I have seen this posted a couple of times and I keep thinking that it would be a great piece to add to my wardrobe. I do not know why I hesitate, perhaps I am not sure what color to select. This would be ambitious piece for sure, no skill level noted.

This crochet lacy duster is very stylish. The note attached states The weight of the body results in substantial growth in total length when worn. So does the designer advise when selecting the size to crochet, go a size smaller? Does the type of yarn have an affect on that as well?

OK here is what I did with this and learned a valuable lesson I used this lovely yarn in Aqua called Plymouth Cleo I was thrilled with how the project was going as the stitches were correct almost every time If not I tore it out and started from where I messed up I tried it on BEFORE I finished and then did two more rows of it to end on the row Then I washed it on delicates and laid it out on the table to dry after trying to shape it for two days Sigh It hit the floor by the time I tried it on today Sorry about the hat but that's my Go-To hat when I hadn't done my hair and I desperately need the perm Unfortunately I believe I could have done it in a Medium I'm a bit too large but it fits big I…Read More think Nancy S aka Perlandra

I love this pattern! However, I started it today and when it says on Row 1 to Pivot piece ...... I did this, but it seems to me there are more "chains" and I end up with more than 11 shells. I tried skipping more and that didn't work. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong maybe it was in the foundation chain I made? The first row of scallops turned out just fine. Help! Nancy S.

@Perlandra For specific pattern instructions, I suggest commenting any of the several commenters below who have successfully made the pattern. They should be of some help. If not, you can contact the designer (in this case Caron International) for some more guidance. Hope that helps! -Kaylee, Editor of FaveCrafts

What I would love to do with this duster is to crochet it in a 2 yarn and make it very lightweight. Has anyone tried this?

The pattern is very easy for a lefty, awright4ever, read the pattern and follow what the stitches are they don't change for left to right hand. I was taught to crochet by my rt handed grandma and she taught me to read the patterns.

Hi, I've started on the lacy duster in size XXXL and am stuck at rows 7-9. The total shell count I end with is 46 shells instead of 44. Are the any corrections in the pattern? My last good count is at row 6 ending with 34 shells. Please advise

I wanted to make that duster but when I realized it had been created by Doris Chan, it makes me nervous. I made the Zen Jacket earlier this year and the directions are just crazy. The end product did not turn out well: the proportions were atrocious. I had to throw it away.

The balls are 6oz. so you would look up the number of ozs. for each size and divide by 6 to get the number of balls required for the size you wish to make.

Made another one of these by request for a Christmas present. Mine was in heather grey and was large. This one is black and size small. She was thrilled, and it turned out beautiful. Seriously, if you like this. Watch an online tutorial on the very beginning (fsc), then after you get through the sleeves, it's very easy.

I LOVE this duster, but being a beginner at crochet and being left handed, it is way above my skill level. Are there simpler patterns for something similar to this? Can you also show videos? Lefties are known for being very visual and needing to see something being done. At least, I am. Thanks!

awright4evr 751308 4

Mar 23, 2015

I agree!! Please, it would take me a year to complete. Someone needs to build a program that would help us lefties with crocheting. Surely there are more than 2 left handed crocheters in this world. Thanks

I made this in a simply soft grey heather, and wore it to a wedding over long sleeve black top and long black skirt. Everybody loved it! (even me, and I don't make too many things for myself AND like it) I would love to put a picture of it here, too bad we can't. I look forward to wearing it to a Spring banquet over something lightweight like the model has on. It took me a while to figure out the beginning, I did watch the tutorial on line. Once I got that, I made it through the sleeve sections and I was flying!!!! I made my few 'Amish mistakes" but they weren't noticeable!! Very very lovely & feminine!

I really liked the look of this duster and started in the medium size to do a sort of test everything went well When I decided to make this for one of my Christmas gifts in a size lg x-lg I started having problems After finishing row shells for lg x-lg I went to row in the lg x-lg size After finishing row I counted my shells I had how could this be right pattern says I took out my crochet back to row three and then when moving to row realized that there was no way that there were only going to be shells at the end of that row according the the lg x-lg directions How could I add shell increases at the corners and only add one shell I think that there is an error in the shell counts on the large x-large directions I'm moving on because…Read More I really like this pattern and feel that once I get to the body everything will be fine as in my medium sample but you might want to double check before taking out rows to try and get the shell count right

Almost finish one. I love it. Planning on making more for Christmas gifts this year. It's fairly simple, just need to pay attention to row counts and pattern. I have to re-do several rows because I didn't read all the pattern stitches :-). After that it was a breeze. BTW, there was a video posted in one of the newsletter about the "foundation stitches", after watching the video, it was really easy but can't remember which one it came from.

I'm also puzzled by this one. Where are the extra shells coming in? Does that mean that there would be (2dc, ch2, 2dc, ch2, 2dc) in the corner of the previous row?

Ok, newbie & stuck here.

Does this mean that there are 24 shells total on this row, or what? And what does the * mean? Finally after 12 tries, I have gotten to this part & cannot figure it out further. Please, if anyone has any tips, please let me know. Thanks.

I am not a crocheter, but would love to have this duster...trying to find someone who can/will make it for me...(not asking here, just making statement)...Do any pros out there know if this can made shorter? And, if so, how would you do it--in case I find someone who will make it for me? Thanks...
