    Edit: for people getting stuck on stitch counts per row, the written pattern may be wrong. Follow the first 25 minutes of this video very closely (slow it down if you gotta), and just repeat the two different types of rows until the sleeve part is long enough for you. Your final row should be dc stitches (not window stitches) and this pattern is forgiving enough to add an extra stitch or two per side to make them the same. I found a lot of my issues were when I went on auto-pilot and ended up skipping a chain in the window rows, so i would then miss a dc in the next row, making it a stitch too short in the next window row. Just add the missing window to the stitch it was supposed to end on. As long as you are careful and only do it once or twice, you should be ok.
    Firstly, I need to thank you immensely for the tutorials for this-in literally every format. Thank you so much! Easy patterns for plus sizes are really hard to find, especially ones where custom fitting is as simple as adding a row or two, but this is the best pattern so far. I love how its looking so far and I am confident this will be my ultimate favorite sweater! Now, I may just be a slow crocheter, and I am making the 5X (i might make it a little bigger, idk yet) but I can say so far that this is quite a time consuming project for plus sizes. It is gorgeous and easy, I WOULD TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT FOR BEGINNERS, but one hexagon at 30 rows has taken me about 20 hours (it slowed down to a crawl of about one row per hour for me around row 25ish). If you struggle with sticking to one project, smaller sizes of this are going to be easy and quick, but larger sizes are gonna take a while.
    Again though, thank you a million times for this pattern and tutorial. It was exactly what I was looking for!

  • @2busysecretary

    I've made a bunch of these and you can make the sleeves smaller by stopping the hexagon before it is full size, then stitching the sleeve and then adding around the hexagon until the side of the sweater is the size you want. Then add your scallop or trim. They are fun to make using up a lot of left over yarn too.

Thanks so much for sharing your skills with everyone and especially for making the corresponding written patterns available for free.
