If your crochet garments don’t fit the way you expected, it’s often not the pattern.
In this video I talk about the three main factors that influence the fit of a crochet garment: tension, yarn choice, and construction.
Even when following a pattern exactly, small differences in these can completely change how a garment looks and feels.
Understanding how these elements work together will help you stop guessing and start controlling the final result.
If you’re interested in planning your projects more accurately, I also created a yarn calculator spreadsheet that I use when designing garments.
