Several people asked about making without sleeves in 2023 but I can’t find the answer. This pattern was featured in an email I just received and I too would love to make it but without the sleeves. Any advise on where/how I would modify?
I want to make this, but without the sleeves. Is there an alternative pattern?
Hello! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
Hello, Nicola. First, let me say that I really enjoy “I Like Crochet”. It takes up no room on the chairside table. Second, I am in the same predicament as Sheila D, (July 12, 2021). I would like a size 2X or even a 3X. You might say I am a well upholstered hooker! 😉

Great pattern. I did have to readjust the sleeves i believe there is an error in the sleeves construction.
Hi Robin! So glad you like the pattern! We’d love to see a photo of your completed piece, that would be so fun! In regards to the adjustments you made, let us know what you believe the error is and we can reach out to the designer for clarification (and to help others). Thank you! – Nicola
