FINISHING Blocking: Completely immerse garment in cool water. Gently squeeze out water. Roll in dry towel to remove excess water. Lie flat, stretching vertically slightly to simulate the natural lengthening effects of gravity and allow to dry completely. No pinning necessary. With yarn needle, seam side edges of rows of strap of Right Front and Left Front. With stitch markers, mark 4 (4 ½, 5, 5 ½, 6, 6 ½)” down from center seam. Place markers equal distance on the opposite side of seam. Centering strap seam on top of Back side edges, matching marked positions with top of Back, pin evenly. Seam strap to side edges of Back carefully, ensuring that fabric isn’t unduly stretched. Mark tie hole positions on side edges of both fronts at approximately 21 (21 ¾, 22 ½, 23 ¼, 24 ½)” from lower hem. With smaller crochet hook, join yarn with sl st at hem, ch 1, sc evenly around lower hem, side edges and neckline, except at tie hole positions, [ch 4, sk 3 sts], sl st to first sc. Fasten off. Armhole Trim Rnd 1: With smaller crochet hook, join yarn with sl st at center of bottom of armhole, ch 1, sc evenly around, sl st to first sc. Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, sl st to first sc. Fasten off. Rep for opposite armhole.
