Hi there,
I was wondering if you could tell me what fiber is used for this yarn? I’m from the US and we don’t seem to have the double knit yarn and I’m trying to find the best alternative.
I want warm without it being itchy like wool would make me.
Hi this is a 8ply light worsted weight yarn! 2 strands held together – Hope that helps
would worsted work as well?
Yes use worsted weight but just make sure the Sizing is ok!
Thank you for the pattern I’m going to give it a try.
Hi, I have a question. In the hood part’s Row 3 and Row 4, are we doing two rows of double crochets or is that second part of Row 3 meant to be Row 4 and it was written twice?
I added asterisks to point out what I mean:
Row 3: Ch3, Dc in the base of ch2, 2dc in next st, Dc in each stitch until the 2nd last 2 stitches, 2dc in next st, dc in last st, TURN, **Ch3, Dc into the base of the chain 3, dc in each stitch around.**
Row 4: Ch3, Dc into the base of chain 3, dc in each stitch around
Its a mistake on my part! its a duplicate of row 4: thankyou for the heads up! Ive sorted it now!
beside of the bulky yarn can you use was worst weight yarn I don’t have a lot of heavy yarn and if so what size hook should be used
thank you Elizabeth Drenkhahn
Yes, you could use bulky yarn; just be mindful when doing the turtleneck; it needs to fit comfortably over your head to get on and off and when you hit the increaces in the HOOD part! and maybe you will find you don’t need as many increases. Let me know how you get on. id love to see it on facebook Lisa Auch Crochet
