  • Seems to be a lot of detail missing for example how do you make smaller or larger? I’ve searched pattern and cannot see this. Apologies if it’s here and I missed it. Usually patterns tell you stitch number to increase or decrease by.

      Dear Anne,
      Size: S (M, L). 14” width x 45 (67, 84)” length. That means that the width does not change (“With MC, ch 55”), and the length is adjusted by repeating row 3 until desired length (“Rep Row 3 until desired length”). I hope it helps and happy crocheting :=).

    Again, just to be clear….the SS says to dc in the chain space 2 rows below working row, so would I placing my dc for R3 in the chain space of R1 and then in R4 I would be placing it in R2?

        Hi Kareis, The SS says to dc in the “dc” (not the chain space) 2 rows below. And yes, you are correct, you will plce your dc for R3 in R1, but not on the chain space, but on the dc. I hope these clarifications are helpful! Kind Regards! Cristina

    So, just to be clear, in R3, we are sc in the first or second chain from hook? “Chain one and sc in next stitch” is confusing me a bit.

        Hi Kareis, in R3 and in all the pattern you start with 1 ch (turning ch) and 1 sc over the sc that finished the previous row. These sc (and turning ch) make the edges of the piece.

    • You can also use Print Friendly. It’s a free app I have used on a Microsoft laptop and an iPad, so it works on multiple operating systems and it works beautifully. You can do some very minor editing when using it. You can also use it to create a PDF to save. I seldom print anything but if I need to I print from a saved PDF.

  • I have been crocheting for almost 40 years and your pattern makes no sense to me and you have no tutorial video

      Hi Judy! Not all of our patterns have photo tutorials or videos. Please let me know if you have a specific question regarding this pattern and I can reach out to the designer for clarification or advice. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor

    • Maybe I can help you. The pattern is well written and makea perfect sense to me. What are you having problems with understanding? Have you not crocheted elongated stitches before? I’m thinking that may be what you’re having a problem with understanding.
