I'd like to try this it's a nice looking stitch! I'm wanting a very thick coat like duster. I've got a 8.00mm hook and very thick yarn that is compatible to the hook. I'm 5'8" and would like long sleeves as well. Will the first set of 86 chains be long enough for me? Id like it to be ankle length.
The 86 ch's determine the width of the back panel only. The length is determined by the number of rows you complete. This design uses a #3 sport weight yarn. If you change to a bulky yarn and want to add sleeves this becomes an entirely different design requiring another pattern. Here is the link to the written pattern (size small) which might help you visualize the pattern. crazycoolcrochet.com/crochet-long-cardigan-duster/ I am so happy you like this stitch and design, but I cannot advise in too much detail since you are attempting a totally different design. I hope this helps somewheat.
@@CrazyCoolCrochet The crochet stitch wont be different though...Right? I just want longer pieces. I would like to make the sleeves have that V pattern all the way to the wrist, then crochet what looks like dbl crochet stitch on the wrist.
@@jerriwilson6536 The stitches would not be different other than looking thicker. All I can say is do what you want and hope that you get the outcome you are looking for.
It’s the same pattern, just different materials. It sounds lovely 😊 but you may have to do lèss stitches per row because of the bigger yarn. For instance, instead of 86 you may only need 60 stitches to cover your back. The same with the other pieces.
@@charlottehyatt9601 Thank you yes, I did as many chains as needed from my shoulder to shoulder . My problem is as I make this, I keep extending the width ...lol ...ripped out several times and think I have it right!
It would be nice if we knew what kind of yarn was being used in this tutorial, how much yarn to purchase, and what size needle to use and what size you are making. It’s beautiful and it’s a good tutorial but there needs to be more details as stated above.

Hi...I just watched this video and I like what you made and I want to try it. At the moment I do not have #3 sport weight, just #4 worsted weight yarn. Will that work? Or will it be too thick and warm?? I won't be going to Walmart as that isn't an essential and only one person per family can go. I could order Walmart online I guess. This #3 is mainly a baby yarn??
Hi Michelle. I'm so glad you like this! Using #4 yarn will produce a bit of a thicker, warmer and slightly larger duster. Using a #4 is not a deal breaker, it just won't turn out quite as lighter weight as designed. #3 sport weight yarn is not just for baby yarns, but can be used interchangeably. I do applaud and thank you for following the guidelines so closely and taking the situation so seriously. I too refuse to go out for yarn at this time. My daughter is a nurse at a large hospital and she has 5 kids at home so you can imagine my anxiety level. THANK YOU FOR STAYING HOME! Keep in touch and be safe.
This is a nice pattern but not enough info on making bigger sizes . You tell us what the multiples are so that bigger size can be made but then how do we figure the rest of the pattern? How do you figure out how many to chain to make front panels . When you add stitch markers you are showing in video according to size you’re making but how do i figure that out if i am making bigger size obviously it will be different .
Hi Dawn. Thank you for your comments. Excellent points. I normally add more detail in the written pattern on Etsy or on the blog CrayCoolCrochet.com .

Crazy Cool Crochet Sylvia is a clever designer , but she leaves too much to the imagination in her tutorials. There is not enough information in her other videos either. Especially her lovely cardigan.
@@whatever9770 Thank you so much for the compliments. Please understand that the videos are meant as a supplement to the written patterns which are available on the blog CrazyCoolCrochet.com or the Etsy patterns. Links are available in the Description area above. I am currently limited to 15 minute videos which explains why some of the tutorials are not as detailed as I would prefer. I did do a more thorough tutorial for the red sweater but needed to split it between three videos; not ideal. Hopefully, the written patterns will prove helpful along with the videos.
Hi Alice. To make a larger size you should increase the beginning chain. For a size large you might try adding 31 chains to the 86 for a total of 107. That would give you a multiple of 3. The 31 extra chains should give you about 5 inches wider.
Please watch the video. At 1:39 it states the size is for "generous size small". There is more sizing detail in the white space below the video where is says "Show More" or where there is tiny "v" next to the name of the video. Thank you for watching!
Basic instructions for larger sizes are in the Etsy pattern: shorturl.at/irsy9 This particular pattern does not have line by line instructions for the larger sizes.
Sylvia, this is a really nice pattern. one question, if I didn't want the sleeves, would just doing single crochet around the edge work to replace the sleeves.. Either way, its lovely , and I love the color :D Thankyou for sharing, hun :)
Hi Karen. Yes, you can skip the sleeves taking care when attaching the panels, sewing only up to where the armholes would be. Also, the design would leave you with a bit of a drop shoulder. I originally made this with long sleeves but changed it to short. I'm glad you like the color!
What a great idea! You can easily add pockets much the way you would add them to a pocket shawl. Use the same stitches as for the body and make it to the width/length you want. Attach to the front panels wherever you prefer with a simple whip stitch. Here is a pocket shawl to view: ua-cam.com/video/GkmO8Vh6v9Y/v-deo.html
@@CrazyCoolCrochet When I go into the turning ch for the final stitch I'm at 83 stitches. Then my v stitch row is off. I wish I could show you. I'm loving the pattern but this may be to much for me to do.
I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean use sc instead of dc to make a V stitch? No. That would change the end result completely. It would be a much smaller end product. And the V stitch would not look the same. Hope this answers your question.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you found Crazy Cool Crochet and even happier that you like my designs. Thank you for letting me know. Please subscribe and come back often!
I just started your cardigan today and I am a very new beginner. I am trying to make it for a friend for her birthday and she is a large. I just doubled the 86 chains +3. We will see. The only problem I am having so far is that the bottom is looking scalloped. Any suggestions?
Hi Lil. Thank you for trying out this pattern. I'm worried that you might have made the beginning chain too long. When you say you doubled the 86 chains that would be much too long. You might try adding 31 chains to the 86 for a total of 107. That would give you a multiple of 3. The 31 extra chains should give you about 5 inches wider. Not sure about the scallops. That might be happening if you are adding extra stitches. Be sure you are skipping two stitches between V stitches. Hope this helps! EDIT: Also, be careful with the all double crochet rows...starting with row 3...you are entering double crochets with no chains in between the double crochets.
@@CrazyCoolCrochet So, if I wanted XL do 131 chains? And thank you so much for your reply. I look forward to more of your videos. This one was one of the nicest I have viewed for anything. It was very clear and easy to follow.
@@lilstewart1761 Wow. Thank you so much for the kind words!! I would go with 129 (that would give the multiple of 3) for the starting chain. That should give you a good 10 inches wider from the original small size. If when you are done and it looks too small, add more rows of the single crochet border until it looks right. It will look better anyway if you go ahead and add more rows of the sc border to balance it out.
You needed to watch just a little bit more. At around the 1:43 mark I say it is for a generous size small. I should have said it at the start. So sorry!
Thank you for your question. Since this is crochet, you are not casting on. You begin with a foundation chain. For a size large you might try adding 31 chains to the 86 for a total of 107. That would give you a multiple of 3. The 31 extra chains should give you about 5 inches wider. I hope this helps.
Ha ha ha! I replayed the video (that was one of my very first) and was also annoyed! Yikes. I had to readjust the tension constantly, or maybe it was nerves. In any case...so sorry! I hope you were able to continue watching.
