How to Follow my Patterns

Most of my patterns are suitable for size XS and above.
Making childrens version can be possible with some, but most is suited for adult women and girls.
Some patterns are also only available in one size.

5 important steps to remember:

• take your first measurement
• crochet until you have that measurement
• measure the crochet on your body and stretch it
• crochet more or less stitches or rows if needed
• measure on your body along the way

Measurements & Calculations

An important reminder when you follow my intuitive patterns:

The calculations given to you in the section “Your measurements” is a guide and not a must.

Your yarn type, hook, tension and body shape will affect the outcome.

Always put the crochet up to your body

Therefore, after measuring your first row/round ALWAYS put it around/against your body and try on the item along the way.
This gives you the most precise result.

Sometimes a pattern may say: waist measurement – 52 cm (waist minus 52 cm).

If this calculation don’t fit with how your row fits around your waist, don’t worry about it. Trying it on your body will most often give the best results anyways. Just make sure to stretch the row/round slightly (depending on how tight/lose you want the end result to be)

If you are new:

• read the first 1-2 pages from start to finish – this will tell you all you need in terms of materials, stitches, the process and measurements
• take your measurements – use my video as a guide to help you – and write them down
• do one step at a time (instead of reading through the whole pattern, as that can be too much at a time)
• if you are unsure about anything go back to “Process” section or if there is a video/photo look at that as a help
  
  If you are intermediate/advanced:
  
• you might not have to read everything to begin with – maybe you already know the stitch abbreviations
• look at the materials used
• take your measurements – write them down
• go to the actual pattern (if you need further instructions read the “Process” section.)
