Hmmm. You young'ins need to learn Crochet! scream

I crochet like craaaaazy. I like following my own patterns but do follow guides for certain things.

Dayum. That's the problem with needlework, so hard to alter sizes.

I don't know much about knitting but on one of the gloves I made, I accidentally made the pinkie way, way too wide. To fix it, I grabbed some thread, the same color as the yarn, and pinched in a bit until it was the right size. Then I sewed the pinch together and then sewed it flat against the side so it wouldn't stick out. It does leave a noticeable seam but it's really almost invisible on the outside and hardly feel-able on the inside.

Crochet weave is thicker than knitting so maybe it will work well for you?

Oh goodness! ARE THERE ANY KNITTING EXPERTS IN THE GUILD!?

Options:

1) Wrap it around your butt, measure where it fits. Add an extra inch, trim the excess, fold the extra inch over and sew it securely with a machine so it won't fray and unravel and continue on as planned.

2) Measure the appropriate distances, Sew a little tiny button on the under side on one end and big wooden button on the outside on the other end. When you wrap the skirt around you, the big button will make it look like a stylish belt-like skirt and the tiny button which won't be seen on the outside will hold the other end more securely.



3) Last resort, do it all over again.

Tips: The next one you do, swap the length and height. Instead of making loops for the length and knitting the width like it appears you did here, make the loops for the width first and then knit to the length you want like a scarf that way if you make it too big or to small, it's easier to unravel or knit more to fix.

I'm knitting a scarf, crocheting a half glove and looming a long glove/sleeves...thing XD
