21) How do I prevent a hairy garment from shedding?
All yarns will have excess fibres (from production) that might come off as lint or shedding. Brushed yarns (ie hairier yarns) have more of these loose, excess fibres, causing more shedding.
Shedding also depends on what is worn under or over the garment, and whether this pulls at the yarn fibres. It’s therefore not possible to guarantee that there will be no shedding
Below are some tips on how to get the best result when working with hairier yarns:
1. When the garment is finished (before you wash it) shake it vigorously so the looser hairs come off. NOTE: do NOT use a lint roller, brush or any method that pulls at the yarn.
2. Place the garment in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer - the temperature will cause the fibres to become less attached to each other, and excess fibres will come off easier.
3. Leave in the freezer for a few hours before taking it out and shaking it again.
4. Wash the garment according to the instructions on the yarn label.

How could I modify the pattern for adults? I love the look and want one myself! 😄

Dear Agniezska, you can maybe take inspiration from crocheted hats for women and/ or for men. Happy crocheting!
15.12.2021 - 11:59Finner ikke svar på om jeg kan erstatte Drops merino ekstra fin med big merino. Kan jeg bruke 2 eller 3 tråder for å hekle luen?

Hei Elisabeth. Big Merino (garn gruppe C) er et tykkere garn enn Merino Extra Fine (Garngruppe B), og de har derfor forskjellig heklefasthet. Jeg er redd Big Merino nok er for tykt til at du kan oppnå den angitte heklefastheten til Merino Extra Fine. Når det er sagt er dette settet heklet i Eskimo (Garngruppe E), så du vil nok kunne oppnå heklefatsheten til dette settet ved å bruke 2 tråder Big Merino - men lag en prøvelapp så du er sikker. God fornøyesle

Bonjour Angélique, une fois que vous avez vos 42 demi-brides, continuez en point texturé jusqu'à ce que l'ouvrage mesure 17 cm et terminez par 4 tours de mailles serrées. Bon crochet!

Bonjour Angeluque, à la fin du cercle, vous avez 40 ms, puis vous crochetez 1 tour de demi-brides en augmentant 2 m à intervalles réguliers = vous avez maintenant 42 demi-brides. Vous trouverez ici comment répartir des augmentations. Bon crochet!
