Question
guiness56
95% of the afghans I make are either 7 - 10 inches shorter than the estimated length or width on the pattern. The only times this hasn't been the case is when the yarn I used was more stretchy then it was actually longer.
I am using the same yarn the pattern calls for and one size bigger hook. I do not crochet tight. I don't think I do anyway. I mean, you can see holes and it doesn't feel like wood.
The one I am working on now is supposed to be 42 1/2" long using a G hook. I used an H and it is only 35" long.
Any suggestions?
