Hi Shelly what a beautiful little baby sweater it's lovely, thank you for sharing your pattern :)
ReplyDeleteHello Shell! What a beautiful job you've done! Thank you so much for being kind enough to share your pattern here. One question, if it isn't troublesome, would you happen to be able to tell me how you'd go about up-sizing this to make a different size (for a 4-year old, particularly?) I've looked all over and can't seem to find any info on how you'd do that. I think I could figure it out if I had something to start on. Probably could even get it together if I knew about how to do the yoke to properly fit a four year old girl. Any ideas? Or since you are intelligent enough that you've been able to create and design your very own patterns, would you be able to share any ideas on how one might go about a bigger yoke in general? Maybe start off with so many chains and increase until a certain number is reached? Gosh, this is driving me nuts! Lol. I've really been wanting to make your little sweater for my 4-year old niece! :) Thanks so much for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI really like this pattern but am having trouble with the sleeves. I've taken them out twice. Starting at 14, it left a big gap and I can't figure out how to connect it so that it's right. I hope I'm just not reading it wrong.
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry but I’ve tried this pattern three times and I feel you have made a mistake in your directions. Love the product but it’s not workable. I have been crocheting for many years.
