Speed Hook Shell Reviewed by Nigina Mitchell on 2009-09-03 *****
It was so easy to make.It was easy it took me 3 weeks to finish,but I used different yarn,because required microspun yarns is too pricey for me.I am 5'11' and I did it on longer length 28'.I used 2 strands super saver in baby pink and petal pink colors.I crochet 2 strands with 17 mm crochet hook of yarn and I had to buy 4 skeins.My shell looks like a warm bulky vest.It does not shrink.If you crochet this pattern with different yarn, it will look different.I plan to make more vests in different colors.
Thanks for nice pattern!
