What is the stitch on the gauge?
It’s sc 🥰
Hi, can you kindly explain the Body part Round 18? Thanks alot.
Hey there! It just means to continue single crocheting for that many inches.
Is there a way to make this without the turtleneck part? Like start it right at the yoke? This is the only pattern using single crochet that I’ve been able to find, and I really like how the body of this looks. (size 2/3 xl)
Yes, you could start at the first round of the yoke to omit the turtle neck. Happy crocheting!
Hi, I’m really enjoying working on this project but I’m a little bit confused about separating the arms! At the end of the yoke, I didn’t cut the yarn and went straight into the chain 10 (for the small size) but for the second round, I was unsure whether I should single crochet in the chains as well? The total number of stitches seemed to suggest that I should only continue with the 180 stitches that are there from the yoke, but then round 1 of working the body reduces by 8 stitches, but I can only see a decrease of 4 (the sc2tog after the beginning and before the end of each of the two panels that are still there from the yoke).
I love how this is turning out and would really appreciate a little bit of advice on how to make this work!
Hey there! Yes, you’ll be sc in the chains as well. When you go on to the decreases, you’ll still have 4 stitch markers, it’s just that 2 of them will be moving onto the chain 10s, does that make sense? So you’ll still be doing the proper amount of decreases.
Thanks so much for the response, that does make a lot more sense now! One more thing, I can’t quite picture how to decrease on the 10-stitch sections – if I sc 6 and then sc2tog, then I think I’m only 2 away from the next st marker but I still need to sc2tog and sc 6 before the next marker? Sorry for having so many questions, I’m just super super excited for the finished jumper!
