I have very large upper arms and am looking for a crocheted sweater pattern with batwing or dolman sleeves, or something else along that line. I found one pattern, dating from the 1950s, but am looking for something a bit more updated.

I appreciate any help with this

Is the circumference of the FINISHED hat the same size as the chart indicates or when it is placed on the head?

I'm looking for unusual gift ideas for adult women. I have done scarves, water bottle holders, hats, potholders and shawls. I don't want biggy projects like afghans (I did do a small leg/lap quilt for my mom one year that was cool). Any thoughts or great ideas?? Thanks!

Working on this for a gift. I don't understand if I end on a row 2 turn and sc a row then attach the new color, how do I reverse RS to WS because row 1 of the hat says RS and it will be worked on the RS of the cuff.

Cuff
With larger hook and MC, ch 76.
1st row: (WS). 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook. 1 sc in each ch to end of ch. 75 sc. Turn.

Hello Friends, I am trying to complete the Multi-Motif Afghan by Kathy Merrick from Fall 2008 knit.1. Pattern says, "work a small six point star in each corner between center rnd and rnd of squares with ch2 in two points facing center, ch4 in one point facing side square, ch3 in two points facing corner and ch3 in one point facing other side square. I don't know where to begin!

I have a pattern for a sunbonnet sue afghan. Row three calls for me to start with her shoes and I don’t like to cut the yarn and tie knots.. is there any better way to change colors in the middle of a row? I am a visual person and could use some very detailed instructions or a photo... T
