your bootie instructions are so much easier to read than most of the others on the web. And cuter too?

Hello
I am sorry for my late answer. 🙁
When you would like to create a size or two bigger item than is written in the pattern, just use a bigger crochet hook or thicker yarn. But if you would like to have a lot bigger item at the end than is written in the pattern you should change the pattern, add a few rounds in the pattern.

I read your lessons about yarn and the crochet hook. What a super great ideea to gather all that info in one specific lesson. Looking forward to learning about how to read crocheting charts. Since I’ve discovered crocheting, a month ago, I saw all those amazing charts but don’t know how to use it.
Thank you for you time to read our mes. and for your imagination and skills in this forgotten art.
