- Tip 1: Count stitches carefully in flower rows for symmetry.
- Tip 2: If your upper edge is rolling, block gently or add another hdc row for structure.
- Tip 3: Try on as you go—adjust ribbing width and strap placement to your body.
- Tip 4: Use stitch markers for easy strap location placement.
- Tip 5: For longer wear, add extra rows to top for more coverage/support.
