet.

[kim112398]

Thank you I couldn't get the straps right so I just made a chain of 210 to equal 105 on each side and put it through the middle and tied it

Very cute, great job.

I posted this in the Babies and Children show and tell but I'll post it in here as well. This is my god daughter in her Summer Breeze Halter:

 

I joined and worked in the round and I HDC'd all throughout instead of sc'ing the top part and as you can see I made the straps wide. Lucy is so short and tiny, I only had to do 23 rows before doing the bottom part which I only did five rows of that. It was fast and easy to do I am making a skirt to match it.
