Better?

I decided to use the 2 mm hook, so that there isn't too big a difference between this section and the central panel. I like the more open look, though some of yesterday's commentators say they like the denser fabric. It was easier to get going this time round because I made the mistakes on the first version! One thing I like about this pattern stitch is that all the shells are worked from the same side. Crochet definitely has two different sides; working back and forth they usually alternate, but in this case the mainly chain row is worked on the 'wrong' side.

  2. Looks as if it will be pretty dense/ - not much drape...

  3. I don't know if I got this right but I like the bottom piece. It has a nice balance of openness vs stitches. I need to scroll back to find where you first talked about his top! :-)

  4. I like the more open look, but both are beautiful!

  5. I think your observation of the one side is fascinating and fun to make and show to two types of styles I like denser! :)

  6. I agree that the bottom one looks nicer. I hope it has the right amount of drape that you were looking for.
