  2. I think there's a mistake in the pattern. In round 1 of the skirt in order to get 8 clusters across the front of the dress in the 22 stitches after the first arm hole I think it should be (3tr, 1ch, 3tr in next dc, miss 2dc) rather than (miss 2dc, 3tr 1ch 3tr in next dc). This mirrors rheboattern after the second arm hole and means you're making clusters in the 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 DC which is 8 clusters. If you start with miss 2 then you're making stitches in 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 which is only 7 clusters. Just thought I should highlight as I've unpicked the first row if clusters a couple of times now. Of course I could be misreading the pattern! Beautiful dress. I'm enjoying making it .

    1. Thanks for your comment pointing this out. You are right, it looks like I added an extra miss 2dc in that round, easily done with crochet patterns lol. If you find any more mistakes please let me know.

  5. Hello from U.S.A, I am a bit confused about interpreting how to start Yoke, row 1. Directions are: “3ch, tr5, 2tr in each of next 2 dc”. Am I to make 3 ch, then tr5 in each of ch3? I see this pattern sequence repeated, so I need to know how to move forward. Also, I am aware of the difference in UK and USA references to tr dc)and dc (sc). Your clarification is much appreciated and I look forward to your reply. Thanks, Anne

    1. Hi. The 3 ch is the starting st for each row, then make 1tr (US dc) in each of next 5 dc (US sc). Continue with row. Hope this helps

  6. I love this pattern and find it fairly easy to follow however , on the first round of clusters I am getting 71/2 in front or are you counting the last 3 tr in the dc as a whole cluster instead of the clusters being counted as 3tr ch1 3tr ? Under the arms as well… it says 2 under the arms but I count 1 Just a little confused.
    Thank you
