    The model is clutching the front closed, so we don’t see what the cardigan looks like when left open. Can you help…

    Well, would have like to do this pattern but there doesn’t seem able to to print out. Unfortunately my PC is not where I knit or crochet.

    The cardigan is worked side-to-side. Therefore, all sizes have the same number of chains for the front edge, but worked longer to get to the right width for the desired size.

      Hi Yvonne! We’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola

    Where is the width measurement taken from? What width matches what bust size? Please …

      Hi there! I’ve reached out to the designer for clarification. Stay tuned!

      Hi Alisson! Just heard back from the designer and I’ve added a schematic (underneath the last photo on the right hand side):
      “The measurements 46 (50, 54, 58, 62, 66)” are of the width
      of the cardigan. Since the cardigan is a waterfall the measurements are
      much larger than the bust size. The actual bust size for the cardigan is
      double the width of shoulder to shoulder which are 18 (20, 22, 24, 26,
      28)”. So the bust size will be 36 (40, 44, 48,52,56)”.”
      Hope that helps!

    I’m so frustrated right now. I’m so interested in the pattern Crocheted Waterfall Cardigan but there are no photos of it but for the one in my email. From the bosom up. It clearly states that the waterfall stitches are at the waist. Why can’t I be allowed to see the whole enchilada and not just a small bite of it???

      Hi Carolyn, I’m sorry that I didn’t see this comment until now! Hopefully you can see the photos? They are on the right hand side of the page. The site might have had a slight glitch when you looked at it the first time. Let me know if I can help in any way!

    • Hi. I hope this helps…. I enlarge the picture as much as I need to. It helps me. Sometimes you just click on the picture and another tab will open with the enlarged picture. Sometimes click on the picture and with your glide pad, glide apart with your fingers and it enlarges. Hope it helps.
