I love this pattern. Very
I love this pattern. Very clever. How would I adapt the pattern for a L/XL? Do I have to begin with a larger chain? Where do I add stitches throughout the pattern?

Hi tnxwAdbX29kDqzxxyFXK,
If you use a slightly thicker yarn and larger size crochet hook. You may follow the pattern exactly. Happy crochet!

Thank you so much for this
Thank you so much for this pattern. It's lovely. If I want to make it shorter, like a bolero, how do I do this? Thank you!

Hi Missa_Lee,
Hi Missa_Lee,
This is a top-down crochet technique, so you may stop crocheting at any point after the bust you like. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana,
Hi Sana,
I made a short version with 4ply gradient yarn.
I found that this pattern was "in one go" crochet, so I thought that it might good for gradient yarn cake.
I skipped the edging, but it seems no problem. I am happy with the result.
Thank you for sharing this amazing pattern and tutorial.
I admire your talent!
