I tried doing it as per instruction but just couldn’t get it done right. I then did it flat and made it two stitches bigger and it came out great. Thanks I love finding new patterns.
Thanks for the suggestion. Just got the pattern.
I’m having a bit of trouble at the last part. Rnds 21-25 say to hdc but rnds 26-28 say to sc in ea sc arnd. What sc’s are these?
I think I figured out to sc into ea dc for the last rows, but how do I stitch that side together? Is it better to sew by hand or sc the edge tog?
Candace, I’m having some trouble with your pattern for the Barbie shrug. Do I sc in the dc of the last rows, and what is suggested to sew the sleeve together? You didn’t put that in the pattern. The first sleeve goes together in a round, but the second one is in rows. Can you be kind enough to complete the pattern, please. It’s very cute, but I want to make sure I’m doing it correctly. Thanks
Hi, Linda.
The pattern is seamless and complete as written. The sl st at the end of rounds 19-28 eliminate the need to sew.
Thank you, Candace. I must have missed that. So rows 26-28 though should be to sc into each dc around?
I fixed that to say sc into each st, so you’ll be sc into whatever st the previous row had.
