Crochet girl hey!
Hey Mom!
A lot of people have been asking me what I've been doing with my time off since practicum. Well, this week I was watching some youtube videos when I suddenly fell into the loving arms of Milù, Now I know what you're thinking: Mack, please stop giving your weighted blanket human names... it's weird. I will have you know, that Milù (at least I think that's her name) does crochet tutorials. I don't know if it was her soothing voice or hot pink acrylic nails but I was immediately entranced. Unfortunately for me, those tutorials are entirely in Spanish
As far as I can tell the pattern is for a large shirt so I do the first row of stitches and realize that something is wrong. When I wrap it around myself it is tight, like could hulk out and destroy it tight. The pattern must be a children's large. No problem! As a beginner-intermediate crocheter, I decide to stretch the yarn out as I go until it fits my gob-bod.
I continue and it's going well. Did I use a crotchet hook that was too big because I didn't feel like looking for a smaller one? Yes. Did I use yarn that is too heavy? Also yes. But did I manage to convince myself that "a bit uglier than the original" is in right now? You bet!
So I get to the end of part one and then I realize 2 things:
So if you are looking to make a large shirt for human adult bodies, I can recommend a tutorial for you that is true to size and easy to follow if you are not me.
That is all.

BUT
(and it is a big but) I know some numbers in Spanish and so I figured I would give it a go.As far as I can tell the pattern is for a large shirt so I do the first row of stitches and realize that something is wrong.

- This is not a children's shirt.
- The section Milù and I were working on was just the front panel of the shirt. So half of the shirt.
