So figure out how many inches 4 stitches in with your tension and yarn. Then you should be able to figure out how many stitches will be needed to fit you. It is made like a typical bolero where you basically make a rectangle then fold it over and attach the sides. So you are starting from the top or bottom since they are identical, if that makes sense.Frugal Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813444680377570577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177181583988584303.post-34885501997000857102017-01-10T15:00:52.157-08:002017-01-10T15:00:52.157-08:00I am looking at this pattern and am confused about...I am looking at this pattern and am confused about changing the size.

You have a repeat of rows 2-4 but repeating them doesnt provide an opening. Where does the sleeve stop and open? Directions are a bit confusing and no where do you indicate where/how to join remaining sleeve. Is the back a seperate piece? Working in the rounds from the sleeve doesnt seem to provide the same pattern of the back as shown in the picture.

Make sure you read the measurement instructions, the sleeve is included in the rectangle. You fold the rectangle in half, longways. Place the edge together and sew then in X amount (depending on your size) of inches. It is sewed up like most boleros that are rectangle based.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429856081671030604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177181583988584303.post-35318989310090319492014-06-14T19:25:31.140-07:002014-06-14T19:25:31.140-07:00I too am having problems like Mecca is having, cou...I too am having problems like Mecca is having, could we please get an answer so I don't have to frog it again Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10777099246425929355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177181583988584303.post-41365374962912114722014-05-14T17:37:45.278-07:002014-05-14T17:37:45.278-07:00hello!!!hello!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177181583988584303.post-88661689941703906032014-05-14T17:25:41.104-07:002014-05-14T17:25:41.104-07:00what size does this make is it a women or a a kids...what size does this make is it a women or a a kidsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177181583988584303.post-65431302642238344072014-03-22T08:48:25.527-07:002014-03-22T08:48:25.527-07:00Thanks for the free pattern.

Also, maybe a little more wording about the first part. If you go directly to the pattern without reading above it, it makes no sense. I came to it from pinterest and didn't read above the pattern, so after getting it the length I wanted, from my neck down, it didn't make any sense. Just letting you know for future patterns you write. :) Now that I understand it, I'm excited to get finished.
