Häkelanleitung für Weste / Seelenwärmer | Shrug #6 | 1-2-3 IDEEN #2

Hi, I purchased this pattern last night. I’ve not really worked from graph patterns before but I am an experienced crocheter.
I seem to be coming unstuck with this pattern. I’ve tried it with a 4mm and a 6mm, but the chain rows seem to be too tight and are gathering the other rows. It’s not looking as neat as yours and the yarn I’m using doesn’t need blocking. Any advice?
It’s such a beautiful pattern and don’t want to give up on it.
Thank you 😊

Sehr schöner Seelenwärmer! Ich trage 38 , bin jetzt bei der angegebenen Anzahl von Reihen, gleiche Nadelstärke etc. Aber es viel zu eng und zu kurz. Bis er passt, wenn überhaupt, muss ich bestimmt das doppelte häkeln. Ärgerlich, wenn die Anleitungen nicht stimmen.

Oops forgot, in cotton

Thank you! No, that wasn’t obvious to an English speaker. For anyone whose interested I looked it up, DK yarn Size Large is 1551 yards.

Me too! I cannot find that information anywhere, Kathrin. Beautiful shrug!

Hi, can you tell me how much yarn is needed for this pattern pls
