Reposted by Tam Rogers 👻🎃📚Debbie von Rechenberg @speedofdebbie.bsky.social · 27/11/2025I knit & crochet, and the basics apply to both: swatch first to see if the stitch gauge is even close (and if you like the way the fabric looks/feels). Adjust hook size/pattern if needed (might involve math). Try on frequently (easier with crochet, as you don't have a zillion loose loops). Have fun. 111
