Question
jlcgrandma
I'm currently recovering from a stroke in the hospital - I decided to add crocheting to my daily routine to aide in my dexterity as well as mental recovery. I found a new pattern for a beach bag to make for my granddaughter and sent my husband for supplies. The pattern calls for a 5.5mm hook, mistakenly he picked out a 10mm. I didn't notice until I got a few rows into the pattern and could tell the bottom did not have the concave look it should.
I'm thinking if I change my initial magic circle size I could still follow the pattern end up with a larger bag which I'm sure she would love even more. I've altered patterns for blankets and scarfs before based on hook and yarn type, this is my first attempt at a bag, pattern is very simple and a good place to let my brain heel.... crochet hooks go big or go home!
Thank you in advance for your help-
Phyllis Pleasants
