I think I'll try to make the next two smaller and leave these as is for now. Maybe I'll make my top kind of a bell shape--getting gradually larger from top to bottom. My stitch gauge is slightly off (on the small side). I tried to compensate for this by casting on a few extra stitches. I think if I do this band of petals on my hips that I will have to make four rows of petals instead of three. I hope I have enough yarn. Not sure how this one is going to turn out, but I'll keep my fingers crossed. We will see...

Hmmm...Not sure how this one's going to turn out
I started my Petal Halter. I did the first two of six petals. I joined them together and tried them on. They were way too big to be the top of my halter, but they fit nicely on my hips.

I think I'll try to make the next two smaller and leave these as is for now. Maybe I'll make my top kind of a bell shape--getting gradually larger from top to bottom.
