The pattern is written as follows 12m 18m, 24m, 2T, 3T, 4T, 6, 8, 10 All the stitch counts, and rounds will be in the corresponding colors to make the pattern easy to follow. If you print out your pattern, I recommend highlighting your size throughout the pattern. This will make it easy to follow.
This pattern is worked in both loops.
The main bodice is constructed in the moss stitch so it gives a woven type look.
Once the pattern starts working in the round, still remember to turn your work. By joining the row together THEN turning, you will hide your seam much better.
REMEMBER: You must obtain gauge FIRST to find the right hook to use for you. Not everyone uses the same tension when crocheting so although I suggest a 4.0mm, you might need to go up or down a size.
