I have a question about the size…She said that is shown on a small but it will fit up to a large tighter obviously… She said to increase by about 10 for a large. How many would you increase the chain by for and X-large? She doesn’t want it to be tight.
Brandy ‘Shrader’ Pierce these are cool
Love it! Looks easy too!
That’s what I was thinking. I may try it.
I want to make this, it is so cute
I would try adding a small collar to it. It may help
Currently making this
I have already ripped it out and have a cardigan already half finished with yarn.
I took a older afghan and did this with mine it is in a v form to fit around the neck better.

Angela Cordio DeLisle Something to consider making?
Thinking that I want to try this one with a couple of modifications.
I gave up. To many pages of b.s. to get thru to get to the pattern just crochet a big square and connect the corners voila a sweater.
If you made this for someone what would you charge them? I know they say 3 times the yarn. The yarn was on sale for 5.00. It is kind of time consuming and 15.00 doesn’t seem like much or am I wrong?
LOVE!!!
NO!
U r not wrong!
missing claire when i see this stuff
Don’t count the sale price in your pricing. It won’t always be on sale. If 3x the yarn cost is that low, I usually add $50 or so to the cost depending on the size

Karen Miller. Thought of you when I saw this
You know me. I like that but I like all your home made things
Shianna Edwards… think gma would wear this without the fringe on it ?
Lovely x

I’m 71 and thinking if I make it for myself I would leave the fringe off.

Marie Pool. Pretty!
That is so cute!!!
Margrette Hapuku so me !!!
Is there a knit version for this? I love this.
Marlene, except for the age part, I agree. Also, I think for those of us who have a ‘little extra fluff’, maybe a solid color; at least for me, anyway.

I agree I’m also thinking of making it without the fringe. All about Ami also has a cute shrug it’s without fringe she based it on a Lions brand pattern. Some things look good with fringe but I don’t really care for it hear
