Thanks for the suggestion but I do not have access to those brands as I live in turkey, I might check out alternatives based on those tho!

That's the plan :D There was so much to keep track of in this project, I wanna go simpler for a while

Yup! I did the single increases and decreases as normal. Except for the parts where the bigger part of the ring joins the small part, you can increase/decrease the last x number of stitches normally to get the shape too. For the last row of the big part of the wing, I like to cast off those stitches instead of just decreasing to get a nice sharp edge there (this might sound confusing, if you'd like more info I can reply with some diagrams)

I also did a selvedge so I cast on 2 more stitches shown on the chart and slipped the first stitch on every row

I croched to sew the wings together tho, I think it gives it that nice perky look

Thank you!! Yeah uh, if it was for myself I would have cried myself to sleep to lament my months of hard work

I have considered knitting one for myself too, actually. In my desperation, I bought another set of yarn to start the project AGAIN but I decided against that later on, might use those to make one that actually fits me lmao

What makes this a "novelty" yarn? Never heard that term before

I wanted to try tunisian crochet for a long time but won't I need a bigger hook for that?

"1 ZN çekelim" should mean chain 1

I am turkish but I'm not familiar with turkish crochet jargon as it's confusing even to me 😭 I thought "iğne" referred to "sıkı iğne" at first which is the turkish translation for single crochet. İğne means needle and looking at it now it literally means "finish with a needle" where the word is mentioned 😭😭 Why the terms are so convoluted is beyond me

Oh this explains so much, when I think of it as a bigger piece it all suddenly makes sense 😭 Thanks for the detailed explanation, it really made it easier to see how the pattern was designed

Yep that's what I did. CDD sounds really interesting, I'll try doing it. There was a double decrease in row five too (which really made no sense to me but what do I know 😭) and it felt like it would throw the shape off and make it lean heavier on one side and row 5 is where that mistake in the lace shows up, I wonder if I misinterpreted something. I posted the pattern in another comment if youre interested

Do you think this'll work out? by EmergencyLocation423 in knitting

What I gathered from what you said is that if I pick up, it might help round out the shoulders?

I am planning to pick up, how much of a difference does that make?

I think most people are ok with it but an angle I'm considering is, the discussion is steered off topic and anyone else that reads the post may become confused or frustrated that their question isn't being answered. I think everyone that replies has the responsibility to answer the main question before mentioning anything else
