This is the most gorgeous duster ever! Mine has turned out absolutley beautiful.....will make more! In fact all your designs are utterly gorgeous, my style completely. You are so very talented...finally found crochet designs that reflect me...a big thank you from the Scottish Highlands 💞

[@MoraleFiber]

Oh thank you so much for the amazing feedback!! You have made my day :)

[@kimberlysnow8440]

How do u make the bottom longer

[@Inspiredhomemaker]

This is amazing! I just finished the duster using lion brand ice cream yarn cookies and cream. It's beautiful! I'm not sure if I'm going to put sleeves or not. Thank you for filming all this!

Followed these vids and nearly managed to make my moms all white coat in a week. Still needs about another 8ish hours to finish all the way but its been a really fun project I cant wait to restart (im making my own also) Though I dont advise trying for my timeframe, my arm is soooo sore😅

[@gbelle2605]

Love your patterns and thankyou for sharing your talent with us! Just bought two patterns on ravelry and cannot wait to start, Thankyou Regina very much

I’m making the small for a friend, and even with it being a small I think my tension was too tight, because it looks too small. My friend is short and petite, so it should work well for her, but I’ll definitely know to loosen my tension for next time! I checked my gauge in the beginning and everything, but I suppose I started stitching tighter throughout the pattern. Lovely design, and I can’t wait to make one for myself!

I am on Row 36 and I was just looking at it thinking... ummm... I don't think this is quite right... was getting ready to "fix" it in a guestimated kinda way and thought, Hmmm... well, let me check to see if she's posted number 5 yet by chance

[@MoraleFiber]

Oh yay! Right on time then - hope it was helpful!

[@layler6678]

Aaaahhhhhh!!! I Am SOOOO THANKFUL FOR YOU AND THIS VIDEO!! Been anticipating VERY EAGERLY :)

Hello Morale Fibre please help, I'm struggling to understand what's happening with the ties,1st what are they for, secondly where exactly do I insert them.Please help thanks.

[@MoraleFiber]

Hi there! The ties are for closing the garment in the front. Since this video tutorial is a supplement to the written pattern, I highly recommend visiting the link in the description of the video to find the free written pattern on my blog, which goes over the ties in more detail :) Thank you!

I am making this and loving the pattern. I am about to start round 27 and thought I would try it on. It is very tight on the arm holes and across the neck. I am making a large. Should I pull back a few rows and add extra stitches? I don’t want to waste the work I have done but also don’t want to carry on then not be able to wear it!

[@MoraleFiber]

Hi Morgen! you can find a review of how to adjust the size of the armholes in the FAQ post for this project, which should be linked in the description below the video :)

[@susannejohnson4896]

Love this pattern 💙

[@MoraleFiber]

Hi Susanne! It varies - I usually do multiple ties on each side. Lately I've favored doing three ties on each side (6 total) but it's according to preference really :)

[@mindy1angel]

Row 35 is very confusing to me. Im making a beautiful one for my daughter. Having trouble finding the lower part of the duster. I have top middle. I changed colors so not stopped in the same space as you in the video. Help im stuck... and its beautiful so far 😊

[@MoraleFiber]

Hi there! I am glad you've gotten so far in the pattern! Please contact me with your question via the e-mail in my bio with the specifics of where you are getting stuck and I'll be happy to help!

[@betht2187]

Is there a way to keep the part behind & around the neck from being so thick when you add extra rounds to size up? Thank you so much! I made the Midnight Star one & I'm trying this one AGAIN... LOL

[@MoraleFiber]

There is, but it involves moving the armholes in to a different round and also modifying the length of it - its challenging! Circular pieces can be tricky that way :)

[@letmyselfbeme]

Helloo! I love this pattern but I've came along a question. Do I have to do Extra row 35.1/ 35.2 or can I skip these? ly Isabell

[@MoraleFiber]

Hi and thank you! You don't have to do those rows - it depends on the size you are making, the extra rows there are usually for Larges as an option but smalls don't typically need to make :)

[@kariowens4380]

🥰🥰🥰🥰 my favorite pattern in the world 💞

[@MoraleFiber]

Awwww

[@komischesirgendwas1765]

How much yarn do you need? Do you crochet with a bigger hook than needed, because I need to know what needle size fits for your yarn😅 This design is so beautiful btw, love it!❤

[@MoraleFiber]

Hi there! Please follow the link on the video description for this pattern to find all the required materials listed. Thank you!

[@ChristineEmmick]

Beautiful!!

Thank you! 😊

[@wedontknow5870]

I need help again. I’m on number 35 I’ve gone threw 1 row. However it’s not big enough around how do I fix that?

[@MoraleFiber]

Hi Mikayla, how do you mean it's not big enough around? If you would please contact me via e-mail (in my info page) I will be happy to help you!

[@kathyraudabaugh]

I have no idea what the ties are about or where they go or how many there are. Details were sketchy and I didn't show the ties when done.

[@MoraleFiber]

Hi Kathy! This video is a supplement to the written pattern, which can be found for free on my blog by following the link below the video. On the blog there is more detailed photos and descriptions of the ties and their placements :)

I'm having a real hard time with 4th video. It seems that what you are saying and doing aren't matching, and the sub titles cover the written! I'm loosing my mind after all this time! Please help

[@MoraleFiber]

Hi there! I am happy to help with whatever part you are stuck at - please e-mail me directly with the round you are on and I can assist from there :) [e-mail] Thanks!

[@spearbun]

Does this include the hood?

[@MoraleFiber]

No, sorry :) The video tutorial doesn't cover the hood option

[@tawnydavison6150]

This part.. your instructions suck. And it pisses me off to get this far and you drop the ball 😢. Your not worth watching.
