My finished article is too big around neck and too small around the waist. (The pictured form is a mannequin as opposed to a form so it looks well on tiny her!)

I had to frog both my fronts and redo. I found throughout that there was a lack of clarity about where stitches should go and so I ended up with jumpy increases and decreases so I would have to frog again. This is great resilient yarn for frogging!

I ended up just crocheting two fronts the same and it turned out fine.

Got as far as row 9 and had to rip back. It looked very odd

Have done 3 swatches. 4.5mm gave me the right tension I think. Now though I don’t get the shape it’s turning out at row 9 right front :(

38 rows in total to armhole shaping.

Finished RHS after much frogging. Decided to pattern to last shell rather than last 15 stitches as the pattern seems to suggest and it worked to the rest of the instructions. Still looks odd. A line at beginning if each section outlining how many shells would be VERY helpful. Also an illustration showing the crazy shape it ends up would be extremely helpful.

Started left front and by row 5 I’m already shaking my fist at the author. You can’t just work as for right side, reversing the shaping so this is what I am doing.
LHS
R5: ss, 3ch, 4tr into pair of tr, patt to end
R6: patt to last shell 1tr between 2nd and 3rd tr, 1 tr in top of 3ch in previous row.
R7: turn, 3 ch
More to come.
