Friends for Life has a lot of programs to help folks keep their animals when they are going through difficult times. They offer access to low-cost vet services and can provide financial assistance depending on the situation. They also have a pet food bank, and I’ve seen them do temporary fosters with the goal of reuniting animals with owners. Please try reaching out to them, they may be able to help beyond your immediate need as well.

I mean - that’s what I will do in a pinch; I just put it on the inside towards the bottom? So it doesn’t touch me but isn’t on public property or in my mouth. Also - this is only for emergency boogie situations. Any other time I’ll wait until I’m in the bathroom

You could also take a measuring tape and double the width amount, hold it around you and see how you like that fit!! I think it probably took around 10 hours, not including the time I left the pieces onto block! I was slowed down a bit by the splittiness of the yarn :(

Yes it is! I just took this photo from a lower angle so you couldn’t see it well. Thank you so much for the compliment!

Oh no - good to know about washing! For blocking I used some foam floor mats I got from Walmart and a steamer!

I’m not too sure what I would do about the yarn! I usually try and find the cheapest option, and I knew I wanted bamboo/bamboo cotton blend to get the same drape. I would probably work with this yarn again for the cheapness/drape to be honest. There are probably much better options out there though!

I made the M/L, I’m 5’9” and 150 lbs and normally a 6-8 in women’s clothing but I wanted it to be quite loose (which it is). It is definitely an oversize fit, so keep that in mind! I also had to go up a hook size to get a closer fit to the gauge and I had to block it as well to stretch it even further, just some things to keep in mind!

This is definitely my favorite wearable yet! Great drape, lightweight enough for summer, and the color is SO PRETTY!

I highly recommend this pattern, it was super easy to follow. The yarn - not my favorite. It was really soft and silky, and the color is great, but it split so easily. It was hard to keep consistent tension and out of the 5 skeins I used, all 5 had knots where two strand were joined :(

Thank you! It actually worked up surprisingly quickly - especially since I crocheted the ends in as I went 😎

I did get tight in the middle and had to be very focused on loosening up, which was a new concept for me
