My gauge was 5 rows=4” and 10 sc – 4” using the simply soft & F hook
ReplyDeleteI didn’t even bother measuring the gauge on the second attempt.
Ove tried this pattern in 3 different yarns and two of them would fit a 6 moth old child
My first attempt was using Caron Simply soft and a nF hook, just as specified in the pattern.
My Second attempt was using a baby yarn and the results were the same, HUGE. Also using an F hook
I m currently working with a cone yarn that is the smallest yarn that I know of before it becomes crochet thread again using the F hook.
So what am I doing wrong?
I see no date on your question so have no idea if you figured it out but I would say it will never come out correct because your gauge is off.
DeleteThis is a very tight gauge if you read it 20 rows for 4 inch and your was 5 rows so you would have to modify the pattern or go way down in hook and yarn size and tighten up your crochet. I am a loose crocheter so when I find these awesome tight ones I copy the pattern and not to use very tight but in order to make clothes and anything you must meet the gauge or expect different results. <3
