  1. When you say to make a larger size, the chain needs to be a multiple of 5+2. So does that mean it needs to divide into 5 as well as 2? I am confused because in the pattern the 52 does not divide by 5. Sorry just confused about how to make this bigger.

    1. Hi Lori, your starting chain needs to be a multiple of 5, then add 2 more chains. I started with 50 (multiple of 5) then added 2 more and got 52 chains. Hope this helps 🙂

    2. Hi! I have a question. After you get done with row 6 and then start on the repeat rows 7-35. Do you chain 1 before turning? It doesn’t say to chain 1 at the end of row 6 and it doesn’t say to chain 1 at the beginning of row 3 (technically row 7), but there has always been at least one chain 1 if not 2 at the end or beginning of rows. Thank you!!

      1. Hi can I ask about Yarn? Would it be possible to use Sport Weight/Sock Yarn doubled up with 5mm Hook? Mine is polyester/polyacryl/elastane mix. Would it be tto stretchy for this project?? Thanks

  2. Breann, Simply love your patterns and instructions! Thank you soooo much for sharing your wonderful creativity with all of us! Want to try this pattern, Honeycomb Top. Would you be able to tell me what the “positive ease” is in the fit for the Small and Medium Sizes of the “Honeycomb Top” above.” Thanking you in advance for your help!

      1. Hi! Thank you so much!! Unfortunately this is one of my first designs and I only have it written in size small right now. There is some positive ease. I’ll be updating this pattern very soon with more detailed sizing 🙂
