    its a good tutorial but worth mentioning that one should crochet it quite tightly otherwise there going to be a hole on the second decrease on the row 44. halfway through the process and you cant fix it :((((

    ​@francesolssonmckinnon1134 Hey Frances I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did yours turn out? I used similar yarn to the video first go and it didn't even fit my cat...it was insanely small. Weeks of work wasted (I'm a slow crocheter 😅) did this work for you with thicker yarn? I grabbed a wool, but I'm considering just going for a totally different pattern since this didn't work out for me before. So curious as to how it went for you!

    @@darkwebgirl hey! It ended up huge haha, but I believe I actually used double crochet instead of single and just guesstimated the row count. I added a drawstring to front, which made it a bit more usable. It did work, but I would maybe stick with the single crochet the next time? I would give you more tips but I'm still a beginner so I don't really know what I did half the time haha🫣 Good luck to you!

    Thanks so much for sharing! I’m working on mine now, I’m wondering how many hours (approximately) did it take you to finish. I might just be a slow crocheter but it takes me 4-6 mins to crochet a 50 single crochet row and I think that should add up to 456 hours that it’s taking me to make this. Just sharing (not comparing) with peace and love - Ray 💛🧸🌞

    Did you finish, and how did it turn out? I went first go with similar yarn to the video...#4 cotton. It was too small to even fit my cat. I didn't expect that at all. I'm going back in with chunky wool today - do you think it'll be too big, or just right if my go with similar yarn to the video wasn't even half the size of the one she's working up?
