Notes

I can’t get gauge, go figure. This is one of the reasons why I don’t crochet, but a good friend asked and I said yes. I’ve even doubled the yarn and gone up to a 6.5mm and still can’t get gauge. At this point I’m going to crochet at my gauge and adjust the number of stitches and rows needed.

Ugh, this whole thing is kinda a mess. My gauge is 19 sts x 24 rows = 4”. Big difference from the pattern. I tried crocheting in a different style, slightly looser gauge and nothing. I’m better off rewriting the whole pattern to my gauge than continuing to false start.

I’ve finished the one main front piece and everything seems to check out length and width wise so my math skills haven’t diminished.

Finished. I don’t want to crochet for awhile. There’s nothing wrong with the pattern, except for some typos and grammatical errors, it’s my love/hate relationship with crocheting and putting together toy (like) things. I hope my friend likes them and they hold up in the wash.

The yarn itself is lovely for the price point and fiber content. It feels more like the soft acrylics and hopefully it’s more breathable than 100% acrylics. I would definitely use it again.
