Click here to download it as a pdf file.

Pattern : Josephine, a crocheted lacy chocker by pyogazel.

Stitches :chain stitch, single crochet, slip stitch, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet.

Crochet hook : US size D (3mm)

Yarn : almost 1/4 ball of Cotton, brand Pernelle, quality “tropique”, color light pink, 140 yds for 1 oz 3/4, to be used with a 4,5mm hook.

Level : Quite easy and quick project, not for beginners though, as you have to master trebles and clusters.

Short and Sweet

Surprising.

Who would have thought? not me... For sure!

But this is living proof I was wrong. I always thought the thinner the yarn, the better. But here, I must recon it is not true. My version in a thinner yarn is less attractive than the thicker original.

You live, you learn.

I consider my version of short and sweet however satisfactory .

STATS :

Pattern : Short and Sweet, bolero by Angela 'La vonne' Best, started 20 july 2007 finished 04 august 2007 (15 hours of work I think)

Stitches :chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, and the best part : back post and front post double crochet (see video here), seed stitch.

Crochet hook : a definitely too small US size D (3mm)

Yarn : almost 6 balls of Cotton, brand Pernelle, reference “tropique”, color light pink (not the best choice, maybe), 140 yds for 1 oz 3/4, to be used with a 4,5mm hook.

Design : no sew cardigan (my version).

Level : Intermediate (I tried to make it less square shape and more curve friendly).

I did a few more changes in the original design
