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.
It does look good :-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting observation re. fs/bs in this crochet pattern!
Looks as if it will be pretty dense/ - not much drape...
ReplyDeleteI 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! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the more open look, but both are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think your observation of the one side is fascinating and fun to make and show to two types of styles I like denser! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that the bottom one looks nicer. I hope it has the right amount of drape that you were looking for.
