My tension is too tight :(
IFTTT newest submissions : crochet
I’m a beginner and I can say that my tension and stitching is extremely even given my skill level. However way too tight for wearables (which is the only reason I started) so they don’t drape well on the body. Also building off the chain can be extremely difficult, especially when trying to work off the back stitch (?) after one row it’s easy though.
Trying to loosen my tension leaves me with absolute disasters that are uneven and lose the pattern because the loose tension doesn’t come naturally to me.
I feel like I’ve heard somewhere to size up the hook size for the chain for tight tensions.
If this is true, how much should I size up? I use yarn indicated for a 5mm hook. Also, can I keep using that hook for the rest of the pattern to help it drape? Should I adjust the number of chains as well?
Thanks in advance, signed a very stressed girl who thought she could crochet a Halloween costume but just frogged a half finished skirt she spent two weeks on :(
