(Persephone pig pattern is available for both crochet and knit in our Etsy Shop or on Ravelry)
Vicky made this Persephone with a size 3.5 mm hook and Stylecraft special DK |
I made this one with a size 3.5 mm hook and Stylecraft special DK |
I made this one with a size 3.5 mm hook and Stylecraft special DK |
I am not surprised by the fact that out of all the things we could have made we both chose to do the same one but I am surprised by the huge difference in size.
The difference is simply due to tension and this would be a disaster if we had been crocheting a garment, so it is really worth checking your tension.
Another example of the shape shifting that can happen- sometimes to advantage.
First one on the left I picked up a 3.0 mm hook instead of the 2.5 mm one I should have been using. Second one is how the mouse is supposed to be, third one I missed a couple of straight rows out of the pattern and the fourth one is a copy of the third one because I really liked the tiny little mouse. (Crochet Menelaus mouse pattern or kit is available in our Etsy shop too :-) )
