1. Back Panel

Worked flat from the bottom up in calming sage green to create a soft, textured base.

• Row 1: 61 ch [61]
• Row 2: sk, 60 hdc [60]
• Rows 3–14: hdc in each stitch across [60]
• Row 15: sc in each stitch across [60]

1. Fasten off and leave a long tail for seaming.

2. Front Panel

The front panel is worked in dusty rose, featuring a beautiful scalloped neckline to frame the face.

• Row 1: 61 ch [61]
• Row 2: sk, 60 hdc [60]
• Rows 3–10: hdc in each stitch across [60]
• Row 11: (sc, 2 sk, shell, 2 sk) × 10 [60]

1. Fasten off and leave a long tail for seaming.

3. Straps

Create two simple, sturdy straps in warm cream to connect the front and back panels.

• Row 1: 40 ch [40]
• Row 2: sk, 39 sc [39]
• Row 3: sc in each stitch across [39]

1. Fasten off both straps, leaving long tails for sewing.

4. WithMe signature heart

The same little heart sits on every WithMe original — our way of signing it with love. Use any contrast colour from the project.

• Round 1: 3 tr, 3 dc, ch, tr, ch, 3 dc, 3 tr in a magic ring [15] — Ch 3 first (it doesn't count as a stitch). After the last stitch, ch 3 and sl st into the ring, then pull the ring tight — the dip at the top of the heart forms as you pull.

1. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing the heart in place.

Finishing

1. Lay the front and back panels flat, right sides facing up. Pin the warm cream straps to the top corners of the back panel, spacing them 10 inches apart.
2. Fold the top corners of the front panel down by 2 inches to create the shoulder seam, sandwiching the strap ends. Sew the shoulder seams securely using the dusty rose tail.
3. Fold the top in half vertically, right sides together. Sew the side seams from the bottom edge up to the armholes, leaving a 6-inch opening for the arms.
4. Weave in all loose ends neatly on the inside of the garment.
5. Sew the small signature WithMe heart neatly onto the bottom left hem of the front panel using the blush yarn.

Tips from the WithMe studio

• Use stitch markers to keep track of your rows, especially when working the hdc sections.
• Block the panels lightly before seaming to ensure the scalloped neckline lies perfectly flat.
• When sewing the shoulder seams, use a mattress stitch for an invisible and flexible join.
