[@em1lka]

Yayy well done I’m sure your work looks amazing!! Thank you so much I’m really glad you enjoyed my video🤍

[@churchoffilth]

commenting incase anybody has the same problem as i did, if your project is curling it means your stitches are too tight!!!!! this applies to all corchet projects. i undid mine and redid it with looser stitching and it went perfectly! you can also use a bigger hook to help with this

[@adelineday3625]

My first attempt came out HUGE. Like comically huge. I turned it into a basket instead. I tried again with a smaller yarn and its perfect. Now i have a good idea of how big the circle should be and that i dont have to do all rows if i use a thicker yarn or hook.

[@em1lka]

Atleast you managed to repurpose the first attempt😄 nonetheless I’m glad to hear that you learnt from the initial trial at this pattern and yes! When using a larger hook and yarn the pattern will vary and it should be modified to suit the materials you are working with.

For me the eye spacing was going to be too short, the eye spacing that you made measured a little under 5" and I need mine to be 6". So instead of counting 34 on each side, I counted 32. I hope it works. Fingers crossed.

[@user-lu2ro4bg5o]

did it work

I hope it worked! The eye spacing will definitely be different for everyone that’s why I would try on my work as I crocheted to make sure that it would fit me well.:)

[@jadeng3449]

I am a bit confused how the stitch markers land at 34 away on both sides with 22 in the middle. That would equal 90 stitches. However. At the end of row 10, where we start to go without any increases there are only 80 stitches, idk if I’ve gone wrong somewhere, but any help would be appreciated

[@karinate]

Hiii, I know it's been a little while but I've noticed the same thing. The original tutorial worked for me only when I made a mistake (which I realised after) of doing 18 hdc in the second round instead of 16 (the normal double). I am now doing it the correct way and I'm stuck on whether to do an extra row or continue down and figure something out when I get to the eyes. What did you do? :))

Exacto, también para hacer la parte de la boca, dice que 35 y en medio deja 12 puntos y vuelve a contar 35. Lo termine haciendo a mi modo, igual se agradece ver como empezar.

I see some people saying theirs turned out huge, but mine's tiny! I'm on about row 16 and it won't go over my head at all. At the end of row 10 is was 5 inches in diameter so I added a couple extra to get it to 6.5 inches which is what you mentioned yours was, but it's still tiny. Is it worth unravelling it and adding more rounds?

[@Ozgrandmother]

mine is tiny too because I 'm using a 3 ply yarn, so I'm adding a few more rows before the hole for the eyes.

[@mh8263]

Hi! Thanks for the pattern! I just finished the circle and have begun to hdc through the back loop. I'm concerned it might be too small. Approximately how big should the circle portion be before starting to work down with the hdc stitches? Should it cover the top of your head? Do you have an approximate diameter? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! I just don't want to go down 6 more rows only to realize it's too tiny. Thanks! ☺️

[@em1lka]

Hello! From Row 11 (the row where we hdc into the backloops) across the top for me is 6.5 inches. I too thought it looked quite small in the beginning but once I finished it, it fit perfectly!💓

Hello, srry for bodering but i did it and it is enormous, like super big, do u know what do i need to do for it to be more tightened?

[@em1lka]

Hi! I’m not sure why that has happened, maybe your stitches are abit looser? or it may have something to do with the yarn you used? I’ve read that if you’re using cotton yarn you should be able to soak it in hot water, let dry and it should be shrink a bit. Again I’m not too sure as I don’t know what your project looks like but I hope I can help

Would using a larger hook with the same size yarn in the tutorial create a more open weave like fishnet design? Thanks :)

Yes I think so! It definitely will have more of an open feel to it as the gaps will be bigger! It just depends on how much larger your hook is. However I think that should work:)

[@orianacedeno4254]

Can you explain me a litte bit the 11 row, I don't speak english so it's confusing. Don't understand the back loops part

[@shanicerussell5]

Hey I noticed your reply didn't get a response so I wanted to explain what is meant by back loop. When you make a stich and it looks like a 'V'. The loop that is furthest away from you is the back loop. You are going to place 1 HDC in the back part of the stitch (the section of the 'V' that is furthest away). Then for rows 12-20 you are going to place a HDC through the whole 'V' (through the loop in the front and the loop in the back, going through the whole 'V'). I hope that helps.

[@juanidominguez4452]

In row 6 for example, i have to do in one hole 4 hdc, in the next hole 1 hdc, in the next hole 4 hdc and in the next hole 1 hdc?

[@em1lka]

You’re going to place 1 hdc in 4 stitches (only one in the next 4 stitches) and then 2 hdc in the one stitch after our 4 hdc if that makes sense, so remember in row 5 we placed 1 hdc in 3 stitches and then 2 hdc in one stitch after for our increase? we’re repeating that process again just increasing by one the amount of times we place hdc across stitches. I really hope this helped you

If you were curious as to the size you could have asked to make sure. I did state that you should tailor this to you (9:40) and increasing or decreasing in places where you need to as everybody does not have the same size head.
