    1. After divide for back and front in round 12 it says miss 6 shells. After completing this round you will see how the armholes are formed.

  7. Working on this now. What does it mean when it says "divide for back and front"? Thank you in advance - I'm still fairly new to crochet :)

  8. divide for back and front is just information telling you that the next round will divide the work between the back and front.

  9. On the leggings right at the top on the 4 th row down which is the increase row it doesn’t add up right to me because no matter what I do I end up with 66 sts not 60, please can you advise me

    1. I've checked the pattern and can't see where you may be going wrong or where you are getting an extra 6sts.
      I've written the row out in full here: 1ch, dc1 (dc2, work 2dc in next st) 14 times, dc3 60sts
      hope this helps

  10. Hi, just looking at the pattern. You specify double knitting yarn at the top of the pattern, but then specify 4ply further down. I take it you mean 4ply, by looking at the tension gauge? I am new to crochet.

    1. Hi
      The pattern uses 4ply for a 10/12in doll. For a larger doll use dk and larger hook. Hope this clarifies

  11. Thanks for sharing this cute pattern. When i look at the picture it and count the rows of the top part of the dress (without shells) it looks like there are only 9 rows before shells are added. Am i wrong? It says row 9-10 in the pattern so it should be 10 rows before shells right?

    Also, how come you add that one inc in the last stitch of row 10?

    Thanks! ๐Ÿ‘

    1. Hi.
      The 10th row is hidden by the shells. The increase on the last row is to make the shell pattern more even.

  12. Hi, Thank you for this pattern I'm enjoying it a lot. Question for Row 11 I'm slightly confused.... is there a ( missing? and and what does it mean "in the same shell in the next dc?
