That's great. I'm glad crochet magazines are starting to publish more diagrams. I don't know why it's thought that crocheters won't use diagrams, but knitters will. I read somewhere that this is the reason that magazines that publish both crafts would rather not publish as many crochet patterns--because crochet patterns cost more to print because they "have" to be written out, stitch for stitch, as opposed to being diagrammed. I don't know how true this is though.
I have heard via the Ravelry grapevine that there were a few more pattern sizes for the Crossover Top that did not get published. Being a big-busted girl, I'd love to know how to go about enlarging this pattern another 10 inches in the bust. Thank you!! And beautiful pattern by the way!
Hi Rebecca- You are absolutely right. I gave some tips on making the top larger or for half sizes and such on this post: http://crochetbyfaye.blogspot.com/2007/06/new-crochet-today.html
