took me 19 episodes of inital d to complete this, very easy to get the hang of and demonstrated very well. I loved how you made it clear what stitches you were going into, but also made it so we can have a little independence in crocheting all the rows, and choosing our own length.

hello, i stumbled across your video and i just wanna say thank you for sharing this easy pattern, my aunt currently is on chemo treatment for her lung cancer, so i decided to make the balaclava for her and she seems to like it! she usually wears beanie but she doesn't like on how her neck is exposed, hence why i made balaclava for her. again, thank you for kindly share this for free, i hope you have a great day, bless you❤

@CherilynQ Жыл бұрын
Hi! There’s a way to get rid of the pointy bit. With the scoodie folded flat from the side, push the pointy bit in to the wrong side, try form a curvy/rounded shape from the right side. Use stitch markers to help maintain the shape. Then from the wrong side, sew along the curve to seal it off. If you’d still like to start a new one, find one that’s worked in rounds. If it’s worked in the same way as mine, it will be pointy at the top.

@CherilynQ10 ай бұрын
Thank you so much 💕 This design intentionally features a pointed end at the back. However, if you wish to soften the point, it can be done quite easily. Start by folding the point to the wrong side, creating a gentle curve on the right side when the hood lays flat with the left or right side up. Secure the shape by using pins or stitch markers. From the wrong side, seal off the pointed corner to prevent it from reverting to the right side. This will give your hood a more rounded shape. Hope this helps 🥰

I was wondering whether it’s a problem if it doesn’t come out completely come out as a rectangle, as my over time (after like 3 rows) started to almost bend, im guessing that’s due to the tension so not sure if i have to start over or if it will be okay once i kind of fold it over??? looks great on you!!

I’m not sure what’s going on with mine. My yarn recommends a size 5mm hook and I’m using a 6mm for that loose look and I worked up 18 rows and It’s not looking very big. I’m kinda just crocheting till it fits my head but it looks about half the size of yours when it should be looking bigger… Also my rib isn’t laying flat. Should I keep adding rows or just block it out and hope for the best. I’m honestly so confused
@aloegarden8 ай бұрын
the same thing is happening to me rn! i’ve done 18 rows but i can tell it isn’t going to fit on my head. i think my tension is way too high so the rows have sort of clumped together. how many rows did you end up doing??
@Lili613b8 ай бұрын
@@aloegarden OHHH OKAY so i did about 22 i think then put some safety pins in and stretched and pulled and it was actually TOO big at that point. I guessed that my yarn was too soft and wasn't holding its shape enough (since the yarn they used looked more structured). I took two rows out and left it with 20, since we'd add some more chains around the face later. It ended up fitting but definitely isn't baggy. I'll probably give it a wash and see how it looks later.

@CherilynQ10 ай бұрын
The vertical measurement (st number) is relatively forgiving compare to the circumference (row count) because of the string. So I think it's safe to simply take away a few inches from the stitch count. However, for the row count, I suggest looking up the child's head circumference based on his/her age, minus the face width; this should be your target row count. Hope this helps!
