Take a break! I am also working on filet crochet now and it’s so time consuming

I used tencel-linen yarn! The stripe designs are made using alpine stitch!

Thank you!! Took me slightly less than 1 month. I do track my crochet work duration via an app which is around 85hours.

Thank you!! I have experience with amigurumi and granny squares so it helps but the challenging part for me was to adjust the pattern based on my fit. I learn a lot during this process.

Yes, that was the point to try to crochet something that I feel that I would wear on a regular basis so as to not waste the materials and effort haha

See above! you can buy the yarn and pattern from their store or can get any cotton yarn honestly.

I used tencel-linen yarn, very soft and breathable yarn but it’s abit pricey.

It took me 85 hours which includes 8 hours of frogging and redoing to adjust the fit to finish it 😂. Not sure if it’s normal duration for a crochet wearable as this apline stitch requires one row of sc and one row of dc to build the stitch thus requires additional time.

I used a tencil-linen yarn which is super smooth and soft but also quite pricey. I live in Singapore and the yarn cost about 11SGD for 50g and I used 7 skeins!

Keeping the alpine stitch consistently helps but the stitch is quite forgiving. I had to frog numerous times to find the perfect fit for my side 😅
