Made to measure design allows you to follow one presented size (M with very oversized fit) or customize sizing by your own measurements.

MATERIALS:

• CROCHET HOOK 7 mm / UK 2 or 6,5 mm / US K-10 1/2
• YARN
• SCISSORS
• TAPE MEASURE
• STITCH MARKERS
• TAPESTRY NEEDLE (for weaving in ends)

 

YARN RECOMMENDATIONS:

For non mesh rows I recommend using two colors of Fine (no. 2) or Light (no. 3) weigh yarn (two strands held together). You can also use Medium (no. 4) or Bulky (no. 5) weight yarn corresponding with 7 mm crochet hook.

For long mesh stitch I recommend using Lace (no. 0) or Super Fine (no. 1) weigh yarn. Best result you’ll get with mohair, or mohair like yarn.

(e.g. For green sweater I’ve used Alize Angora Real 40 in shades 507 Antique Green and 563 Dark Green. For long mesh rows I’ve used hobbii’s Diablo in shade 21 Jade.)
