This pattern is available for free from Yarnspirations website here.

Because I’m using a different yarn, my swatches came out a little off from the given gauge. Switching between hooks didn’t work for me. So now, I’m just using the layout schematic that was given to guide me getting an approximate size to fit.

I made some changes to the pattern:

• For the armhole trim, instead of sc-picot-sc at the tr, I did 2 sc-picot-2 sc to fill up the tr better.
• For the body, at the turn, instead of ch 3 (error, it should be ch 4 counting as a tr) for the turning ch, I did a chainless tr crochet stitch. You can find the tutorial for the chainless dc here on YouTube. Use the same technique to make a chainless tr crochet stitch. See the result on the Side View, 4th image from the top.

There are a few errors on this pattern. However, the pattern was published a few years back. So, I don’t believe an errata sheet is available. I am making a list of these errors here and as well as in the comment section of the pattern.

Errata:

• For the 4-dc cluster, ends with: draw yarn through 5, not 4, spaces on hook.

• Every time it instructed to ch 3 for a tr, do a ch 4. This is the reason: 1 ch=sc, 2 ch=hdc, 3 ch=dc, 4 ch=tr.

• For the Back, the * to repeat is in the wrong place on rows 1 and 5. The repeat should be at: ch 2, small shell in next ch-5 space, ch 2, sc in next ch-5 space.

• For Bottom Trim, where it’s stated: sc in each of next 2 ch, it should be st (where the 2 tr are).

• For the Back Left Shoulder of Sizes L, XL, 2XL, to match with the Right Shoulder, Row 16 should be: With wrong side facing, skip next 6 (8, 10) ch-5 spaces to the left of last st made in Row 1 of Right Shoulder, join yarn in next ch-5 space, ch 4, sc in next ch-1 space, (ch 5, sc) in each of next 2 ch-5 spaces, ch 5, sc in each of last 2 sc; turn.

• For the Front Left Shoulder (in all sizes), Row 5 starts at the right side, not wrong side.

• For the Front Right Shoulder, in sizes S/M, Row 13 should be: Ch 1, skip 1 sc, sc in the next sc, 3 sc in ch-5 space, sc in next sc twice, sc in last sc. Fasten off. (Total of 10 sc).

• For the Front Right Shoulder, in sizes L, XL, 2XL, on Row 8, omit the last “ch 5, sc in next ch-5 space”. It should have a total of four 5-ch loops and not five loops.
