I really enjoy working from charts rather than text, and so that is how I designed this pattern. The pattern will fit 34-38” bust. We hope.

Making Up
Whilst I’m usually too lazy to block pieces before making up, it is worth doing so for this design. When all pieces are sewn together make a front border: with right side facing pick up all sts./rows down one half of the neck and front, work 10 rows in garter st. Cast of with a crochet hook, working 3 d.c. into st. where neck shaping begun on the front. Do the same for the other side. Sew on poppers (which I used) or hooks, as desired.
