PATTERN AND SIZING NOTES
• At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
• This halter top is made using a 1wt yarn and a 3.5mm hook but adjust, if desired, to achieve the gauge since not all yarns are created equal and cottons and synthetics behave differently while being worked.
• The Turning Chains count as a stitch for all rows except rows 1 & 2 for all sizes.
• The chains in the eyelets count as a stitch.
• There are no decreases in this project and since the turning chains count as a stitch, you will need to work in to them or with them in the count.
• All the increases are made placing one additional stitch at the beginning and one additional stitch at the end of the row. Therefore, in rows where there IS an increase, you work a stitch in to the 1st stitch after the turning chain and 2 stitches in to the last stitch (which is the turning chain from the row below)… and in rows where there is NOT an increase, you skip the 1st stitch from the chain and work your first stitch in the 2nd stitch from your turning chain – and in the last row only work 1 stitch in to the last stitch (which is the turning chain). Keep count of your stitches in order to make sure you’re on track.
• The eyelet sequences are in parentheses in the pattern
• The eyelets are in a set of 3 with 2 DC’s separating each and are comprised of 19 stitches, not including the stitches on either side of the set (see eyelet chart below)
• The eyelets require 3 rows to complete (the bottom row is for reference and the DC’s on the each side of the sequence are also for reference, but the entire sequence is 19 stitches wide)
• *** The “hook” on the sets of 3 stitches in the top row of the pictured chart indicates that the DC should go AROUND the chain 3 and not IN to the chain stitches.
