Hello Jane,
This is a beautiful pattern and want to make it for my daughter. I have never felt a yarn that has hemp in it. Is it scratchy? She has very sensitive skin. What are the care instructions for this yarn. I could not find them on the website link. Please let me know. TIA =)
Marion Niewald would like you to read..Simple crochet triangle scarf pattern
Hi Marion you can use any 4 medium weight yarn that soft and gentle for your daughter skin for example lionbrand or darn good yarn or even paint box yarn with cotton content
Thanks so much! I have used Lionbrand before, so will check into that. I really appreciate your taking the time to answer. Thanks 😀
Hi Jane
I ended up using a 10 mm crochet hook to get the gauge correct. Seems so far from what you used. Do you think I’ll have a problem?
I’m crocheting along, looks like this will be a great project. Thanks for sharing it!
Hi donna , It will be fine as long as it fit you perfectly. Because each person will have crochet stitch tension tight or loose. If i make this summer cardigan second time it would be a little bit different for my foundation chain i tent to crochet loose.
