Ridiculously Amazing
Well, your work is really nice! But I’m guessing you didn’t mean to have a crochet bathrobe? Out of curiosity, how long was it supposed to be?
I thought the same thing, but I would need to make the belt to finish it off and I am too dismayed with the whole droopy mess to even wear it other than as a snuggie/blankety-thingy while lounging on the couch. I think if I had followed my instinct instead of the pattern, I would have used a much smaller hook (an H instead of an N) and it might have been properly proportioned. It was supposed to fall high on the thigh at 27 – 29 inches and while measuring the pieces it seemed OK, but once I seamed it and put it on it streeeeetched much longer because of the loose stitching with the N hook and the sheer weight of allllll that yarn. Oh well, live and learn. I would make it again, because I really like the style…but maybe in bright color…someday…
Wow! An N hook? I can’t think of anything outside of rugs that calls for an N. I hate it when you learn that your gut feeling was right after all. Last week I just finished up an enormous stocking hat when I *knew* I should have narrowed it by ten stitches. Maybe somewhere there are very tall people with large heads who would appreciate our screw-ups.
