Hi! I love this green granny stitch tank!
I understand the basic directions you provided but wonder if you could share more details about shaping? Do you have a full pattern I could purchase?
Thank you!
I love this and would like to make one for my daughter. Do you offer more detailed instructions? Like how to decrease for each size?
Thank you in advance.
I am confused how the shoulders were finished on the crochet granny stitch tank top.
Can you please send me a detailed pattern link or more details about this.
Thank you.
Cómo se hacen los menguados de las sisas y el escote
Hello, I love this pattern so very much!
But I’m beginner, please could you tell me how to make the shoulders please? And how to create the shape on top of the shirt? Thank you in advance.
Hola!!, me encanta la camiseta, pero no sé cómo hacer las tira tas y la parte del escote. Existe alguna guía para poder seguirla? Y terminar de forma correcta la camiseta. Muchísimas gracias
