What would be the number of chain stitches to add width to the “Cedar Wrap” pattern?
What is the weight of this yarn? Wish you would/could suggest alternatives that are more familiar.
Hi! Just updated this pattern to include the yarn weight (sometimes our older patterns still need updating, so thank you for bringing this to my attention!). I always recommend yarnsub.com for your yarn substitution needs: https://yarnsub.com/yarns/schoppel-wolle/zauberball

love it! I’m going to make me one, thank you.
What am I doing wrong on this. I have way too many stitches. Am I do to the Dc2tog twice each time? Is there a tutorial on this particular wrap?
It says dc2tog over next 2 st that decreases one st. Then you do 2 dc in next bringing it back to same amount. I find if I do each stitch without reading ahead I do better till learn pattern. Over the next 2 st does not mean do it 2 times. So it should work out correct. Hope this is helpful in some way.
