Re: Dare to Make It! Crochet-Along: Week 4

Linda, I was wondering how you're interpreting the hood attachment. The pattern says to 'beg at center of button or buttonhole bands', which is fine, except when working the edging. Those 2 quick corners--one inside and one outside--at the top of the bands make things a little wonky, IMO. Also, have you noticed there's no mention of adding trim to the back bottom? That seems rather odd. It would have made more sense if the pattern said to sew in the arms and side seams and
then make the edging.
