wrap snuggie

[mason204]

OMG!! I love it!

I just wonder if I'd actually finish one. It can't be that tedious as I notice a few of you have made many. What a wonderful gift idea for Christmas!!
My daughter is 5'9" tall and very thin. I just have visions of working on this forever. I'm a fast crocheter but it looks like a lot of work.

P.S. Kicking myself as Bernat satin was buy 1, get one free last week!

Edited to add: I found errata for the Red Heart pattern on their site -


Here's the link to the errata document - http://redheart.com/PDF/Pattern_Corrections_92809.pdf

I would love to join in this CAL once I get some xmas gifts done. I check both RedHeart and Bernat patterns. I actually like them all, so I might make one each.

I will be back to check this CAL when I am ready.

I have 2 patterns for them. But I'm curious. Wouldn't they be really heavy compared to the fleecy ones? Maybe it's a personal preference.

I'm doing one of these!
I'm on my third skein on one for my 6 yr old DD. I'm using Red Heart Blueberry pie yarn and the Bernat pattern.

She's been begging for one so I hope she likes the crocheted one instead of the fleece one.

I have 4 complete, 1 needs a sleeve and 1 is 2/3 done. I have worked all of them in a combination of yarns.( I have made a big dent in my stash this way) Depending on the yarn they are a bit heavy.

I would love to see pics of some finished ones, I am working a one that will be green, red and white when finished.

I have been toying back and forth with doing this. I'm going to make an "ugly wrap snuggie" with yarn from my stash. I don't have enough of any one color to make it look right so I'm going rogue!!! I have no business doing this since Christmas is so close, but what they hey.

I'm using a K hook on the Red Heat pattern because I crochet loose. And using one strand. If you crochet tight you could go up to an M or N. The N hooks are pretty easy to find and usually alumninum. I don't think I've ever saw an L or M hook in the store (I know they are out there though).

I'm only using one strand (or will be when I start). It will make it lighter, plus the larger hook making the stitches loose (looser then I even crochet). You could use 2 strands of yarn, but then you may want a larger hook then an L. An N or even Q works great with two strands. You could use a K hook with 2 strands, I have, but it's very tight (works for my lose crochet stitches).

I finally bought the yarn. I had a tough time choosing a color. I'm using Red heart Super Saver. Can't remember the color, don't have it with me I'll post it later.

I was thinking if the pattern gets a bit tedious, I'll just pop in a movie..

Nicole, a multi color scarp yarn one sounds great. I love scarp yarn afghans.

I bought the yarn yesterday and will start on it as soon as I finish one thing for my swap. Joanne's had Caron Pounders on sale so I bought one in dark blue. I am also making it for my 6 y/o who is very tall for her age so I may add extra rows to the body.

I am on row 21, I started yesterday.
Walmart doesn't carry a L or M hook but Ben Franklin's does I'm just waiting for the call to let me know they got them in. I went with a K hook and it's looking good. My SIL is very tall so the longer the better, I may have to make a few of these for my kids when I'm done with all my Christmas crocheting.
