    Thank you so much for sharing this! I bought the kit as soon as it came out. I was so excited to start the pattern and then as I was reading through it I got really nervous. Now that I have seen the tutorial, I have no idea what I was nervous about. I think I got into my own head and told myself I couldn't do it because I hadn't done tunisian mesh before. 🤦🏼‍♀️Man I hate when I get in my own head. As soon as I am done with my new tank, I am so making this. Thanks again! 🕊️❤️💡

    Help! I keep accidentally dropping extra loops off my hook while I’m working my return pass and then I can’t figure out how to get those loops back on the hook correctly so I can continue working the return pass. Has anyone else had this problem? I’ve had to tear it all out and re-do it twice now so I’m a bit paranoid to keep going. Any advice for a novice Tunisian crocheter?

    Hi! I had a question regarding the sizing and especially how to do the ease. I plan on making this for a friend of mine, who has a bust size of 45". That made me immediately think to make the M/L version since that has a finished bust of 48". I then saw the ease thing and googled about it, since this is my first time making a garment and I had no idea what ease was, and with it being 6-12" I'm now wondering if going for the XL\2XL would be better since it felt like I was supposed to subtract the ease from the finished bust parameters in order to figure out what to go for. Honestly, I'm just confused and I don't want to end up making the wrong size. Could someone tell me what size I should go for for a 45" bust? ^^;

    The size is for the finished bust and length, not the length of the foundation chain. If you don't have a steamer, you can use the steam setting on an iron.
