girls lace pinafore

[pandas4me]

I am trying to crochet the girls lace pinafore. Making the large size and have reached a problem.
here's the link for the pattern: http://www.bernat.com/data/pattern/pdf/ ... id-Month+2

I have gotten to where I should (and do) have 70 shells. Now when I go to do the next part: Next rnd: Sl st in next: (Ch-1 sp, Dc, Ch-1 sp). Beg shell. (Shell in center
ch-1 sp of next shell) 3-(5-6-8) times. *Ch 5 (5-7-9). Miss next 7 (12-14-
18) shells.* (Shell in center ch-1 sp of next shell) 7 (12-13-17) times. Rep
from * to * once more. (Shell in center ch-1 sp of next shell) 3 (6-6-8)
times. Join with sl st to 3rd ch of beg ch 4.

it doesn't work out right for some reason. ANYONE can you help me get this figured out? I think this is the part where the armholes are made if that helps.
Thanks!!

I am still learning crochet myself. I hope that some of you experienced crocheters can help with this!

I am currently making this dress (times 2) for my daughters. I'm wondering what exactly isn't working out for you? I'm sure I can help, I just don't quite understand what the problem is.

I love this pinafore, I am planning on making them for my 3 granddaughers, but have not had time yet. We currently have no corrections or changes for this pattern, I have added some additional information below in the row in question, hope this helps.
This is the decrease area for the underarms:
Next rnd: Sl st in next: (Ch-1 sp, Dc, Ch-1 sp). ----- the slip st in the ch-1 sp, dc, and ch-sp that you just worked are the decreases sts. ----- Beg shell. (Shell in center ch-1 sp of next shell) 3-(5-6-8) times. ------ after you have worked the beg shell you will work a shell in the center ch-1 sp of the next shell, for the largest size you will do this 8 times. ----- *Ch 5 (5-7-9). Miss next 7 (12-14-18) shells.* ----- miss the next set of shells ---- (Shell in center ch-1 sp of next shell) 7 (12-13-17) times. Rep from * to * once more. (Shell in center ch-1 sp of next shell) 3 (6-6-8) times. Join with sl st to 3rd ch of beg ch 4.

I am confused with the second row of the shells in the pinafore where do I crochet the second row of shells and is there a close up picture of the pinafore from different angles,It is made with the mosaic yarn. I can not find the pattern on the web site now. Hope the photo I took comes through.

Be sure to read the comments above yours in this discussion. Someone else is working on the same project.

OK, hopefully I’m seeing your picture correctly, and you are crocheting the second row of shells between the first row of shells? Each shell in the next rows should be crocheted in the centre space of each shell in the preceding row. So, each shell is kind of split in half when you crochet the next row. Also there’s a series of shells that need to be skipped (or missed) and you should just chain past them in order to leave an arm hole. I’ll post a couple of close up pics; one of the shells on top of shells, the other of what the arm holes look like. I hope I’ve helped a bit.


ETA: I deleted the second photo because it didn’t help, and I resized the first photo

Hmm, that second picture doesn’t help at all, but I hope the first one does. Good luck!

Thank you think I got it, still very new to crocheting and thank you for resizing the photos and info on the programs.
