Kim. I want to wish you, your daughter, and sweet baby Ryan all the best. I hope that all of you thrive as spring turns to summer and that all the anxiety and worry will soon be a thing of the past.

The size small is the size being worn by the model who is quite a lot bigger than a child. Once the stitches are dropped, it increases the circumference. I’m not sure what fiber you used. Perhaps your fiber isn’t allowing any stretch. You may be able to remove the seam and continue adding rows until it reaches the circumference that you need. For something like this, I don’t think it’s about gauge. It seems like, even if you knit very tightly, you knit to a specific length and it should work for you. But, it’s possible that, if you knit tightly and too far from gauge, the drop stitches may not have opened up for you the way they should.

Thank you so much for the pic, I was scratching my head a bit about the long straps ! I have a bat sign so I’m happy I’m on track now.

Comment on Online Class: Graph Crochet by Brenda Jones

Hi Kim I am trying to do a single crochet graph and I am having problems with doing just one single crochet color change. I know how to do the color change but when I do it like I have done all the rest this one single crochet looks sooo ugly it looks like a sideways V instead of a single crochet stitch. Is there a way to make this look better??

I just finished my cowl. What fun! I now know how to do cables, pick up stitches and learned that dropped stitches can be a good thing! I am disappointed in the fit. I made it according to my chest measurement. When I tried it on I found the top and bottom edges had zero stretch. There is no way I can wear it as a wrap around my shoulders. It would have been helpful if the pattern stated that a small is for a child not an adult. I’m not sure that an extra 8″ for a large would give me freedom of movement when wearing it.
Any suggestions?
