Pattern Modifications and Questions

I want the top to be wider but not taller / I want more back coverage
Add rows to the beginning and end sections but follow the rest of the instructions as normal, every 2 rows should add half an
inch
I want the top to be taller but not wider
Find what size you like for the width in the size chart and follow those instructions, but before you begin add a few chains to
your starting number, every 2 chains you add will add half an inch in height
I want thicker straps
After you chain the number for your straps, instead of doing slip stitches back down the chain, try doing single crochets or half
double crochets instead
I want my top to be longer so it covers more of my stomach
When you are doing the bottom band you can add more single crochet rows for solid coverage or you can add more rows of the
V stitch for a see through coverage. If you don’t want to do either of those you can change the stitches on the bottom band
completely.
The top fits around my chest but not around my ribs
If the bottom band is baggy then take away a few chains from the underboob opening, if the band is too tight then add a few
chains to the underboob opening. Just make sure that it is in increments of 3
I want the Sneak a Peek hole to be smaller
After row 26 we do two rows where we are decreasing at the top of the cup and the bottom of the rows stay flat. When you
move on to the next rows you can keep the bottom flat for a few more rows instead of starting the decreases that form the hole.
Every two rows will take away ½ inch from the width of the hole, you will have to mirror this on the other side as well so in
total two rows will take off one inch. Keep track of how many rows of decreases you take out because the total # of rows will
have to stay the same.
