Notes

Started this in order to make a tutorial for the join.

SOOOOOO

I done fucked up.

I measured gauge as I was starting out (because this yarn was not the recommended gauge) and thought I would be creating a garment with negative ease. Turns out I half assed measured it and ended up with a completed garment that was 4ā€ positive ease for y 46ā€ bust. Sigh.

I was going to frog or scrap it but decided instead to try to salvage it. I added elastic to the back panel from the angled cups on each end and it created a babydoll like back which works nicely.

Is it perfect? Nope. Will it work? Yes!

I also added about 8 additional rows in length to the suggested length to create a crop top instead of a bralette.

I’m happy with it all in all :)
