Should I crochet this?

[LadyTwilyte]

I definately want to make this in time for band camp: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=31379.0

he problem is...I don't know whether to sew or crochet it. Ireally want a cool fabric to sew it in but the tute looks somewhat difficult for a newbie for me. (I'd have to have my mom hovering over me the whole time I'd make this, sort of inconvient for her)

 

If I crochet it, I don't know if the same would come out right. (I consider myself intermediate but it still looks a bit hard)

 

Any tips?

The only problem I can see with crocheting it is the stretch factor. You know, fabric has very little give, but a crocheted item can be pretty stretchy. Just something to consider.

 

It is a cute pattern!

I think I would sew it, too. Then you'd have a nice sturdy non-stretching item. You could always embellish with crochet edging...

u could also line it with material and whipstitch them all together

If you crochet it you should definitely line it. Otherwise all the little or narrow things will work their way out. I agree with the other and say sew it. The stretch factor mentioned above is also a good point for something like this.

 

A crocheted one would be pretty cute but I think you'd be happier with a fabric one.

A fabric one will probably hold up better. If you want to crochet it I suggest that you use hdc and line it.

I would suggest if you are crocheting it to use that yarn that feels like a cord. I just saw some last night a hobby lobby but forgot what its called. and use sc or hdc stitches. It would be cool to add a beaded fringe so it would look really dressy for the clubs.
