Modifications/notes:

  • Finished!  I slide over the finish line on my back with one ski on my foot and one pole in my hand.
  • This was my first ever crochet garment and I love it!  The fit is great and I managed to follow the instructions with no problems whatsoever.
  • My stitch gauge was tighter than the pattern so I made the largest size to get the fit I wanted.  Given the problems I have with row gauge in knitting, I was spot on with the crochet.  The irony – it burns!
