R2 - 10 : 1 hdc in each stitch, ch1, turn

-> tip: add more rows here and less rows in the next part to make the neck hole smaller, it's written far too loose, it's off shoulder

R a is the front, R b is the back, in between should be 4 unworked stitches (count and use stitch markers to find the middle!)

R 11a - 34a : 1hdc in the next 40 (50) stitches, ch1, turn

At the end of R 34a, cut yarn and pull through

Repeat R 2 and 3 until the end of the row 54, cut yarn and pull through.

Sewing :

Fold the piece in half, leaving the neck hole on the top. Sew along the open edges down the sleeves to the bottom of the body. Use cotton or any other wool that holds up and doesn't tear, Tea Time by Hobbii tears easily.

Border Body :

Start somewhere on the bottom of the body.

R 1 : 1 hdc in 2nd stitch from hook, 1 hdc in the next 5 stitches, slst in next two stitches of the body, turn

R 2 : 1 hdc in back loops only, Ch 1, turn

R 3 : 1 hdc in back loops only, slst in next two stitches of the body, turn

Repeat R 2 and 3 until you end up one time around at the beginning, cut yarn and pull through.

Sew together the ends of the border.

Neck hole :

Start in the middle where your back will be.

This piece is just if your neck hole is too large: Mark with stitch markers where your shoulders are. This will be the base for shoulder straps. Make sure they're symmetrical.

Put 1 hdc in every stitch. Once you're at a stitch marker, make 15 Fhdc and 1 hdc in the parallel stitch marker. Again, hdc in each stitch until the next stitch marker, 15 Fhdc, and 1 hdc into the parallel stitch marker. Hdc until you're at the beginning. Slst into first hdc, cut yarn and pull through.

Insert yarn at the shoulder, 1 hdc in each stitch all around, including the shoulder strap. Slst into first hdc, cut yarn and pull through. Repeat for second shoulder

I was walking through our shopping mall rather determined and fast, and had my headphones on (pink, Razer Kraken Bluetooth Kitty ones) with my hands in my pockets. I entered a shop, still blasting Bad Omens on full and looked through the shelves for wool when some guy approached me. I thought he wanted to ask me something so I told him "Wait a sec" and put the music on silent and took the headphones off. He then told me he thought I was pretty and good looking. I said thanks but must've looked sceptical, so he said "Take it as a compliment". I was taken back and told him I had bad experiences being approached like that and he was surprised but then I pulled out my secret weapon: wedding band on my hand and told him "Dude, I'm married". He immediately took off. Hasn't happened in a long time.

It's better when I'm empty (but I still let you in)
